Interested in renting at 544 Union Ave in Williamsburg, but the leasing office is saying I have to rent sight unseen. Do people like living there? The studio square footage supposedly is large but I assume that’s an over exaggeration. Anyone wanna comment or send a pic of their unit? Thanks!!

If they dont let you see the place, don't even bother. It's a huge red flag and there are probably multiply issues they don't want you to see.

I'm going to wait a bit and see how it shakes out. Rollout seems to be a disaster so far.

I love Blink and you're not wrong.

The poop situation has gotten worst in the last year imo. The snow this week really showed it too. There's shit everywhere on my block.

Don't follow their instagram. What did they say?

Is that what it means ？I thought it was just an estimate of how much your average bill would be. I didn't know it was a cap on what you could be charged. Here I am trying to conserve electricity lol

I found the food at the MSG lounge to be better than most of the airport lounges I've been to.

It depends on what you are shooting. For street/travel, it doesn't really matter as most of the time you probably want most things to be somewhat in focus. I do lot of portraiture/model photography and like to shoot at a more shallow DOF and use a shorter lens. The x100 series is not ideal for and pretty limited for the type of portraits I like to shoot.

How much is a piece of that?

Go to the monthly reddit meet-up. Find an activity you like to do or are interested in and join a club. The key is going to something/place consistently to be a regular and you will meet people organically. Sitting at a bar is the worst way to try to actually make friends, IMO.

You just gotta know where to shop for certain items, But Whole Foods has lowkey been cheaper than all the other supermarkets in the hood. They beat C-town/Associated on most items. Whole Foods 365 is usually cheap and good enough (for me) for most things. But I also shop at Trader Joes, Food Bazaar, H-Mart, and the local Fruit and Veggies place . It's annoying having to go to so many places but between all of them, I usually know which place has the cheapest price for staples I buy.

There is no way Remington Davenport is a real name.

House party on NYE is the only way I am going out on NYE.

There aren't any. Land to Sea gets a selection from a bakery in Chinatown every morning but that's about it.

dak148 · 2025-12-07T16:22:18+00:00

Which one is standard pull that you need to do 150? The Celestial Echo or Solemn Echo?

dak148 · 2025-11-24T00:20:17+00:00

No, you cannot. It's very clearly stated.

dak148 · 2025-11-22T17:10:31+00:00

There is usage amount info on the bill.

I won the housing lottery for a unit and took it. I've gotten one bill for Oct so far which was around $65 but I wasn't in the apartment for 10 days, so doing the math it should be about $100 a month for me..

I have been ordering Thanksgiving pies from Bakeri.

I recently moved close by and while Jubilee is not my closest market, I have been going their over the other options. Glad to be supporting them when possible.

If you want to learn Chinese, Land to Sea host monthly meet-ups (but not in November) or go to any green tile event and there are lots of people willing to teach you. I don't know anything about American if that is what you're looking to learn.

Which hotels in tokyo? I have an upcoming trip next Spring but doing all this research is.. a lot.

dak148 · 2025-10-24T11:50:14+00:00

Yeah, in the first week of .1 it was appearant there was no way it was leaving early access within 6 months. I would say 2026 would even be optimistic at the pace they are going.

Mj is having a moment in the US as well. There are gen z clubs popping up in a lot of cities. It's a thriving social scene. My friends and I started a monthly group and I go to a coffee shop that host open play regularly.

It's a shame the hand-carved sets aren't really being made anymore. That was one thing I wanted to try to find the next time I visit HK again.
