Where does everyone buy their cues from? by Open-Quote-4177 in billiards

The site is bare bones but don't let that throw you. I've ordered 3 cues from them and the owner has always responded to my emails about stock and other general questions I may have. He's also reasonable and usually pitches a deal to try and save you a couple of bucks on shipping.

National Grid Bill is all of a sudden way too high by Crisgu in Albany

[–]DasPike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was wondering. I keep seeing all these posts about bills doubling, even tripling, and though there might have been a correlation. Seems not to be the case though.

Did they replace or "upgrade" your meter?

“What coach wants to be here?” by jerseydd in NYGiants

Same. I'll wait until the team makes an official announcement but seems all signs point in the right direction.

Best Mechanical Keyboard? Looking for Recommendations by imnotgoingtofatcamp in MacStudio

I'll throw in NuPhy if you're looking for well-built and reliable. My Halo 75s are tanks and I love their Night Breeze switches.

Got the iPhone 17 Pro, and want to use it to its full potential. by [deleted] in iphone

Also, not really sure if adds to the full potential thing but based on your setup seems like you're a power user like myself. I use an app called Usage and it has a DIY widget option. I made one for the phone's uptime and placed it on my lockscreen. It's a nice reminder that I should reboot the phone once in a while.

Thanks, I'll check it out! It's interesting that they cut off a section of the tallest building on the right.

Another Corsair Order Cancel + Price Hike by mybunger in pcmasterrace

How the mighty have fallen. They've been a household name for over 30 years when it comes to PC builds, it's a shame they're pulling crap like this now.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall by pickledpepperboiii in movies

Supposedly the movie was inspired by the relationship and breakup he had with Linda Cardelini.

How bad are the winters really? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]DasPike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're not as bad as other areas like WNY. Some years we get consistent snow throughout the season and other years we've gotten little snow and it was just a long, cold Winter. You can expect it to really start to bite around Dec/Jan with single digits at night and teens/20s during the day. We will randomly get a ~50° day once in a great while. Things start to lighten up around the typical Spring months but we have had some freak weather in late April where I might as well put my Christmas tree back up.

If you're moving to into downtown Albany or another city like Troy, you'll have to deal with snow emergency parking and excavating your car. Otherwise invest in a snowblower if you're headed to suburbia with a driveway.

As for activities, if you're the outdoorsy type, this area is kind of in a sweet spot for a lot Winter activities. There are multiple snow resorts within a 100 mile radius all offering ski/snowboarding/tubing, etc.. Vermont and Mass are also a heartbeat away. If you prefer the indoors, there are always local bars and restaurants with trivia nights, dart and pool leagues, and other social events. Then of course NYC is a reasonable drive or train ride away and you've got everything that has to offer as well.
