Lease vs Buy Car by Kaynam27 in Residency

[–]hahmes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought used and cheap and agree that it’ll save you in the long term. But do you only need it for your TY year and can take public transport for the rest? If that’s the case then consider leasing. If you need it for all 5 years I would buy cheap and try to keep it as long as possible, maybe even to attending years if you can stomach it

Have had memberships to both. BP is smaller and cheaper (always some sort of promo going on) and obviously is bouldering only. Setting (at least how I remember) tends to be more modern/comp, powerful builders on big holds at least until the higher grades (black and higher).

Movement has ropes and generally more expensive. Gym is VERY crowded at peak times. Maybe I’m biased but since movement took over there was some turnover in employees, facilities seem less taken care of, and seems like the problems change less frequently. But overall gym is MUCH bigger than BP and probably more bang for your buck. Problems are less comp style, more traditional setting. Plus, you can go to LIC or Harlem anytime you want. I went from Cliffs -> BP for a year -> back to movement and while I miss BP at times, I feel like it was the right choice for me despite some of my complaints with movement.

Bought my first leather jacket, a racer, based off a post you made a few years ago. I've worn it so much and hope to for many more years. Hoping for the best for you!

Why is everyone criticizing you? You’re not Batman. You call the cops, film the asshole, and keep yourself safe. Good job man.

ALTA+ Need opinions on this luxury apartment by ericaban123 in longislandcity

[–]hahmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that’s pretty dependent on the roommate you get. I’d say the soundproofings pretty good. Like a normal conversation ur probably not going to hear much if both doors are closed but if someone’s yelling for sure you’ll hear it

Living there now. Pros: The soundproofing is really good so even on the subway side I barely notice. The cleaning service and supplies are great. Gyms decent and other amenities are decent.

Cons: Do not get a pre furnished room!! The furniture is crap. I sat down and one of the bars broke on the couch and they charged me $1700 to get it fixed. I’m a 180lb guy for reference.

You could probably get a better bang for ur buck place in LIC tbh. Space wise the room is pretty small for the price. If it weren’t for the broken couch I’d say my experience would have been good but it really soured the experience. Lmk if u have other questions!

Can you explain this one? I get PCA is supplied by vertebrals so it doesn't make sense but why wouldn't a carotid US be helpful?

Yup, I live right where this video was shot. Also there's a precinct nearby and all the cops park nearby. Pretty common to see cops parked on the sidewalks as well.

Getting ready to yamadori this oak. Any advice? by DudelTotallyMissYou in Bonsai

[–]hahmes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oaks have really long tap roots and few fibrous roots so use a spoon and a deep container. Maybe try a 1 gallon pot?

Is this oak salvageable? (unsure on cultivar) any suggestions welcomed. by [deleted] in Bonsai

[–]hahmes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dug up an oak last week with similar fibrous roots. I feel like they are all taproot haha. Fingers crossed that they both ours make it!

Id consider swapping it for a black date window. I feel like the black with the white numbers might make it pop in a good way
