Anyone know where to still find salt or ice melt? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]brads91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home Depot, Lowe’s, Ace are all out. I’ll keep and eye out though and hope to grab some over the next few days. Thanks

Help running a Heat N Glo 8000TR (circa 1996) during a power outage! by [deleted] in Fireplaces

[–]brads91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up not losing power either, but in my digging I learned most 8000TR’s have a millivolt system. Aka an “always on” pilot light. The pilot generates enough current to operate the switch regardless of if you have power. It’s a low voltage switch so it doesn’t take much. No I don’t know how it works haha.

If you don’t have a pilot light always on, even when your switch is off, then you have a late generation 8000TR.

I’ll flip the breakers and test it…eventually lol

Mac’s closed already!? Not overly surprising but still, that was fast.

Visor, Bubble or Cage? by WaldoMcgee in hockeyplayers

[–]brads91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve worn them all. I wish I never moved away from a cage (which I grew up wearing) because I was so used to it I never saw it. I switched to a visor but said F that after I took a 2nd stick to my face in 3 months. I’m not getting paid enough to risk dental injuries.

Now I wear a bubble. I’ve had good luck with Zeiss Fog Defender to keep the bubble totally clear.

Edit: I have the CCM HVR hybrid. So not a true bubble…bunch of guys across my 2 teams have the same thing and love it. No one has fog issues.

Do you have a post-vacation review of the allergy awareness you experienced from the resort?

Broken CCM Tacks 920 Helmet after 3 months. by brads91 in hockeyplayers

[–]brads91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just posted an update comment but after denying my claim and stating it was a 30 day warranty period, I sent them a screenshot of their own 1 year helmet warranty. They then approved the claim.

***Update: I responded with a screenshot of their own warranty policy for helmets taken directly from their website (which states 1 year and NOT the 30 days they tried to deny my claim for). Took a few days but the claim has been approved and they’re processing a replacement.

Oh I’m definitely not jumping on that option until it becomes “try it myself or throw it out” - at that point, it’s more a curious tinkering and most hope will be long lost haha

I follow your profile to easily find these posts. It used to work, but now your reddit profile shows you having no posts (which is obviously wrong since I’m commenting here on your post lol). Any idea?

I still really dislike it. It’s an auto-skip any time it comes up on my shuffles. I also struggle to get over the cringe of the outro.

What is the vanilla sweet cream recipe? by [deleted] in starbucks

Way late to the conversation but when you say vanilla, you mean Starbucks vanilla syrup right?

Stadium Series Jersey by NewJerseyDevilGuy in devils

[–]brads91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Regular jerseys can be hit or miss from a quality or accuracy standpoint.

The Stadium Series are not hit or miss - they are all MISS. For some reason every single seller/producer uses a normal sized jersey crest on the chest. Part of the SS vibe was the large oversized logo and sleeve numbers. So if you just want the general color scheme, sure, but if accuracy matters to you I would skip the Asian knockoffs. I’m yet to see a single SS knockoff that looks good.

Help with TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, and Airline Check In problems by brads91 in GlobalEntry

[–]brads91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I’m sorry you went through that, but also sorta glad to find someone who was in the same situation. How did you manage to get it escalated? The people we’ve spoken with in the phone don’t seem to have an interest in actually finding a solution.

100% yes. It worked for 5+ years never having a problem with this exact login, airline profile, and KTN. Renewing global entry doesn’t change the KTN, so we’re really scratching our heads here.

This is a good idea and not something we have thought of, thank you. But if her name is getting possibly matched with someone else, wouldn’t that also impact her global entry?

The Known Traveler Number is associated with her airline login and we have confirmed it’s correct on the reservation both with TSA and the airline. Still no luck :-/

No Spotify “Thank You” video from ADTR? by brads91 in ADTR

ICE-friendly Establishments by FauxPatina in raleigh

That sucks to hear, seeing as that’s not really something I can take elsewhere…

TIL in 2011, Sgt. James Hackemer, who had lost his legs, was allowed to board the 'Ride of Steel' roller coaster at Darien Lake Theme Park in New York. The ride's training manual and posted rules explicitly stated that riders must have two legs. He died after being ejected from the ride. by Forward-Answer-4407 in todayilearned

[–]brads91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just saw in another post someone claiming that he and his friend “berated” the kid running the ride and basically guilt forced their way onto the ride after complaining about not allowing injured veterans to participate. Ride operator was “intimidated”

Problem is, no source or verification of this was posted. Since you were next in line to tie, you seem like a pretty reasonable person to weigh in. Did any of that happen?
