Why I hate capitalism, part one million. Developer barfs up yet another cookie cutter apartment building on the block, and then the very next thing they do is block the sidewalk with a (heavy! Like 75 pounds!) sign for their shitty cookie cutter apartment building. This is why I need to start carrying those big fat permanent markers.

I swear to god I’m not a Knife Guy but nevertheless this is kind of the perfect knife (for me). For those of you who are Knife Guys: it’s the Boker Urban Trapper Petite. And yes I’m enjoying imagining all the Urban Trappers in Brooklyn out checking their traps for rats and squirrels or whatever.

Anyone need a perfectly good 15-year old GE compact stackable electric dryer? Its washer sibling is dead & the needed part is both back ordered and really expensive, so we have to replace the washer (probably this weekend). The dryer is fine but they live in a closet and must be stacked. Not really interested in precariously stacking with another make/model/brand, so the dryer will be replaced too. HMU if you’re in the market for an ultra cheap reliable used electric dryer!

Do you work at a restaurant that uses @toasttab for mobile ordering? Have you noticed your tips falling off over the past few months? Several times in the past few months I have placed an order and accidentally not tipped because @toasttab stuck this giant MasterCard ad onto the screen between the total and the tip options, and my brain didn’t think to scroll down to look for the tip buttons. I have tried to make it up next time if I remember, but just FYI: from a usability perspective, @toasttab has traded a partnership with MasterCard for your tips :(
