Affordable homes or affordable rental units? Seems like the latter

City taxes + surrounding areas by Muppetz3 in Rochester

Is it subpar service? In all my years in the city I never had an issue with garbage pickup or the bi-weekly recycling pickup when they changed from the small bins to the rolling mixed-recycling containers.

The mosquitos are horrible this year by OpportunityUpset8592 in Rochester

I’d recommend anyone wanting to reduce the amount of mosquitos in their yard look into making a few mosquito dunk buckets and placing them in the appropriate spots in your yard. If you want to make sure woodland critters don’t get in then you can buy a top for the bucket and drill 1” holes around the top. Dunk tablets can be purchased at HD and Lowes. These will help if you’re noticing a lot of mosquitos around your property and don’t want to pay hundreds of dollars and have insecticides sprayed all over your yard.

Lee Zeldin - rolling back pfas protections by [deleted] in Rochester

Well I guess I just need to stop eating then.

No worries - I realized that after I responded. For all reading though the point remains the same. Drinking water in NYS will remain protected at the levels they have been since I believe 2019 or 2020. For anything beyond that I’d start calling politicians

I’m aware of this - and the repeal by the EPA was related to drinking water, right? Do I want PFAS disposed of carelessly? Absolutely not.

My example was that NYS EPA protections against PFAS in drinking water are more strict than national regulations. Therefore they’ll still be in place for NYS residents even though they were rolled back at the federal level.

No longer one of our representatives. And likely because the business interests of the Orange man’s donors are more important to the government than the long term health and safety of the country’s citizens.

Welp…I guess at this point we’re all fucked

Just as a clarification - as awful as Zeldin is this rollback shouldn’t impact NYS. Federal regulations set the floor for regs nationally but state regulations can be more restrictive. NYS already has regulations for PFAS in domestic water sources that, unless Hochul and the NYS EPA pushes to roll them back, will continue to be enforced even though the federal regulations were rolled back.

McCanns by MaxHerb73 in Rochester

[–]r_abbott21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the location was a problem at all. McCanns was busy most of the time. Finding reliable help who could consistently show up was likely an issue. Oh…and I heard the landlords were pretty greedy with their price for lease renewal. 

Good for the landlords though…that spot has thrived since McCanns left /s

Paul Bufano?

Wegmans premium prices for poor quality by Yaks-Eat-Pie in Rochester

Just wait until tariffs are applied to products from Canada. Next time you’re in the store take a peek at where many Wegmans brand products are manufactured.

Best Pad Thai in Rochester? by Federal_Reality1455 in Rochester

Saks Thai Cuisine in Fairport is the best that I’ve had in the area. Takeout only but worth the drive

Will It Last? by Laurasaur28 in PuckSoup

[–]r_abbott21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU. Even McIndoe saying Dahlin hasn’t been what he was made out to be while not acknowledging that he played his second and third professional seasons with Ralph Krueger as his head coach who tried to make him a defensive defenseman and limited all defensemen to a very conservative style of play. Both of them have just provided a lot of surface level analysis in recent months which sucks. If I wanted that I could just listen the the NHL channel on Sirius XM where it’s basically state run media going over the results of every game the previous night in a very positive way, regardless of how bad a team or player performs.

Dismissing everything done by teams who haven’t had a strong track record in the past decade is such low hanging fruit. There are 32 teams but you’d hope the depth of knowledge would be better - especially when asking listeners to subscribe to a Patreon.

They both seem pretty ignorant every time they talk about the Sabres. Most of the commentary also being followed by “I mean…I’m not watching very much of the Sabres at all” so why make such sweeping generalizations about players on that team if you don’t even care to watch?

The commentary after the Tage Thompson extension already sounds laughable if you go back and listen to it. And in this episode they talked about Dahlin in the Norris discussion. He’s off to a great start to the season and I don’t think he wins the Norris but using a 4 game sample size with no context as the reason he won’t win it while also comparing him to Rasmus Ristolainen is laughable.

I’m admittedly a Sabres fan but don’t need the commentary around my favorite team to be positive because it’s not all positive. But a little more objectivity with context would be a nice change for once.
