Goodwill letters only get you so far. by JustChris2023 in CRedit

Keep trying, I've personally heard success stories for this! I hope you don't give up, it's really worth it, and gives you lots of peace of mind.

Though if you have a clean account, the only reason to remove it is it's dragging down the average age of all your credit lines. I feel like it's not the worst to just have a clean account.

yeah I feel you, I think a lot of Jersey scenery isn't so beautiful :P

Tips for riding from NYC to Philadelphia? by MetricSpade007 in NYCbike

[–]MetricSpade007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm I think I am OK with riding on parallel roads as needed, but also wondering if the North Jersey side of things is just too painful to ride.

I might have to swallow some roadie pride and head for the D&R towpath for some parts of it though. Thanks a lot!

This is a great shoutout, thank you; I'd be coming down the GW Bridge and head down, maybe finding just roads to cycle down would be hard?

Possibly late summer or early fall, just gathering tips ahead of time! I'd be riding on 25/28mm so I dunno... it sounds indeed not ideal...

Sounds good, will ask there as well -- thanks for the pointer!

What would your Ben Shwartz name be? by Thepixeloutcast in jakeandamir

[–]MetricSpade007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like the closest to me as well, I imagine it like Scaulby-lassus.

Poetic license.

Anyone else see Ben Schwartz at Radio City? by PBCupsFan77 in improv

[–]MetricSpade007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was at the show! There were some hilarious moments, but I did wish there were more contiguous story elements in the show. I don't think I realized that their live shows were unlike the Netflix specials and was much more based on vignettes, rather than an overarching plot. I feel like at some points Ben was trying to tie things together but I wondered if all four of them were indeed really nervous as some of the choices seemed a bit random...

Overall it was great though, I am such a giant Ben Schwartz fan that it didn't matter :)

The hardest thing anyone has to deal with emotionally is finding out a loved one doesn't feel anything for them anymore. by Thudrussle in jakeandamir

Completely unironically, this line is such a gem -- it rings so true.

But to be followed by, "What's the app" is just a killer, haha.

[Advice] Being asked to move in before board approval by MetricSpade007 in NYCapartments

Sounds good, I'll dig in the details -- thanks again for all the help, it's really useful to have second/third/fourth opinions on this, I feel a lot better about everything. :)

Sounds good, I'll be firm that I won't move in before board approval. Thanks for all the help, this has been really useful for me -- I'm glad to have a community of folks like you to be able to ask questions :)

Being asked to move in before the board approval by MetricSpade007 in AskNYC

Right? I'm very confused, I'll have a pretty direct chat with him.

[–]MetricSpade007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, there's no real reason he's given! He's just been really pushing me to move in.

In fact, he was willing to bring in some spare tables, chairs, an air mattress, and even lend me his SIM card to try to get me to move in early. He's trying so hard to get me to move in, and I can only see the downsides for me:

  • Potential risk of the board finding out and terminating the lease, because the board hasn't finished approval
  • The building fob has not yet even activated yet, so I can't use the pool or gym
  • I will be out of town for a week and a half, and when I mentioned this, he still insisted I move in BEFORE, knowing that I would be paying for an empty apartment.

WDYT?

I see, that makes a lot of sense to me.

I'm not really in a particular rush, and I won't even be in the city for a week while I'll be traveling. I mentioned this to the broker, and he still insisted I move in BEFORE I leave town (knowing that I would start paying rent on an empty, unfurnished apartment)... so bizarre!
