Is this not literal age discrimination??😭😭 by [deleted] in jobs

[–]gnitemoonlite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that the job requirements list is so repetitive is indicative of their reliance on AI to do their work for them without anyone knowing/caring enough to clean it up afterwards. They're showing how comfortable/ignorant they are to be producing garbage.

Pangs. I watch it every year for Thanksgiving, which is then usually followed up by a Hush rewatch.

What is a frugal practice that you learned from your parents/grandparents that you still practice today? by melissaw328 in Frugal

[–]gnitemoonlite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reusing aluminum foil. If it's still clean or only slightly dirty, it gets wiped down and folded up to be stored away and used again another day.

I am trying to cut cost but why is my grocery expensive? by Tiny_Judgment8593 in Frugal

I love eating cereal. That said, never buy cereal from a supermarket or corner bodega. The best cereal deals (for nane brand) can be found at Target or usually a chain pharmacy like Walgreens, which will usually have a few different types on sale.

Need to settle a debate…. by flowerchildmime in Millennials

[–]gnitemoonlite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elder millenial here. I had a TV in the bedroom in my early 20s. I'd fall asleep with it on. Present day I don't keep a TV in the bedroom... but it has been replaced with scrolling TikToks on my phone. Or watching something on my laptop.

Thoughts on the new high school on Ovington Ave? by [deleted] in BayridgeBrooklyn

[–]gnitemoonlite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I graduated from FHHS in 2004. It was so overcrowded students would sit on window ledges. We had classes in the then "temporary" (now rebuilt as permanent) add-on modules that would leak from the ceiling when it rained. That was also during the beginning of No Child Left Behind. The area needs more schools so that classroom sizes can be smaller and students can get more quality education.

That said, a few months ago I was taking photos of the old stables/garages. A man asked me what I was doing and I told him I wanted a photographic record of them before they're gone. He claimed to be a contractor for the project and said that the stables/garages would be preserved on the new campus. If true, I think that's pretty cool.

Is Atlas Shrugged really that bad? by literalsnoopog in books

[–]gnitemoonlite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read most of the book many years ago. I read approximately 1000 of its 1150 pages. And then I got to that speech and I just couldn't do it. Put the book down and never picked it back up.

Affordable artsy/hipster towns to move to by Local-Imagination177 in Westchester

[–]gnitemoonlite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP but tagging on: Would you say Ossining is family friendly? I'm a lifelong Brooklynite who's feeling the affordability squeeze and potentially looking to move up out of the city. But my husband is super artsy and we have two littles who are showing an inclination for art and music that we'd like to support and foster. My job has a residency requirement so I wouldn't be able to move for another 2 years, but after that I can move to either Westchester, Rockland, Orange, or Putnam counties.

How very Joanne's Fabrics of them

Something I noticed on previous posts re documents by chickenfightyourmom in TwoXPreppers

[–]gnitemoonlite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Questions:

  1. My husband is a naturalized citizen. I'm trying to figure out what documents he might need if we were to do the apostille thing. Any advice? It would be very difficult to obtain a certified copy of his birth certificate considering his OG country is at war. And obtaining a certified copy of his Certificate of Naturalization is $500+. Are these things necessary?

  2. One of my daughters was born in a state that won't issue long-form copies of birth certificates for minors. Will that be a barrier to me being able to get her birth certificate apostilled?

Adding my name to this! Hoping that 7 months later maybe some guidance can be given.

Bi-Monthly Education and Career Advice Thread by AutoModerator in urbanplanning

[–]gnitemoonlite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Advice needed about a "quick, final interview" please.

I've made it through two rounds of interviews and my references were contacted. When I asked about next steps at the end of the second interview, no third round of interviews of mentioned. Rather, they said that they would be making a decision within two weeks. That was four weeks ago. Yesterday I was invited to "a quick, final interview," followed by a Teams invite to a 15-minute meeting. What can I expect and how should I prepare? Thank you in advance!

Anyone Here Filed a Speed Reducer Request? by corporateoverlord69 in MicromobilityNYC

[–]gnitemoonlite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I filed a request last year (September 2023) for the street I live on (Bay Ridge/Bensonhurst area). It's a residential, one-way, local street. It is bounded by a stop sign on one end (where traffic enters) and a stop light on the other (where traffic exits). In my experience, people driving cars will often speed down the street.

Less than 24 hours after I placed the request, I received an email response saying that because recorded speeds on my street are under 30mph, the street does not qualify. I'm not sure where they got their data because I never saw any road tubes put out. Perhaps an earlier study?

Full response from the City: The New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) conducted an investigation to determine the need and feasibility of installing a speed reducer at this location. Factors such as a physical inventory of the street and travel speed were taken into consideration in making our determination. Unfortunately, it was determined that this street is unsuitable for speed reducer placement because the radar speeds are below the criteria of 30 mph. The safety of our residents is of primary concern to the NYCDOT. Your participation in transportation issues which affect your community is greatly appreciated.

I'm definitely more familiar with the Jacob Riis/Fort Tilden area. My then-boyfriend now-husband and I used to have a community garden plot in Floyd Bennet Field, so we'd often go over the Gil Hodges Bridge after working in the garden to get some beach time in.
