i go to new york

darraghmac actually lives in the movie its a mad mad mad world

"That's a little girl's bike!"

otm both counts tbf

ipad negates long commute btw

i have a lead for a sublet in sunnyside. is that a terrible commute for me?

yes

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.

if it's close to the subway it could be ok but some things there can be pretty far from the trains

ugh, shipping. has anyone done this? is there a thread for how terrible it is?

this thread is about shipping records but probably applies to shipping a bunch of heavy stuff cross country in general

moving vinyl

cross ocean : (

EMS surface imo. however, thanks to the hilarious antics of congress, the USPS no longer does surface shipping to other countries. lock in

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.

I used these guys for a US to Canada move. They were fast and professional, and they specialize in not-huge moves: www.sh1psmart.c0m (un-googleproof first obv)

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

goes back and forth but it's definitely been improving

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

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!

that's an xp, i don't care what network you're on lagøøn, you're probably on two yoghurt pots connected by a bit of string

whoa not trying to get dairy radiation all up in my nutsack bro

lol

I'm w/ tmobile directly I have the $50 a month unlimited plan

you should move to sunnyside and get tmobile we will be blood brothers

fwiw in nyc we call it yogurt

you dont need a cell phone you just yell HEY IM TRYINA WALK HERE

real talk

thanks for the tips all

there's a thread for that

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.

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.

what's the weather like in new york at the moment?

meh

it was really nice yesterday, it's overcast today

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.

thank you. in orbit, your answers are always really helpful - i would buy yr travel guide!

dr casino, i got a place through listings project, ~4 blocks from atlantic ave. i had to turn it down though (thanks a lot, us consulate in munich/obama!) good job i have columbia housing to fall back on. seems like with them i can send them an email the week before i arrive and they'll have sth.

still aiming for june 25 arrival, but who knows now. ugh.

i used to live four blocks (three blocks) from atlantic avenue

this girl did not have the haunted look i would expect from a former roommate of yours

i live three blocks from atlantic avenue... greene -> gates -> fulton -> atlantic.

i like it here.

there are bars in all directions.

this place was 4th and warren.

adam schefter and ghost rider used to live around the corner from there

good bars there too

:(
