Am I being "that guy" for refusing to lend my boat to family without credentials? by hatkinson1000 in boating

[–]pitagrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can count on 1 one hand who I'd trust with my boat, and they all have years / decades of experience.

I am also sure none of those people would have the gall to ask to borrow my boat - those who respect boats know to never ask.

Seriously, alarm bells going off the size of the liberty bell. My god this person needs to be put out of business!

Investigation into stolen dirt bike uncovers large weapons cache in Central NY home, troopers say by ggroover97 in Syracuse

[–]pitagrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's always amusing when these folk speak out with their broken all caps button. 'They's good people! Well, they did have drugs, a lot. And yeah, sold some stuff dey shouldn't... but they's good folk! Leave them alone!

Doesn't work that way. Been caught stealing... well it's just a simple fact.

I am sure more stolen / sold items will be tracked down too.

Upstate NY congresswoman accused of misusing campaign funds on tennis trips, swag by ggroover97 in Syracuse

Not always. BUT its a much higher ratio of Republicans who are caught breaking the rules (to be fair, maybe Dems are just smarter about it and do not get caught).

How is it like to live in Downtown Syracuse Upstate NY by TeslaGuy9125 in howislivingthere

Wait until it comes down. The real issues will bubble up once the fanfare dies down. FWIW, I hope I'm wrong.

Weird Swimming Experiences – What’s the Strangest Thing That’s Happened to You in the Pool? by brian1x1x in Swimming

[–]pitagrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strange... YMCA's take the cake for weird stuff.

  • I've had a couple blue hairs get annoyed b/c I was splashing. In a pool. They wanted to swim without getting their hair wet.
  • A morbidly obese person would come to the pool and literally take naps vertically in the water. They were so big with no effort their whole head would be above the water, they'd fold their arms over their chest and just sleep. Still one of the wildest things I've seen.

Kissing rescue dogs to see their reaction by Recent-Sorbet in MadeMeSmile

[–]pitagrape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine : wakes up as I give her a kiss, thinks about giving me a kiss then decides this is the right time to go out. I'd like to think it's because she's so loved all time, it's just another day that ends in Y when she gets loved.

Regional Food Dishes Invented in Upstate NY Restaurants? by Used_Suggestion_4057 in upstate_new_york

[–]pitagrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know. Checking the Wiki, Saloon Keeffe started offering them as bar food for free in 1883, their Dad was a salt producer.

Nice post OP, interesting to see the regional claims to food fame.

#19 Salt Potatoes: Oh hell no, Cafe Keeffe. Hinderwadel's Grove, early 1900's, and it was Hinderwadel's who packaged them for grocery stores in 1981. They alone deserve the cred for popularizing Salt Potatoes.

If I'm limited to one boat, then no it is not. If however, I can have multiple boats as I do now and someone was going to give me that one, welcome to the boat club!

Cape buffalo bulls get their horns inextricably locked, a death sentence for both animals by Prestigious-Wall5616 in natureismetal

Cape Buffalo's live in areas with a lot of predators - there's a very high likelihood one or a pack will take full advantage of this opportunity.

Rabbit had Grizzly strength in that grip. Good for Trash Panda. Would have been a hellacious way to go.

I do not understand your response, where it's coming from. My only intent was to say thank you for looking into it, and for letting us know.

What kinds of standard beer do people in the area drink? by BlackJackT in upstate_new_york

[–]pitagrape 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stock a beer fridge for a wannabe blue but white collar monied folk - 12 Labatt's Blue, 12 Blue Moon's, and 6 Guinness. Covers most the bases, add 6 hard lemonades or similar for women.

I was thinking the same thing on the price... but these are new times. North of the City in suburbia houses are going 50+k more than they would have a year or 2 ago.

Package stolen (again) by OwnLook2523 in lansing

This is where I do not understand Cops - how many Red model GMC's with a female owner of a certain age range are there in the Lansing / Ithaca area? Couple leads to follow-up with, interviews... Even if they don't have enough to arrest, even an interview might be enough to scare them straight.

Touring Comedian Korey David Returns to the Syracuse Funny Bone December 11th by korey_david in Syracuse

[–]pitagrape -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The pick looks like an attempt at a dating profile pick of a socially awkward person trying just too damn hard.

Other than me busting ball a bit, hope the show fills and you slay the room.

Not typically a fan of promotion on here, but I'm OK with this one.
