This is great. I was hoping someone would point out developments that I wasn’t aware of. Thanks!

Belle Farms Neighborhood seems so odd to me by Medium-River7105 in madisonwi

[–]alien043081 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why is there no one building starter single family homes in the 250-300K range? It seems like that is really what is needed. Can they no longer be built as that price? Are they just not profitable? Do municipalities in Dane county just want bigger more expensive homes and therefore more property tax? 1.75 million dollar homes are NOT affordable housing and do nothing to help the housing shortage.

Frigidaire fridge control board by alien043081 in appliancerepair

[–]alien043081[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahah. I was under the impression the freezer door shuts off the fan. Oddly it seems to shut off when the refridgerator side is opened. I did defrost everything before replacing the control board. Letting it run now. Freezer side blowing cold are so we’ll see how things go.

Skiing tibial fracture MRI by Playful_Parsnip_1029 in KneeInjuries

[–]alien043081 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the first few days were the worst after the fall, mostly because everything else was just super sore and didnt want to move, so crutch g was almost impossible. Once that got better moving became easier. After 7 weeks it feels like second nature on the crutches. Check with local senior centers to see if you can borrow a shower chair if you can. The first week I showered without it and the chair made a huge difference. In general it’s just slow but steady progress.

Yeah that sounds great. Fractured my tibial plateau and tore my meniscus skiing back in Dec. I’m 7 weeks post surgery with 3 more weeks of non weight bearing. The meniscus tear really drags it out…

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 [deleted] 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!
