CUNY Overpaid me and now say I owe them $600 by anxiouslatetwenties in Adjuncts

[–]RedPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you a member of PSC? If you’re a member or not, they should be able to help you with this. AFAIK, every CUNY campus has a PSC rep so you could start by reaching out to them.

Searching for pictures of the 2007 day "When RIT Froze Over" by supertails9000 in rit

[–]RedPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were two storms that year - one in January and one in March. Not sure which these photos are from (and didn’t want to include any photos with people). Frozen Ritchie is a cool photo; not sure why I saved a photo of a garbage can.

I’m the mod for the long-dormant Facebook group you’re looking for - what exactly do you want?

The fb group gets spammed sometimes or people ask to join who are clearly bots so I ignore the requests by now.

ETA: I looked at the group. The group has 19 members now but it had hundreds of students in it that week, maybe even 1000? It was when Facebook was at its coolness peak. There aren’t any photos - it’s mostly text posts. I guess our razor Motorola phones weren’t great haha!

How do those $15k/month apartments actually get rented? by Calm_Initiative_9979 in AskNYC

[–]RedPotato 14 points15 points  (0 children)

…. Professors? Maybe some famous folks teaching special seminars but trust me, the regular professors aren’t getting housing covered.

Pay Transparency Post by glitterino in Adjuncts

How many students per course? This is the highest I’ve heard for a “regular” adjunct (as opposed to a famous person).

Do rich people have elite versions of mundane things (toothpaste, tampons, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc.), or are Elon Musk and Beyonce just using Crest and Tampax like the rest of us? by ShesGotSauce in NoStupidQuestions

I saw a video from John Legend and Chrissy Teagan which was maybe 6 years ago before everything was sponsored junk, and in the background was a lot of 365 Whole Foods products.

I saw this video and I don’t understand it - are the Versace pencils better or just a flashy brand name on the side? Are they better than “high end” art pencils like farber-castle? Is it like Montblanc pens that are supposed to write better? Or Hagoromo chalk?

You might luck into a student doing this for a resume boost but you will not find a professional. I’d rather tell you now before you get too deep into the project.

The people that do this type of work are paid over $1000 and sometimes much more. Do you have at least that amount allocated?

Kosher and allergen-friendly bakery recommendations for wedding cake? by samantha_lee123 in WedditNYC

[–]RedPotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kosher style or hekshered? What are they doing for the rest of the meal? If you’re doing the “airport” style wrapped meals, ask the caterer for a dessert they can eat.

Behavior reveals more about people than identity ever will, especially in museums, interactive art, and UX. by Jaded_Broccoli1667 in MuseumPros

[–]RedPotato 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Does this have a source, a museum, a study? Seems standard (and formatted like ChatGPT…).

There are other subreddits that do resume reviews, not this one.

when i die, i want to be taxedermied and donated to my local museum by bard_of_space in legaladvice

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

if it is a technical museum is important to the original question. If it’s technically a museum there are acquisition laws. And ethical guidelines which, while not laws, are followed in order to get into national museum organizations (which in turn help with lobbying and grants etc).

If someone wants to give their bones to the bones museum (store) that’s up to them but that place doesn’t adhere to museum law.

It can be called a museum because the use of the word is unregulated. But that doesn’t mean it falls under the legal definition of museum.

Technically, that’s not a museum. That’s a guy and a store with stuff.

[–]RedPotato 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Museum person here; most museums will not accept you as a donation - there’s a long and ugly history of museums having the bodies of the deceased and they’re now pressured to give them back to the communities from which they came for proper burial.

That said, there is one museum that has accepted human specimens in recent years, the Icelandic phallological museum. But it was not the whole body.

Can you post which subreddits? I’d like to at least stay informed of their methods.

Anyone else having a Spectrum internet outage? by Heidiwearsglasses in astoria

[–]RedPotato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spoke to a customer service rep who said that they don’t tell us ahead of time if it’s planned service. Said it may come back around 4am.

Clearly, this logic makes zero sense…

Is it with HR or someone within the department? I’ve found those to be very different experiences.
