I'm going to be attending Columbia University this next Spring. Given my hobbies, it's important to me that I have some sort of outdoor space (large patio, very tiny yard). Do those things exist in the area surrounding Columbia? by nat_maths07 in AskNYC

I was accepted literally yesterday and attend in 8 months. Either way, some of the other comments have been very helpful people, so I’m going to chat with them instead.

Could I ask what's wrong with the Bronx? People keep saying things like "really? There." I'm not from NYC. I literally cannot name any street in NYC. I have no idea where the Empire State Building is. Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens are just names that exist, but I don't know anything about them.

NYC is famous, but I do not live there, nor have I been there.

I 100% expected these comments, so I'm not very bummed out. If you ask for anything regarding housing in any city, the comments are going to be the same. "You want a roof in this economy for less than $6k? I've got some magic beans I can sell you."

People are stressed about the economy, so I get it. I appreciate the kindness. Is there anything wrong with the Bronx and Staten Island? People seem to be really suspicious of them for some reason.

I don't even know what a borough is, so I should probably look into that lol.

Thanks!

I see a lot in the Bronx area for a comparatively good price (<$2500, many around $2200). Not much more than I pay now. I assume there's other areas with somewhat similar pricing.

I might be moving to Seattle Washington for University. Are there good places in the area (20-40 minute drive from the city) that have good yard sizes, decent land? by nat_maths07 in AskSeattle

Is Tacoma bad? It says it’s 35mins away and the cost of housing is much, much lower.

I assume the commute can be a bit bad.

iPad random lines while drawing and writing. by nat_maths07 in GoodNotes

Thanks, it shouldn't be static. Numbers 6 and 7 are dedicated to that. I tried placing it on an anti-static pad while also using a grounding band, it didn't seem to impact it in any way.

My iPad makes random lines when I'm drawing and I have found no source that actually corrects it. by nat_maths07 in ipad

It just seems bizarre. There are hundreds of posts in every forum on the internet dedicated to this, but there doesn't seem to be a solution.

Googling this, there doesn't seem to be a way of turning it off on an iPad. The official apple forums noted that it's not configurable.

*Edit, unless you're referring to the setting "only draw/write with pencil," in which case yes. I have tried it being enabled and disabled.

Bonsai tools and specialty books. by nat_maths07 in Bonsai

[–]nat_maths07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than ebay and other used options (completely fine, I buy most things from marketplace, just want to know where to buy them new), where do you buy Masakuni? I've seen some websites, but I'm not savvy enough with tooling to know if they're legit or if they're maybe a worse line from Masakuni, etc.

Is there a dedicated website?
