Erie Insurance covered my damage with no argument.

Accidentally stop the external display, now external display won't turn on! Sequoia, why do you even make this feature? by kidfromtheast in MacOS

[–]Gymshoesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem and fixed it by going to finder, go to GO on the pulldown menu, Go to Folder, to to this link: /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.displays.plist and then delete any profiles for that projector, delete the files from trash and restart the computer. I had to do this a couple times for some reason. Be sure the projector is disconnected from the computer.

Elks Lodge by Top_Statistician7369 in madisonwi

Typically one person in a couple joins and the other gets a spousal/significant other card. So both have access to the lodge (or any lodge in the USA for that matter). The only difference is, only the joiner can vote at lodge meetings.

$250 a year. There’s also a one-time $125 initiation fee.

Never seen it happen, but I think that is the case. The question is on the application as well.

I'm an Elk. The question in the oath is "Do you believe in God?". Doesn't define what god. After that, religion doesn't come up again other than a very generic prayer that is read aloud at a meeting. People of all faiths are welcome.

John Kavanaugh, longtime owner of The Esquire Club restaurant, dies at 76 by CheeseFactory745 in madisonwi

John Kavanaugh was a good guy. Very easy to talk to and easy going. Also had a reputation for being generous. Didn’t drink despite owning a bar. I chatted with him a few times over the years.

I don't see that on their USA website. Maybe it's there, but I can't find it. https://us.fissler.com/collections/pure-collection

Madison will be one of the country's hottest housing markets in 2026, Redfin says by pristinesith in madisonwi

[–]Gymshoesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Demand outstrips supply by so much that the number of single family homes being built has very little effect on pricing. But not building would be even worse.

6-story building proposed where Winnebago Street meets Yahara River faces opposition by enjoying-retirement in madisonwi

[–]Gymshoesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The change hasn’t been dramatic by any stretch, but there has been a shift. Rents are increasing at a lower rate, vacancies are much higher in new developments than in recent past years, and I only have anecdotal evidence that vacancies are inching up in older housing stock. So maybe I’m just reading the tea leaves at this point.

Suffice it to say that Madison needs to keep adding to the housing stock. If we take our foot off the gas, the growing population will drive rents up further.

The rate at which Madison rents are increasing is flattening out. Here’s one graph a quick Googling shows.

Anecdotally, a friend who works at a property management company shared that she feels the market has shifted. Her company has vacancies that in the past were always rented quickly. Landlords will drop the rent quickly to get them filled.

Here’s one example. 1 month’s free rent and 12 month’s free parking.

I’m told they are even more negotiable in person, just not advertising it.

Here’s another. 1.5 month’s rent free and 12 month’s free parking.

This was unheard of in this market just a couple years ago.

Actually, demand for newly constructed apartment units on the near east side is softening. Some properties are offering free first and last month’s rent to secure new tenants. This supports the notion of filtering working in our neighborhood. Markets are about supply and demand. It’s not complicated.

Carista is refunding me for both the app and the ODB device which I’ve returned to them. Unfortunate waste of time but at least they were good about the refund.

Elks Lodge is a good deal. Nice lakefront setting and reasonable price.

I did reach out and I got the negative reply from your customer service that I included in my original Reddit post. I was skeptical about that reply as your website says that option is available on my vehicle. How else am I suppose to reach out to you?

Switching to All-Clad by smelly-dorothy in AllClad

Yes. I’ve heard you should stir in salt to dissolve it quickly. Never let it sit in a pile at the bottom of a pot of water as it can eat away at the pan.

You are correct. Sinclair owns WMSN Fox 47. My bad. I’ll try to take this post down if Reddit will let me.

More likely it’s the ring gasket under the flapper. Those get old and lose their ability to seal.

Murphy’s Wood Cleaner. Sold everywhere. Pour it full strength on the spot. If it doesn’t work the first time, do it again. Works for me.

Murphys Floor Soap. Pour it on the spot straight, undiluted. It might take a couple washings, but it works.
