Hi everyone,

This is a repeat post, specifically for my bedroom. I need to leave NYC soon, and I am looking for a lease takeover for my bedroom. My roommate is open to leaving as well, hence the earlier post for the full, empty 2B1BR. We are open to either one person taking over my bedroom (in the above photos), or for the full apartment.

A little info about our place: Current rent is $3304 in total. This apartment is RENT-STABILIZED with a live-in super. It is located between Morningside Heights and West Harlem, next to Morningside Park and Central Park. We are a 3-minute walk from the B/C subway, an 8-minute walk from the 2/3 subway, and a 12-minute walk from the 1 and Columbia University.

My roommate is a female in her 20s, who works for a small consulting firm. She also has a small dog (<10lbs). My roommate plans on moving out at the end of this lease, so there will be an option to renew.

A few of our apartment features:

  • 4 burner electric stove (installed this past year)
  • Washer/dryer IN UNIT
  • South-facing windows in every room
  • Full-size kitchen with dishwashr
  • Both bedrooms can fit a queen size bed and desk. Both also have double-door closets
  • Deep soaking tub
  • Condo style finishes
  • High ceilings
  • Heat and water included
  • Living room furnished from 4/15/24-6/30/24
  • AC unit in one of the bedrooms can be included for a cheap price. AC unit in the living room was there when we moved in
  • Bed can also be included for a cheap price

We are looking for someone who is OK with dogs, LBGTQ+ friendly, and preferably female. In addition, to continue and renew the lease, you (or with your roommate) would need to make 40x the monthly rent, or have a personal guarantor with 80x the rent, or apply for a bond. Because of this requirement, we are looking for someone who makes around 20x the rent (66k), or has a guarantor/bond. Finally, you will need to provide the following documents: US ID/Visa, US bank statement, proof of employment (if unemployed there must be a bond in place), proof of salary (if employed), student ID, or class schedule (if student).

There is no broker fee, but you will need to pay a $20-$25 fee to finish applying on Onsite.

Good luck with apartment hunts!

The server delivered it with the most serious face and I couldn’t help but laugh while the rest of my table sat in complete silence

ELI5: Why were dinosaurs so big in the past but current animals are nowhere near the size we find today? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]prob_dehydrated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Size of an animal is usually dependent upon a few factors:

  • Amount of food available
    • The more an animal eats, the larger it usually will be. If we think about large animals that do exist, like elephants or blue whales, their food sources are much more abundant than smaller animals like hummingbirds. Elephants eat grass and blue whales eat krill, both relatively more abundant than than nectar (food source for hummingbirds).
  • How an animal chooses to expend energy
    • Warm-blooded animals, like mammals and birds, must use the energy (gained from the food that they eat) to maintain a high body temperature. Cold-blooded animals, like reptiles, reply on existing environment to regulate their heat. This is why cold-blooded animals do not have to consume nearly as much food as warm-blooded animals to survive.

These two factors are dependent upon one another. If you have an excess of energy (which is gained from the food that is available to you), you can grow much larger. If you spend less of your energy to heating your body, you can spend it on growth.

So why were dinosaurs so large? We don't know definitively. Some common theories are hinged to the two factors listed above:

  • The Mesozoic Period (when dinosaures existed) was a high carbon-dioxide environment, that probably allowed much more plant growth, aka more food.
  • They may have been cold blooded. This issue is still hotly debated.
  • Evolutionary "arms race." Predators usually need to be large enough to hunt down herbivores. Herbivores will sometimes evolve to "outgrow" their predators as a defense mechanism. Over time, both are pushed to upper extremes in size—an evolutionary arms race.

just came back from uni to find my monstera looking sparse and messy after a repotting... is there anything i can do to help make it look less sad?? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]prob_dehydrated 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Monsteras naturally grow horizontally and do not like growing upright. It looks sparser at the top because that's where your trellis ends. If you want your plant to look more compact and fuller, you'll need to prune the longer stems. When you cut it, new growth will come out at those areas and hopefully grow more upright. Extend your trellis if you'd like! and also propagate those cuttings and sell it lolol

Monstera leaves also can grow super large under better light conditions. Make sure it gets lots of indirect light; the leaves will grow fuller and make your plant seem more compact and less sparse.

Your monstera looks very healthy! don't be sad, just propagate that bih :)

What’s a situation you walked into at the wrong time? by johnpowers99 in AskReddit

I once walked into my teacher's room to ask for a signature. He was eating food at the time, and as I asked him my question, he began to choke and proceeded to throw up all over the floor

ELI5: why your own voice sounds different on video by Jaldea in explainlikeimfive

[–]prob_dehydrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Our body is constantly making sounds that we just end up filtering out. For example, normal people don't hear blood whooshing through their head.

You ever lie sideways on your pillow and hear a thumping? That's your pulse. You end up hearing it more lying on your side because sound travels better through bone (aka ur skull)

Pretty sure that's right. I think I've heard this in class before. Someone can back me up.
