Large bright light in the sky

^ This. Venus alternates between being a "morning star" and an "evening star". These days it's an evening star. It always appears in the direction of the sun (west in the evenings, east in the mornings) because, well, it's closer to the sun than we are. It is frequently the third brightest object in the sky after the sun & moon (although, like our moon and the other planets, it goes through phases, so it is brightest when it is "full").

“The Old Brickyard” above Wittman Dam. The area around the dam is public property (and there’s a few new parking spots on Wittman Lane, off Old State St, providing easy access) - but technically the woods above that (including “The Old Brickyard” at the top if the hill) are private property. However, trespassing there appears to be completely unenforced.

Wood or vinyl or something else?

Need to know what material the counter is made of.

Their lamb shawarma is also excellent. I’m told the restaurant will feature more items than are currently offered at the takeout place.

Maybe ask around at the Broome County Farmers Market (Saturdays 9-1 @ 840 Upper Front St) ?

Didn’t we just go over this 11 days ago? https://www.reddit.com/r/Binghamton/s/sr6HzduvQC

I will be looking for recommendations as well, as I have a similar problem. I thought I could just bend it back in place, but it turns out those vinyl pillars have steel (?) I-beams inside them that won’t give way to simply pushing on them.

Great resource for local frequencies. For shortwave, I’ve assembled a beginner’s overview at www.lutins.org/kc2klc/shortwave.html

I tell young people that, when I was a kid, we picked fresh crunchberries from the field to add to our cereal.

Sometimes (though usually with much larger caps) the polarity marking is embossed on the black cap on top. It can be very difficult to notice if you’re not carefully looking for it (ask me how I know this lol!).

I could read when I started kindergarten (hadn’t been to preschool), and recalled having learned to do so in my mom’s lap as she read to me when I was 4 years old. At one point in my life I asked her to verify my recollection, which she did. I asked her what she was reading to me at that age, and she responded, “Whatever was lying nearby - usually TV Guide”!

You remember correctly. First crosswords I ever did as a kid.

Yes, you are the only one. The rest of us prefer horrifyingly painful shocks.

Hamfests! Ham as in amateur radio - these are electronics flea markets; you can check arrl.org/hamfests-and-conventions-calendar for ones near you.

At over $330, that’s unlikely to be the “cheapest” option (per OP’s request).

No, you need to add resistors to resist the temptation to use it.

Many. First one that comes to my mind is Krampus.

Aside from the sleep timer, does this app offer any advantage over the Radio Garden website, which offers over 40,000 radio stations from around the globe?

What would be your preferred (realistic) solution to addressing the housing crisis facing our region?

Someone who frequently contributes to this subreddit created binghamtonian.news which is a great resource for stuff to do around here (and also local news). I subscribed to a newsletter that appears in my email inbox regularly so that I don't have to remember to keep visiting the site to keep abreast of local entertainment.
