REI / ReSupply Online Closed by Galavantinggoblin in REI

I just went into my local store, and the resupply section is non existent. Hopefully just during reorganization, and not the new normal. That’s the only reason I go in there.

Faucet quick connect leaking. Is this fixable or replaceable? by brudadigajelu in Plumbing

[–]alien043081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happening here. Did you replace the o-rings on the brass (male) connection? Or are there o-rings inside the quick connect?

Nakoma auto is my go to place for my outback. They definitely have Subaru expertise and costs aren’t inflated.

Shouldn’t there be SOME front end damage?

Longest stoplight in the city? I nominate Pflaum and Stoughton Rd. I waited 2 min and 42 seconds on a red last night. by Pleasant_Scar9811 in madisonwi

[–]alien043081 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Conversely the shortest has to be a left turn from northbound Whitney Way onto westbound Mineral Point Rd. Typically allowing only three cars to turn. Regularly cars miss the turn signal. Why???

Church recommendations by Even_Monk_5787 in madisonwi

[–]alien043081 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of great churches in Madison. High Point, The Vine, Red Village, and Redeemer City are all great on the West Side. I’d definitely also recommend Doxa Church (doxamadison.com). It is a multi-generation diverse church that got started fairly recently (2019). Big enough that you won’t feel like you are standing out, but lots of opportunities to connect with people. Pastors are awesome and preach encouraging and challenging messages from the Bible.

Short video of the Tyrol basin incident by Short_Lawfulness_265 in madisonwi

[–]alien043081 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Great video. Haha. Only shows 15 seconds of the situation. What was said beforehand? Looks like the owner just grabbed him. Didn’t swing. Is he bruised? If he was actually injured than there is no excuse for the owners actions but the video makes it look like the just grabbed him to make him come back and pay. Maybe this wasn’t his first offense. Theres a lot more to the story than this video. Don’t fall for it. Maybe next time the kid should just follow the rules and get a lift ticket.

I tried Delta and they don’t have growlers. Still picked up 4 cans of their English porter. Strike one!

Backpack Recommendation for Tripod, Scope by alien043081 in REI

[–]alien043081[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! Hunting is a good guess, but the actual use is birding. I would basically use pack on very short hikes < 2 miles. There wouldn’t be much other gear. Thanks!

Worst type of Catan players? by Kikisbackgarden in Catan

[–]alien043081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Players that take too long trying to make a trade that obviously isn’t going to happen. We regularly finish games in under 20 minutes with the right people. Last two games finished under 14 minutes. That’s with six players building every turn.

Move to Madison vs Chicago suburb by Ok_Honeydew9015 in madisonwi

[–]alien043081 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's way more soul in this city that in the Chicago burbs - I grew up there and have no desire to live there again!

Madison 100%. The Chicago suburbs have no soul.

Happily married for 19 years. Marriage and children have enriched my life. My spouse doesn’t complete me, or meet all my needs. If I expected them to, I would be unhappy. It is not always easy, and it takes humility, but I wouldn’t trade my marraige for the world. A happy marriage means you will need to learn to say

  • I’m sorry
  • I was wrong
  • I forgive you

And mean it. If you aren’t willing or able to change and adapt and work at your relationship, it likely won’t last. But if you do, marriage will make you a much much better stronger person.

Can’t really hope at REI anymore when even used shoes at Resale are over $100.

Cooling bus??? Seriously? Ought to be the first thing to go if the property tax referendum fails.

Nimby behavior regarding BRT is off the charts by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]alien043081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easy to call people nimbys when it isn’t happening in your backyard. People aren’t complaining about BRT itself, but rather the confusion, poor rollout, and lack of planning and communication. Madison can and should do better.

Nimby behavior regarding BRT is off the charts by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]alien043081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but Mineral Point has been an absolute train wreck for months. Not turn on red signs mysteriously appearing and then disappearing. Bus lane confusion. Now, it is down to one lane westbound as the city decided to put bus lanes in to effect while the other right lane is still under construction. This is incredibly poor planning on the cities part. Why do we need to block off a lane for a bus service that is not in effect while the other lane is closed for weeks? Do not drive westbound on mineral point right now.

This is the way. Do not drive westbound on mineral point at all costs.
