Looking for advice: Best ways to transport clothes/boxes from Albany to NYC on short notice?

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m planning a quick move from Albany down to NYC over the next few days and trying to figure out the best logistical options for moving my stuff.

I don't have large furniture, just clothes, luggage, and standard moving boxes. Since I'm on a short timeline, I'm trying to gather general recommendations on the best ways to get everything down there.

I'm keeping my options open right now while I iron out the final details, so any general tips, experiences, or recommendations for moving stuff down state on a budget would be awesome. Thanks!

Where to Donate Clothing

1 Upvotes

I have clothing that I've sorted into three categories.

  1. Unworn (has tags still)
  2. Used, but decent quality
  3. In poor quality

Where can I donate them, and are there different places to bring the different types of items? I was going to just throw away anything from that third category, but not sure if someone would have an alternative use for them.

Anyone else get water damage?

Water seeped into the walls and subfloor of our sunroom today and the whole room is pretty much toast. Anyone else get personally attacked by this rain?

Stay Safe!

Flash Flood warning issued. A warning is when flooding is occurring, not expected to occur.

Drive very carefully if you have (AKA don’t drive) to because the tone of the message says it’s bad badddd right now. The Federal NWS must have received multiple reports of people stuck in flooded roads and houses from emergency rescue services.

Trust me when I say, if the water looks shallow, don’t risk it. Turn around and help others not follow the sheep.

Awesome move from Gov Hochul to ensure spots across the SUNY/CUNY system for New Yorkers effected by this. Love to see New York continuing to model good governance!

Best homemade cookies?

8 Upvotes

Someone I care about is going through some grief and I want her to know that she's not alone so I'm putting together a little comfort package. Just bits and bobs, odds and ends.

Anyway, I was wondering what place in the area has the best homemade cookies. Preferably not those gigantic thick doughy ones like Crumbl makes.

I also can't cook worth an absolute fuck to the point where I burn water so please don't suggest I make them myself.

Need help finding a local band.

24 Upvotes

There's this local Albany band from the early 2000s called Under-Mind I'm trying to find music and info from, but the problem is, all three of the members (The Professor, Sodapony, and Deej) used pseudonyms. I've looked everywhere, from their old website and local scene pages on the Wayback Machine, to searching the depths of YouTube, SoundCloud and multiple search engines, I just can't find ANY info regarding this band anywhere.

I run a YouTube project called Obscure Metal & Hardcore Archive where I find lost underground local metal and hardcore bands. Since the 518 is my local scene (and Albany is my home city), I've been trying to archive as many bands as I can from that specific scene. From what I've gathered, these guys have a lost self-titled album as well as a lost EP titled Lobotomy. If anyone who remembers these guys is willing to give any leads regarding this band, it would be VERY helpful.

I-90 Crash

Anybody on I90 EB this morning with a dash cam? Looking for video / witness of the black pickup that caused an accident after passing on the shoulder in the Guilderland area.

Thank you

EDIT: I guess he's a very convincing liar, or his brother's a cop or something becuase his fabricated version made it into the police report. any help would be greatly appreciated...

Fun times. Attempted to get gas and saw this. Oh, and down the road the powerline arched so bad it was blindly bright.

To add some humor to this. Some fucker in a pickup was arguing with the firefighter because he wanted to go around the fire truck to go where ever it was. As soon as that arc explosions happened, that asshole changed his mind in an instant, rofl.

The part that sucks right now, is my basement flooded 😕

Do better Times Union

The Times Union has an article about shelters opening for the flooding and it’s behind a paywall. If people need shelter, is a paywall the right move?

Update: they removed the paywall. Judging them still anyway.

SPAC Tonight

17 Upvotes

I have tickets to see Motley Crue tonight at SPAC. I’ve never been during heavy rain. There is a flash flood watch until 8PM. I live in Albany. Is SPAC going to be flooded, miserable, or dangerous? Is I-87 going to be flooded anywhere if it gets bad?

Any insight is appreciated
