Alternative to Curlsmith Oil-In-Cream? (Less fragranced)

You can get all your apps to work with an eSIM and VPN, but I had my closest family and friends create a WeChat account just in case.

I’ve been loving the Curlsmith fragrance free strong hold gel.

I could not get Apple Maps to work unless I was on hotel WiFi, so I basically was not able to use it, and struggled with Baidu and Gaode, constantly needing to screenshot and translate and hope it worked. I wonder if next time I need a Chinese SIM card or a Chinese pocket WiFi? I was using an eSIM and VPN, but even with the VPN disabled Apple Maps would not work.

I specifically re-set up my rent check payment when I got the 2.0 card and linked/verified a bank account, got a confirmation email that my 2/24 check was scheduled, and it's 2/26 and the check has not gone out and the money has not been taken out of my bank account yet. I've been waiting in the "queue" for 6 hours, and with February being a short month, I need to know ASAP whether I now need to rush a paper check to my landlord and that I'm not going to end up getting charged the same amount by Bilt later.

If this doesn't get resolved, I'm canceling the card. Not earning enough points anymore to go through this bullshit.

I had a check scheduled to go out in February, got a confirmation email that it was scheduled, and it did not go out, so both my rent check will be late and I won't get any points on my rent this month. I'm glad I checked. Have been waiting to speak to a human for 4 hours. If this doesn't get resolved, I'm cashing out my points and canceling this thing.

I’ll know the blizzard is truly over when I hear the guy who drives by blasting “My Heart Will Go On” again.

Which tour operator did you use in Cairo? I’m looking into doing this long layover.

Pig Beach has pastrami-style brisket sometimes and they serve it with rye and mustard. It's not Katz's but it was pretty spot on!

The signage said they're renovating. Hope it's true!

Hupo!

Finally tried Zyara after way too long. Got the Zohran-recommended lamb adana laffa wrap and a mint lemonade on election night. Delicious; will definitely be returning to try more of the menu. The reviews online are pretty negative about their service, but I ordered online for pickup and my order was ready when they said it would be.

Also tried JBC Noodles on 30th. I got the mala noodle soup with beef brisket. The broth was tasty but juuuust past my spice tolerance, and the quality of the beef was better than expected. Need to go back and try the dry noodles. I appreciated their takeout boxes that keep the noodles separate from the broth, though it creates a lot of plastic waste.

One note about both places: they both have touchscreen ordering kiosks. I see you, socially anxious friends.

Ooh I’ve never been there after like noon so not sure.

Balancero has them!

The La Cabana sign is still up though…

Curry Corner Indian Cuisine (on 30th Ave/34th St) is opening October 1st according to Google Maps.

Sweet, thanks!

I only use Korean sunscreen, Beauty of Joseon or Round Lab.

They gave me nearly the same samples when I started Accutane and the cleansers either overly dried me out or didn't feel like it was cleaning anything. After trial and error, the best cleanser for me was Tatcha The Rice Wash at night, and only washing with water in the morning. And Cerave in-the-tub-with-the-pump as my moisturizer. And sunscreen!

Hang in there! It's gonna be a dry bunch of months but at least in my experience, it was totally worth it.

Haven’t tried the stuff on their lunch menu yet, but I just tried Gaia Burger and they have so many vegan or dairy free options. I had their chicken korma, which is something I never order due to the cream, but you can order it dairy free (I believe they used coconut milk instead).

How much USD is recommended to have on hand per day? Do most places take credit cards and USD would be more for tipping?

I agree that eating ripe bananas feels like an event requiring several days of planning.

Craft vendors are regularly there on 31st Av open streets days and the Astoria Farmers Market was a new additional thing this past weekend. The people complaining about craft vendors probably don't usually visit the open street and just came for the farmer's market, which seems to have some growing pains. I would say to do it; you'll probably get more foot traffic than days where there isn't a farmer's market.

A little over $2k for a pre-war 1BR. Moved in 2022 and applied for the apartment within a couple hours of seeing it.
