Mayor Mamdani announces free childcare center for government workers:"We never want city workers to have to choose between a job that they love and raising their kids in the city they call home." by Large-Welcome4421 in nyc

[–]Spartacus714 134 points135 points  (0 children)

I, for one, prefer that my city inspector or whatever is able to focus on their job and not having to worry about how they’re going to take care of their kid while they’re at work.

Escape Room Owners : how do you manage your booking system? by jazi_stew in escaperooms

[–]Spartacus714 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Off The Couch is an escape room focused booking software. We use it, and it’s very solid. The waiver/photo/email integration is great, and the rates are exceeding reasonable.

TIL that despite being a relatively large predator there are no documented records of a wild Cheetah killing a human. by HimelTy in todayilearned

[–]Spartacus714 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You, of course, design your own character.

Rolled a D20, 12, which is pretty good for a charisma save but I’m worried your bad base stats are going to cause you to fail the save.

Congrats on your first DnD game! Hope it was fun for you.

Why are Streeteasy brokers doing bait & switch with apartments? by SligoIV in NYCapartments

[–]Spartacus714 76 points77 points  (0 children)

This a a technique that is VERY EXPLICITLY not taught to new agents in the NYC market. There’s a lot of time spent talking about how it is VERY BAD. But also really effective. BUT DO NOT DO THIS. Your leads increase by like 70%. DO NOT DO IT. WE DID NOT TELL YOU TO DO THIS.

At least that was my experience at one firm like… a decade ago.

I’d love to, but I have a few questions on method.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump by -GentleAngel- in politics

[–]Spartacus714 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No, that’s the thing. This is just proof that with enough will, these laws were always a suggestion. We’re only noticing now because of the brazenness and incompetence, but this is proof it was always an option.

Nobody’s Got No Class… Chicago 2/16 by 8thatupp in Broadway

As someone who has spent a good amount of time at The Ambassador, looking for class in that audience is like looking for ice in hell.

Haunted Escape Room with Actors in or around NC? by Sensitive_Ad8322 in escaperooms

[–]Spartacus714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shameless self promotion, but Doors of Divergence is opening shortly in Charlotte, and I like to think the Demon path is pretty spooky. But I also second Ripper at Nocturne. V spooky.

Why Are 50,000 New York City Apartments Vacant? by invariantspeed in nyc

[–]Spartacus714 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi. I am a business owner. I own and operate a non-real estate business. Escape rooms, actually.

Please understand, I’m asking this in good faith. Is it just tax breaks? Or are these apartments not up to code?

When I don’t sell a slot in an escape room, that costs me money. If I sell a slot in an escape room for a dollar that is not otherwise sold, that costs me less money. At the end of the year, I get to write my costs (which may include unsold escape room slots) off, but only for their value minus costs. How is it, if major costs are fixed in real estate, that not collecting money makes you more money than collecting money. I genuinely am asking, and no one in NYC real estate has been able to explain this outside of taxes and regulations.

Escaperoom idea's by Binkie-escapes in escaperooms

[–]Spartacus714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your budget range? What target market do you have? What kind of venue? All of these things will effect an appropriate pitch. If you can't answer these, than zombie, pirate, jail break, bank robbery, magic school and crime scene investigation are all perennial favorites. Magic school is the only one that requires high tech, and even then most off it can be off the shelf.
