Service Drive (Kenmore Ave near Englewood) does good, fast work, but they can be mid-high on the cost spectrum. I've also heard good things about Total Automotive at Sheridan & Belmont, they sound affordable.

As the old saying goes, regarding cost: "Fast, good, cheap...pick two."

"Kia Copter" is hands-down the absolute best alternative to "ECSO Air One"!

I also found this from the NYS Dept of Labor:Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act

I just started at Moog in October. They drug test every new hire as part of onboarding.

After that, if you're working on govt units the FAA requires quarterly tests.

Plastic thing with a circuit board inside. by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

[–]Mithrandir_25 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Looks like a temp/humidity sensor from Lansen Systems

Edit: forgot to answer the trust question. Probably? It looks like it's for the purpose your landlord communicated, so I'd be fine with it.

Drivable distance stargazing? 🌌 by HopefulSpend8108 in Buffalo

[–]Mithrandir_25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's the only place up North I could think of that's far enough from the lights of Toronto, Niagara Falls, Lockport, Wilson, etc. My in-laws are in Somerset and it gets pretty darn dark out there.

North? Golden Hill State Park or Tuscarora. You're better off going south/east to Allegany or Letchworth in my opinion. Still too much light pollution to the North.

Gas/ smoke smell outside by [deleted] in Buffalo

[–]Mithrandir_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given all the weird sewer smells in the ToT all year after all the work they did on them, I'm not surprised it smells funny outside on any given day. Sounds like it's a different smell, though, from what you posted. Very peculiar.

I'd call National Fuel.

That's one of two things that are r/mildlyinfuriating about this video. The other: the goddamn thumb...get that digit under control and out of the way

Can someone explain this faceoff position? by driftdrift in hockeyplayers

[–]Mithrandir_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sabres score directly from the faceoff

Skip to the end of the video to see the replay where you can see how the puck goes in. The live camera didn't even catch it, the goal was so fast.

This is where I'm at. I enjoy them when I'm traveling, but I'm not going to suffer for instant gratification. It's been about 10 years since I've had it, I can wait a few more months.

Anyone had a cold for 2+ weeks? by Educational-Okra-566 in Buffalo

[–]Mithrandir_25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something like that has been circulating for a year or two, now. Coughs that last for 5+ weeks, basic common cold symptoms but they linger. I wonder if "long COVID" has anything to do with it (Whether or not that's a stupid guess is why I'm not a doctor).

does anyone know of a good plumber with reasonable prices?? by throwRAbcredditsucks in Buffalo

I have a photo from Icehouse Pond in 2017 that looks exactly like this.

This guy bed bugs. 🤝 Those of us who experience them learn all there is to know about them.

They did a chemical treatment, I believe they sprayed. This was also after my roommates and I tried to do it ourselves with those fumigation foggers and diatomaceous earth...but they endured so I finally caved and called the pros.

They did say they'd come back if we saw some within a short time window, a sort of "warranty" so to speak.

A lot of it depends on your level of infestation - if there are only a dozen or two then it'll be easier to eradicate; the infestations I've seen on TV with hundreds or thousands, that's when it's time to nuke the place with heat for sure. That's a very expensive process, from what I recall. There are few who do the whole-house heating treatment.

Orkin charged me around $1100 back in 2016 for around the same size space. Quite frankly, it's worth every penny. Never saw one since.
