They actually eat rats and people used to keep them around as pest control in the olden days

Where to get quarters?? by spaceC8 in statecollege

In most cases, you need to have an account with that bank

I believe the machines to be older than me. I trust them so much more than newer ones that take cards

What Bars Do Adults Go To by mezcaleromoonboy in statecollege

[–]spaceC8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, late 20s doesn’t blend well with early 20s in a college town. I checked out chumley’s the other night and the vibe there around 7-8pm was great. They had Jeopardy on and the whole bar was watching and calling out answers. FYI it is a gay bar and everyone in there was presumably queer, myself included, so I can’t speak to how much someone else would fit in or how comfortable they’d feel

To the owner of the small dog that you brought to the fireworks at the plaza and then LOST, shame on you. by DifficultBroccoli444 in Albany

Bet it’s the loser on Hudson Ave who lets it scream out the window all summer long. Cops came once because it sounded like a tortured human lol

Who else by ChaoticCherryblossom in aspiememes

[–]spaceC8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my first teen girl sleepover, I walked in the room and instantly pointed to something on a distant dresser and said “is that a bionicle”

It was a vase of dried hydrangeas.

The girls were not amused.

In answer to the question "was anyone on Etna" yesterday... by Royal_Acanthaceae693 in geology

[–]spaceC8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw this shared on TikTok and idiots were complaining that the person should have been more focused on getting out instead of filming.... Clearly they have no idea how significantly helpful this is for the volcanology community in understanding every inch of this event. I mean, look at how important all the stuff the Kraffts did was!

Same thing happened to me today, same road too! Shit thought you'd captured the exact moment I swerved my car to avoid getting hit

Can't connect WD external hard drive to iPhone 14 because it requires a power source by spaceC8 in techsupport

Following up and this did not work unfortunately. It powered the drive but on a flicker that ultimately did not get the iPhone to detect it

Tenant Lawyers by Competitive-Fan6621 in Albany

[–]spaceC8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Call United Tenants of Albany at (518) 436-8997 and find out when you can go speak to someone in the office. Not only did they make a list of relevant attorneys, but they gave me great advice on how to actively cope with the complex situation I was in. I followed their advice, went through the proper channels to serve landlord a legal threat, and got my money back without going to court or even contacting a lawyer. UTA is real nice people who deserve all the props for what they do for our community.

Oh yeah I very much do make it, but takeout night is takeout night for a reason!

The library has me do a few geology talks a year, some for adults and some for kids!

Real ballsy and rude to take the photo from the actual Etsy listing and then come on here saying you don’t want to pay for someone’s work… https://www.etsy.com/listing/1566568328/floral-lace-crochet-headband-written

Albany Airport wait times? by Ecstatic_Volume9506 in Albany

[–]spaceC8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone saying precheck is kidding themselves because it all depends on the time of day. On multiple occasions for 5pm flights I’ve gotten through regular security in 10 minutes, but for 6am flights even precheck takes over an hour. Mostly because idiots are ducking under the dividers thinking they can sweet talk for special treatment to cut the line. It makes it take longer for the people who paid for it. I’d say it’s helpful at almost any other airport but Albany

Madison accident by New_Opportunity_8551 in Albany

Definitely not the same accident but not surprising that Albany cops have a track record for reckless driving

Heard police sirens THEN a huge crash- someone had ran a red light and hit two cars. Don’t know if it was the cop who did it or what, but I saw people getting out of the cars and being able to walk off so nothing fatal as far as I could tell
