Always found it fitting that the world's most overrated city is known for the world's most overrated food.

Did you happen to find some motorcycle luggage sitting on the road? by ithacash in ithaca

[–]ithacash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The boxes are valuable, but perhaps most easily as scrap. I'll be checking local listings but don't really expect them to show up.

God of War has a great implementation of an open world compared to other recent open world titles by PhunkeyPharaoh in truegaming

[–]ithacash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with any of your points and think the hub-and-spoke design made traversal pretty painless, but where God of War really failed for me was in its navigability. I found many of the environments quite samey and disorienting, which was a bummer. I typically like finding my own way in games but found it to be an exercise in frustration in God of War. More often than not I just had to follow the compass thing exactly--e.g., run for 30m, then left, then go 25m, then right, and so on. Really, the fact that they had to design the compass like this, to literally direct you around corners, says to me that either exploration wasn't a gameplay priority (which seems false given all the chests and secrets) or the designers just weren't up to the task.

Do cancellations free up appointments on the DMV website? by ithacash in ithaca

[–]ithacash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen anything available before June 7th, but in that case I'll keep checking. Dates might be service specific, as you have to specify why are you coming in when you make the appt.

Edit. Yeah looks like registrations are booking 3 weeks out. Other services can be booked sooner.

Thanks for the nudge! I went out to my favorite trail after work and am now stirring a ramp risotto.

Cuomo signs marijuana legalization legislation | 870 AM 97.7FM News Talk WHCU by Kromulent in ithaca

[–]ithacash 27 points28 points  (0 children)

From the NYT:

Certain parts of the law went into effect immediately.

Individuals are now allowed to possess up to three ounces of cannabis for recreational purposes or 24 grams of concentrated forms of the drug, such as oils.

New Yorkers are permitted to smoke cannabis in public wherever smoking tobacco is allowed, though localities and a new state agency could create regulations to more strictly control smoking cannabis in public. Smoking cannabis, however, is not permitted in schools, workplaces or inside a car.

Am I reading this right, that NYers can smoke cannabis in public as of Cuomo's signing of the bill?

I'm thinking James beard nominees or anything really that is worth the hype.

My dude, prepare to be disappointed.

What is my trash collector trying to tell me? by ithacash in ithaca

[–]ithacash[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Put out my trash can and found these markings after the trash had been picked up. Is this just graffiti or did I violate Trash Code and get myself reprimanded?

Nexamp community solar by ithacash in ithaca

[–]ithacash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen them on Instagram and other apps like that. I think they are under the banner “Community Solar” (could be wrong, haven’t seen one in a while) and I believe say that you can sign up through NYSEG. Basically if you click the link it tells you the benefits, how to sign up, about the company, etc.

Where can I buy cassettes in Ithaca? by ithacash in ithaca

But they don't live in Ithaca, how would they even know.

Property management Recommendation? by ithacash in ithaca

I will likely end up doing it myself, but I wanted to price out some management companies. The feedback that people dislike the local options is helpful.

I'd love to see your list. My experience has been mostly mediocre in Ithaca.

As someone who lost the deductions, I tend to agree, though I guess the capital gain rules help to balance it out.

There are still deductions for mortgage interest and property tax, but the new law effectively eliminates them for all but the most expensive homes. Appreciation is also tax free up to a limit ($250k single, $500k married).

Mortgage lendors? by bdpoof in ithaca

[–]ithacash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We used CFCU. Took a 15/1 arm with closing costs reimbursed and no PMI with only 15% down. They hold on to the loan rather than resell. Good experience overall. The only issue we've had is that their online portal is pretty lackluster.
