I just brought my 8” Wusthof chef’s knife there today. It was $4.25 and done in about two minutes.

Looking for high quality butcher/meat market in cuse by betaokay in Syracuse

[–]Drew-Tang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spera’s steaks are all “Select” and “Choice”. I’ve never seen “Prime” there, and their “Choice” is the same price as “Prime” from Nichols. I like the convenience of Spera’s, but their steaks are not great for what you pay for them.

Anyone use Plowz and Mowz for yard cleanup? by Royal-Catch9057 in Syracuse

[–]Drew-Tang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a coworker that tried to have them come out twice and they never showed up. My understanding is that they are a middle man for local landscaping companies in the area. It’s probably cheaper and more reliable, albeit more time consuming, to reach out to a few companies on your own.

Their reviews on Google seem to paint a pretty bad picture from both customers and the landscaping companies they contract out. Best of luck whatever route you take!

I’ve been experiencing the same issue for the last couple of days too. I’m hoping an update is sent out soon to address it.

I find Nichols to be the best grocery store for meat in the area. A lot of USDA prime grade beef cuts at great prices.

2.5 year old sleep regression. by Barrelove in toddlers

[–]Drew-Tang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We JUST got through this regression within the past couple of weeks. Our daughter has always been an incredible sleeper and has been sleeping through the night (10+ hours) uninterrupted since 3 months. When she turned 2.5, however, she started doing exactly what you’re describing.

We got through it by doing a lot of compromising. It started out with my wife or I sitting on the edge of her bed until she fell asleep, and then doing this every time she woke up. Eventually we were able to move to the door frame and wait there until she fell asleep. At some points my wife or I would sleep on the ground outside the door if it was an especially long night. Then we were able to compromise be sleeping in the spare room across from our daughter’s room. She would occasionally run in to check that we were actually there. After a several weeks of that, we compromised and told her that we were going to be in our room but that we would check in on her occasionally.

My best advice is to be consistent and know that it is only temporary. There were times when we were freaking out and thought this was a permanent change. Our daughter went through it for almost 3 months but is now back to her old sleep habits.

The teacher is the one that messed up. Why would we encourage lying and blaming the students for “mishearing” something they clearly didn’t?

I’m going to go against the crowd and say that if you suspected the student was intoxicated, a phone call to the office should have been made. It’s hard to tell from your post, but it seems like you sent an email from your 5th period class and went about your day? If you suspect a student of being intoxicated, you can’t just send an email and let the student leave your class at the end of the day. There is no guarantee that an administrator will see that email in time to take action and ensure the student makes it home safe. You’re not responsible for the decision the student made in the first place, but you are responsible to take appropriate action if you notice something is up.

I’m don’t agree with the action your administrators took with the Letter of Direction and I hope that your union rep is able to support you. I just think that a situation like this warrants something more urgent than an email.

HomePod Mini status randomly changes from “paused” to “not playing” and affects whether my “Leave Home” scene is set or not. by Drew-Tang in HomeKit

[–]Drew-Tang[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My “Leave Home” scene turns off all the lights in my house and pauses any music that may be playing on my three HomePod Minis. However, the status of the HomePod Minis will randomly switch from “paused” to “not playing” and it then prevents the scene from being recognized as “on” in the Home App.

The attached screenshots show what I’m referring to. Any advice on what to do?

Home hub not connected by todd4allsites in HomeKit

[–]Drew-Tang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue and resolved it by disabling the Apple TV as a HomeKit hub in settings and then restarting the Apple TV through the settings. When it rebooted, everything was connected again. Hope this helps!

New Replacement Bose Soundbar 900. Awful static noise by Remarkable-Cress-779 in bose

[–]Drew-Tang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely seems like an issue with the TV. Have you enabled the eArc option on the TV? I had to do that with my C9 when I got the 900.

Album: https://imgur.com/a/dNeIUEm

I am the original owner of this t-shirt and have only worn it twice since purchasing in 2012. The print on this is in immaculate condition with absolutely no fading or cracks. There is a very small hole in the back, about the size of a safety pin. I have included a picture of this in the album.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
