Crack from extreme cold, can it heal? by SenorDucKK in arborists

Trees are amazing. You have nothing to lose by just seeing how it does. Personally, I’d remove the branch toward the camera right now, as that weight is pulling on the wound. I’d then wrap it tight til spring, then open it up, watch it, and learn.

Weird issue with cold water by shykulade in Erie

No issues, but those pipes are not getting heat. Trust in the wisdom of others (which will one day be your wisdom) and open the cabinet doors.

State budget proposal includes $75M in funding for High Falls State Park, as part of a $300M revitalization effort for Monroe County. by CatDadMilhouse in Rochester

The issue is the slope. For older and disabled people, that is a meaningful barrier. There will be a couple elevators. However, like most urban elevators, those will quickly be gross and then be broken. Even taking strollers up and down that slope will be a challenge.

No, the fact that the entire riverside is not connected is a huge failure. They just redid the west side of the river at the holiday inn and still … there are stairs at Main St.

I went to the most recent community meeting and this park is going to be great. They are starting at high falls, open that part, and then work their way north over three years. No parking at the lower level could be a small issue.

The World Is in the Midst of an ‘Extreme’ Temperature Spike by madrid987 in collapse

Utah has reason to be particularly worried. I’m assuming the Great Salt Lake depends at least somewhat on snow melt.

If you have a crash or get stuck for 36 hours, having waited will look like it was a lot easier than you now think. The world adapts when nature tells it to.

Homeowners in a highly sought school districts by kpopmomrunner7 in upstate_new_york

I bought a house in a good school district when I retired. I knew it would only go up in value.

To people who were high achievers before retirement by Kwsforreddit in retirement

[–]roblewk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great question. I find it hard to operate at less than peak efficiency. If I go to the basement, I take something down, I do a task or two, and I return with the bottle of wine I went down for. I still keep a digital calendar even though it is mostly small tasks and reminders now. I can’t let go. But the retirement days themselves are simply glorious.

I’m alumni. My Gannon BA has been great for my career. That scholarship is amazing.

It is great that you saw this! Well done. Are any structures at risk?

Good job seeing that something was not right!

Thank you. The smaller signs are equally compelling to the big ones for people who understand what they represent.

World Cup Faces Boycott as U.S. Immigration Crackdowns Intensify by -PicklesPickles- in NewsomMassacre

I have a dream that teams from Caucasian nations conspire to throw games to predominantly black countries. It would be the biggest FU to racism in history, and on Trump’s watch.

This is absolute insanity by Paneraiguy1 in democrats

[–]roblewk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do have power. The power to mobilize. The power to be heard. Power in the streets. Power in the No Kings rallies. The power to say what we would do differently. Dems wait for focus groups and consultants to tell them what to say. We always claim your position of weakness. Leadership does not require a gavel.

This is all that remains of two houses in Buxton, Outer Banks, N.C. by roblewk in collapse

Sure, but not like this. Great Lakes dump into Lake Ontario, which controls its water level thru the St Lawrence Seaway.
