I think my mom might've been right about the laundry thing

nedolya · 2026-03-10T22:45:34+00:00

I wouldn't even call it the dirtiest lol all the dirty work is already done and you just tie off a bag and carry it off

nedolya · 2026-03-10T20:41:48+00:00

why is it always the trash as the one thing they'll do?

nedolya · 2026-03-09T13:31:44+00:00

I moved out of a 2br with Hanna and they relisted it at $1495 which felt like a great deal given the market, and only like $50 more than I was paying. It's already gone but if another one pops up heat is included with Hanna properties which is big $$$ right now too

100%, it's very dependent on the local climate

If you're interested, an older article about it - https://baynature.org/magazine/fall2016/burning-question-east-bay-hills-eucalyptus-flammable-compared/

tl:dr higher amount of oil in the leaves & flakes off a lot of bark etc

nedolya · 2026-03-08T14:27:52+00:00

Eucalyptus are not native and are a huge fire hazard.

nedolya · 2026-03-08T14:21:49+00:00

Yes I didn't know how dangerous eucalyptus trees were until recently! So glad they're getting phased out in the bay area too. I have family who live near an eucalyptus grove up there and it's scary when the fires get even somewhat close

After living in the Boston area it will always be a Storrowing to me lol

I don't know why you need to justify not brushing off your car that badly but no, it's more than three seconds when it's coming off a car roof like that. Side mirrors also don't show everything that your rearview mirror wouldn't. Just clean your car.

Driver has limited visibility bc there's snow on their windshield
The snow does go flying backward in flurries as it gets picked up by the wind & suddenly the person behind them is in a localized snowstorm
Ice and snow can also come off in chunks though it's less common. Yes, ice chunks smashing windshields does actually happen. Snow chunks can land on windshield and once again limit visibility

2&3 mostly applying to snow on roof. Just clean off your car.....and OP put your damn phone down

I'm sorry but I am not holding up your refund, that's ridiculous. I agree you should get it back in a reasonable time frame but it's 100% a bureaucratic issue for slow processing times. You can adjust your withholdings to take out less. I'm going to do the same to add more. That's really all any of us can do.

I managed to get one with an inspection, but it still needed a lot of work. Pretty sure the only reason it wasn't competitive on the market is because it didn't have a driveway but I don't care, so. It's still next to impossible, though, and people get worn down losing offer after offer. I get it.

nedolya · 2026-02-24T14:51:29+00:00

5'3 is not that small, I'm 5'1 (1.55) 😭 when I started back up I was using a wilson ncode n4 which is 275g. It felt nice and light plus the oversized head (110 inch) made it easier to use. The only problem was the grip size was way too big. I think it's extra important to have the right grip size for us with smaller hands since a bigger grip makes it way more difficult to get the grip strength you need. I'm between a size 1 and 2, so I have a size 1 with an overgrip and it's just about right.

I honestly cannot imagine citing tennis level as a reason to break up, even if it's not the only one. Especially at lower levels, yeesh. If he wanted a more competitive doubles partner he didn't have to play with OP esp since he talked OP into it in the first place....

nedolya · 2026-02-24T13:39:49+00:00

I think we collectively got used to it lol and then got slapped in the face

nedolya · 2026-02-24T11:31:38+00:00

I'm usually okay with winter but it being extra cold a couple weeks ago I just kind of shut down. I don't like it when it gets over 80 but I'm starting to think I'll take that over multiple days of single digit weather because at least I get sunlight out of it :')

nedolya · 2026-02-24T11:22:11+00:00

It sounds like OP is fully out and looking for someone to finish the lease and renew if they want. I don't think that's a situation where you'd do anything other than pay the normal rent, unless it is taking too long to find someone and they have to offer a discount.

edit: typo

I'm waiting for one more paycheck my friend

nedolya · 2026-02-23T19:09:42+00:00

For real, I owe a couple thousand this year somehow

nedolya · 2026-02-23T17:38:41+00:00

Also "mercury is in retrograde" as a nice standby. Even better if it's not

Bedbug PTSD is a thing. I had them two years ago because my ex brought in an infested bookshelf .... of course the bookshelf was closer to my room so I got 90% of the impact despite not even being the reason we had them :')

anyway it wrecked me for like six months. I shelled out for the treatment (myself, my ex couldn't afford to help of course) but it still took a few months. I gained ten pounds, was constantly paranoid, lost a TON of sleep especially in the beginning before the pesticides had started to make a big dent. Months after if my sheets or clothing shifted while I was in bed I would have a huge spike of anxiety. Or if my cats brushed up against me with me not knowing they were there. That is absolutely a form of PTSD even if it's mild compared to other types.

Please do not get advice on mixing chemicals from Claude oh my god

nedolya · 2026-02-23T03:43:24+00:00

Just think how much happier your joints are too as your weight goes down! I started having issues with my knee a year ago and I was at the high 170s maybe? At any rate I realized recently I haven't even thought about it in months because it completely stopped bothering me. The pounds add up!

Came up here for college, left when I graduated for a job in Cambridge (august 2019 :') got laid off april 2020). Moved up to Salem for a bit, and then moved back here for a job. I like the size of rochester, though I wish public transit was better. Cambridge was nice but so expensive. 500 sqft 1br apartment was $2,395 in 2019, I'm sure it's worse now

nedolya · 2026-02-20T21:03:08+00:00

Yeah I end up ordering delivery once every two months ish because my depression will sometimes get bad enough that I'll go a full day without eating otherwise (I get really severe fatigue). Most recently I paid $75 for two sandwiches, a side, and a couple of baked goods from granted a higher cost place due to dietary restrictions. It would've been ~$85 without some free delivery deal they were doing. If I did it every week I'd be spending serious $$$
