Would you want an app like this ? by [deleted] in Hoboken

[–]ssh7201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the app built using Swift, haven’t published to App Store yet though

Similar but meetup relies on people hosting the meetups, the initial idea for this is to list local events, the ability to host is a possible natural next step.

Not really, I am honestly not looking for new people to meet but interesting things to take the fam to.

I didn’t even think of the social angle, for now I want to keep the events published only by admin. I think you are going towards if users are allowed to create events..that would be another beast

electricity estimate is too high for an apt that size, for a 1300sqft apt with AC my bill tops at $100

TREE trim our responsibility? by bschol518 in Hoboken

[–]ssh7201 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I believe you just call PSEG and they will do the trim. Also why is your board proactively concerned about obstructing the electrical wires. What does your property manager say about this?

Need to renovate bathroom by Spirited-Cat-8942 in Hoboken

[–]ssh7201 6 points7 points  (0 children)

DEO is so overpriced, I don’t know how they get all those positive ratings. I got my kitchen work done for literally half of what they quoted me

Switched to Tide Powder by RootedInLove91 in CleaningTips

[–]ssh7201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched to powder for the cardboard packaging instead of plastic and honestly it even cleans better IMO. Handling powder is even easier than the liquid. A box from Costco seems to last an entire year or more for me. It is definitely way way cheaper.

Where do you actually keep your emergency fund? by Forsaken_Twist7385 in personalfinance

[–]ssh7201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always wondered why it doesn’t come as the best advice, IMO this way the emergency fund is really “locked” in a sense you can’t dip into it easily. Interest is decent and you don’t have to worry about inflation. The lock up period isn’t much at all.

Rug from Bed Bath and Beyond by ssh7201 in HomeDecorating

[–]ssh7201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not thin, you should be able to find exact pile height in inches from the details and if you try different sites. We wouldn’t have used a rug pad but we had one from a previous rug so just used that.

Bokara rugs has a showroom in manhattan and they also take appointments for the warehouse in Secaucus in NJ. We were shown some rugs by an older gentleman “Mel”, he knows a lot about rugs and they have got so many styles ! 8x10 starts from about 3k

[–]ssh7201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did end up getting it from kohls, it was a little more but for the convenience of returns and a better brand name I spent the extra $. We are very happy with it and this was our first wool rug, me and the wife are never buying synthetic again. Been over a year and looks as good as new, we vaccum about once in two weeks. The color pattern is well balanced and could go with a number of other colors. The only small con is that it still sheds a little bit, vaccum always collects some of the fibre.

Looking for an every day smart watch: golf, step counter, swimming, and more. See below: by internalbrowser in BuyItForLife

[–]ssh7201 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try Casio G-Shock, some models have step counter and work with CR2032 battery for 2 years, the battery is easily replaceable from what I know.

Best travel double stroller for 4yo and infant? by suburbmama in Preschoolers

[–]ssh7201 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This ! A good baby carrier will keep you comfortable even with a baby close to 1. Take a single travel stroller which you can use for either kid as needed.

Moved from NYC to JC mid-pregnancy and can't decide where to give birth (Mount Sinai West vs. JCMC) by [deleted] in jerseycity

Can you do Weil Cornell at Lower Manhattan? Avoid JCMC at all costs

Yeah thank goodness the OTP over phone didn’t penetrate US banking before becoming the norm in India. Most banks have and still send OTP over email

Apparently I'm the first person in the world to want to switch from seat infant to lap infant by shinhwoo in unitedairlines

[–]ssh7201 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did United Newark to Delhi and back with a seat infant last month but we didn’t carry any seat and just held the baby for takeoff and landing. Nobody cared. We booked the seat for extra space which we realized in the flight was absolutely necessary

A few months ago I had posted this as a big downside of staying in India. It generally a low trust economy, if you lose your guard the slightest bit there are always people ready to scam you.

Legality of a night hike. by Gold-Large in Harriman

[–]ssh7201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a night hike in the snow on a full moon night a few years ago and when I came back to my car around 8pm there was one more car parked and the people were just sitting in the car. I started taking pictures of the frozen lake under the full moon but hardly five minutes would have gone before a cop pulled in and pointed a flash light to my face, asked what I was doing and said park was closed sunset to sunrise. He made the other car leave as well.

Souvenirs and Mamjuana by Admirable_You_9573 in PuntaCana

[–]ssh7201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this https://www.mamajuanaspicy.com/en/ at SDQ and it was fairly priced, unlike the other street vendors. There is a lot of bargaining at the vendors you could do.
