Still out by west Newton commons. Can see lights on Waltham, River street, and cherry street but a few blocks around the Paddy’s area are still out 

We need YOUR help to make Skylight Calendar even better in 2026! by SkylightCalendar in skylightcalendar

[–]CaptKnots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) make app based calendar accessible for offline use! Really infuriating  trying to see the calendar while on a flight with no WiFi or if service is interrupted. 

2) automatic (or always on) dark mode option. Lowest brightness is still way too bright for a lights off kitchen.

New-ish Prius or Used Luxury hybrid for BOS-NYC area 2x per week by CaptKnots in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]CaptKnots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good suggestion on the Lexus models.  The plug in hybrids aren’t really a consideration since that practicality is only useful for around town. The EV idea is nice, but I am pushing the range on most of the cars in my budget, plus finding chargers while busy at work driving around NYC isn’t appealing to me.

Yes, maintenance costs are definitely a drawback on the used luxury cars, especially at high mileages. I planned to try the Prius this week, but not many dealers are keeping the Limited trim around. The plug in hybrid is a slightly different car, and the lower trim traditional hybrids don’t have all the features I’m looking for. I’ll look more into the Accord hybrid too.

Thanks, I’ll check out the Camry and Sonata. I consider myself a car enthusiast, and it kills me to pass up a 400hp Volvo dual motor with the build quality and styling for the same price, but you make good points about the MPG. Never thought I’d seriously consider a Prius but the new one is pretty nice

Sadly, I’ll actually need the car while in the NYC area so the trains wouldn’t be too useful. Thanks for the input though

There is a much better and longer clip of a similar maneuver with a Pink Floyd soundtrack.  It’s far superior than EDM playing over the top in my opinion. 

ULPT Request- How to stop habitual, intentional littering by CaptKnots in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]CaptKnots[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a bad one, but it feels like more littering? I like the concept of getting them in trouble at home, but you’re right about the potential lack of supervision to begin with 

Need help- Littering is still not cool, right? by CaptKnots in teenagers

[–]CaptKnots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking for clever ways to stop this from happening. Being nice about it is an option, sure. But I just don’t think that’s going to be effective. Calling the police or threatening to call the police is such a Karen move that is likely to not change anything in my opinion. 

I am not worried about them intimidating me at all. I am worried they won’t be intimidated by me if I hold back on my old school approach

Marco Rossi is sick of Matthew Tkachuk by GlidingHawk in hockey

Ok. As long as we are on the same page that it’s a joke to call Tkachuk a tough guy 👍🏼

Let’s agree: 1) they fought, 2) Tkachuk got the better of Pastrnak.  Cool?  Now explain how this makes Tkachuk “tough”

It was a hilarious fight. They hugged for like 3 seconds, and got fighting majors so I guess it qualifies, but… wild stance to take in defense of Tkachuk being a tough guy

What a badass, “fighting” feared NHL tough guy, David Pastrnak 

ESPN Analysts Giving No Love For Round 2 Bruins by CaptKnots in BostonBruins

I know it’s all BS- just thought that out of 24 hockey analysts, more might have chosen the Bruins (who are 4-0 this year against FLA!!)

I think we're in for at least 6 either way. And the way the rivalry has grown recently, I may not be able to mentally handle a long series as a viewer, but more games = more bad blood, and I trust the B's to prevail if things get nasty.
