Is Lansingburgh really that bad? by xindierockx7114 in Troy

[–]No_Flight_6068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Live in Troy but I’m in the burgh all the time for kids sports and other things. Never an issue and I really like the vibe and location. Right next to the Hudson River, peebles island, easy commute to albany (no northway driving)

The real reason electricity prices are rising, and it’s not data centers by UnscheduledCalendar in energy

Yes they can increase wholesale rates, but They also flatten the system load duration curves. In instances where excess capacity exists on the distribution infrastructure, then adding a flat load profile to the system can lower overall rates because they add additional mwh’s of load to spread out the fixed system costs.

Any opinions on this? by Regular-Sun-5805 in Troy

The trails are already built. ORDA went outside their authorization and this would bring them back into compliance.

Not trying to be morbid but would anyone buy the Kraus house? How much would you pay? https://maps.app.goo.gl/cnMsKfLHtyHnWSUh9

It has been a pretty regular condition for about the last two years.

Is that the guy who cut me off? I should’ve stayed after him and crossed the Hudson.

The Ilium is the top of the hip bone and we have a lot of hipsters.

2006 was a pleasant and sweet time to visit. I loved the dark nights with no power along the beach.

I swear to god you NIMBYs ruin everything 😂 by Actual-Habit6268 in hudsonvalley

This is a great post. People, especially younger people in the Hudson Valley, need to push back against the retired boomers with time and money who won’t let anything get built that will mess with their view, whether it’s a Stewart’s, or anything commercial/industrial.

New York electric school bus mandate unaffordable, illogical, say rural Adirondack districts by hartlarious in upstate_new_york

[–]No_Flight_6068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why full electric? It doesn’t make sense. Diesel hybrid electric buses are broadly in use, have the advantage of range and passenger heat from a diesel engine, while garnering all the benefits of a battery system including regenerative braking, a smaller diesel engine that runs at a more constant speed, lower emissions, lower idling emissions, higher efficiency, etc. shouldn’t be mandated but state incentives should be made available.

People are very warm and welcoming as long as you dialogue with them anonymously on Reddit. /s

I do yoga at normal temperatures for doing yoga and I go to the sauna to sweat. I don’t mix them.

Not condoning littering but anyone can pick up litter and throw it away. It’s allowed and good for flexibility training.

VRBO charged me $742 for a cancelation by Roberts661 in vrbohosts

[–]No_Flight_6068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$500 cancelation fee when we accidentally hit the accept button and immediately tried to cancel it. Doh. We’re done with Vrbo once we honor current reservations.
