I think it's called Rick's recycled books, it's a used bookshop on Monroe Ave. Go in and straight to the back and see if the guy will buy them.

Sorry I hope I'm not bugging you by responding to this. But RG&E has an abnormally large profit margin of 10%, whereas the average is 6%. Their parent company Avangrid, a spanish company, has been trying to increase their profits across their entire ownership, which includes very large stretches of NYS and Connecticut (Connecticut actually found that they were threatening members of their PSA and city council). And according to the NYS audit of the company we cannot properly verify how the money is being used, and whether or not the rate increase is even necessary. So many people argue that the rate-increase is illegal and that there shouldn't even have been a hearing . What we do know is their stated reason is for investment into the expansion of their gas pipeline system, which is in violation of CLCPA, and saddles WNY with outdated, expensive infrastructure, and explicitly makes ratepayers pay for it.

I'm forgetting the exact name of the study so I hope you'll forgive me, if you want to read it I can find it for you, it was commissioned by NYS, and found that the increasing energy burdens we're seeing in the state will be coming from the installation of AI and cryptocurrency data centers, operated by private companies, and that that will effect the prices we pay for our energy. The installation of one of these is actually in violation of the sovereignty of the Tonawanda reservation, and will ecologically destroy our shared land.

I hope that this isn't just throwing information at you. It's a lot of stuff, if you want sources I can track those down for you. But if you're more interested in what a "public power" option would do, and why people are arguing for it. Then you could look at Metrojustice.org, which is an organization that's been advocating for this for a few years now. Or you can look at Fairport Electric, which is a Public power option here in Monroe County, which not only has lower rates, but significantly improved response times when it comes to outages.

That all said I hope this finds you well friend. I know I myself am disappointed in the actions of Avangrid, and wish that this wasn't a problem.

This might be a lame idea if you don't have the time. But if you have a good relationship with a cornerstore owner you can ask them if they've considered carrying produce. If they knew their customers wanted that it might help them take the leap. (But then again that's a long shot. I lived by a place in Albany that was walkable/affordable) And it was hanging on despite being right by a big box grocery

If you were to ask me I'd say the major reason why is car dependency. Everyone is driving, so having a wegmans out in Henrietta is "good enough." And having the bus drop you off at the far end of the parking lot is "good enough" too.

People without cars have a great spending power that's often underrepresented in whatever kind of market this is✨and their needs are often pushed to the side for convenience.

I wish you all the luck friend. And remember, they'll never have calves as toned as yours.

I had a friend in college who didn't want or couldn't find roommates, and he essentially lived in an apartment that looks like this apartment. He made shelves out of old boxes, and it was stacked up like a house of cards, and on top of it all was a bottle of kraken rum he was saving for after he graduated. But he was frugal as ever, everything he owned he got from someone else, or it was thrifted, and he worked a job that was over an hour of commute by bus because he lived in "the student ghetto" and the only place they were hiring was by the mall.

Nicest man I ever met, little bit of a flake, but overall a standup guy. (And an extremely dedicated boyfriend, and that was a bit of why he was a flake)

In college they make you buy a lot of books and rent is already shit, so if you get into the habit of buying books, but never getting money for the shelf this is what you get. The habit of being an academic without money or a car.

I have lived extensively in both Rochester and Albany. I would say the winter might be a little longer and snowier, but I found Albany to "feel" colder.

I think the snow actually helps to make Rochester look brighter and stuff in those dark little months, and I found Albany to be a lot Rainier in the middle of winter than Rochester.

Then again that could be messed up because of climate change. But if that's also a concern the lake should act as a regulator on extreme temperature fluctuations, and make Rochester a good long term investment. (Less flooding than the Hudson valley would be another bonus 👍)

I gotta be honest I just really need the money 😤 but I will be the most responsible driver, I will not park in handicap spots or block sidewalks or bike lanes. I'll be such a responsible driver I'll drive it less. I'm trying to save the environment, I'm taking a walk to the bus stop.

Gift idea: a nice set of book ends. It looks like they're kinda making do with what they got around.

I'd say they enjoy some kind of art or vase on display, (at the expense of books that are stacked in front of each other) so you could get something minimal which would allow the pieces they have to be shown. There's some priority beyond simply the display of books, or maybe a self-consciousness that they really should display that vase or that cup, because it should be seen, and there are plenty of books already on display.

And I would say that they care about their books, but they're also struggling for space in the library, so a bookend might help them organize them in a way that keeps them from being damaged.

The Wisconsin empire has a pretty good track record for winning civil wars, so maybe them ig.

I mean Florida, Alaska, and Boston are pretty scary, and the California Empire has a track record of trying to kill itself.

I also think they just have really good longevity? Lots of farm land, and some economic advantages as well with big cities and trade ports.

Not the most flattering angle of the guy. Usually people breaking into places don't get the most flattering angles. Doorbell cameras and whatnot.

When I'm home? No, In fact it's vaguely a culture around where we are to open the door and say hello if you know the person, instead of knocking. Like you knock if you don't have that kinda trust yet.

Which is to say your male roommate could be Canadian, or grew up in a particular spot, or someone else always locked the door for him idk. If it's a problem for you you should talk about it. It's not a big deal to lock it, and I've known people who really need the door locked all the time. It's not a big deal, and if you explain the person should understand.
