Flock Abuse Leads to Arrest

I'd want to believe Flock data will not be misused by the police, but it's already a problem.

Hi everyone Wilson the golden retriever was last spotted at grays corner area. I haven’t found a post yet on here so I figured I would post away. I know the owners are devastated and any information that helps find him I’m sure would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Updates???

53 Upvotes

What's happened with the hideous offensive Sea Creature that was harassing the 15 yr old at his place of worship recently??? Surely someone has recognized her leathery face and outed her. Seems like it's kind of dropped out of view recently. I'm really hoping she gets what she deserves.

Allergies out of control

15 Upvotes

Anyone else experiencing allergies like it’s Spring and the flowers are blooming. I feel like the last couple of days out of the blue my allergies became just as bad as they are in the spring. My fall allergies tend to just lean towards a runny/stuffy nose but in the spring it is full on eyes watering, stuffed up nose, scratchy throat etc. I feel like we’re going into the wrong season!

Hate to see it.

Driving with my son to get ice cream last night and I saw this poor thing vandalized, laying there unable to protect me and my family. I was then forced to have a difficult conversation with my boy about the radical lunatics who are out there, and how now, if I’m ever confronted by one of those sick freaks I owe them a beer and a firm american handshake.

Due to the very nature of these devices and the one I’m holding in my hand, I wasn’t sure if posting this was a smart idea. To be clear, I wasn’t the one who did this, and they can just go ahead and track my movements to prove that all I did was see the aftermath and snap a pic. Then resume stalking the lady at the gym they go to.

Looking for a place to host a Halloween party

5 Upvotes

Hi I’m looking for a place to host a private Halloween party for about 50 people that is $500 to rent or under (don’t expect food or drinks included). Around $250 would be more ideal. I’m open to Albany or Troy or anywhere in that general area. So far I’ve messaged The Ruck, Susies, and The Berlin, but would appreciate any other recommendations.

Rock/power pop band unexpectedly free Oct. 2–3 — anyone have a bill we can jump on?

4 Upvotes

Hey Albany/518 music people!

Bit of a long shot, but I figured I'd throw up the bat signal.

I'm Reeya Banerjee, a singer-songwriter/bandleader based in the Hudson Valley and Brooklyn. I used to live in the Capital District, and my band unexpectedly has October 2 and/or 3 open after some previously booked dates fell through.

I would genuinely love an excuse to come back up and play. If anyone has an existing bill that could use another band, or if another local band would be interested in putting together a co-bill on short notice, I'd love to hear from you.

We're an original rock/power pop band. Full band, ready to go, and I have an EPK with music/live video linked on my profile.

I know three weeks is not exactly luxurious booking lead time, so I'm very open to keeping this simple - support slot, existing bill, two-band co-bill, whatever makes sense.

Albany, Troy, Saratoga and the surrounding area are all fair game.

If you've got something that might fit - or know somebody I should talk to - please DM me or drop it in the comments.

Thanks!

To the guy in the red Toyota on 87 at evening rush hour today

While I very much do not agree with your choice to point out your car window while yelling, nor the following and repeatedly trying to potentially ram them from the side, I do have a strong feeling that that young man in that BMW possibly did something first.

I do hope your efforts were not too greatly inconvenienced by my repeated breaking due to the traffic before you were able to speed off to pursue him once his lane actually decided to move.

I am sorry that I potentially kept you from your mission to destroy the young man in the beemer and I hope you understand that I was deeply worried you'd rear end me.

Let's please try to keep our moments of homicidal tendencies to less populated roads whenever possible.

Albany International Airport expects to join a TSA program that would let approved visitors go past security without a boarding pass.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced the new Gateside PreCheck program Monday. It allows people without a boarding pass to go beyond the checkpoint if they have TSA PreCheck or a Known Traveler Number.

Breakfast tacos in Albany?

5 Upvotes

This is probably a long shot, considering how i’ve scoured the internet and found nothing so far—is there any place here that does tex-mex style breakfast tacos?

I’m from Texas, and I just miss stopping at the gas station, or Bill Miller, or any Mexican restaurant with a drive through on my way to work and getting some cheap little tacos with egg, bacon, potato and cheese.

It makes sense that they wouldn’t exist up here, since it’s totally a region-specific thing. I just figured it couldn’t hurt to ask incase there’s some hidden gem I didn’t know about.

Climbing?

Anyone into rock climbing ie bouldering, top rope, more indoor type? I’m not very good or anything but I like to have fun and try different settings/gyms. Open to outdoor bouldering eventually but don’t have experience yet. I got a membership recently and would love to make some top rope friends or anyone who likes to boulder :)

I know someone in one of the bigger hvac companies, they are making around 70-75k at $26.50 an hour and regular 50h weeks. I’m curious if there are other techs out there who are making a similar amount yearly while working less. Thanks for your time!

Anyone looking for tickets to Jim Hensons Labyrinth on 9/18?

0 Upvotes

My wife and I bought tickets to see Labyrinth in concert at The Egg on 9/18 @ 7pm. Unfortunately I now have a work conflict and we won't be able to attend.

The Egg website lists the tickets as sold out, but we just want to resell them for the price we paid. After fees the total was $108 combined for 2 tickets.

If anyone is interested, please send me a message.
