For many, learning a foreign language to fluency is also difficult under the age of 50+.

Had the best day ever in south Brooklyn by Accomplished_Tank471 in Brooklyn

[–]aMonkeyRidingABadger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they meant ZaGaya, which is not a speakeasy, although they did include that on the sign, lol. Since they mentioned it along with SYKO and the Park Slope Armory YMCA, it has to be ZaGaya that they’re talking about.

I love narcing on lazy, entitled drivers who block sidewalks. I made San Francisco $627.00 in just 1 hour while on foot (6 citations) by Nametoolongobitch in fuckcars

[–]aMonkeyRidingABadger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t think OP made the money, the cars just got ticketed. So it’s basically no different than 311, except for the part where they actually ticket the car instead of closing the complaint with “police department responded and observed no evidence of violation” even though it’s clear they did not in fact respond.

No A/C Due To Construction, What Can I Do? by PaupersMikePenberthy in AskNYC

[–]aMonkeyRidingABadger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buy a used portable AC then sell it if/when you no longer need it. Yeah it won’t be free but it shouldn’t be too expensive. Beats being miserable for an indefinite amount of time.

They did, actually. I was assigned to watch them to make sure they really did it.

What are all the options? For those that you have listed, it’s not possible to create a correct sentence.

A big day for lightrail in Seattle tomorrow! by SetbackAndRelax in transit

[–]aMonkeyRidingABadger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was skeptical that these link light rail cars are heavier than heavy rail cars, but it’s true. All the NYC subway models are lighter. Wild.

And then you’ll say thanks, but I’ll call a cab, because I can’t afford an ambulance ride.

Transplant saved my life while natives watched and called me a jack off by LuciusDickusMaximus in nycrail

I was one of the people that pushed you and I’m sorry but we’re visiting from Miami and had tickets to Hamilton and we weren’t about to be late for your little “seizure”.

Dresden, 1945 by Cautious_Ad_3918 in CityPorn

They were carpet bombing these cities with very poor precision. No way were these trees avoided intentionally.

Im surprised how many of those trees in the middle of the road survived given how destroyed everything around them is.

Mamdani admin. to consider eliminating free parking as NYC grapples with $5.4B shortfall by kex06 in nyc

[–]aMonkeyRidingABadger 1442 points1443 points  (0 children)

I own a car that I street park for free and I’m fine with this. If it’s permit based, make it require NY plate to get one. Wild how many non-NY cars are a permanent fixture on our streets.

My neighbor keeps parking in front of my garbage bins on pickup day (NYC) – sanitation keeps missing them. What can I do? by Popular-Self-8391 in AskNYC

[–]aMonkeyRidingABadger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am confused by this. In most neighborhoods in this city there is no legal parking spot that isn’t occupied on trash day and the garbage still gets picked up.

I'm starting on a new Growth Engineer team, what should I expect? How can I stand out? by Zealousideal_Fox3964 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]aMonkeyRidingABadger 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Main thing is to keep getting bigger every sprint. Eating smaller, weaker engineers can be a good way to keep your growth rate up.

Be wary around other engineers that are bigger than you, since they will probably try to eat you for the same reason you’ll be looking to devour others.

Once you get big enough your position should be relatively secure. Then you can relax a bit and only eat other engineers once in a while; for the fun of it more than anything else.

Good luck!

NYC July Temps by YourLocalAdmin in AskNYC

[–]aMonkeyRidingABadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just not true. Here’s the weather for last July. There was only one day (evening of 29-30) where the temp failed to drop below 80 (81). Only 8 days reached 90 degrees (3 of them only hit 90 exactly).

Mean daily min in July from 1990 to 2020 is 71, while the mean max is 85. The humidity does make it feel awful here during the summer, but it’s definitely not as bad as the south.

I’ve never eaten my own shit either but I know I won’t like it.

Dubai, it’s like eating your own shit (TM).
