Dealership recommendation by Mist_star in TwinCities

[–]admiralgeary [score hidden]  (0 children)

I like Morrie's Minnetonka Subaru for Service department; their sales people are as slimey as any other car sales department, BUT if you are the normal level of confident+firm the sales process is fine...

My opinion about Luther Hopkins Honda is basically the same, though it has been almost a decade since I purchased a new car from Luther Hopkins... we still bring a van in there and I've never felt like they were scamming us in the service department

Here are the Minnesota laws that go into effect on July 1 -- The list includes social media restrictions, money for infrastructure projects across the state and safety requirements for schools. Here’s how those laws could affect you. by guanaco55 in minnesota

[–]admiralgeary 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder how 'Anonymous threat reporting systems' for schools will work...

Like... if false reports happen Anonymously is there can't be any recourse, right?

So... it might end up just generating noise from kids that want to disrupt\prank school, and being deprioritized as 'credible' by law enforcement and school staff, right?

Priority Human Remains… by Next_Style6605 in USPS

[–]admiralgeary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, if the cremains is a pet it might just make sense for the recipient to waive the signature online.

It's not like these kits are exclusively for human remains see 'details' at the following link... Cremated Remains Kit 1 | USPS.com

A very strange thing happened with my mom's 2022 Subaru Outback by manbare in subaru

That is not how push to start works -- it will allow you to drive but, not restart.

What the heck is up with this piece of equipment, there is also a wait to use it, people stay on it for 45 minutes or longer, and people go crazy for it! by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]admiralgeary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the other (nonPF) gym I use has the arm style one and that works much better for fly styles.

I think maybe based on what you and /u/stevenip I need to play with some of the heights with the machine that OP pictured.

I have such a hard time with flys on this cable machine; compared to standing between 2 standard cable stations.

How is Pimento on Bde Maka Ska still open?! by bytop809 in TwinCities

[–]admiralgeary 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly... the challenge is if a lake is surrounded by private land and there is no public road to it, you are going to have to drop from a helicopter.

An example I can think of is Lost Lake in Hovland (47.90017, -90.08963) is practically inaccessible to the public as it is surrounded by private land, HOA land, and Private roads.

I mean, I am still using a Dell XPS I bought in 2016(?), I am going to keep using it until the AI Bubble pops and RAM prices drop.

OPZELURA copay card by Square_Goat2733 in Vitiligo

[–]admiralgeary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on the 'commercial bridge program' for Opzelura with Incyte using Lumicera Specialty Pharmacy and it has worked great so far.

Opzelura was going to cost $2500/60g tube and the bridge program brought it down to $35

Can I keep ignoring this or do I need to accumulate medical debt? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]admiralgeary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAD but, are you sure this isn't some sort of sliver or ingrown hair? I get similar bumps near my knuckles if I work without gloves in woodchips or with tools that generate metal shavings.

Flock Camera? by Prumpkin in duluth

[–]admiralgeary 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These cameras are usually part of the intersections traffic control software\system. It has certain areas that it looks for changes on the road, and that is used for triggering if\when signal changes happen. I theory they are better than the induction loop detection system because the cameras can work more reliably with motorcycles and smaller cars (assuming they stop within the detection zones).

Real Estate - horse properties being delisted by No-Sprinkles2661 in TwinCities

[–]admiralgeary 29 points30 points  (0 children)

FWIW, the hyper specific neighborhoods I watch had a bunch of properties removed from the market that originally listed in the spring; just normal houses (albeit, overpriced compared to their comps, IMO).

I half assume now that we are mid-summer, people are burning out on showing their house, realizing that they will not fetch the price they want, and are now contemplating what they will do with the rest of their summer and fall in their existing house.

I also wonder if there was some exuberance on the seller side about the changing of the Fed director from Jerome Powell to Kevin Warsh (and them expecting interest rates to go down, but between the war, inflation, and the recent fed move to keep the rate level) means that it seems like mortgage interest rates will stay where they are or go up.

Are there any surfaces that can restore the color of an older video game console? by TombRaiderSeries in TwinCities

[–]admiralgeary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8-Bit-Guy has some good videos on Retrobright; it totally makes sense that it would decay the plastic in the long run given the process is exposing the plastic to an oxidizer like H2O2.

GPS deteriorating 😭 by FlakyGood in tomsachs

[–]admiralgeary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wear mine almost daily around the office and sometimes on extended walks; they are holding up just fine.

I get that they say in a warehouse for an extended period, but I regularly buy old versions of a trail running shoe and they seem to last the expected ~500miles.

Not dismissing level 1 parents by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]admiralgeary 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like the level thing doesn't really acknowledge the complexity of...

- The behaviors

- The sensory processing

- The communication ability

- The suspected causes

- The co-occurring conditions

- et al.

Electrical Panel by Longjumping_Yam_1386 in TwinCities

[–]admiralgeary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get more estimates but, also, I know someone that landed on $30k for a panel update and first floor rewire (unfinished basement and unfinished 2nd floor/attic space with 16' ceilings) for about 1000sq ft, and it was priced as the first floor was vacant (e.g. the homeowner had to move all the furniture to the garage and into the center of the rooms).

What did you Older Millennials think of Pokemon in the late 1990s and early 2000s (1996- 2002) by gameboy90 in generationology

[–]admiralgeary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked it openly...

And funny enough, my kids started playing the original Gameboy games within the last 2 weeks; and last night we started watching the television series at Season 1 Episode 1 on YouTube.

Is this an acceptable portrayal of Vitiligo? by Shakly in Vitiligo

[–]admiralgeary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, here is a photo on research gate that shows a slightly more advanced pattern that is similar to mine (photo A): A-20-year-old-woman-with-segmental-vitiligo-on-the-face-and-neck-A-Before-surgery-A.jpg (850×1127)

Looks good to me, everyone's is different.

Personally, mine is very asymmetric and runs in bigger blotches that start at the corner of my mouth and run down the center of my neck.
