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.

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

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

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

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

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?
― 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.
