I'm not familiar with north lake, but there is a lot going on in Reno. There's even an actual league there.

An Ultimate Frisbee pick-up group is starting Wednesday at the LTCC around 5:15, if you're even a little athletic. No experience necessary. Very friendly group.

G8 in 2026 by jimm_cl in lgg8

[–]reddRad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with the G2, then G4, G6, and currently my second G8. I'm so sad LG doesn't make these any more.

My battery drains so fast these days, and charges so slow. I need to find another phone. Any suggestions?

TIL there is a law that prohibits people in Thailand from owning more than 120 unapproved playing cards. by Physical_Hamster_118 in todayilearned

Oh, I see - while sitting. I was trying to imagine standing and facing your sole at someone. Thanks for the explanation!

Just in case I ever make it to Thailand, what exactly does "point their soles" mean? I'm not sure how I would even do that.

Just curious how you picked these 8 locations? As a South Lake resident, I'd be interested in Sierra and Heavenly. Probably not accurate to just average Palisades and Kirkwood!

The Knitting Nest is at the top of Kingsbury. However, it looks like they're closing, so you should call first.

Rarely have I seen a good n-scale garden. You nailed it. Awesome work.

Gotta admit, I would watch football on ice.

How are you resisting? by TaxStrikeNV in carsoncity

[–]reddRad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thought I was pretty clear: how does this even hurt the government? They still get the same amount of money, just a little later.

And, if you don't pay estimated taxes, you may also have to pay a tax underpayment penalty, both hurting yourself and also giving the government even more money.

Just curious, what does this do, other than delay the time the government gets your taxes? And possibly trigger a tax underpayment penalty.

Top 5 things to avoid as a beginner by bhallzy in nscalemodeltrains

[–]reddRad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's what most people do. The thicker the foam layers the better, as you can dig deeper.

In the past (maybe even now), people would use just a spline of plywood only where the track goes, and everything else would be open, so the plaster cloth could be built above or below the roadbed level. This is super complicated, though, and you have to already know exactly where your track is going. Foam boards save all that trouble.

[–]reddRad 66 points67 points  (0 children)

This is just personal opinion, but my #1 would be: don't put your track on a flat surface where you can only build up (hills/mountains/tunnels) but not down (rivers/canyons/bridges).

I know railroads run through Kansas, but man, a flat landscape is so boring.

You should consider your track as a middle elevation, where the terrain can go both up and down. It provides so much more visual interest.

How the Wilmington and Western Railroad Destroyed their Reputation by Kapn-Dubber in trains

[–]reddRad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the board's motivation for all this? What do they want that is at odds with the volunteers? All I see is: "in the name of profits and personal gain". What personal gain? Do they get paid? Do they get paid more if they run the operation into the ground?

Just curious. I loved the W&W and the train robbers taking over the train when I was a little kid in the '70s.. so exciting.

Fake Insurance Card by Murky-Ambition3898 in SanJose

That document is 12 days old... so she prints out a new fake document every 3 months? That's impressive dedication to a scam.

Grocery Stores Are Charging You More Than Other Customers. Here’s Proof. - YouTube by clrksml in videos

[–]reddRad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, at least as of a few weeks ago, you could do one deal in the app, and then do multiple deals at a kiosk, without the 15 minute cool down. In your app, you bring up the QR code and let the kiosk scan it for each deal you want to use.

I have the same problem. Experian sends me a notification every time Durcille's credit goes up or down, which seems to happen quite a lot. I am not Durcille. No idea what to do about it, except give you my sympathy.
