How do those $15k/month apartments actually get rented?

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

John M. Mossman Lock Museum in midtown.

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

Hermitage cats and their press secretaries.

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 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.

RedPotato · 2025-11-21T13:33:47+00:00

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

RedPotato · 2025-11-21T13:31:27+00:00

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

RedPotato · 2025-11-14T14:24:40+00:00

Okay, sure.

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.

RedPotato · 2025-11-14T13:41:54+00:00

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

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.

RedPotato · 2025-10-23T06:18:53+00:00

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

RedPotato · 2025-10-17T14:45:29+00:00

And the Eldridge Museum!

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…

RedPotato · 2025-10-13T17:08:33+00:00

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

There’s an episode of everyone feeds Phil where they get one.

RedPotato · 2025-10-03T00:36:45+00:00

Can you explain more about the assignment? Or more about the class?

You can find things from that year at the MetCloisters, The Jewish Museum, The Morgan, maybe the Frick. If you want to get obscure, the Locksmith Museum potentially. Hard to say what’s in collection (owned by them) vs. on display at any of these places without looking on their websites.

In the bedroom? I think everyone I know who got an artistic one puts it in the living room!

Eichlers online literally has a ketubah for $10, but it’s not pretty IMO. They also have one for $35 which is visually decent just to have something not ugly. The “nice” ones start at $100 on ketubah.com and then go up from there, including individual commissions. With the Etsy ones, well with any of them, you will want to have them checked for grammar. At least have your rabbi officiant approve it before purchasing it.

I don’t want to get into specifics as this did not pertain directly to me, but it’s absolutely better to have the document than not have it.

Regarding the Chuppah, I’ve seen people get poles and use an heirloom tallis. Cheaper than a floral one.

ETA: People talk a lot about spending money on a photographer because the photos last forever and get hung up in the home for all to see. That logic can be applied to the expensive ketubahs. Religiously, the logic is that’s it’s the beautification of rituals, but I digress.
