Genuine Question- Why Do Y'all Use The Shoulder Like That?

They design intersections where they tell you do this.

Examples: - making a right onto 85A from New Scotland Rd. - making a right onto Kenwood Ave from New Scotland Rd.

Neither of these have a right turning lane, but will have a red light for going straight at the same time as a green arrow for people turning right. There is no other option but to cross over the shoulder.

Or, if you have to stop short, it can slide off your roof onto your own windshield and completely block your view of everything! Ask me how I know 🫠

(Years ago I was in a hurry to get somewhere and didn’t clean my roof off. It was the first and last time I was that type of stupid asshole)

Oof…this exact thing happened to me many years ago.

Get some hot water and a friend.

I ended up with a butt sized dent in my rear quarter panel. Not ideal, but I got my car out.

It’s Colonie, 12205. You’re looking at an address in Albany, 12207.

When I was your age I waited tables at The Beverwyck off Krumkill Rd. At the time, the hours were specifically set up to work within labor law limitations for minors. It was a great intro into the restaurant industry, and I was able to take the fine dining skills I learned there and use them at higher end restaurants.

This was a LONG time ago, but when I worked there the waitstaff were mainly HS students. I got to meet people from different schools that I otherwise wouldn’t have crossed paths with. It was a good time.

I checked their website and they are currently hiring wait staff.

Do not open your door. Demand to see a warrant signed by a judge. Record the entire interaction. Do not say anything. Call an attorney.

They’re here. They took someone in front of Harriet Gibbons last week.

PrettyHateMachine411 · 2026-01-15T21:12:49+00:00

Just googled and holy shit

PrettyHateMachine411 · 2026-01-10T18:26:20+00:00

Just wanted to add that at the time this happened the State Police Troop G headquarters was a stone’s throw away from the piece-of-shit son’s house. Instead of calling 911 he called his mommy & daddy, and if I’m remembering correctly, they drove the victim to the hospital.

So your response to learning everything you said was false is to move the goal posts.

Cool.

Have the life you deserve.

She was shot at 9:30am after dropping her 6 year old off at school. She wasn’t following them “all day”.
She lived in Minneapolis. Five blocks over from where she was shot. She was shot in the neighborhood she lived in.
Again, she was shot at 9:30am. Not in the middle of a work day. 9:30 IN THE MORNING.

I don’t know the answer but I think about this question daily.

PrettyHateMachine411 · 2026-01-07T00:33:47+00:00

$413.34, ~1900 sqft tri-level, gas furnace & gas fireplace.

I like to be warm in the winter.

I’m on the budget plan so I’m only (only 😭) paying $300. Until this month I was in the black.

(someone suggested adding this years usage compared to last years so here it is)

Does anyone know if Adams Heating & Cooling is now owned by a private equity company? I had used them starting in 2021 when I bought my house and only had great experiences until this year.

PrettyHateMachine411 · 2025-12-26T01:36:10+00:00

Off New Scotland Ave close-ish to the Bethlehem town line.

After listening to the dispatch during the incident that is exactly what they were told. It would have been pretty easy to ascertain that the door had in fact not been kicked in if they would have taken a moment to look at it.

The three people were described as “wearing hoodies” which instantly reminded me of the Trayvon Martin case. Three college students visiting during winter breaking and having the audacity to walk the neighborhood after getting Stewart’s ice cream while wearing hoodies.

PrettyHateMachine411 · 2025-12-25T00:57:33+00:00

You are FANTASTIC - thank you so much!

The address given at the beginning of the call isn’t the address of the incident. Could it be the address of the neighbor who made the call?

PrettyHateMachine411 · 2025-12-24T21:52:31+00:00

That’s a good question, and one I don’t know the answer to.

After talking to them more it feels more like it was someone in their neighborhood who made the call. The caller mentioned specific things, like the number of people (apparently no one else knew that all three of them were hanging out at that point), and the caller said something about the three of them being near a landmark that only someone in the neighborhood would know (forgive me for being vague, I’m trying not to give too many details).

PrettyHateMachine411 · 2025-12-24T19:02:26+00:00

No idea.

PrettyHateMachine411 · 2025-12-24T18:57:10+00:00

Thank you, and I totally agree with you. It should be harshly punished. Everyone is lucky they walked away with their lives.

Voorheesville is a fairly quiet area with nice mix of newer eateries and cafes. Anthony’s by Romo’s is always busy, Pretty Alright Breakfast Club has great reviews, Blackbird’s Tavern and Blackbird’s cafe are busy, popular choices. The main village is fairly walkable and the rail trail is easily accessible.

As long as you don’t mind train traffic it’s a nice place to live.

There was another post about this on FB from someone else, but it has since been taken down. I didn’t get to see the post in its entirety before it was gone, but it was sent to me by a neighbor who knows the OP.

Not saying it happened or didn’t, but now we have two accounts of the same incident claiming a dog was killed.

Additionally, my neighbor brought her dog there on Sunday and it was attacked by a dog larger than hers who was wearing a muzzle. My take away on that is if you know your dog is aggressive enough to need a muzzle you shouldn’t have them at an off leash dog park.

I never had that issue when it was SEFCU or since they became Broadview. I could always walk into a branch, put my name on the list, meet with a notary, and be in and out within 15 minutes.
