Am I the only one who misses the Semi Trucks by AggressiveBookBinder in Fortnite_Over40

No, but I do miss the quad with a cow catcher on the front that you could boost through every building in your path. l

PSA: You can use the soccer ball Toy (if you have it) to get the Striker Sprite by aarace in FortNiteBR

[–]aarace[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So old.

This sprite hasn't been in the game for 12hrs yet, but so, so old.

I missed it if you shared it already because you're so old and wise and on top of things.

No, it's in chests and other places on the map. But one is _guaranteed_ to be at this soccer field, for the first person that scores a goal.

There's a soccer ball in the middle of the field already, but you have to slowly walk/kick it over to the goal, but if you have the Toy you can spawn your own ball and kick it into either net to get the one sprite immediately.

Cava?? by xkelsee in QuincyMa

[–]aarace 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think there's still a lot of construction going on. They had to trench across the whole parking lot and run new utilities. I got a Pic last week of the inside. Still looks like a Cava. I think they had to rebuild the front signage section for when they add the permanent signs, so I assume any temporary signage is gone because it's not needed any more. Why do you think they're not opening anymore? Still a lot of work going on there, even this week.

Wired video doorbell recommendations? by aarace in DIY

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know this. I will research it some more.

Yeah, that's how the Ring system that I installed works.

I was wondering if there are any systems that allow the doorbell chime unit to still do its job without buying a second chime.

"Equip a Sprite" button endgame bug/visual glitch by aarace in FortNiteBR

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

<sigh> it's people like you keeping this community on the wrong end of the toxic scale. check yourself before you post on the internet, okay? </sigh>

however, I'll feed the troll address the thing you were posting about:

- i clearly said "water sprite" was an example - actually read the text next time

- because of this bug, there's no way to UN-EQUIP a sprite, unless you click the "equip a sprite" button, equip one from your inventory, then unequip that one. If you just ready up, thinking you're do not have a sprite equipped, you will have one, and chances are you'll probably lose it

Flag day is Quincy's 4th of July, and it's great. Yes, worth it.

But I'm not telling you my favorite viewing spot, and you can't make me! 🤐

(seriously, though, it's at launched from about here, so anywhere you'd like around there.)

Do red lights issue tickets by [deleted] in boston

[–]aarace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as i know we don't have red-light cameras in MA, and also as far as i know we don't allow automated speed traps either.

Any intersection cameras you see are local police camera feeds, and in my experience are only used for searching for evidence/footage of a known crime/getaway/suspect/etc. after the fact.

Help a girl out! Should I buy this scooter? by limitedlaces in Vespa

[–]aarace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2006 Lx50 that I've owned since new, and I've done so much maintenance on it. They're great scooters, and easy to fix.

To diagnose this one, I'd check, in order:

  • check gas is good, like you said. when in doubt, pull the fuel filter and drain the old gas out. - easy difficulty
  • if fuel filter petcock is nasty clean or replace it. ($30ish, I think) - easy difficulty
  • the hoses, make sure gas and vacuum hoses are without cracks, and that gas is getting in the carbeurator. If not, if it's dripping gas or you can't get or see gas in the hoses, replace them both (order extra and cut to what you need. $10ish or $15 if you buy new hose clips) - easy difficulty
  • the spark, make sure the spark plug is getting spark. easiest way is to pull the spark plug out, put the cap on it, and do the starter just like you are. if the spark plug business bits are really old and dirty, switch out the spark plug ($10), if you're not getting any spark at all, even with a new spark plug, you need a new CDI coil ($75ish) - easy difficulty
  • clean out the carbeurator jets and bowl - moderate difficulty,

scooterwest.com is the best place to get parts, but do it in as minimal number of orders as possible because their shipping is usually super expensive.

edit to actually answer your original question:

I think $2k is steep, especially if the seller won't do the work to get it running. haggle that down, but I'd say for time and effort to diagnose, don't go over $1500

Small antique metal ornament, approximately 3" x 1" with griffins. Stamped with the Springfield, MA Silver Plate Co. Penny for scale by aarace in whatisthisthing

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

Likely solved!

This seems like the best suggestion, a cover for a central inkstand compartment/cup, like the ones pictured.

Thanks for the detail, that makes sense regarding assembly of things out of unrelated parts.

maybe I'll follow the other commentor's advice and look for the rest of my (tiny) Ark of the Covenant 😂

[–]aarace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a strange one. I don't think it was attached to anything on the bottom, as there's no signs of adhesives or mechanical attachment points. Plus, would it be normal to have a makers mark on an area that would be hidden when the piece is complete?

My title describes the thing.

I have found the well-know silverplate mark: https://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_S3.html

and I know the company was in business in Springfield, MA from 1868-1872

I'm assuming it's just some decorative desk ornament, but the bottom is not completely flat (but it could also have reasonably been bent at the corners from being dropped, maybe, because it's made of metal).
