your options are living in that target or living in the barclays center, they both have their pluses and minuses

Irish people are eligible for the green card lottery fwiw.

Yeah, I think the next round is for 2015 entry. The odds aren't as bad as you might think tho.

im like a 15 minute walk from atlantic

max, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:40 (eleven years ago) link

long commutes are underrated, if you have no transfers or only an across-the-platform transfer its a nice way to read

max, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:40 (eleven years ago) link

yeah that's my plan

caek, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:41 (eleven years ago) link

long commutes are according to science worse than hitler

lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:42 (eleven years ago) link

long commutes are the worst, you have like an hour less of your day and you aren't getting paid for it

iatee, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:43 (eleven years ago) link

, if you have no transfers or only an across-the-platform transfer its a nice way to read

unless you live on the F and hardly ever get a seat.

i will play devils advocate and say a short commute kinda sucks because you cant really get any reading momentum going in 10 min, also the f train does suck

乒乓, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:49 (eleven years ago) link

man, my 10 min commute sure does suck. it sucks a lot, having such a short commute

乒乓, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:49 (eleven years ago) link

let me tell you what sucks, it sucks when your commute is only 10 min long

乒乓, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:49 (eleven years ago) link

walking commute is the best obvs

lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:49 (eleven years ago) link

walking commute is living the dream, it only sucks in that you probably won't have it some day

iatee, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:51 (eleven years ago) link

i decided i am going to walk today, it takes about 32 minutes... one minute shorter than living on top of atlantic station and going to columbia ; )

乒乓, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:52 (eleven years ago) link

most of my commute is on an overground train so I just look at ilx or blogs, like my post upthread was a commute post

iatee, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:52 (eleven years ago) link

commutes would be 100x better if they had 3g/lte underground like SOME CITIES do, it's true

乒乓, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:53 (eleven years ago) link

you should make yr job pay for yr commute cause you just do the same stuff anyway xp

lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:54 (eleven years ago) link

I have to choose btwn bus, tram or cycle every morning for my 15 min commute it is sheer hell

caek, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:57 (eleven years ago) link

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

caek, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:58 (eleven years ago) link

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

caek, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:59 (eleven years ago) link

live on roosevelt island; commute by tram

mookieproof, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 15:18 (eleven years ago) link

update: did not realize the extent to which it is raining outside, will commute for 10 minutes instead

乒乓, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 15:20 (eleven years ago) link

lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 15:26 (eleven years ago) link

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

caek, Monday, 18 March 2013 16:06 (eleven years ago) link

yes

乒乓, Monday, 18 March 2013 16:07 (eleven years ago) link

I live in sunnyside!!

it is an okay commute, not ideal but not life ruining

iatee, Monday, 18 March 2013 16:08 (eleven years ago) link

well idk thats where iatee lives u should ask him

乒乓, Monday, 18 March 2013 16:08 (eleven years ago) link

where exactly is the apt

iatee, Monday, 18 March 2013 16:08 (eleven years ago) link

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

moving vinyl

dmr, Thursday, 21 March 2013 16:36 (eleven years ago) link

cross ocean : (

caek, Thursday, 21 March 2013 16:44 (eleven years ago) link

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.

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)

caek, Sunday, 24 March 2013 15:06 (eleven years ago) link

goes back and forth but it's definitely been improving

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.
