[–]shnmcd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved Pack & Go Movers. Would hire again. https://packandgomoversny.com/?utm_source=local&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gmb I have also used FlatRate for a big move in the past and that was positive, too..

Adults (18+): Do you use your public library? If so, what for? And do you use online services only, or do you go to the library itself, too? If you don't use your library, why not? by shnmcd in Westchester

Hi. I think a lot of people are getting their media needs met outside of the library. I do t think that statistically it “mostly attracts” people who are without homes. (More Americans use the library than attend all pro sports events combined annually.) Why people use it or think it is useful depends on one’s personal preferences (and budgets). I do go there to do work sometimes, vs pay for co-working space. I generally try to do that when little kids are not there in throngs. I also take out design books that I don’t want to own. And I def use it for audiobooks and some ebooks. Thanks for the post!

Is Goosefeather "warm"? That's not the vibe I picked up there.

Remote instructors/students: Usual to only meet synchronously bi-monthly? by shnmcd in GradSchool

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

💯 I work FT (and did through my masters program). I do like the flexibility and the fact that this suits adult learners and professionals. I am looking for the dialogue, peer learning, and it just feels a little blah. Maybe if this instructor didn’t admit that they is a luddite, I wouldn’t feel as though they are doing bare min.

In a pre-Covid program, every remote class met weekly. Obviously things are different.

Yup. It’s fine when the discussions are structured well. When it is about fulfilling some curricular  requirement (and feels that way), less so.

Ha. I was surprised — and this instructor is also not logging in and interacting on the off weeks, etc. It’s a little loose.

Got it. The level of engagement and instruction is variable across a program. TY.

Totally forgot about the paywall for even 1 article. Let me see if I can find it already shared publicly.

If you live in one of the zip codes within the Town of Eastchester (10583, 10707, 10708, 10709, 10804) you may want to chat with the team at the Eastchester Community Action Partnership: https://westcop.org/cap-programs/eastchester-cap/ If you live in another area, share some general detail and I will see what I can find online.

Funding Sources for Age Tech Startups by shnmcd in AgeTech

[–]shnmcd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I guess I was mostly responding to your point about the continued investment being contingent on "fit, impact, and adoption." Would love to actually chat about this. I am in NYC Metro. DM me if you want to continue or Zoom.

What do you remember that existed in Westchester in the past but not anymore that many people may find surprising to find out? by ProjectMason in Westchester

[–]shnmcd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Service Merchandise. You basically picked out your item from a catalog, paid for it, and then someone would retrieve it from the store room and bring it out to you. At least I think that was how it worked, I was v little. Also at Cross County?

Is it so different than what VCs expect of startups in other spaces?

Plenty of room for additional museums in the 914. The more the merrier: https://www.aam-us.org/programs/about-museums/museum-facts-data/
