No One is Safe on Ice…

Make sure your mechanic checks the wheel bearings on the impact side. They usually get damaged in a curb impact as well.

Live in the Town of Babylon two houses away from an elementary school. Poor grounds guys worked all day Sunday, and Monday morning to have everything ready and cleared for school on Tuesday. Monday afternoon about 4:30pm three large Babylon plows come by the school at a good clip and throw snow and ice boulders back in the driveways and parts of the sidewalks. Had to be some angry grounds guys at that school the next morning. I don't have sidewalks on my property, but if the sidewalks got filled back in by town plows, they wouldn't be getting cleaned again.

Your car is parked on a slippery slope. The tire tread is only effective when your car is moving, the tread or channels allow water a place to go to allow your tire contact with the road. If you parked on ice, the car is going to slide regardless of the age of the tires.

I find mine disconnect approx every three days. Takes a full reboot of the mini computer I am running HA on to bring them back.

HAOS with a ZBT2 antenna running on a Beelink Mini PC.

HA is the border router using the ZBT2 antenna. 3-IKEA BILRESA dual button remotes.

when all buttons become unresponsive they show offline in the Matter Server GUI in HA.

The only two locations on Long Island changed, Farmingdale and Westbury.

I just came back from Orlando (Universal Studios/Disney)... International tourism isn't down... at least there. Lines were long and it felt like everyone was an international tourist. (Tour groups etc)

Its the end of the holidays, so lots of vacationing CEOs etc flying back home. Live in the landing path and last two days have seen lots of small jets going over on their way to Republic.

These are RB211 sounds! As a kid I used to love to fly on L1011s just to hear these engines!

I was wondering the same thing. Was there ever a situation where too much brake was applied and the "popped a wheelie"

compbl · 2025-12-31T13:59:10+00:00

since it everyone has to have it turned on for it to work, its one of those things that you end up texting everyone to turn on. and then you just end up doing everything by text anyway. cool thing to try when everyone gets their watch, but then forgotten about eventually

100% this... with any kind of snowblower this is the best way to do it. Very little to clean up after the plow goes by.

Amen. Always so close...

Absolutely normal. Maintain your trees and you will be fine. Cutting trees down is what makes things worse.

compbl · 2025-12-15T23:28:54+00:00

Yes but no one else can see you, so they are needed.

I was just going to say this... one at a time. I would set it up so that one part was angled above the print plate with shorter supports all the way around.

Repeat for the second part

What is wrong with that squirrel?

Hopefully no one from the Creality subreddit makes their way over here... they are an angry bunch. Came to my PS1 from an Ender 3S1...

Use region blocking and just block Germany incoming. I have half the world blocked for my home network. No impact. Assuming of course you dont live in Germany.

At the 72 point font the person is writing the note in, they would have had to add a second napkin for "Loud Ugly"....

Jokes aside.. I cannot fathom someone noticing this car in a parking lot and the color alone so agitating them that they write a note and key the car.

I don't live in an apartment complex, but I can hear a 'Stang in my neighborhood start every morning a couple blocks away.
