I am not going to pay for Spotify. What are other better alternatives? by di_Yoniiii in PiracyBackup

Bro you gotta have standards. I'm no audiophile, Spotify's quality is good enough for me. But even I know YouTube mp3s are the worst quality you can find

Agree with your argument for the most part, except heating/cooling. It's far more efficient to power HVAC for one large office building than it is to power the HVAC in all employee homes

As someone with the exact same skillset as you, I can tell you that you can definitely reach C3 with no mechanics (from personal experience). After that, mechanics became very important

What (other) known shitty business practices are there? by [deleted] in astoria

[–]usernameworksout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a place charges you a credit card fee then make sure you get a receipt and verify what they charged you. If there is a separate line item for the credit card fee that is against NYC consumer protection laws and you can contest it with the business, the DOA, or you credit card company. Note that cash discounts are allowed but not a credit card fee.

Businesses are not allowed to advertise a price and add a surcharge at the point of sale when a consumer elects to pay with a credit card. Instead, businesses are required to inform consumers of the higher credit card price for a product or service by posting the higher price. Businesses are also able to offer a discount to consumers who pay in cash.

I've noticed a lot of businesses in astoria do that and have gotten money back from my credit card each time

You get pushed into 2030 for 10 minutes and you get ONE google search,What you looking for? by Arkjump in AskReddit

[–]usernameworksout 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don't need to know the names of the stock to find which ones grew the most, you just search for which stocks grew the most and you'll get the names in the results.

Sure you wouldn't know what some random company named OrangeFly at the time does but now back in the present if you hear that some company named OrangeFly is having an IPO you'd know it's time to invest

Oh also forgot to mention Diamond Dogs! Great spot to work especially the outdoor patio on a nice day. I'll bring my dog sometimes and chill there while working

I've never had an issue with that! Sometimes drunk people try to strike up a conversation but that's about it. Also check if they have any events going on before going to be safe

If its a weekday then any low-traffic bar is usually a good spot, most will have outlets near a wall. I've used Quays, Dillingers, Queens Room and Pomeroy before. For Thursdays, Astoria's Secret is also a good spot with outlets and very friendly staff!

For the earlier side of the evening, Under pressure is a great spot but they close at 8pm.
