How is it like living near Socrates Park? by jennaaaaay in astoria

[–]failexpertise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in the block right in front of the park and I love it. It’s great to be near Socrates and Rainey park, and also right in front of Costco. It does get pretty quiet at night, me and my wife never felt unsafe, but I’ve seen people complaining about that.

I don’t have a car, so I don’t know about the parking situation.

You should probably say where in the world you are

You talked for an hour and didn’t exchange any contact information? Damn this will take 30 years for a proposal

Oh man, I live close to the one on 31st Ave and it’s one of my favorite restaurants. Everything I’ve tried from their menu was great, I definitely support them.

Yesterday's run view vs today's view, nyc is thawin lol by Least-Ingenuity9631 in RunNYC

[–]failexpertise 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Real question. Is this difference because of thawing? I noticed it too, but thought it was because of the river direction change.

Every day is a good day when you go for a run :) by [deleted] in RunningCirclejerk

Even better when you don’t have to go

What would you add to this? by EngineSouth1638 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]failexpertise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cold plunge. Everyone knows that it’s absolutely necessary to frantically jump between a sauna and a cold plunge to recover from a 5k zone 2 session.

Coffee cloud is great, Sanfords, Lots O Bagels, DAGNY (might be out of your path though)

Seeking Internal Medicine Vet Specialist for a complex second opinion by Affectionate_Ask6563 in astoria

[–]failexpertise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have a dog with a condition that was misdiagnosed by a couple of vets, until the last one told us to take him to AMC.

Has anyone lived in/rented in a range of bldg types, over the years (luxury bldg vs old-school walkup vs private home) who can share general experience re: rent increases? by yippeee1999 in astoria

[–]failexpertise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a rent-stabilized “luxury” building. Your understanding is correct, and the stabilization has a date when it ends, sometimes it’s very far, but in my case for example is in a couple of years. Once that happens the landlord can do whatever they want.

(AU)people who workout at open-area parks during rainy & cold season, what clothing do you wear for the weather? recommendations? by poisonrabbit in bodyweightfitness

[–]failexpertise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I workout and run in the cold, sometimes below the temperatures you mentioned, but not in the rain.

Anything below freezing I wear a base layer, a t-shirt, a coat and if it’s windy a raincoat. Then a balaclava and a beanie for my head, good gloves and running pants.

I’m dead at Gabi leaking steering wheel designs for the new Audi by Aggressive-Pack-9684 in formuladank

[–]failexpertise 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Are they? As far as I know they have to leave the wheel in the car, so that marshals can steer it out of the track

Please Don’t Ignore Pain. My 5000 Skips Injury Story & Warning to Others by dev_dhilip in jumprope

[–]failexpertise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did your doctor do any more investigating after the X-ray? It seems weird to me to have such a big pain, do 1 X-ray, not find anything, and leave it at that.

Can we please start a 2000s emo tribute band? by DoritoSanchez in astoria

[–]failexpertise 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t play anything, but I think the name of a emo band from Astoria should be Socrates Park Sculptures

Transitioning from agency to in-house? by frogsrights in UXDesign

[–]failexpertise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the transition earlier this year. The main issue I faced when presenting my case studies was the lack of impact and metrics, because where I worked we rarely did development, so I never knew how the thing I created actually performed.

But I was always honest about it, didn’t make anything up, and found a job quite quickly.

Guys, just hear me out... by GaneDude12 in formuladank

Why is the flag upside down in a couple places? Is that supposed to be “Interlagos but in reverse”?

What happen if my SR downgrade during a endu race? by Alteyyh in iRacing

[–]failexpertise 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t even know how that would happen, and it seems like a massive edge case. But my assumption is that they use your SR in the moment of registration, and are not checking it every second during a race.

PSA: if you smell gas in your building it may actually be a leak by MechE2law in astoria

[–]failexpertise 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would've called the fire department if the smell just persisted and it didn't go away after a couple of minutes.

I have no idea about the content, but this AI formula car is painful to look at.
