No.
Forget dishwashers. Let me rant for a second about “kitchenettes.” You’re a landlord and you’re trying to rent out an apartment with a cube refrigerator that can barely even fit a gallon of milk? And you actually renovated the “kitchenette” and kept it that way?
No. Just… no.
And to the suckers who actually decide to become tenants in these places? Fuck...

How Your Nielsen Ratings Sausage Is Made →

sectionfive:
According to this article, 25,000 people are being polled for the ratings. That’s 1/4 of 1% of the 100,000,000 TV Households.
That’s not an accurate sampling. It sounds like a joke.
(via NewTeeVee)
It is a joke.
I’ll only agree with this if you also adhere to the opinion that every single political poll ever released is a joke. The sample size of Nielsen...

popquizkid replied to your post: Shocking: New York City landlords are cheap sons of bitches
Am I the only person in America who hates dishwashers more than washing dishes? If I was paying $25/mo more in rent cause there was a dishwasher in the place I’d have to cook fish in it or something just to feel like I was getting my money’s worth.
Yes, you are probably the only person in America who...
Shocking: New York City landlords are cheap sons...
I went to Ikea yesterday and saw how much a dishwasher costs.
If you’re renovating a kitchen to rent out to a new tenant, why would you NOT install a dishwasher? Even if you add labor to its installation, you can put a dishwasher in an apartment for less than $300. If you jacked up rent by $25/month, that would pay for itself. And God knows it would certainly boost the value of the...

I’m just putting this in writing, so we can all laugh about it on Wednesday.

“We started last year by overhauling how the MTA does business. We identified more than $525 million in recurring savings by consolidating back office functions into a new Business Service Center, reducing our administrative payrolls, cutting unnecessary overtime, and even convincing our suppliers to renegotiate contracts.”
“The emergency cost cutting we implemented in 2010...

Does the socially liberal part of you believe in funding federal programs and think that money comes from trees? Don’t tell me you’re a flat tax-er?
To be honest, I wasn’t really complaining about...

Boss (based in Atlanta): New York sucks.
Me: I only agree with that statement as it applies to local sports teams and the cost of living.
Barrington keeps schools open despite the snow →
Most of the mothers waiting to pick up their children at Barrington Middle School were relieved that the school year won’t drag on until the last days of June, when some families go away on vacation or begin their boating season.
Oh, the horror! Buffy and Spencer can’t miss boating season!

Move along, nothing to see here, just keep ignoring this whole climate change thing.

You forgot the part about the Sum 41 singalong- hah!
Whoa! How could I leave that out?! Easily the best part of the night not involving snow.
Why I reblogged Rachel's picture of the snow
I mean, I shouldn’t have to explain myself, but so far, Rachel’s picture is THE ONLY PICTURE OF THE SNOW ON MY DASHBOARD THAT WASN’T RUN THROUGH A STUPID FILTER TO LOOK LIKE SHIT.
Seriously, people. Stop with the Instagram. I like looking at pictures of white snow, not off-white snow.
My snowstorm story
I went to a bar at about 10:15 last night with Caroline and a friend of hers, and the snow was already coming down pretty hard. But we didn’t think much of it… we went to a subterranean bar and drank up some good beer.
A little while after they left, I ran into Katie, and we started to hear rumblings that the snow was pretty bad. We went upstairs to see that it was, indeed, pretty...

Yeah, Aaron, I’m sure they’ll get right on these stories! They’ll make for absolutely thrilling headlines and can easily be condensed into short-form pieces that the Post is known for.
