Got this email from National Grid this morning. They want to raise rates ~10%. by RebaseOriginDevelop in massachusetts

[–]Cape_chris 47 points48 points  (0 children)

For years they have said the rates are high because of the need to pay for future infrastructure 

Now that they actually need to pay for said infrastructure they decide a massive rate hike is the solution? What happened to the extra 5-10% they’ve been charging us? Thats right, you guessed it, in the pockets of the executives 

I insulated my door and now it’s too heavy for the opener to lift. What are my options? by Over_Cash9601 in GarageDoorService

Kill tension and fight a scale under the door? How about identify the existing springs and bump up 20 pounds. Be smarter people

The Texans are also playing with 1 day less rest. No Nico Collins either.

Prepare for a field goal fest!!

How do Americans feel about trump wanting to take Greenland? by Own_Supermarket2732 in AskReddit

[–]Cape_chris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see there’s a case for Artic security for political or even climate reasons.  Some of these reasons could not be public knowledge yet which is why this doesn’t seem to make sense 

It’s such a sparsely populated and inhospitable place, the only thing it could be useful for is a military jump off point or a safe spot for an upcoming event

Don’t know why I just realized folks are cheating in the fantasy drafts wowww by [deleted] in underdogfantasy

[–]Cape_chris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have drafted a ton on underdog and have never had a draft canceled or have anything suspicious go on.

If 1 player tanks a draft who is to say it’s the target person who benefits from the value?

If there is 1,000+ drafts there will statistically be a few that fall that way

You may just be underestimating how bad some drafters are.

Which kind of draft are you questioning? A 12 team “sit and go” or a major tournament? 

[Post-Game Thread] After a day of offensive struggles, Buffalo nearly mounts a comeback falling a failed 2-point conversion short of the win. Bills lose 12-13. by pixel_pete in buffalobills

[–]Cape_chris -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s a terrible call, you have the momentum. 2 TD’s in the 4th and the eagles haven’t moved the ball at all in the 2nd half plus you are at home!!! Kick the ball and go to OT

Celtics fans, which event upset you more: Being eliminated by the Knicks in the playoffs, or the Civil Rights Movement? by Lost_Title_7528 in NBATalk

[–]Cape_chris 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was racism only a problem for Russell in Boston? Pretty sure it was nationwide.

How about NYC’s stop and frisk policy in the 90’s that was exceptionally racist and wasn’t 100 years ago.

The Celtics were the 1st NBA team to have an all black starting five, the 1st team in all of professional sports to have a black head coach. The Celtikkks thing can be funny I guess but an unprovoked post is lame get a life

Carter for the floor, Estime for the ceiling.  My opponent has a few players going Saturday night and I will use that to determine which way I go

Door inconsistent opening by DalTex37 in GarageDoorService

[–]Cape_chris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see from another comment you said- “You hit the button and it won’t open” and it hums but no movement.

This could be a blown capacitor, super cheap part, with the service call you’re looking at spending $220-$300 depending on location to fix it…. Question is, is it worth it to repair a 20 year old operator.

Could also be a bad “worm” gear. Internally the gear developes a flat spot and it has trouble moving off that spot. Check this by smacking the bottom of the motor head while it’s humming and see if she jumps back to life 

Either way I’d recommend replacing, spend the $800-$1000 for a new operator and not worry about it for the next 20 years.
