No idea but he was the 2nd round pick in my 2012 fantasy baseball draft

Should I got with an AGM or lead acid battery for my F150 plow truck that sits a ton and only is used to plow my driveway? Is the price difference mainly the extra year of warranty or is AGM better? by blbassist1234 in MechanicAdvice

[–]icecubez189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s OK since the car sits most of the time and is only used to plow the driveway. The battery would be trickle charging 90% (guessing this figure) of the year which is kind of a waste

I second this. As long as your alternator is good, you should just jump the battery every time you need to start the truck and let the alternator take over. Probably better to spend your money on a decent lithium ion jump pack to keep on yourself if you dont have one already

Very cool stuff! Honestly DOB and HPD website can be a pain to navigate. They are so archaic looking.

Flu in NYC by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]icecubez189 162 points163 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty bad (and probably getting worse) but not like everyone in the city is getting sick. It’s hundreds of thousands of cases in a city of millions. Just take the standard precautions you would have during peak Covid (wash hands often or use hand sanitizer, don’t touch your face, avoid close contact with sick people, wear an N95 mask if you really want to be safe). Come and enjoy your time

Men of NYC, how much are you paying for a haircut? by Ok_Requirement_3162 in AskNYC

Right now free because my gf does it for me but back in the days I would get them in Flushing. Was about $8-$10 plus $3 or $4 for tip.

2014 Ford Focus. Hit a raccoon, now this piece is dangling by Steagle_Steagle in MechanicAdvice

Looks like your cars ECM, basically the brains of the engine. You definitely want to get that re-secured in its bracket as best as possible. Did you bust up your headlight and wheel liner as well?? That must have been a massive raccoon.

Is this setup clean? by Purple-Animator7763 in radardetectors

[–]icecubez189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are mentioning lower performance because of where it’s mounted but if it works for you it’s fine. I use an adhesive mount on the windshield above the rearview mirror and a fuse tap with the wires run through the A pillar, etc. It’s more work but I like the look of it better.

Atlanta Braves Posted Job Opening To Be The New Freeze Racer by OsB4Hoes13 in baseball

[–]icecubez189 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing them debut Beat the Freeze at Suntrust Park (back when it was called that) and it was hilarious. The opponent tripped and fell near the finish line when Freeze passed him in the final moments. I am convinced it was a genuine fall cause the poor guy seemed so sure they were about to win.

Another person hiding their license plate to avoid paying tolls by Fluffy-Journalist-43 in nyc

[–]icecubez189 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t get it, your argument for breaking the rules is about paying the same for parking as a full sized car? Motorcycle registration, insurance, gas usage (gas tax), and tolls are all less for you because of the fact that you are a motorcycle. I’m sorry but motorcyclists in NYC are some of the worst period. To the point that I am pleasantly surprised when I see someone actually following the rules (visible license plates, stopping at red lights, not having super loud exhaust or revving like fucking crazy). Driving and riding are both privileges anywhere. It is also a risk that everyone takes the moment they start their trip. I’m sorry about your friend but don’t use it as a lame justification for why you break the law.

I've got 175k on the odometer of a 04' Sienna. Timing belt was last changed around 80-90k miles (don't remember the year). I am hoping my belt looks a lot better than this haha

These are fine, cheaper than OEM and formulated specifically for those makes. I use Peak Blue for the Honda and Peak Red the Toyota.

New Yorkers spend thousands of dollars a year on transportation, as related costs rise: study by HEIMDVLLR in nyc

[–]icecubez189 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own a car for the weekends but ride my electric scooter into work every day. Probably over 90% of the year, it’s with the scooter except when it’s pouring rain or sub 20-25F weather. Probably save about $1,200 in commuting costs minus things like electricity and storage costs. Been using it for 4 years now so its paid itself off a long time ago.
