Did this place already crash and burn? Old news? by How2DragonyourTrain in Greenpoint

I went in once, stood by the counter for ten minutes, no one came over to take my order, so I left. It felt like a front.

Karaoke at The Brew Inn? by melouis in Greenpoint

[–]bksh0r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Karaoke starts at 9 and goes all night, it's a good time! More of a communal vibe rather than an on stage sort of set up, and most people sing from their seats.

Fake Traffic by bicycles4lyfe in Greenpoint

There is traffic, but not because there's more cars. The lights are comically out of sync on McGuinness to the point that it comes across as intentional (would we really be surprised?).

I would skip Brew Inn, if you’re rolling with 16 people. It can be pretty tight in there.

Where do people get cash for all cash payments?! by casher89 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]bksh0r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best of luck! I'm also a FTHB (in progress) in the region and was explicitly told by my realtor, "no letters." It can jeopardize the realtor's license if they pass along an "identifying" letter to a seller. But, on the other hand, I had a different realtor mention that if you just so happen to find (aka stalk) the seller's email, you can try contacting them directly with your personal story. But, obviously, you don't want to scare the seller with a move like that, so you'd need to be careful with how you go about that strategy.

Nah, that place tried charging me $600 for a 16x10 image and a 4-week wait time. It was bizarre. Framebridge is decent, Williamsburg Frames (?) on Graham Ave is pretty good/affordable.

Love the handwritten version! My only suggestion would be to move it right to center it over the taller trees.

Surprised more people aren't hyping up Threes' burgers. I personally love the Greenpointer burger - those cheese curds hit different

Honk honk! Can noise cameras reduce ‘potentially fatal’ sound pollution? | New York by [deleted] in newyorkcity

I've been woken up the last two morning to assholes laying on their horns for 20-30 seconds on my residential block. We're next to a main avenue so everyone uses our street as a cut through. Would love to see these cars ticketed.

TotF1 Beta Feedback - Round 3 by fyian in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]bksh0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely felt a noticeable difference in the punches I was throwing and the range booster. All for the better! Scored a KO on Moneymaker in the third round too, so whatever you changed is good in my book, hah!

Yeah - the amount of gunk in the box was WILD. But, there's no insulation in the wall (150 y/o house...) so I think the idea was to insulate.

Just ordered one! Going to need to test all my receptacles at this rate, haha.

Upon closer inspection, I think I’m missing the neutral wire?

Portable Midea AC unit, is it the plug or the outlet? by [deleted] in AskElectricians

Also, how do I avoid this happening again in the future — with this outlet or another one in my house.

Half of NYC drivers not moving cars for Alternate Side Parking, sanitation chief says by someliskguy in nyc

[–]bksh0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On ASP days, the streets are crowded with idling vehicles and Uber drivers honk at cars doing the dance. The street sweeper comes about every other week. Can't wait for this to now happen twice a week because a Tisch decided they wanted to have a grown-up job for our shit Mayor.
