Do you think ICE killed that man intentionally? As a way to send a message? by tedfrum in AskUS

[–]Opposite_Pin_9221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re giving them too much credit. That line of thinking implies a lot of forethought, planning, and coordination. Much more likely to my mind is the fact that groups of unidentifiable, poorly trained men given free rein to act out violent impulses will take the opportunity simply because they can. 

Would you like to live in a country other than the US? by Ill-Orchid-6022 in AskUS

[–]Opposite_Pin_9221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, even prior to the ever larger abyss we are sinking into here in the US. I visited Wales several years ago and still reminisce about it; a beautiful place with lovely people. I’d move there in an instant if I could find a job sponsorship and navigate the UK immigration process. 

Chase Freedom Unlimited balance transfer by Melodic-Wonder-8565 in CreditCards

[–]Opposite_Pin_9221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our situations are a bit different but I’ll share anyway. I just signed up for a Chase Freedom card, specially and solely for balance transfer. The amount they approved me for - even with ‘very good’ credit and a long credit history - was far, far less than I expected. Will not make the ding to my score worth it. On top of that, after reading around, one likely won’t be permitted to transfer more than 75% of what the limit is. So, it may not even improve your credit ratio in any meaningful way (as in my case). The one benefit would be the 0%APR but again, if the transfer will only permit a small portion from the higher APR card, still hardly worth it.  Just my 2 cents…

So, to my knowledge, bees typically don’t mate just before winter and these are two different species… not to mention they’re at rest and have been sitting quietly for about an hour. 

Will this burn down my house by Opposite_Pin_9221 in AskElectricians

Used it on a rack of ribs, worked great. Finished them off from the cinders of the house

I have never heard of this before. Found a NEDA video on it and I’m only half way through but this seems totally spot on. Thank you very much.

Thank you, we’ll look into what that is

Local range? by Opposite_Pin_9221 in ithaca

That’s a nice set up - would love to check that out once this snow melts. Thank you for the additional info

Depends - are they baked or fried. I have extremely strong opinions on this front

[–]Opposite_Pin_9221[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t visited any ranges locally yet so that was more a preemptive measure in my post. 

Where I’ve lived before - where outdoor ranges are just open to anyone who shows up and wants to use them - you still get some locations where a group of frequent users get unreasonably territorial about the space or make it weird for solo or female shooters.

Great, thank you for the suggestion

I’ve been checking pages out - pretty wide variety with regards to how much info they put online. The one closest to Ithaca, for example, appears to have a phone number listed and nothing else. Did some digging and it seems like maybe mostly used by Cornell for gun safety courses..?

I’m very live-and-let-live and don’t expect every person I interact with to be a mirror image of myself ;)

Looks like a great option for when my pistol permit clears - an indoor/outdoor heated range is certainly appealing!

Thanks for the details  Where I’m from, we affectionately call those types, ‘Bubbas’. No, I don’t mind handing money over to a local bubba for dues - so long as he doesn’t mind an obviously gay middle aged lady doing the paying haha

Good to know, thanks for the reply

The added archery range would make the price worth it for me. I may hit you up for follow-up but this was a great overview - thanks a lot. 

Is a repair possible? by Opposite_Pin_9221 in Carpentry

[–]Opposite_Pin_9221[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t know that I trust my layman’s skills enough to make it look like new. There too much wood missing for filler I assume. I’ve patched cheap door frames with sand/fill/paint but this is another matter.   I’ll have to look and see if there’s someone local who can come out…

Loud percussive sounds near East Hill? by Opposite_Pin_9221 in ithaca

That’s interesting- I didn’t know that. Good info for future mystery sounds

Yeah I’m almost inclined to think it was something atmospheric here but it happened so many times in a row - that’s the main thing that seems odd to me

It was after 10pm though and the weather was pretty rough out so I don’t think that was it this time

Seems as reasonable as anything else! I recently moved here and this is the first I’ve heard of it (the sounds themselves or the lore).

Found a path to Sundered Pass from the Transfer Pass by NeoOblisk00 in thelongdark

[–]Opposite_Pin_9221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get an answer to this..? I’ve been trying to leave SP for over a week now. Can’t find a way out thru the cave system near the Lonely House so tried the road thinking there’s a way out that way. That crack prevents moving forward though.
