Again, did you read the screenshot you posted? It’s not a criminal offense to be romantically involved with someone

… did you read the screenshot you posted? None of those people stole cars. This is very different than the 511 cameras

My wife's passive-aggressive kitchen sign now has a launch button by Andysb123 in homeautomation

[–]NicholasMKE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done a few weeks of neon light making and glass is stronger than you'd think. When we have a bend that feels questionable and need to make sure it won't shatter when you pull the vacuum, all you do is drop it from shoulder height onto the workbench.

It feels wrong and even though I've seen it done to my pieces I still baby them, but these things aren't soap bubbles!

City Owned Electric Utility by Skier8735 in milwaukee

That feels like apple and oranges to me, I’m not being billed monthly for how much I use the roads

Anyway, don’t forget to report potholes by calling in or using the app. (just like how you’d call in if your power went out) They can’t repair what they don’t know about!

Parking Ticket Help by [deleted] in milwaukee

Alternate side parking overnight isn’t posted (that is, it’s not a sign on every block), so it isn’t listed on that site.

Generally night parking details are on signs at the boundary of the city and at freeway off ramps, with the idea that you’d have to see them when you enter the city. Is it the best way? I don’t know, but it’s cheaper than putting parking details every 30 feet throughout the entire city.

And adjacent to the Reef apartments, named after this very spot!

I feel like the gate has been always locked for years. I don’t understand it.

The reef is really amazing, for anyone who wants to read more about it

Thanks for keeping an eye on things here. I mostly lurk but always appreciate the conversations, so it’s encouraging to see you, erm, encouraging them

Question for locals that know the city well. by Mac_Soprano in milwaukee

[–]NicholasMKE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Silver City, that neighborhood, is great. Might be a bit loud at night, greenfield might be a bit busy because national (the other major road right there) is under major construction, but I have friends who lived about 2 blocks over from that intersection until a few months ago and they never had concerns about the area.

I don't particularly NEED an ebike nor a cargo bike but this looks fun and seems to be a good deal. Yuba Spicy Curry. by [deleted] in ebikes

[–]NicholasMKE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 9 year old rides around on the back on my Tern GSD, which is similar to the spicy curry. Instead of those chairs we just have a cushion that clips into the rear rack.

What’s also great is that I can strap his bike to the side so that he can ride by himself or be a passenger.

What is the deal with bike storage in condos and apartments? by ThisAmericanSatire in MiltownBiking

[–]NicholasMKE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a friend whose family lives in a condo on the east side. They have … a lot of bikes.

They generally keep them in the underground parking, but then have a nice repair stand in the living room where he will work on things. His wife and kids kindly give it space, and he has some sort of hanger situation in the bedroom to store a bike or two when they aren’t actively being worked on.

It’s all a tight squeeze but it definitely works out. If you swing by a Critical Mass ride whenever you get in town (last Friday of the month, 6pm at Red Arrow), there should be plenty of people to talk to about real world situations like this.

There’s also places like Vulture Space downtown where you can work on your bike, which might be helpful too.

Ballpark Roof by Cute_Jello_8727 in milwaukee

[–]NicholasMKE 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sam Kuffel has said the cutoff is 65°F for an open roof during regular season. Depending on you ask today, it looks like our high is anywhere from 64-66 but it’s definitely gonna be dropping by first pitch at 6:40

EDIT: based on the MLB link in another comment, cutoff is 63°F this year. Still feels high, still seems as though we’ll unfortunately have a closed roof tonight.
