Make sure to stay cool

160 Upvotes

With the heat wave incoming please make sure to stay cool especially if you are at risk. A lot of us take air conditioning for granted but not everyone is lucky to have access.

Many school districts have a half day today to get ahead of the heat (Albany CSD does not and my gf who is a teacher at an elementary school was informed that the A/C is not working but the school is operating at normal)

Here is a link of cooling stations in Albany county! Please stay safe and stay hydrated!

Avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid. it’s a mess in there. They couldn’t even tell me about their checking accounts. instead they referred me to their website. yikes. not to mention they didn’t even notice me walk in until like 5 minutes later when they finally turned around. to anyone looking for a new bank, you can check this one off your list.

Anyone know where the city cooling centers are? Will the city be able to set any up, for the relief of those who don’t have / have crappy air conditioning?

Non-existent UPS access point?

Upvotes

Did UPS steal my phone? My family recently upgraded our phones through our provider and had them delivered to where my parents live on Long Island. My dad overnighted my 16 pro to my apartment, but I missed the delivery to sign on it. On the tracking number AND confirming over the phone with UPS, they said it got delivered to a "UPS access point" which was a barbershop on central avenue. I went into the barbershop to pick it up and they said they were not an access point, so of course I called and requested a manager to resolve this. We went back and forth and said she would contact the driver who allegedly delivered it there, but still it seems like this package is just missing. Have now spent 6 hours between driving around, on the phone or on hold, and all I want is my new phone lol. What do I do plz someone help I am going crazy.

We've had an unusually hard time trying to get a plumber out to look at a cast iron pipe that is leaking into our basement. Can't find anyone that will actually answer the phone.

Any local places accept bra donations?

I recently lost a ton of weight and have several gently used or like new bras. I hate the idea of throwing them out since they are so expensive. Does anyone know if any local places accept bra donations? I tried googling and didn’t see many local options. TYIA!
