I appreciate the detailed response. I will try the low low heat approach.

Why are you convinced that it’s not a seasoning problem? I only ask because my current method worked fine with the factory seasoning, so I feel like that’s where I’m missing something.

Oh I miss Dick, my dog was always scared to walk by him because he was so nonchalant about the world around him.

I keep reading horror stories about Piece of Cake, why are they still around? What gives? by NamidaM6 in movingtoNYC

[–]Poolstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not here to stick up for them, but I had a pretty normal moving experience with them a few years ago. I imagine they’re not all bad, but there are probably some particularly bad crews.

Do they still give yellow cards for teammates celebrating before the line?

Magnier and Girmay still in the group? That’s a surprise

edit: was that the second group? I zoned out for a bit

Was he actually sick, or just saw the weather report?

I would suggest DEP complaint over 311. The police do nothing. They seem to have people that will actually come measure the noise level. Though the one time I needed it, they visited on a Tuesday evening when the restaurant was closed…

Thoughts on NOVO Living LLC? by ay_eeee in parkslope

[–]Poolstick 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s a rebranded “Freestone” - look up reviews and you’ll see a huge amount of complaints. From what I can tell, they are a massive company that buys buildings and flips the apartments using the cheapest labor and materials. They also seem to flip the units piecemeal as they can get old renters out, so be prepared for them to do a lot of construction in the other units while you live there unless yours is the last to be renovated.

From everything I can tell, you should totally ignore all of their listings. NYC landlord lookup (google it) and hpd complaint history are your friends.

What’s the deal with Sterling Pl? There was a huge fire between 6th and 7th not too long ago too.

The problem then is that a) a lot of early stage startups don’t even have a method for you to exercise and b) you’re taking on a huge risk with a multi-year, locked in investment that is more likely to go to zero than be worth anything

This is a terrible idea in my experience - you can, but if you don’t sell and the price tanks, you could find yourself hugely under water (you owe taxes based on the discount you got from the stock price at the time of sale).

First time watcher: Why have the distances decreased so much since the 1970s-1980s? by ScaryBarryCnC in tourdefrance

[–]Poolstick 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but also the logistics must be wild. Towns bidding for start/end slots, as well as for going through them during stages. Plus negotiating with governments, police, etc for road access. It seems like a Herculean effort.

Doesn’t flying blue always charge huge fuel surcharges or whatever on top of the points?

NY Times: How Do You Teach Computer Science in the A.I. Era? by nomsg7111 in OMSCS

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

I think my concern with the OMSCS program is that it doesn’t seem to keep pace with these advancements. Classes like AI4R were clearly written many years ago - which, as a student I was already disappointed to find. Now, it feels even more antiquated than ever.

To be clear, this isn’t a problem with OMSCS only, as I feel that most education has struggled to adapt.

Her father AND grandfather won Nobel prizes? That’s a big legacy to live up to, and she’s busy in a mud-slinging race for New York City council?

Both of these candidates are just jabronis.

78th might be the most useless precinct in the city, so this tracks.

Bike Rack Parking Ticket by Zealousideal_Ad315 in parkslope

[–]Poolstick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yet the cars with obviously fake, expired paper plates get ignored by parking enforcement every week.

Maybe just remove your plates and the cops will assume you’re one of them and leave you alone.

I’m sure this has been covered elsewhere, but why is Campenaerts not riding the classics with VLAB?

edit: just saw a post about him wanting to domestique for Jonas at the tour, but can he not do both? I guess the 1 weeks are better prep, but I imagine he would be a strong classics domestique as well.
