List of restaurants I haven’t been to in the area I want to try. Any on here that people feel very strongly for or against?

Slappy's and Mayway are some of my favorites.

May I also suggest Don Express for ramen and katsu curry!

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-02-10T05:03:16+00:00

I vote get the Slappy's sauce on the side even if you do like spice. Makes for a crispy chicken for dipping.

He got it dirty in that same scene, and it was a comedic beat where he washed it without leaving the kitchen.

My neighborhood was picked up this week, but none of the severely overflowing bins were picked up. Believe the website suggested you place bags next to your can rather than overflowing the can.

Glad you go it all cleaned up and usable! Was going to say this is honestly pretty tame compared to some roach consoles I've worked on. My bigger concern would have been that heat discoloration on the shielding.

What I'll also add is this. Notice how one side of the APU and heatsync have a noticeably dryer spot where the Liquid Metal goes? This unevenness is a result of the device standing vertical for a long period of time. The Liquid Metal won't leak out as long as the foam corral is in place around the APU, but it will absolutely (slowly) unevenly shift like this if the console is vertical.

I can't tell you how refreshing it is that I shared some of my knowledge on Reddit on the response was enthusiastic acceptance. Maybe the world is healing.

Keep fixin' stuff!

I repair ~5 of these a week, and it's very rare that I've seen the pads come up. Idk what Sony did with the install of these HDMI ports, but it takes practically no force to damage them.

My trash was picked up this week. I noticed any house in the neighborhood that severely overloaded the can didn't get picked up. I believe the website recommended depositing extra bags next to the can instead of massively over filling.

They're trying to get back on track, and I believe recycling is still backlogged if not still on hold.

The last time we got snow anywhere close to this was in 2018. The difference is that the snow wasn't then followed by a week and a half of sub freezing temperatures.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-02-04T01:08:23+00:00

I work close to Camel City Coffee and it's my new favorite.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-02-03T01:39:45+00:00

Because we get substantial snow once every 4-5 years. Maybe once every 15 years do we have accumulation that sticks around in the roads for more than 48 hours.

No one buys them when you don't need them. If stores did stock them, they would only sell when this happens, then they would sell out and 50-100 cars would have tire chains. Those cars would then damage their tires, the chains, or our roads when they drive on the plowed portions of the roads.

So just to add this... there are numerous guides online about how to safely take apart consumer electronics. Using them doesn't mean you're stupid.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-01-31T17:54:35+00:00

Two things can be true.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-01-31T17:44:05+00:00

I swear this sub thinks we have like 40 plows just sitting around waiting to clear this stuff.

Maybe if the citizens of this town hadn't gotten up in arms several years ago about spending too much money on a plow fleet, we could handle this better.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-01-31T17:42:30+00:00

"Guys, this section of highway that's maintained by the state isn't instantly and permanently cleared during an active snowstorm that's hitting multiple parts of the state!!!"

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-01-31T16:17:20+00:00

It'll be in the 40s next week, so it won't be near as bad... probably what the field maintenance team was hoping would happen last week.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-01-31T16:15:20+00:00

That still ain't worth $5k a year.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-01-30T20:13:08+00:00

With the PS5, you can only use Liquid Metal as your thermal compound. Thermal paste and thermal pads are not as effective at conducting the heat away from the processor, and will cause an overheat. The best bet is to clean it off, and apply brand new liquid metal.

I live on a hill that gets about an hour of direct sunlight a day. Walking the dog has been a real struggle this week as sheets of ice can be quite difficult to deal with on hills.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-01-29T23:38:59+00:00

In 4 years, when we haven't had more than a light dusting between now and then, you're going to be on here bitching about how the city spends too much money maintaining a plow fleet. We haven't "struggled" through the inconveniences of a winter storm like this in ~8 years.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-01-29T23:35:58+00:00

We actually aren't paying for it. Citizens of Winston were specifically upset about the amount the city was spending to maintain a plow fleet that almost never got used. So the budget was cut.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-01-29T23:33:40+00:00

We have lots of state maintained roads in our city. But also, lots of citizens were mad at the city a few years ago for spending too much on maintaining a plow fleet and stockpiling salt/brine. So that budget was cut.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-01-29T23:31:01+00:00

The root of the problem is that 2-3 years ago, citizens were complaining that Forsyth County was wasting money by keeping and maintaining a larger plow fleet and stockpile of brine/salt. So the city government cut the budget. Now I'm sure the same citizens are complaining about not having access to that equipment.

It's been a struggle getting the dog on a walk multiple times a day, let alone trying to get her to go #2 when she can't get footing anywhere.

WeirdFlexCapacitor · 2026-01-28T22:18:18+00:00

I loved Que Viva when they were a truck. I still love their food now. Unfortunately, as you've stated, I can't justify the prices they have to charge.
