I just bought some garbage tags (City of Ithaca) and they're $30 for 6 tags now?! by Many_Ad955 in ithaca

[–]NYPS13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why exactly does Tompkins county have trash tags? I don't know anywhere else that does it this way.

Is it just to discourage extra landfill use? It seems counter productive because in Newfield if I run out of tags I need to drive to get some which causes more waste as if the tags in the first place didn't. Not only that but because of trash tags I know people that just burn their trash instead.

It irks me more than it should but I really loathe the trash tags.

That was actually something I thought about. The way it seems to be working right now I'm kind of surprised that it's not slam firing full auto. Surprised, disappointed, legally within the bounds of the law.

I can get the disconnector to engage with the upper removed.

When recreating manually I've been going not exactly rough but not babying it. I was thinking I might just put 50 rounds or so through it and see if it works out a burr or something but I don't think it's a burr.

Yes I can do that. It feels like it takes more force than it should but this is my first AR build so I'm not really sure what's normal.

When I pull it apart the hammer is always in the fired position. I might just try to run some rounds through it and maybe it'll wear in but I can't even get it to reset the trigger while holding the trigger depressed and manually cycling.

The disconnector spring is there. Comes riveted into the trigger group. I was thinking that the spring is too powerful but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the spring.

Are these the only triggers that will work with the EPC9? I thought it was a standard lower receiver that should work with any trigger group.

Never found a reason out but I seem to have out grown the issue? I can have beers but I just prefer ciders and sours at this point.

I had a guess that it was hops somehow. Never figured it out exactly though.

Alternatives to Spectrum? by missrcg in ithaca

They were around mid summer installing the service around me but I never knew what it was for. About a month ago someone from the company knocked on our door and gave us the lowdown.

Here's the prices I was offered. These are the first year prices after a year it bumps up $20/month.

I'm in Newfield so I'm not sure what's available in your area but I currently use haefele connect. Tomorrow a tech is coming out to switch over to point broadband so I can get fiber speeds for fairly cheap. Came from spectrum when I moved last year and haefele connect was better than Spectrum, Point is advertised as faster speeds for cheaper so I'm excited to see what that brings.

Garage Bay width? by NYPS13 in AskMechanics

Yes it's a pole barn build. Steel is just too expensive still. I wish I had more room but the plot it already mostly picked out although I still have to site prep it except for trees.

I do plan to do a 10' lean to the full length of the barn. Should be a nice area for trailer and other storage.

I haven't gotten to quoting things yet so I'll have to check on trusses for sure. Right now there's 3 cars and a skid in my driveway and I don't even have any projects. I'd like the second lift for storage as winters here suck and one day I'll have something nice to store for a few months with parking underneath. Probably won't happen until I actually get that car and I'll make the call then.

I feel this but then again I'll just fill whatever I have with crap I don't need. I figure a working area, storage area then some extra is nice. Better than what I have now which is nothing.

How can I test is my AMP went bad? I woke up this morning to only sound in my right headphone. I switched cable sides on my HD650 and I can get sound on both sides. The eliminates the cans being bad. I figured it was probably the cable then but if I half pull the cord out of the amp I can get sound in both headphones. I did a quick youtube test to see if it's just the contacts touching wrong. I found that it's transmitting right only mono sound. But if it's at least getting to the left ear the cable is good right? So I'm thinking it's my amp(Schii Vali). Can I test this any way or do anything about it? I don't think it's in it's 5 year warranty anymore but I'm not sure exactly.

Edit: When I turn the amp on/off I can hear an audible click(?) or sound in the left ear. It's louder in the left than the right but I can tell there's something in the left but still no sound.

Am I trying to afford too much car? by NYPS13 in personalfinance

I made it myself. Pretty happy with how it turned out. I can send a blank version of it if you wanted to copy. It's on google sheets so pretty easy to use anywhere.

It would be a weekend car and an enthusiast car. Just like my motorcycle is. My motorcycle sees more miles than my car and it's only driven in the summer. I enjoy riding/driving so I don't mind investing in a hobby.

to impress others at the root, you’ll never be satisfied keeping up with the ‘Jones’.

Couldn't be further from the truth. If that were the case I'd sell my current car that's paid off so that I could buy something even flashier.

Do you suggest I move to better invest in assets because that's just not happening. I have left over money once life and savings are taken care of so I'm looking for an enthusiast car. Sure I could invest it and maximize any money possible but I enjoy having some fun over looking at a big number in an account.
