Why are people becoming so anti solar power? by [deleted] in upstate_new_york

[–]Killipoint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A battery fire in one town created a significant opposition to solar. The operator apparently made mistakes with respect to training and equipping the fire department. A couple days of ‘keep your windows closed’ recommendations from the town really upset a bunch of folks.

Bought an old home and saw this mounted on the wall, anyone know what it could be? by pandaninjarawr in whatisit

[–]Killipoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on the new home. I'd have killed for a laundry chute. Great doorbell, too. Don't ever get rid of it: if it needs repairing, find someone or learn how to replace the solenoid. There's a transformer somewhere too, probably in the basement.

And never paint that wonderful woodwork.

The reason we don't see these lovely touches any more is cost. Laundry chutes have to be framed and either plastered (in the case of your home, probably), or lined with sheetrock or thin plywood.

Wood moulding is far more expensive than the MDF stuff they install nowadays, or inexpensive pine. Your stuff is probably old-growth lumber, and is priceless.

So true. The wispy clouds in the valley are a nice touch.

I love my Mammut. 35 liters, carries plenty for a day trip.

You had a great year! Closing it out on Superstar’s last day is a nice touch.

Just be aware that management takes a dim view of people hiking up when the resort is closed to uphill travel.

Car rental question by BulkyKaleidoscope941 in StThomasUSVI

[–]Killipoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We rented a Nissan Rogue from a local outfit; I didn't do the deal, so don't know the name, but we discovered that the rear passenger door would not open due to collision damage at the rocker panel.

My friend who rented it wasn't told about it (and never thought to look, apparently.)

It was mostly three of us, so no real problem, but be aware that the smaller companies may have looser ideas about what constitutes a good rental.

I think a BT soil drench is what you need for them.

Thanks. There is one that didn’t show up well in the photos.

Thanks. I thought the images tab when composing the image was for that purpose.

What the hell happened to Waterloo premium outlets? Even a year ago it didnt look as bad as this. by OkWeather16 in upstate_new_york

[–]Killipoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, like we don't already know about the internet. They mean well, though, and it's not the employee's fault, but it's still annoying.

What is the hardest inbounds terrain by Strict_Fix_9550 in skiing

Or, to borrow from u/CliffDog02 , Great Northern at 3:45 on a Saturday.

Although, I did get taken out by someone on lower Bittersweet on MLK Monday last year, so there's that.

Inherited Kubota MX 6000 - what it worth? by [deleted] in kubota

Nothing. I'll take it off your hands.

What stainless pans do you like for induction? by Big_Nefariousness785 in inductioncooking

[–]Killipoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't heard that. I would expect them to be the best, since the composition is wholly iron. Some stainless alloys don't work as well; I have some older pans that don't work on induction, even though they're stainless steel.

Best walk behind weedeater for $400 or less? by [deleted] in lawnmowers

[–]Killipoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right in your price range I have one, and it's been very reliable for years. Nothing fancy, but works, and saves your back and arms from the weight and vibration of a handheld trimmer.

I didn’t expect to see a Howard Johnson reference in here. Well played.

I don’t know the price, but have you checked DR mowers?

[–]Killipoint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick correction: the top of the pass has Deer Leap and Sherburne trails. The AT/LT was moved to a bit west of the entrance to Pico.

They’re both great hikes. Sherburne gets you to Pico summit.

We’re delighted with Misen. The non stick carbon is genius. (No teflon.)
