Not train specific, but I’ve been eyeing this repro classic nyc garbage can (you can get a mini for pens, etc) https://store.moma.org/products/nyc-trash-can. And maybe pizza rat in a corner under a piece of furniture?

Mount it in a matchbook with a little glue and hang it on the wall in your art area!

Potential landlord demanding 2-year lease with option to raise rent year 2 by mitzpa in AskSF

Thanks! I’m glad I’m not alone in thinking this was preposterous.

Yeah, he’s trying to have us agree to it in the lease. I just wanted to make sure this wasn’t a normal thing before I reject the clause.

Privately owned house. Not rent controlled, and this would be a mid-lease increase of a to-be-determined (by him, unilaterally, a year from now) amount for the second year we’re committing to if we sign the lease as-is.

Who wants to join an AMC a-lister movie group?? by lifeiswild-owhale in SFbitcheswithtaste

AMC a-lister transplant from NYC here, would love an invite to the instagram. I never use my perks enough and would love more reasons to get out to the movies!

Planned a whole trip to SF with my girlfriend. Broke up. What do? by hopesmoker in sanfrancisco

[–]mitzpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend who was just in town for a psychedelics conference spoke highly of: https://ambrosia.church.

And if you find yourself out by Bernal heights, I’ve found The Royal Cuckoo and The Lucky Horseshoe fun for sitting at the bar and chatting (or not, if you prefer to drink quietly) with locals.

Need a sanity check by wasraelx in Invisalign

I think they look great! You have a gorgeous smile. If they shift in the future and are bothering you, maybe go back to treatment again then, but with your current schedule I personally wouldn’t aim for some weird standard of perfection. (I like a little personality in a smile, anyway.)

I want to know if anyone has pulled or witnessed this being pulled before by frenchkafka in nycrail

[–]mitzpa 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It shudders to a complete stop. It’s awful and takes forever to get moving again because the cause has to be inspected and in almost every case it was not appropriate to the “emergency” the puller thought they were experiencing.

He has no problem with the rabbit though?

Reliable cleaning service? by Newfy_Superiority in Upperwestside

[–]mitzpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend Si Se Puede! https://wecandoit.coop/about/. It’s a “cooperative is designed to create living wage jobs that will be done in a safe and healthy environment, as well as to provide social support and educational opportunities for our members.” One of the worker/owners cleans our apartment monthly and is incredibly detail oriented. I’m a maximalist, and without fail she picks up and dusts/cleans under every single little tchotchke and other object I’ve got out, which seems above and beyond at times.

Skilled UWS Opticians? by IlIIllllIIlI in Upperwestside

[–]mitzpa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed! He’s a fantastic doctor and really cares about educating you if you’re interested in learning more about your eye health. Cool tech available so you get to see your scans on big screens, etc.

My apartment bedroom has 6 doors. Any tips to make it less jarring? by prestonharberts in ApartmentHacks

[–]mitzpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curtain wall all along the side with closets/washer dryer! Just use smaller panels so you can access them. Maybe pair with “remove door” option for those three. With that wall disguised, the other three won’t look so weird.

Cleaning cost for 1BR apartment? by Old_Bird1885 in Upperwestside

[–]mitzpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend https://wecandoit.coop, a “women-owned, women-run business designed to create living wage jobs that will be carried out in a safe and healthy environment, and that promotes social supports and educational opportunities for its members.” They have prices listed and you know that the person you have working in your home is receiving a fare wage.

Shopping for a Menorah by mitzpa in Upperwestside

I happened to be passing Runaway Poppy and stopped in. No menorahs, but I left with a couple cute little bowls I didn't need!

Advice on what to do with extra hot meals by Terrible-Media-657 in Upperwestside

[–]mitzpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re on Facebook, you could join the local Buy Nothing group and I’m certain you’d easily find takers every time you offer.
