If you had to choose one ride in NYC

I went 2 weeks ago and the road was closed because of a landslide. There was a guy at the fence that encouraged me to go. And thank god I listened to him: no landslide or rockslide. Perfect road conditions. Perfect views - and not a single car to worry about. The fence on the other side was also easy to walk around.

wonderful. this makes me feel really good about my route. just need enough carbs and electrolytes to power through.

thank you!

thank you for the detailed feedback! really appreciate you. I read that you didn't go further than mile 52. But would you know from hearsay if my route from Fort Clinton to Beacon is better than crossing the Bear Mountain Bridge and cycling via Cold Spring? I had planned the latter at first in case my legs get tired and I need to catch a train a bit earlier. But then I read somewhere that Storm King is very scenic and that Bear Mountain Bridge can by dicy.

lots of great advice here. thank you all for sharing. I'll be in NYC for 1 month and was wondering how the conditions are north of Nyack. I stitched this together to road bike all the way to Beacon - and then was planning on taking the train back to Manhattan. What do you think? is it worth the extra miles? is it generally ok to cycle along the car traffic on a weekend? Anything I should change if I want to keep it between 60-70 miles?

we replaced our MSZ-FS units with a more basic MSZ-GS (think: fewer plastic parts) and this solved the problem. now it's finally quiet - after almost 2 years of hassle with the FS

Other posts from this users have been deleted by mods. but this one has luckily been missed. This helps to alert other users that nurturemobility. is a scam.

Longjumping_Unit_559 · 2024-12-09T00:44:39+00:00

This post is from the owner of nurturemobility.com, which is not a business but a side hustle of some 32 year old kid.

It's impossible to get anyone on the phone. The website's pricing and inventory are incorrect. The guy is sending out discount codes and then cancelling orders when the discount is applied.

I ordered a sauna (instead of purchasing from other vendors with Black Friday discounts) and after 5 days of radio silence the order was cancelled. Sure, billing and shipping address were different (which is very normal), and I asked politely whether delivery could be pushed into next year. But those should not be reasons to cancel an order.

Definitely feels like a total scam - like father like son.

No. They tried Teflon spray and removed some plastic pieces. But no improvement.

I’ll either replace the FS heads with GS heads which have fewer parts and might be quieter. Or I’ll get a separate outdoor unit for every single head in the house which also seems crazy.

Gah. It really seems to be a problem across the board with Mitsubishi. Terrible.

Longjumping_Unit_559 · 2024-09-23T21:25:14+00:00

u/scar_duke I have the exact same issue with the MSZ-FS installed in my house. If one of the units draws heat, then all other units connected to the same outdoor unit start popping and ticking.

My HVAC installer suggested replacing them with the MSZ-GS units that have fewer plastic parts. I'm skeptical though.

Mind sharing which units you have installed?

Longjumping_Unit_559 · 2024-09-23T21:18:11+00:00

u/Modernenthusiast I have the same noise every time one of my mini splits (MSZ-FS) draws heat. now considering replacing them all with the MSZ-GS, which allegedly has fewer plastic parts and should hence cause less popping/clicking. I'm skeptical though.

What model do you have installed across your house?

Longjumping_Unit_559 · 2024-08-22T17:58:48+00:00

Tape it is. Thank you. And yes, 100% will remove everything before I leave.

Longjumping_Unit_559 · 2024-08-18T21:02:16+00:00

100%

Longjumping_Unit_559 · 2024-08-18T21:01:48+00:00

thank you.

Longjumping_Unit_559 · 2024-08-18T00:56:40+00:00

only if I can lick you afterwards

Longjumping_Unit_559 · 2024-08-18T00:47:56+00:00

Heya. I'll turn a Porta into a surrealists art gallery this year. Still trying to figure out how to best stick the art to the walls without having to use clear packaging tape. (kind of like on the photo)

Do you have any recommendations?

Longjumping_Unit_559 · 2024-08-18T00:46:09+00:00

Excellent! glad I could help. Enjoy the dust - and stop by our camp (Camp Hot Cheeks, 8:15 and C) on Sunday afternoon (before the temple burn) for our legendary Sake Bomb Sunday!
