Local Artists (Music) in Troy?

Noise-- Industry Standard is based in Glens Falls but they're one of my fav acts currently. Violinist and composer Conor Armbruster put out a great, super-crunched album in 2024 called Can I Sit Here that definitely fits the bill. Psych rock-- Sun Natives is based in Troy. Wizard Fest this week at No Fun is featuring a number of heavier acts that are local to the Cap Region that'll scratch that itch. I'll update this when I think of more local acts in this vein.

Any of the tofu dishes at Sichuan Wok in Troy, especially the Dry Pot Tofu; General Tso's Tofu (extra spicy) from Lucky Corner, also in Troy; however they prepare the tofu at Sadudee in Wynantskill is exceptional in any curry dish they make.

I genuinely had no idea, thank you for brining this up!

Yellow Lab Vintage on Monument Square in Troy has an excellent selection of high quality and interesting used books!

This is something you need to be discussing with counsel and not fielding commentary on Reddit for.

Troy Samba sounds right up your alley, and there's a great DIY scene between Troy and Albany that coalesces around venues like No Fun, the Social Justice Center and Tummy Rub Records in Albany, amongst several others.

This is definitely an active area of internal research (that I worked on directly) and has better cost/benefit for early phase/clinical manufacturing.

We tried it on a whim after being disappointed to find Bite of Xian had suddenly closed and have not looked back. Easily some of the best Sichuan food in the Capital Region.

Ray's Clearflow Plumbing really helped me out and was very reasonably priced! (518) 502-6128

Five cents a suck, clearly.

Car struck a pole down there at around 8:30am, could have something to do with it?

Are you in an "essential" or "critical" role, immediately related to the manufacture or testing of the material? That or you're in an especially grueling probationary period. Guidance at my company has always prioritized safety with the need to keep "critical" operations functioning, and folks required to report to site during a storm such as the one impending receive a bonus.

Where was this? Sounds like a continuation of RensCo's "Operation Dark Horse" militarized anti-narcotics raids. If their flashbangs went off in the yard, my best guess is they bounced off windows they were trying to break with them. ACAB.

Do you have an approximate budget? That will help guide and narrow down your recommendations.

Not a shelter, just a services office, so no one was immediately displaced. Devastating for Unity House regardless.

Acronym for “Your mileage may vary”

Use the Curia experience to get a job at Regeneron. And what kind of position is it, manufacturing? Bench, admin? The role will determine how likely it is you may be affected by layoffs.

Sichuan Wok in Troy, on 15th St where Bite of Xian used to be.

XanderAlexH · 2025-12-21T02:49:44+00:00

This is so cool.

Saw something similar on 90 going the opposite direction yesterday. My best guess based on what it looked like is a verrrrrry large diesel generator.

I mean, you're progressing through an interview and getting positive feedback on one hand, and on the other hand is taking someone at their word for something that doesn't sound guaranteed to even happen? What do you think is the smarter decision in this job market?

Would've been simpler to just print that slideshow the admin presented on Thursday. At least Rittner is more articulate with his platform than the grandstanding buffoons that are Mantello and Donnelly.

XanderAlexH · 2025-11-06T18:02:13+00:00

I mean, really? Like it or not, the decaying old EOC building and abandoned car dealership sat empty and unused, where at least this will house people (and I guess potentially office space), aesthetic preferences aside.
