it's true that 3G on the ubahn in munich made the 50m commute a bit better but mostly i just read books
― caek, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:58 (eleven years ago) link
great scads of improving literature
one thing i am looking forward to: i have a big backlog of 20th c history books to read which i've been uncomfortable to read in the former national socialist republic

I live in sunnyside!!
it is an okay commute, not ideal but not life ruining

well idk thats where iatee lives u should ask him

where exactly is the apt
not sure yet. will let you know.
― caek, Monday, 18 March 2013 16:24 (eleven years ago) link
if it's close to the subway it could be ok but some things there can be pretty far from the trains
― dmr, Monday, 18 March 2013 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
ugh, shipping. has anyone done this? is there a thread for how terrible it is?
― caek, Thursday, 21 March 2013 16:16 (eleven years ago) link
this thread is about shipping records but probably applies to shipping a bunch of heavy stuff cross country in general

EMS surface imo. however, thanks to the hilarious antics of congress, the USPS no longer does surface shipping to other countries. lock in
― 乒乓, Thursday, 21 March 2013 16:46 (eleven years ago) link
i don't think it's actually called 'ems surface' btw. i shipped a hell of a lot of stuff overseas using surface mail and it was cheap and it got there.

is anyone using tmobile on iphone in nyc? are you getting 4G or E?

― iatee, Sunday, 24 March 2013 15:18 (eleven years ago) link
in new york you dont need a cell phone you just yell HEY IM TRYINA WALK HERE and everything else pretty much takes care of itself
― lag∞n, Sunday, 24 March 2013 15:20 (eleven years ago) link
are you with tmobile directly or straightalk or sovelei. seems like straightalk have stopped offering at&t network sims to new customers.
also, lol at paying for sim cards. how charming!

tmobile has been hella shitty for me when i'm in NJ and fine in NYC

t-mobile worked really bad for me in astoria so I dropped them and got verizon and it was much better. that was years ago though.
― dmr, Sunday, 24 March 2013 21:46 (eleven years ago) link
yeah apparently they're in the process of making their data network 4g comaptible (before that gsm iphones worked, but only got 2g speeds), and new york was one of the first cities to get the upgrade late last year.
verizon, sprint et al. not an option (via gsm iphone). it's at&t or t-mobile.

Rain tomorrow. It's generally reliably in the 50s but there can be a chilly breeze still so unless you're right in the sun, it's cooler than you think. Nights are a little cold but you can sit outside in a sweater. High of 70 tomorrow, which I'll believe when I see it, but it shows you how unreliable things are right now.
