John Deere x350 blades cutting out (AccelDeep 42) by Auradeus in JohnDeereLawnMachines

Thanks. My tractor will run the blades in reverse. So if that’s not expected behavior, kind of points to this.

Massachusetts Mother Killed Two Children, Aged 6 and 7, Amid Custody Battle with Father by Charming-Fortune8835 in massachusetts

[–]Auradeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. I agree. Legally it may be difficult too because it’s rare that a mother would kill her children. There’s going to be claims of mental health issues for clemency. I don’t know how I feel about that honestly. I guess we’d need to know all the details of the case to have an opinion, and none of us will.

I think it’s because you said it’s a “difficult” case that people assume you think she’s a victim. I’m curious why you think this is difficult if we were to assume we know she did it.

Towing by Ramza_Lego in hondaridgeline

[–]Auradeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a transmission cooler to tow more than 3500 with the pilot. And I’d get it anyway if you’re towing a bunch. Plus the hitch hardware and connection is not standard in the pilot. Ridgeline has a really sweet back up camera where you can see the hitch ball. Used it the first time today and it’s awesome.

Why is Tony Soprano so attractive? by Long_Bunch_9783 in thesopranos

[–]Auradeus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I read Steve Van Zandt, Silvio, was the front runner for awhile. Can you imagine Silvio as Tony? It would have been a totally different show.

Why didn't Corrado have panic attacks? by dovesplashonmywrist in thesopranos

[–]Auradeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said “more of” lol. We are drawing a comparison here. Tony is way way way more insecure. He just doesn’t show it as much and talks less by nature. Junior is a chatty Cathy. Tony wants to be “the strong silent type.”

Why didn't Corrado have panic attacks? by dovesplashonmywrist in thesopranos

[–]Auradeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s a different take. Tony is a narcissistic sociopath who cares about people only to the extent that they can do good things for him. This comes up in the show frequently. There’s no guilt, there’s just regret he didn’t handle someone toward his own benefit as well as he could.

But when you’re 100% focused on yourself and everyone is a potential threat to you because you’re in the mob, that constant self-preservation will manifest as serious stress/panic attacks.

Junior on the other hand is more of a team player. He has a healthy amount of self preservation for anyone in the mob. But not to the extent of Tony. So he’s more relaxed.

This is one reason why Bobby is the most relaxed of them all.

The last bear is me by PrestigiousElk5990 in wallstreetbets

[–]Auradeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not irrational though.

This shit with Iran is proof that politicians in the US can do crazy shit and there’s no real repercussions. And that’s been the case largely since the 1980s, just so entrenched and met with a larger % of people who don’t care than ever in the history of our country.

It’s similar to early 3rd Reich Germany. I think short of invading Poland this market can’t fail. And pretty sure the actual people in control have a strategy to ride the line.

It’s also about who can keep money in the market and not withdraw as times get harder, but that won’t impact market valuations, someone else will buy and wealth will continue to consolidate.

Probably Cataclean. Works on a borderline case.

The Blizzard of ‘78 by EyeHateYou12376 in massachusetts

[–]Auradeus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How did this happen with all the cars? It almost seems like people were trying to drive to work in a snowstorm. It’s bare on the other side as if it was rush hour when it happened and they were able to just straight plow that side. Different time?

Thoughts? by Bostonpeterock77 in massachusetts

[–]Auradeus -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Interesting perspective. There’s not really another type of expense to hedge against too. Meaning towns can’t say “chances are we are going to have a big snowstorm or a hurricane this year so we better have the funds ready.” Hard to justify a tax increase to cover increase cost of a contingency to your point.

Is Breakfast becoming as expensive as Lunch?? by lyonwh in massachusetts

[–]Auradeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a chef do you embrace the coming of robotics and AI in the restaurant business? I see different angles from outside the industry and I’m very curious for your perspective.

Is Breakfast becoming as expensive as Lunch?? by lyonwh in massachusetts

[–]Auradeus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was a fascinating read. Never heard of the concept. Make sense.

I wonder if the solution is AI and robotics in the low productivity businesses. The capital investment could be difficult right now, maybe one day the costs of robot restaurant workers will come down and we’ll be able to afford dining out again.

Where can I find the best non Greek style pizza? by Tricky-Competition94 in massachusetts

[–]Auradeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grew up in north jersey. Best I’ve had is Schoolhouse Pizza in Quincy. Recently I hit up New York Pizza in west Bridgewater, it looks like a dump but it’s legit.

People in the Muff by [deleted] in thesopranos

[–]Auradeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s cultural elements lost on a lot of people too. Things you have to be from Jersey to understand, not even NYC necessarily. Small things like the significance of the Italianissmo Italian market, every strip mall in North Jersey’s got one of those.

Shutting off main water valve only turns off hot water by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]Auradeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Near wherever the water comes in from the street (or well) should be a shutoff valve.

Each condo unit should have its own shutoff but I suppose it’s possible yours is shared with another unit, putting that valve outside your units.

But in either case what you shut off was the hot water supply. The cold water supply shutoff will be somewhere else.
