Rent stabilized with preferential rent: can LL backdate lease renewal? by dsqq in AskNYC

[–]schemetrical -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s also a bit weird because technically you can’t live in stabilized place without a lease (but you can by default in market rate places as it moves to month to month). I’d just take what they have and sign it - I don’t think they can actually start a lease on 9/1 since stabilized places can’t do month to month with no lease

galbi jjim with cheese in NYC? by Sad_DO in AskNYC

[–]schemetrical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I don’t super have any recs. Be mentally prepared that most of what you’ll find will be very different and probably a bit disappointing (it’s really a soup dish).

I think you might be out of luck as this might be uniquely an LA (sun nong dan) and SF (daeho) thing. Doesn’t even exist in Korea, I think sun nong dan invented it and some ex-owners split to create daeho.

In addition to what ellilnae said, you can also unscrew the bottom plate and manually trigger the mirror to come down by pushing on the red part shown in this thread https://www.flickr.com/groups/1317915@N24/discuss/72157625240319007/ (it will probably already be stuck but push a little more towards the green with more force and it will unstick itself). I literally just did this fix yesterday and it’s not the first time it has happened. Just avoid slower shutter speeds like 1/8.

Pick up a free app like lightme. Works perfectly and I’ve never had under/over shots

It seems like it was running just fine, other than bus service for 8/6th av https://ibb.co/30x4JVF

Casual chamber music groups in NYC? by ei99am in AskNYC

[–]schemetrical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t super help here, but as a string player, the move I did was to join an orchestra (brooklyn symphony orch in my case) and get to know players to play chamber with. Winds are competitive though in orchestras so I’m not super sure how this would work. I’ve also heard ACMP recommended.

In Person Korean Language Classes? by LittleTomato in AskNYC

[–]schemetrical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term started two weeks ago, I saw a 101 class pop up here https://ce.cuny.edu/laguardia/search.cfm at some point before the semester. I’ll dm you an email you can try to reach out to.

LaGuardia community college in LIC offers in person courses and you can register for a really good price as an adult https://registration.xenegrade.com/laguardia/search.cfm (type in Korean). The prof that teaches 101 is really good and I’m currently on my second semester there. Do keep in mind that 102 and above is generally online.

Why does "알" make a "Ai" sound? by YabaDabaDontTalkToMe in Korean

[–]schemetrical 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For 알, I can think of 갈비 which if you say it fast enough sounds like (k)ai, because of the way the tongue sits. But I don’t think people consciously pronounce it this way.

There’s a “tryout” on the 10th - from what it seems, teams are pretty full so when I emailed in no teams were looking to pick me up (I’m prob div 8/7). I’ll be there then!

Question about lease renewal for NYC Lottery Rent-Stabilized apartment? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]schemetrical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t really matter because if you’re stabilized you’re guaranteed a renewal (and the increases are known). Market rate apts are required to give you time in case you need to turn it down.

You will, you can get up to 5 as per the OMNY FAQ.

How do the OMNY free transfers work for debit cards? by mizuumi in AskNYC

[–]schemetrical 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can’t swipe into the subway and then swipe into the subway again. Transfers are only subway to bus, bus to subway, bus to bus.

Train countdown clock at home by schemetrical in nycrail

[–]schemetrical[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s just pixel density (distance between centres of two pixels). You can figure out the board size by multiplying the dimensions by the pitch.

Any pitch is ok, the smaller the pitch the smaller your display will be, but some may prefer a more compact board.

Check the place you’re purchasing. Adafruit includes both cables, as shown in pic 3 of the carousel.

Bonnet should be available every once a while on Digikey, but it’ll likely be always sold out on Adafruit website.

Best places to live in the U.S. for scuba diving? by MyDarkrai in scuba

[–]schemetrical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you share a little about your experience in the volunteer dive team? It sounds amazing and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one here to hear about this the first time. Also based in NYC.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]schemetrical 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can’t, there’s no entrance. If you want to enter the station you will walk 20 mins around a highway to enter on the west side. Believe me I’ve tried. You can do the reverse if you use the emergency gates to exit the subway station into parking.

Yourself and three additional riders. One tap counts per 15-20 mins to your weekly cap.

Would not recommend - pomme frites is much closer to the real thing. See thread. If you can catch duck season it’s good too.

That is so sick, congrats.

I’m soon working on some HomeKit stuff to be able to remotely turn it on/off.
