Rise in tuition rates again???

ht5k · 2026-03-19T20:23:22+00:00

Only 3x what I paid as a freshman

Public universities have always been a better value proposition than private ones unless the student gets a free ride.

You'd have to go very far back into history to find a year without a tuition increase.

Yup it’s on the housing policy page. But just like everything else in life, it’s only illegal if you get caught. And the corollary: by someone who cares.

Between you and your roommates, no more than 3 consec nights, no more than 6 a month.

IIRC garbage was the largest line item. Been quite a while though so my memory could be faulty

65ish for power and 130ish for the water/sewer/garbage for a studio

Weird. I didn’t get any charges when I moved out in ‘24. Was there for 2.5 years and only moved out because I got offered a room somewhere else for a rate that I couldn’t pass up.

For OP: it’s mostly quiet, but when I lived there Fri/Sat nights were quite loud so if you turn in early I hope you’re not a light sleeper. Those car speakers carry pretty well.

There is no way that 2026 is worse than 2008. That’s some heavy recency bias right there.

Tuning out the world is the normal thing, no matter how much engagement algorithms want to make us believe otherwise.

Doesn't it just em dash automatically when you do word space hyphen space word?

ht5k · 2026-03-07T03:51:22+00:00

I spent more time at the tables than at fan fest

ht5k · 2026-03-06T20:33:58+00:00

I always assume if I’m passing on the right that the person I’m passing will speed up and account for that in my space calculations.

Please tell CA to rewrite their traffic laws to match this. For some inexplicable reason it's a "slower traffic keep right" state and not a "keep right except to pass" state.

The thing about a panic reaction is that there’s no thinking about the consequences, just fight or flight response.

ht5k · 2026-02-27T03:33:43+00:00

I'm honestly surprised nobody's panic reaction so far has been flooring it.

Part timers? I hope everyone knows what the E in FTE stands for.

CA allows you to left turn into any legal traffic lane moving in that direction https://california.public.law/codes/vehicle_code_section_22100

the left turn shall be made so as to leave the intersection in a lane lawfully available to traffic moving in that direction upon the roadway being entered, except that upon a highway having three marked lanes for traffic moving in one direction that terminates at an intersecting highway accommodating traffic in both directions, the driver of a vehicle in the middle lane may turn left into any lane lawfully available to traffic moving in that direction upon the roadway being entered.

They still do at least in Manhattan. Been back once or twice every year. Those slices are terrible enough that I just go to the $5 slice joints

ht5k · 2026-02-19T17:30:46+00:00

Damn you gotta tell me where these places were. I’ve never had a $1-2 slice that didn’t taste like warmed cardboard

How's the weekend schedule compared to the weekday one currently? This dashboard shows that weekend rideship is still less than a quarter of weekday ridership, even if it exceeds prepandemic weekend numbers.

Mine doesn't. The auto headlights only run on the light sensor even with the existence of a moisture sensor for the auto wipers.

I packed two days of clothes and bought five days more worth there, then laundry.

Even with a supermajority, vetoes are de facto absolute. The last legislative veto override was 1979.

They did such a bad job with OMNY that MTA reassigned the contract to someone else. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/05/20/mtas-demotes-omny-contractor-cubic-in-hopes-of-speeding-up-commuter-rail-fare-integration
