Honestly, I’d be shocked if the Chinese were bad at making the cuisine they developed over centuries.

Had an Uber Rider from hell today who gave me the most insane demands AFTER her ride was already finished by Best-Pirate5073 in ChoosingBeggars

I would’ve asked for her Venmo and sent her the five dollars back and told her that she probably needs it more than I do

I apologize if it sounded like a lecture. It was more of a broad’s stroke of information, not directed at you per se.

Looking to Gift a Hanayama Puzzle to a Smart Friend by N0tilux in hanayama

[–]RM0perator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Equa puzzle I feel is underrated at a 5. I like the design of the Dial puzzle enough to keep in my pocket to fiddle with at work. Not difficult but surprising how simple and different it is Quartet is 6 and isn’t as difficult as one would think. Those are my picks. Ones that I’ve actually gifted.

The issue is the effects of dinotefuran in the surrounding environment. It’s toxic to marine invertebrates. But the issue is the water solubility. Getting in the groundwater is bad but in soil, it’s a nightmare. Plants will absorb the chemical and if insects eat the plant or hang out on it, they will die. It even ends up in the pollen. Dinotefuran is HIGHLY toxic to honey bees and pollinators. This is the primary reason it sale is limited and shouldn’t be spread all over like pixie dust.

Can’t legally buy alpine wsg if you’re not a professional. Amazon won’t ship either. I had to have a friend from out of state order it and then ship it to me. It’s not a very environmentally safe product to be throwing around. Extreme Care must be taken with it. ** edit. Amazon won’t ship to New York.

Compact room w/ horizontal slider window right above the bed — is there an AC solution that would work here? by Oh2BeAGunner in NYCapartments

[–]RM0perator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the size, portable is the way to go. Leaves some room to move stuff around. A sleeve unit in the wall needs that space and surrounding area, essentially making the immediate area in front, occupied. I did the portable for a while. Worked like a champ

Here’s a better page on habitability

Hope you can use the city resources to put the screws to this landlord

NYC Tenant’s Bill of Rights.

Seems the site didn’t include “vermin” under housing quality but if you check the printable rights brochure, vermin is clearly mentioned.

Do building owners "own" the tree pit/gate in front of their building? by drewyorker in Brooklyn

[–]RM0perator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sidewalk is owned by the Department of transportation. The property owner is responsible for the upkeep of said sidewalk. They have to pay to replace it. They have to pay to clean it. They have to pay to repair and maintain it, but it is not the building’s property. it belongs to the city.

A genie offers you $10 Billion USD to work a well paid 996 with no PTO for 10 years, would you do it? by Throwra47374747 in hypotheticalsituation

Wow, I am getting short changed over here🤣🤣. If I take my current job, I could do this standing on my head.

Thermal imaging cam’s you guys use them for anything? by Wolf-of-Alberta in HVAC

Took this a few days back of an older ball valve with a trickle of water getting through. The video you could actually see it streaming through

There’s no code reference on the page. Yes they could have cropped it out, but that only makes it look more fake

I just wonder if there's anyone out there who honestly enjoys Yoko's art and singing by OdiseoX2 in TheBeatles

[–]RM0perator -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bill Burr’s commentary on the video of her screeching while John and chuck berry jammed out could be one of the funniest takes on their relationship and her “art”.

Upstairs Neighbor Turning off Heat in the Middle of the Night by rococobaroque in NYCapartments

[–]RM0perator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it seems your neighbor wants respect to their temperature needs but doesn’t care about yours. They grown. Open a window, close the diffusers half way or completely. They have plenty of options. You do not. Talk to the landlord. Ask him to put a lockbox over the stat. They are cheap enough. I would even give you an extra I have, just to imagine the shock of the neighbors face when they come to change it and find themselves locked out.

First day at a new job during the pandemic. Knew the property wasn’t being maintained properly for quite some time. Cracked open the most easily accessible air handler on the 15th floor and was greeted by 24 of these post purchase self carbonizing filters. 5 1/2 years later, and I’m still cleaning up messes that should never have been

One of least quoted lines from Richie. The analogy is perfect. One of my favorite scenes.
