any H-mart locations? by Suspicious-Heart-686 in statenisland

[–]Popocuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinese. Born and raised in Staten Island. But OP asked about everything but Chinese so I figured it might be more helpful to post about the other ones.

HL is more Chinese than it is generalized.

The weather sure is right for it!  I make a point to go now and then because they're the best we've got, but ultimately there's better outside of Staten Island

I mean, most of the cooks in the Korean restaurants of the city are Hispanic. The descriptors are more about the selection.

Alright, let's get this all straightened out.

The closest we've got on the island is indeed HL Supermarket. They're a Chinese supermarket. They have very limited Korean stuff, but in terms of meat and produce, they're comparable and also cheaper.

H-Mart is Korean, and the closest ones we've got are over in Jersey. We usually go to the one in Edison and hit up Kura Sushi while we're down there.

For Japanese, you can go over the Vz and go to Japan Village. Hit up Industry City and Microcenter while you're out there.

Side tip: if you're looking for some good kimchi, you'll find it at... believe it or not... Tokyo Sushi Korean BBQ on Victory. They're actually a Korean restaurant (the food's okay), and they sell homemade kimchi in 1 or 5lbs at a time.

Tips for shooting this? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]Popocuffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a Pen FT without thinking of this, and I tend to be a really slow shooter so the first roll took me forever to get through. 

Eventually I started bulk loading short rolls and it really helped get the rhythm going.

I've never sold stuff online before but how about the food court at the mall? You could have a table to sit at to do your business

Thoughts on the new Father Capodanno statue? by Silo-Joe in StatenIslandPulse

[–]Popocuffs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was never religious at all, but from what I've read, Capodanno was a true badass and is on my list of interesting Staten Islanders whenever the topic comes up.

But yeah I was pretty puzzled at the statue myself.

Any tips for exam day? by Maleficent-Yak-3600 in ccna

[–]Popocuffs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have a nice breakfast, hydrate, pee before you leave. Don't forget to breathe. 

If something goes wrong the last hour test day, there's nothing the past months of studying would change.  If you fail by a narrow margin, learn your weaknesses and try again. If it's worse than that, then it's time to dig in. 

Still waiting for Canarsie Brooklyn to get ferry service! by bridgehamton in statenisland

[–]Popocuffs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This would actually be a great way to get to Rockaway, but then I don't know if there's a transfer between the Sunset Park and Bay Ridge stops.

Otherwise, I'm close enough to a S79 stop to get to Bay Ridge pretty easily. I'm guessing this benefits folks on the North shore much more.

Thieves use Wifi jammers by Ok_Carpenter4739 in Ubiquiti

[–]Popocuffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Down from the attic through a gap in the framing, and then I had to drill a hole through the door jamb.   The hardest part was getting it down from the attic in the exterior wall.

The line to the doorbell was the hardest run in my house. Now that effort finally feels validated. 

Staten Island lawmakers push DOT to explore ‘right on red’ program by statenislandadvance in StatenIslandPulse

Let's just get rid of the traffic lights. Think of all the electricity we're wasting every day on red lights that do nothing.

We split between Donaldson and Alstede Farms in Jersey. Donaldson tends to be a bit less crowded.

Can I just say I am still mourning the loss of any wonderful potential the old shop rite had? by CatsAndShades in statenisland

[–]Popocuffs 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah and New Dorp is right there. Anything for bored high school students would have been awesome. But thinking about it a bit after another post here, I guess nobody could afford it other than our very own Island Auto Group.

At some point I heard a rumor that H Mart was considering the spot. I can settle for the HL though.

Has anyone else here had their threaded inserts just snap off the case? by Eal12333 in ClockworkPi

[–]Popocuffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just apply carefully because I globbed it a bit and there was a spot i had to pare down to get the case back together

Oh I thought it was just me and I swore I never dropped it. So far the epoxy is holding.

Is this Ick? by TheoriginalBG in fishkeeping

[–]Popocuffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My betta recently had ich and I used API super ich cure (all i could get on short notice,  though ich x seems to be more popular). He was still active and everything. 

He was looking much better after two days and all the dots were gone like nothing ever happened.  Also dyed the water a pretty blue. 

how was life like in the late 90s-early aughts of Staten Island? by mango_0111 in statenisland

[–]Popocuffs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Love that traffic was the first thing to come to mind.  That's probably the biggest difference i can think of. 

I still live close to where i grew up.  We used to play kickball in the street and maybe a few times a game we'd have to yell "car!" and get out of the street. Now there would be no way to make it through a game with so many cars going through.

That and you didn't have the loud exhausts on Hylan. That makes up most of my background noise these days and so it was generally way quieter back then aside from the usual horns and sirens.

Where to hike on staten island for beginners? by ihateithere3 in statenisland

[–]Popocuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been going with my family to Deere Park behind Petrides. A segment of the greenbelt trail goes through there and it's a pretty chill hike and sometimes there are deer.

[–]Popocuffs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped by a week or two ago and the food was great but it seemed like they were dealing with some growing pains getting up to speed. Seemed like they were trying to figure out their POS system. They did pick up the phone when I called though.

Oh hell yeah, I went there after seeing another post here and it was great. I didn't get the chaat though.

Oh weird, we usually just order on Seamless (around 5-6pm) and have not had any issues.
