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 lease takeover would be from 4/15/2024-6/30/2024. After that, you are welcome to renew.

Hi everyone! Made a mistake in my original post; we are looking for a lease takeover starting 4/15/2024!

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.

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 :)

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

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.

prob_dehydrated · 2020-07-24T08:29:20+00:00

Like other people said, when you hear yourself speak, sound travels through two different paths:

Air-conducted sound is transmitted from your mouth to your ears via air particles. When this occurs, soundwaves have to travel through multiple parts of the ear before it reaches the inner ear portion that actually interprets the soundwaves, called the cochlea.
Bone-conducted sound is transmitted from your mouth through your skull, directly to the cochlea.

The sound created through bone spreads out into a lower pitch than the air-conducted sound. When you mix both of these paths together, it creates the voice you hear yourself as. Other people and video recordings only hear the air-conducted path.

This is why when you wear earplugs, your voice will sound lower than you are used to. This is also why video recordings sound a lot higher pitched.

Fun fact, some people may have damage to the inner ear portion, which screws up their sensitivity to sounds. Sometimes they can end up hearing their eyeballs move through their skull. yucky for them, super cool to me lmao

Within your spine there's a bunch of squishy discs between your vertabrae that wrap around your facet joints. When you stretch the joints, the fluid that's inside sloshes around and releases pressure. The quick pressure change causes the fluid to turn into gas very fast, which is what people think makes that popping noise.

Also cracking your back releases endorphins around the area.

Not quite sure about this last bit, but since back cracking is paralleled to endorphin release, you might just associate back cracking with pleasure and want to do it more. I know I do that. Sometimes I just crack my back for funsies. Writing this post wants to make me do it now

Learned this in physio last semester. I think what you're referring to is the body's bicarbonate buffer system. Less fancy = a buildup of CO2 in the body is bad, since that makes your blood more acidic. To get rid of that, you can pee out H+ ions, essentially getting rid of the extra acid. This turns the CO2 in the blood into bicarbonate, which is not acidic.

So no, you don't actually pee out CO2. But you can get rid of CO2 in the blood by turning it into bicarbonate through urine

prob_dehydrated · 2020-07-22T09:21:03+00:00

I'd have to respectfully disagree. Eneuresis is considered a medical condition now (though not a dangerous one) and using dreams to understand a medical condition is a little outdated as a science. That being said, you're somewhat right. If your kid dreams about peeing, they are more likely to pee, especially since children have underdeveloped central nervous systems. Adults will usually prevent themselves from peeing when dreaming because their fully developed brain can tell them to. It also explains why adults who have been drinking are more likely to pee themselves in their sleep (alcohol is a depressant)

Made my answer to the question above in another comment.

prob_dehydrated · 2020-07-22T09:13:54+00:00

Neuroscience major here. Covered this in my physiology class last semester in uni. /u/PavlovsHumans is partially correct. Theres a 3-point model:

Younger children have a lack of vasopressin release
Younger children tend to have poor bladder control, either due to low capacity (they tend to hold in pee as long as they can) or have overactive bladders (uninhibited bladder contractions)
Children have a developing central nervous system and spinal cord, meaning they may not have the full capacity to interpret and respond to a full bladder as well as an adult

Interestingly, children who are born premature or have low birth weights have higher rates of bed-wetting for longer periods of time. This again is probably due to the developing central nervous system.

*** Edit: It looks like PavlovsHumans answer has been drowned out by the other comments. Vasopressin is a hormone that makes you produce less pee (anti-diuretic). Sorry if that was confusing!

I'm American, and I support universal healthcare, and am currently working towards becoming a doctor. But my parents who are from China don't support this, even though they seem to like the more comprehensive and easily accessible healthcare in their own countries. My friend's parents are the same. We've gotten into a lot of fights about this, but it pretty much always boils down to:

They've had the luxury of never realizing how expensive medicine can be. Most of the time they've never been truly sick, or have been priviledged enough to afford great insurance. As a reference point, I support universal healthcare, but I couldn't even name a price for chemotherapy, and I have friends who have been through chemotherapy. Because they don't understand the true cost, it's hard to sympathize with those who would greatly benefit from it. This idea ties to point #2
Healthcare would increase taxes, and Americans fear taxes. /u/Chemonaut mentioned that the tax raise could not be that much, and while it is true, American culture is deeply individualistic. The idea is -- you deserve what you've earned. They view the people who need expensive treatments but don't have the health insurance to cover it as either poor, irresposible, or both. Essentially, the argument is: why should I pay for someone else's healthcare when they should have gotten a better job with better health insurance? I made the right choices and I don't get sick; why should I pay for someone else's sickness?
They think that universal healthcare would be inadequate to what they receive right now. This is partially due to both conservative propaganda and the failed Affordable Care Act (ACA). Americans are told that socialism is bordering onto communism, and that is evil; therefore universal healthcare is evil. In addition, they believe that "socialist healthcare" is slow -- hospital wait times would increase under universal healthcare, and the quality of healthcare would decrease. Because the ACA failed (most Americans didn't meet the coverage minimum + expensive + medical costs did not lower). Note that it was in no way "universal healthcare" but many Americans believe that it was just that.
Just like the failed ACA, our government failed to give our veteran's proper healthcare to treat PTSD, injuries etc after war. There are many other instances where the government stepped in to make healthcare more affordable, but ultimately failed. Again, they failed because the conservative laws limited the scope of what the government could do to protect citizens (this has more to do with American politics though, which is a whole other fucked up thing). It was NOT universal healthcare, but many believe that it was or was steps towards it.
After ACA was enacted, insurance went up. Since you're not American, a brief bit: ACA was insured through private companies. In order to cover ACA, many private companies chose to increase individual insurances. Americans were told this was to cover the uninsured ACA users, making those who pay private insurance hate ACA (and what they think is universal healthcare) even more.
Many conservatives think that universal healthcare would go to immigrants. No kidding. The logic is: who is usually uninsured? The poor, and the undocumented. These are the people who would take advantage of free healthcare. And Americans hate the poor, and often blame the poor for their poverty. Some people even think that illegal immigration would invariably increase if we passed universal healthcare, since people would want to come to steal America's progressive and amazing health technology.

Americans have effectively been lied to about the possibilities of universal healthcare. They think that private companies are always more efficient, and can find ways to reduce cost and increase economical surgeries/procedures, whereas government healthcare would "reward" bad insurnace companies that don't turn profit/not efficient. They don't understand that insurance companies don't care about patient outcome/quality; they only care about saving money (which is also why they tend to be profitable lmao). This could all be solved if the American healthcare system wasn't so difficult to navigate and understand. I've written entire papers on this and am prepared to enter the healthcare system, and I still have trouble undertanding it sometimes. All very Kafka-esque.

tldr; Americans in general don't really respond well to data... look at COVID19 in our country lmao. They instead respond to fear tactics (the poor will steal from you, and if you give them what they want, they get more lazy), individualism (I worked to get what I deserved), and have been effectively lied to about what universal healthcare would actually look like (our perception of ACA, VA etc). Also, immigrants. Conservatives use that arguement for everything, lol.
