I just checked it on Instacart: selection is poor compared to what I get elsewhere, and prices are lower only on some items, the rest is on par with ACME and Heirloom Market (which have a much better selection).

I also wouldn't be saving that much (I simply don't buy enough), so getting to Aldi (the closest one is way too far out) - my mileage will definitely vary.

I'ma stick to Instacart and local grocery stores.

How much is your time worth?

Bumming around for groceries several hours a week (add the stress of taking public transit and potentially shitty weather and who-knows-what) just to save a few bucks - I'd do the logistics and numbers first before committing to that, you may end up saving way less with time and travel factored in.

I did my numbers a couple of years ago, and I had everything delivered since (probably time to re-do it now, since prices gone up for quite a few things since, though).

> i just paid $6 for a dozen eggs at produce junction (usually it's $2.50 for 36!).

"Organic" ones are always that price; $2.50 for three dozen sounds like a fire sale for eggs that are about to "expire".

Once you are done exploring Center City spots - stop by Olive Garden at 14th and Chestnut for a meal.

They do.

I had to go there for an errand, and they almost didn't let me in, because my ID had a corner a little crooked, and the machine wouldn't read it on first few attempts.

LOL, no.

New in town/first time?

MSRE maintenance should be your first and last stop, since they are your landlord.

Keep blowing up their emergency line. Did you leave a message? They had dispatch back in the day that would take care of things on weekends/during holidays, but - touch wood - I didn't have to call it for years; otherwise it'd prompt you to leave a voicemail.

Do you have a phone number of the agent through whom you signed your lease (I had mine since day one)? Give them a call, they should have more info on how to contact maintenance.

Renter's insurance - do you have it? It could cover situations like that and have a hotel sorted out for you.

> I’d rent a hotel room and send them the bill.

That's what renter's insurance is for, and I am pretty sure they require tenants to have it (don't remember the lease terms from the top of my head, but I had it for years).

I am sure they are giving it a long and hard thought as we speak, since someone finally put their foot down about it.

Good call.

Over the years I've found that a lot of weather forecasts are not particularly accurate (especially for real time, especially the one on iOS, which is being replaced next year or so by the one I linked above), and a lot of TV weather people keep hyping it up to the point where you want to run to get bread and milk every time their face comes on.

I don't have co-workers whom I trust enough when it comes to weather forecast, but I rely on forecast.io, which is more accurate in my experience.

Snow or not, Friday night looks like a mess with snow/rain during the day and a rapid temperature decline in a matter of hours.

Stay frosty, y'all.

Are we still flattening the curve or what?

I can see that you tried real hard.

Don't know him personally, but what I heard was that he's an eccentric artist who is... far out.

Far Out Mitch?

Seen him semi-recently in Washington Square/Midtown area, no bike or dogs, though.

Nasty divorce? (Not speculating per se or justifying what's happened, but it could be an explanation/motive).

Key word is “direct”.

Let’s follow them investments all the way now, shall we?

No deer hearts - no sale.

(I'll give them a pass on gravlax).

Luckily not missing, but their delivery had the least amount of courtesy knocks (UPS, USPS, and especially DHL are much better about it, Amazon is second worst; I think it all depends on a driver), I try to avoid using it altogether, and when it's the only option - I ship package via FedEx for pick up to a local FedEx store (they keep it there for a few days).

Just heads up if you want to use the pick up: I had a medium size package (think a printer) sent to a UPS store, they charged me $10 for some bullshit hold fee, even though I picked it up hours after delivery was made. Could be anecdotal, but that surely caught me off guard.

Side note: given the delay with the paperwork, I’d suggest changing the name after the trip. You should have enough time, if you start the process even early next year, but why add stress to the timeline?

I’ll tune in at home.

There is only one thing and one thing only that I hate more than xenophobia in general and discrimination based on country of origin in particular: it’s the Dutch.
