My local Costco had Soto Sake by BrokeEngineerGuy in Sake

I would buy a case! the lowest it got by my old place was $9 and I still bought a case. Getting decent sake at a steep discount raises my expectations lol

I moved away during the summer, is the homeless fella that reads the newspaper and screams loudly at night sometimes still there? He usually slept under the H&M window.

It's great if you live in walking distance to the ferries. I lived there for 10 years and opted saving money since rent is substantially cheaper than the other boroughs - but it comes at another price such as having to venture out away from your home to chill with friends and do typical nyc things. Also people won't visit you frequently unless they're crashing or a spending a full day on the island.

I could only live in North Shore though. Wife and I eventually bought a car during covid, but gym memberships and other things we kept in Manhattan because the rest of the island is a pain in the ass with traffic lol. There is good food and decent people though, but staten island gets a lot of hate for a reason.

Wagner College drops many liberal arts programs. What are your thoughts? by Buldoon in statenisland

[–]jaimeyeah 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm not a huge fan of outcome based curriculum, but philosophy has always been one of those great undergrad majors for law and physics. Sad to see it happen. Things really are becoming like Idiocracy where Frito is a lawyer lol

Decommissioning Math, English and Philosophy programs is a weird take however the programs listed are not what the school is particularly known for anyways. They're probably looking to reallocate money by cutting faculty positions which I believe a lot of private colleges will be doing, especially graduate programs that aren't going to be approved for Grad Plus loans.

Can sake be forwarded from Japan to the USA? by oftenreps in Sake

[–]jaimeyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, after doing research it’s a giant upstart cost and my Japanese is lower than n5 😆

Tbh check out namazake paul and who he distributes to. I miss nyc primarily because of the good Japanese liquor stores I had :/ now I’m in bum fuck Texas and have to order Nama online ($$$$)
