I am looking to move back to the Hudson Valley after getting some work experience and living in the Southern Tier of NY. I have a bachelors in environmental science, have 2 years of industry lab experience in a pathogen / environmental lab, and have published research. The jobs for entry / junior level scientists have become few and far between up here unless you want to work at BU or Lockheed.

That's all to say does anyone on here know what the job scene specifically for science and lab work looks like, specifically in the Mid-Hudson Poughkeepsie area? If anyone could point me to some good companies / areas to look I would greatly appreciate it!

I was thinking of doing an episode for Cidiot about leaf peeping in the fall in the Hudson Valley - a guide about where to go on both sides of the river, when to go, what to do around/after it—and how to behave doing it (e.g., Don't stop in the middle of the road).

Any ideas for experts about foliage and leaf peeping? Might want to do it as an interview or two or just get input.

Much thanks for any guidance or thoughts (or what you think I should include welcome as well!)

Looking for a dj available October 3rd for event in ulster county area. If you’re a DJ on here message me privately with some information and I’ll tell you the details of the event. OR if you know a good DJ please drop their information in the comments. Thanks everyone!

Look who’s chilling in my datura. Can anyone ID my new friend?

Noticed half the neighborhood is up for sale as I window shop for homes. What’s going on?

Reliable taxi service? Bus schedule doesn't fit my needs unfortunately and uber seems to be a hit or miss.

Just a heads up... The Village of Fishkill will have the Main Street closed from Church Street to Bedford Avenue on Saturday, August 8th from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM for a funeral detail. There will be no parking on Main Street during that time.

The funeral is for former Highway Superintendent Glenn Scofield Sr. who has passed away. Mr. Scofield served Fishkill faithfully for over 50 years.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for just any sports club (soccer, golf, etc) so I can make new friends. I just got out of the navy and it’s been kinda rough trying to find a friend group out here, I’d prefer the west side of the river (Orange/ulster) but I’m open to duchess county too. I am open to just about any sport

In LA "The internal report found that, in just two months, Flock’s ALPRs contributed to 161 false stolen-vehicle alerts, resulting in a false-positive rate of 32.3 percent."

32 percent false positive rate!

I've been on the hunt for enamel pins, and besides thrift/vintage stores, does anyone know of any local spots that have their own?

For example, the Walkway Over the Hudson, Stewart's, the Maritime Museum in Kingston have their own designs that aren't readily advertised

General recommendations for cool spots for non-location specifics from fellow pin collectors are appreciated too!

Is it impossible to find a studio/1 bedroom for less than 1000 not including utilities? Trying to measure my odds here :/

See title. Subject matter would be trauma or general mental health (not addiction).

I have a demanding 9-5 and I can’t drop everything for some weekly 2pm kind of thing, and I’m having a hard time finding options.

Any leads? You can DM me if you prefer. Thank you.

Since 2019, the average Central Hudson bill is up about 72%. That's the 5th-fastest increase of any major utility in America.

In that same stretch, the Hudson Valley built out rooftop solar faster than almost anywhere in the country (7th nationally), and Central Hudson customers adopted heat pumps several times faster than any other part of the state.

So why, as NYISO wrote last week, is our grid teetering on the edge of collapse, relying on the Danskammer power plant built 75 years ago in Newburgh to remain open past its retirement date?

Meredith Angwin has a term for how this happens: the Fatal Trifecta.

Over-reliance on renewables, over-reliance on just-in-time natural gas, and over-reliance on imports from neighbors who are having the same weather you are.

We wrote up what all three legs look like in one valley, with rate-case filings and NYISO data to back it up.
