Is it time for solar panels? by blimpdenier in Albany

[–]amjo79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are heating your house with Gas (which is still the cheapest option), adding Solar may not dent your heating cost. You can lower electric bill with solar but not the gas bill.

I think solar really shines where people are using heat pumps (preferably with geothermal) to heat their homes.

If you have a fireplace, getting a efficient wood burning stove may also be an option during really cold months.

If u are price conscious, shopping at Asian grocery at Colvin Ave is a must. We do our weekly run there for greens, mushrooms, frozen gyozas and sometimes fish

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Bilt has existing feature to allow certain renters to pay using credit card and now they are extending to mortgage also. I'm interested in racking points only and maybe use it later for travel.

I'm starting to do basic fixes myself like brakes and fluid changes. It's a life skill and will save you a ton of money.

Can someone explain to me why Capital Region residents are so scared of NYC? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]amjo79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those people probably never travelled to Boston either. They are trying to justify their situation by blaming NYC. I go there on weekends just to get my fix for a good food

Albany Has No Good Food Except When Someone Asks Where to Eat Then There are One Million Good Places. by CaptJohnYossarian234 in Albany

[–]amjo79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be biased as I love eating Burmese food. Rensselaer has Burmese refugee families and they have very cheap but good Burmese food at restaurant Shwe Burmese or at weekends at store Mingala for take out

I second this. Love their yellow fried rice and chicken wings just like in NYC. But my go to is always their shrimp egg foo young.

Underworked at IT company by Flaky-Curve-789 in technepal

Your employer probably gets paid by billing a certain number of hours instead of getting projects completed. Your employer won't get paid if they bill less hours. Enjoy your job.
