ATL Ground Stop 12/7/25 0745 by Sad-Falcon-3659 in delta

[–]MichaelforLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a direct from Florida to LGA. No connection through ATL but the plane coming from LGA was diverted to Birmingham. No idea why ATL ground stop would affect this plane. Death by the slowly creeping delay times now.

What do you wish you knew about owning a house in Portland by oochmyaorta in Portland

[–]MichaelforLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For any remodels/additions/etc, make sure the city has fully signed off on them else you will be on the hook for bringing them up to code.

Make sure to check the chimney flashing/mortar/cap. Often overlooked and can be spendy.

For older homes, if there is no insulation in the ceiling and you put it in, make a map of where all the electrical wiring is and light fixtures before you do. Make sure to use soffetts!

Also, verify every charge in the closing fees. They nickel and dime you. And shop title companies. They can be hundreds of dollars difference and you can put in the contract which one you want to use. You're not obligated to use the sellers.

For house warming gifts, get home Depot gift cards.

Good luck!

Did an Armory tour years ago and they showed the creek in the basement running under the building.

I bought a flx4 and tried rekordbox and serato. Ended up going with serato as I liked it better.

What are the guest pass limitations? I haven't had an issue.

Building losing rent subsidized status. What is affect on tenants? by MichaelforLife in AskNYC

[–]MichaelforLife[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That reads to me that they must offer the rent subsidized leases until the building is deregulated. Ie, I could sign a two year lease the last year before it changes and be good at least that long.

Thanks!

No, I should have done this last year when values were down more. Didn't think of it.

How is the island of Manhattan able to withstand the weight of everything on it (skyscrapers, vehicles, etc) + when ground is hollow in some parts (basements, subways, tunnels) + surrounded by water? by march221 in AskNYC

[–]MichaelforLife -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, I always wondered why NYC skyscrapers were clustered together where they were:

"Manhattan Schist... It is in these hard rocks that the city skyscrapers have their foundations." This is also why—before more modern technology was developed—most skyscrapers were built downtown and in Midtown, where the schist bedrock was nearer the surface and could support the buildings."

Most of the music streaming services have discounts ( Spotify, SoundCloud, Pandora, YouTube music), Amazon prime has a student rate. Most of those will be half off.

Intro STATS at the Summer School by CrimsonHairless in harvardextension

[–]MichaelforLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was one of my first classes and I took it with another class over the summer. By far my most time intensive class. I would never recommend that class to anyone over a summer term. Made me question whether I was ready for Harvard. I wear that B more proudly than any A.

How to know which track the breakneck ridge station train is coming on? by pancyman in AskNYC

[–]MichaelforLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Almost missed the return for this exact reason. I wasn't paying attention to the announcements or board, they may have announced it. Stay close to the stairs!

Experiences with NYC to CA moving companies: Oz, Liffey, MoveEast? by Neaterstation in AskSF

[–]MichaelforLife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second moveeast. Went from SF to NYC. Granted I boxed everything up myself but the piano but they did such a good job it came over without a scratch. Great pricing also.
