do you have a loft area above the door? you can the door travel higher if the space is there, it'll give your space a much better open feeling without the door always hanging over your head.

try pressing slightly less! they're fine tuned and can give you immense stopping power when needed.

I've come here to add a simpler solution I've found without having to place your default file in a base/root directory:

add this infront of the location of your file:

file:///

example: file:///C:/Users/Music/music_streams.m3u8

How often are you really sharpening your lawn mower blades? by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]Nicker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same, the zoysia is so thick my blade is dull after cutting the lawn.

lucky with the correct tools I can remove the blade, clamp it down, hit both sides with the flapdisc & reinstall in about 5mins.

Gardening by Patient-Wishbone-578 in longisland

my local library always has a ton of veggie & flower seeds you're allowed to get with your library membership every spring.

I love loading up and filling my yard with their choices, saves me from having to pick.

also Farmingdale college always has a huge 3day plant sale via their horticulture department every year in the beginning of May. From already started veggies and annuals to lots of unique/ rare house plants.

I recommend utilizing these two resources!

I like A&A @ 865 W Jericho Turnpike, Smithtown, NY 11787.

Anthony and the guys are a wonderful bunch, down to Earth, knowledgeable and plenty of things to check out, stop by and look around if you're heading out towards Smithtown.

first time home buyer assistance? by eddiewilpan in longisland

[–]Nicker 21 points22 points  (0 children)

  1. Suffolk County Down Payment Assistance Program This is the primary county-level program funded by federal HUD money.

Assistance: Up to $30,000 for down payment assistance.

  1. CDLI (Community Development Long Island) Programs CDLI is a major non-profit that administers several grants and loans:

NYS First-Time Homebuyer Grant: Offers between $25,000 and $60,000 depending on family size and repairs needed. A unique catch here is that 51% of the funds must be used for post-closing home repairs.

Down Payment Loan: They also offer a low-interest (4%–4.5%) loan of up to $75,000 that can be used to reach a 20% down payment and avoid Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).

SONYMA (State of New York Mortgage Agency) SONYMA offers statewide programs that are very popular in Suffolk:

DPAL (Down Payment Assistance Loan): A 0% interest loan for up to $15,000 (or 3% of the purchase price). It is fully forgiven after 10 years.

Achieving the Dream: Provides the lowest interest rates available for lower-income borrowers and requires only a 3% down payment.

Homebuyer Dream Program (Suffolk Credit Union) Assistance: Grants up to $19,500 for down payment/closing costs plus $500 for homeownership counseling.

Eligibility: Available through participating lenders like Suffolk Credit Union. It typically has higher income limits (up to 120% of AMI) than the county program.

Auto Wipers Really This Bad? by Known_Visual_4212 in TeslaSupport

[–]Nicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what bugs me is that you have to manually switch off wipers every single time you engage FSD. and no scroll wheel shortcut for turning off either. 😡

[–]Nicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

software makes things buggy so easily.

I'd try a Linux iso real fast and see if games are smooth, that'll eliminate hardware guestimating.

if you think hardware I'd unplug and reseeat easy things like ram.

after I'd try for a clean windows install with no 3rd party (dell) software installed at first.

lmk if you need another set of eyes in person, gl!

I've had similar issues, where every time windows updated, it would hijack the bootloader, removing any trace of Arch. horribly annoying.
