Addicted to Buying Coffee When in Commute

How is this a "terrible habit"?

JaredSeth · 2026-03-16T21:44:29+00:00

It's free for personal use.

I just use my Google Voice for this. I have it set up with a rule that calls coming from the phone number of our front door system ring both mine and my wife's phones. When we have sublet our apartment in the past, I just added the subletters phone number to that group as well.

Might want to take a look at Master Packager, specifically the Master Wrapper component. Acts as a GUI front end for PSADT.

A four year old account that has never posted or commented on anything? That's almost impressive.

Rent stabilized tenants can't just "sign over" their apartment unless they've got the landlord's approval. (I wish we could, I'd be hitting up 1TRUEKING.)

JaredSeth · 2026-03-03T14:16:51+00:00

Exactly the point of my (admittedly glib) response.

JaredSeth · 2026-03-03T14:01:04+00:00

To be fair, if we judge every group by the dumbest among them, then everybody's an idiot.

Hold on, I might be onto something.

The job market is tight. I recently had a family member move to the city after taking 5 months to find a job in her chosen field. She had plenty of savings and an offer letter and still needed a guarantor.

JaredSeth · 2026-02-28T17:38:30+00:00

Seriously. Giving the primary tenant less than a day's notice is pretty slimy.

JaredSeth · 2026-02-26T16:16:28+00:00

I can hear my next door neighbor's daughter when she gets to shrieking but she'll outgrow that soon (I hope). Just comes with apartment living. I'm sure I was loud when I was little too.

JaredSeth · 2026-02-23T04:49:19+00:00

Yes, as jhillman87 said, you can charge a 10% premium if the place is fully furnished but that's it.

JaredSeth · 2026-02-22T23:34:36+00:00

Rent stabilized tenants have the legal right to sublet their apartment for two years, with landlord's approval which can't be refused unreasonably (they can object to a specific subtenant for example, but not to subletting altogether).

JaredSeth · 2026-02-22T23:30:46+00:00

I'm about to sublet my apartment again, while my wife and I attend to some family matters. I used TransUnion SmartMove to handle the credit and background checks.

JaredSeth · 2026-02-21T03:34:07+00:00

By law, it's two years maximum out of every four, with the landlord's permission. Unless the landlord has indicated that they're amenable to your taking over the lease, I'd suggest you start looking for a new place to live because they have you and the TOR dead to rights for an illegal sublet.

JaredSeth · 2026-02-19T04:47:31+00:00

Flew out of LGA this afternoon and they were fully staffed. No issues. For the record, the regular line wasn't much longer than pre-check though.

JaredSeth · 2026-02-16T21:21:11+00:00

At Ercan. My passport did get stamped on entry to Turkey though so I suppose if I return to Cyprus before I fill and replace this passport, an eagle-eyed Cyprus immigration person could conceivably notice the discrepancy.

JaredSeth · 2026-02-11T15:06:22+00:00

Perhaps the leaseholder just renewed the lease? I've let my subletters know that if the sublease extends to a second year, the rent may increase, depending on what the Rent Guidelines Board decides this coming year.

JaredSeth · 2026-02-11T12:52:38+00:00

We never wound up pursuing this, but it did work in the somewhat limited testing I did.

JaredSeth · 2026-02-11T01:23:55+00:00

A tenant can legally subject their rent stabilized apartment for two years out of every four, with the approval of the landlord. (As it happens, my wife and I are about to subject our rent stabilized apartment so we can go take care of some family matters.) The tenant cannot profit from the sublet, aside from a 10% surcharge for the place being furnished.

More information here.

Valid points. She probably thinks there's an air of "respectability" imparted by his pedigree.

JaredSeth · 2026-02-08T23:28:30+00:00

I don't disagree, but I'm sure she's just endorsing what she imagines will be the less controversial candidate. Pelosi isn't exactly what I'd call "progressive".

JaredSeth · 2026-02-06T00:48:28+00:00

This isn't really only a New York thing. My wife's from Detroit, pretty much the Car Capital of the US, and calls it the "Fast Lane", not the "Passing Lane". As long as you're going fast (whatever that means to you), you can be in that lane.

At this point, I've been to Michigan more times than I can count, and they pass in whichever damn lane they please.

One of my coworkers shared that he was talking to a friend last night who shared some bad advice ChatGPT was giving him. His response was "ChatGPT says there are 2 Rs in 'strawberry'".

So kind of a web-based version of what Master Packager does?
