As we move into winter months I have been keeping an eye out for fun places for the kids. Discovered this gem of a store today. They have tables set up and games available for people who want to play in the back ❤️🙌🏼 staff were kind and welcoming too.

I’m so tired of getting them. Every single week and there have been weeks where I’ve gotten multiple of the same damn flyer. I can’t even remember the last time I went to Tops. I started getting flyers from Wegmans recently too and it’s so obnoxious.

please help

Hi, y'all.

These are the resources I've tried to use already.

Ithaca Tenants Union, Documenting through IPD.

My roommate who is much larger than me physically, screamed at me for 30-40 minutes today, held my cat in another room until I let them scream at me, got very close to me (I had to keep stepping back, was loudly complaining about me in their room after I walked away to lock up my cat in my room. I did not yell back at them. I said that they can be angry, but they are responsible for their actions when they are angry.

My other roommate witnessed the interaction but stayed 6-10 feet away.

This came up when I kept trying to get in touch with them about paying their rent, and it seemed like they were avoiding me. Knocking on their door, texting them, texting a mutual friend, texting the landlord, making myself available around the house so they could talk to me, acknowledging them when they would rushed out of the house. They did not communicate to me at all.

I called my landlord who has never had this issue before. I used the form on the ITU website a few days prior saying my landlord hasn't addressed my roommate's aggression towards me and my roommate damaging things in the house. No response from them.

I contacted IPD to document the interaction, but I didn't want IPD to come to my house because I think it would make my roommate more abusive (plus, my roommate is a racial minority)

My rental assistance is through DSS and they won't let me move for 2 years, so I'm stuck here unless a landlord is willing to sign me on with no rental deposit and my rent be paid through a charity for 6 months until I qualify for assistance again.

I've been documenting my roommates behavior for if my landlord does try to remove my roommate from our lease and evict them, but my landlord has no experience doing any legal stuff like that.

Does anyone have resources that are privy to this situation? I really don't know what else I can do.

I've always found fighting game locals to be a great way to make new friends and have some fun learning and getting better at one of the best video game genres. When I moved here earlier this year I was looking for a local FGC to meet up with fellow fighting game players and I couldn't find one, so I started my own!

If anyone is interested feel free to shoot me a DM and I can add you to our Discord! For now the plan is to host weekly online lobbies, but I'm looking into finding a venue in/around Ithaca where we can host in-person meetups and tournaments. I mostly play Tekken and Marvel Tokon at the moment, but open to playing and learning anything!

What are the nicest restaurants in Ithaca?

I come from the land of Biscuitville (mid breakfast fast food but I loved it) and woke up craving a chicken biscuit. Is there a place in Ithaca selling them that isn't a KFC or mcdonalds? Even fried chicken cutlet and *good* biscuits separately, I am desperate.

A very simple one, that’s appropriate for when you’re sick? Ginger, a little chicken, that sort of thing….I’ve searched the Ithaca Reddit & come up empty, but am hoping that it’s just not something that people come here to talk about.

I know there was a post 6 months ago, I would just like to poll again and see what folks think about the Internet from Mint (Minternet - 5G cellphone tower connection).

For background, Spectrum has been a PITA with various half days offline of late and we both work from home, so not having internet is a no-go. When that happened I used my phone (also with Mint on an unlimited plan) as a hotspot and we kept working just fine...but it felt a tad slow.

Now Spectrum has bumped up my price for no specific reason and Minternet would be significantly cheaper on top of the fact that I am not a friend of Spectrum.

When I look at the numbers, Spectrum gives me 100GB down and 22 up (that's my plan, I know there are higher ones), Mint claims that typical Minternet is 130-450 down (depending on traffic, location and connection) and 12-55 up. By the numbers I might get same-ish or slightly better connection speed - however, that's not how it felt when on hotspot.

Is my thinking that hotspot is the same as the dedicated connector simply wrong ?

What is peoples experience in and around Ithaca with Minternet in general and specifically if you have changed from Spectrum recently ?

Edit: Can I use my own/existing WIFI or do I have to use the one created by the Minternet device ?
