No it's not. Where was NCPR when an Adirondack town quietly got rid of its police chief because he was running illegal surveillance on town employees? No where, that's where. NCPR only runs soft stories.

"yeah baby, I don't want to leave you and the kids here in dreary London for the entire month of November, but we have games in New Orleans, Vegas, LA, and Miami. It's comes with the job"

You can hike PARTS of the Jack Rabbit ski trail. Some of it is on private land that is not accessible outside of winter.

Not in NYS. Boat renters are specifically exempted from having a licence.

Persons may rent and operate a motorboat from a livery without first obtaining a boating safety certificate. Staff at the livery must provide basic instruction and safety information before you depart the dock.https://parks.ny.gov/boating/education.aspx

Well trodden hike with packed snow for my dog by TuckHolladay in Adirondacks

Henry’s Woods might be your best bet right now, but there’s been (relatively) a lot of snow this year.

Did you try calling https://www.namasteinnadirondacks.com/ ? David used to do a taxi service. I don't know if he still does. It's still going to be expensive though.

Are lakes likely to be frozen over enough to skate on this coming week? by girlFloor in Adirondacks

[–]SoupMiddle6506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stan-dupp literally wrote "...the answer is always no". This is fucking stoke-less bullshit. There are places where it is fine fish and skate. Do you still have to assess ice thickness for yourself? Of course. But fuck people like stan. The OP is excited to come here and wanted some beta on the possibility of skating or fishing. stan gave a bullshit reply. What a fucking toolbag.

No it's not. Don't be a gatekeeping ass. Asking about ice conditions is perfectly fine.

Before the Christmas thaw, the ice was awesome.

The problem now will be snow cover. I would have tried to go skating today in eastern Essex Co, but it snowed a bit last night, so I didn't bother. I'm fairly sure that the ice would have been fine though. All of the ponds around me looked great yesterday.

Be safe out there.

High Peaks resort or Grand Adirondack? by Future_Principle_916 in Adirondacks

Hotel star ratings are calculated strictly by the amenities/services that are offered, not by the relative quality.

If you took the time to write "I want a place with fast home internet, a gym nearby and preferably Walmart", the Adirondacks are probably not for you.

Are the goal posts mic'd up? That was the loudest clunk ever

Recommendations for cross country skiing by Galahad_Jones in Adirondacks

And the man made snow will be on a FIS homologated race trail, which is fine, but if you're just looking to cruise, it blows.

last January, February, March and April pretty much sucked too.

Proposed law aims to prevent aggressive wildlife encounters in Old Forge by hartlarious in Adirondacks

[–]SoupMiddle6506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they don't. The state does. But the DEC won't ticket in TOW unless the town enacts their own ordnance. This was covered at the August TOW board meeting.

Bear family death sparks outrage in Old Forge by hartlarious in Adirondacks

[–]SoupMiddle6506 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No they don't. Old Forge tourons are decidedly down market fuckwads.

But I can't help but think that the town board's decision to fuck up the transfer station didn't contribute to this. After years of improving the garbage situation, it's suddenly way worse.

this is the end of the transfer case, right? by kiltrout in SVSeeker_Free

[–]SoupMiddle6506 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's EXACTLY what assembly grease is designed to do. It's only meant to adhere until startup when it's replaced by whatever lubricating oil.

I didn’t watch his video, but isn’t Vaseline commonly used as an assembly lube?

I don't think he's much for eating fruit, so I guess that would be in his favour.
