I live very close to LGA and this doesn’t look like 2.7 inches to me at all. Haven’t been outside though

New York is the worst deal out of the group. Highest COL but lowest pay? Yikes. I love New York but I’d pick Seattle for the best balance between pay and experience.

Reply to The worst thing that happened to you while travelling in the NYC subway by Space_man128

I was on a train that hit someone. I felt the thump and when we grinded to a halt I immediately knew what had just happened. I felt sick.

I guess this isn’t the worst thing to happen to me but it’s the worst thing I’ve experienced.

I have one. Turns out they don’t work with the windows open.

My building is fine. No water hammer here.

None of that works on a cold day with the windows open though. We have a humidifier, but it’s pointless if you can’t seal up the room

I am STILL hearing conflicting info on this though. Some people say it’s fine to close it, just not fine to close it part of the way.

Last year I was getting nosebleeds from the 17% humidity we had with the heat on and windows open. My super was just like “shut the radiator off, no big deal” so that’s what we did. No water hammer.
