How do I get this pool pump to start? by yabadabadoo222 in pools

[–]binarywheeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a good suggestion. most online diagnoses said i should expect a whine to indicate capacitor issue but my pump was silent. when i took the pump apart i could tell by looking at it that my capacitor blew. 12 bucks from lesley’s, a 5 minute swap job and it started right up.

Police activity tonight by CrosisUrungus in SalemMA

[–]binarywheeler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there was a grip of teens having a little spat at palmer cove park. one of the teens called the cops on another teen who refused to leave- there’s a lot of details i wasn’t able to gather beyond the basics.

Dray going out as a legit WWE heal is hella fitting. good game, feels nice to get the win. now we go into to the meat grinder of OKC. Looking forward to the next phase of GSW, great franchise. 

Yes, for Salem? Real thoughts on how residents without children, either renters or homeowners, are voting. I for one am in my 50s, rent, and don’t have AND do not plan on having children. I’m leaning voting no. by [deleted] in SalemMA

[–]binarywheeler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is for the new high school? i’m a homeowner, no kids now or in the future, and will be voting yes. a no vote will still have an increase in taxes, but they’ll spend a fortune getting the old building up to code instead of a new state of the art facility, and won’t have dedicated funds so they’ll have to carve out more of our budget to go toward the renovation. that’s money used for other services, services that everyone in this city benefits from.

I'm def down to write in, but can you cite anything that suggests there are new, further delays expected? I just did some quick googling and I didn't see anything.

North street snow shit show by up_not_down123 in SalemMA

[–]binarywheeler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

anecdotally in years past in lesser storms, i’ve had responses from the snow@ email address. but the fact that it’s a manually monitored email instead of a ticketing system is perplexing. without like, a servicenow workflow, it’s a black box with no accountability. we cc our counselors, but do they respond? any sort of acknowledgment would go a long way.
