milk prices seem to have just spiked higher.
hopefully it's temporary maybe having to
do with the deep freeze we had northeast.

it's a great song, my guess all the between note
slides she employs to sing it is what upset him.

global warming makes the polar jet stream oscillation wider
leaving nyc more likely to pull warmer air from the south

than push colder air down from the north.

> on October 3, 2022. Most larger buildings (>10 units)
were automatically sent a starter compost bin,
which within a week mostly and mysteriously disappeared.
i wish you people would admit forcing buildings to comply
will not work as well as simply hosting more robust bins
in our city parks, and get the parks department on board
instead of wasting money on flimsy owner hidden bins.
zoning laws in queens force parks in residential areas
making it the perfect place for a dept that is already
dealing with compost collection of leaf litter each fall.
i would much rather deposit a gallon container twice a
week in a nearby park, then play where's the bin now
games with lazy odor.bug.rodent fearful building staff.

i'm looking forward to part 2.
keep up the dissemination, reddit.
i found part 1 interesting as it's
very similar to ariel sharon's rise to pm.

it's nice for that dreary part of brooklyn
and small quad has that old classic look,
but the rest is unremarkable. the west side
of Bedford used to be an open track & field
that's gone now, replaced by some modern
boring utilitarian building and sterile sqare.

no, that's what absentee ballots are for,
you should have applied for weeks ago
if you knew you would not be "home".

just like questions should be /r/AskNYC
covid psa's and rants should be /r/nycCoronavirus/
covid threads in general subs attract too much disinformation.

here you can at least see what your ballot will be like;

then google the names if you don't vote a party line.
no candidate will ever seem perfect for anyone,
so think - lessor or two evils...

just a rant, no need to respond.

so last month all the queens coops i live around got those
brown compost bins for people to deposit their kitchen scraps.
so i bought my own 1gal bin and special 1gal green cornmeal bags
as my cooking generates about 1gal of produce scraps each week.
today my bin is full, i tie up the baggie and then go for the city bin.
they are all gone, not a single building has them out anymore.
my guess is private coops don't want to have to deal with them.
i finally found one in front of a laundromat 6 long blocks away
and it was half full of paper waste.
i'm so depressed nobody bothers to participate in this program.
it's typical greenwashing how the city wastes money on poorly
executed programs to score political points and nothing improves.
i filed a complaint with 311 parks department to suggest they put
these brown bins in the parks somewhere people in surrounding
buildings can then bring their scraps to. parks already deal with
leaf litter waste separately, so compost should not be a stretch.
this anecdote only goes to show you that people will not save the
planet unless they are paid(savings) or legally compelled to do so.

how?
i have not found a single old paint removal technique - that actually works.
stonecats t1_it4m1bc wrote
just venting my frustration. every method to strip decades of latex paint (not sure what else is mixed in under there) off my old 1" thick plaster walls has failed, so i'm just going to skim coat everything - fuk it. just bummed such a common problem has no reliable solution (trust me, i've tried them all... pastes, sprays, deglazer, peel paper, googone, krudcutter, citrus. heat gun, steam, scrapers). someone told me i should blame it on OSHA because your grandfather's toxic paint removers were a lot more effective than all the "safe and natural" stuff they sell now...
