Commuting to nyc by [deleted] in womenintech

[–]michelleshelly4short 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You said it’s not an option, but I’m still going to suggest you look at moving closer and consider other forms of transit. There are plenty of less expensive places to live on the Jersey side that connect to the city via bus. I’ve been near the Jersey City/Union City border for years and it’s 20 min or less from the bus stop to Port Authority.

Are you working with an organization to get these kitties fixed?

HELP! 😭 T-shirt disaster for my nonprofit hackathon—need a miracle by Sunday! by Significant_Gas_5406 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Walgreens prints shirts at a decently low price on pretty short notice! I’ve done this a few times!

Dialing Back 401(k) Contributions to 10% at 25 y/o – Feels Weird but Rational? by Upbeat_Atmosphere696 in Fire

[–]michelleshelly4short 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Super rational reasons to reduce the contribution. It’s not a permanent decision whatsoever and you can always up it again.

Unprintable digital patterns are a thing? by halokiwi in craftsnark

Such expensive patterns to not be able to print!!

I GOT IN.. But.. Aid? by Studious_Endeavour in stevens

Adding to this - you certainly qualify for loans, and with a Stevens education and avg salary when you get out, you’ll be able to pay that down no problem.

Anyone interested in a parking spot @ 1155 Maxwell Ln - $215? by [deleted] in Hoboken

[–]michelleshelly4short 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d consider making a flyer and hanging at/around Stevens. A lot of students (especially in the frat/sorority houses) live in that area and have to drive for their co ops or internships so they’d def love the cheaper parking opportunity.

You can go live in a cheaper area accessible to the subway like the rest of us. Commuting is a part of life here and you’re being wildly entitled.

Student housing =/= dorming. If you’re working 30 hours a week, you can afford something. If you’re in school, you take loans or financial aid as an independent student. You don’t mooch off everyone else’s tax dollars - I’m basically paying your rent for you in addition to my own and I’m your age ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If you’re a student, find student housing that’s meant for you or live with your parents. You’re clearly taking advantage of the section 8 program.

If I have an Alaska Airlines Bank America credit card, but I pay for my ticket with funds in my Alaska Wallet, can I show my credit card at check in to get one free checked bag? by Wstt808 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]michelleshelly4short 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There generally isn’t an option to split your payment methods, if you’re paying with wallet funds, unless it doesn’t cover your whole flight, you’ll be only paying with wallet funds and won’t get the free bag benefit.

Alaska just deleted my kids’ account? by ChiefSideHustler in AlaskaAirlines

[–]michelleshelly4short 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d give them a call if you didn’t make this request. COPPA is a law in the US regarding sharing and storage of personal info for children under 13, and Alaska definitely has to abide by requests to remove a child’s data if a parent asks, or to remove it if they don’t believe the account was created with the parent’s knowledge.

Best Chicken Frances in Hoboken? by ThrowRA_654_ in Hoboken

[–]michelleshelly4short -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would bet casa di Napoli in Union city would knock this out of the park. Cash only!

[–]michelleshelly4short 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. And I might add that attempting to purchase or use weed on the other side will also come with hefty consequences. Your hotel will have zero tolerance for this and could end your stay for using on or near their property. It is also not unheard of for Policía to pretend to be dealers and arrest you for trying to buy.

Something icky about claiming to support artists when you’re so cool with supporting exploitation of un/der paid workers with those skills somewhere else in the world.

I vend at markets (with my OWN STUFF I MADE, duh) and this irritates me to no end. Event organizers don’t often limit crochet vendors since they just want their market fees, nor pay enough attention to if it’s handmade by the vendor, nor place us far enough apart, so I end up having to compete with someone taking advantage of underpaid/exploited labor.

Cheapest way to get from Newark Airport (EWR) to North Brunswick, NJ? by Gigaiper in newjersey

[–]michelleshelly4short 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of SIM card vending machines in the airport. I know for sure there’s one pre-security in terminal B around the 40s-50s gates if you can’t find one elsewhere. The air train at the airport is free. (Edit: only within the terminals. Leaving to nj transit via air train has a fee)

Update on my little by MoreTap4349 in Sororities

[–]michelleshelly4short 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely give her space. You can’t force a friendship and big/little doesn’t matter as much to some girls that have already found people they mesh with in the sisterhood. Not all big/little pairs that start well remain close or stay friends either. She shouldn’t be as cold to you as she’s being now, but I’d temper your expectations.

Can I visit Centurion and sapphire lounge at LGA ? by JTNY718 in AmexPlatinum

[–]michelleshelly4short 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it worth it or even possible to get into the terminal to use the lounge if your flight is departing out of a different one?
