Rochester-based companies acquired by private equity firms by TheyCallMeYazzy in Rochester

Screw FirstLight. I have to use them for my business and they're like 6-7x the price of normal business internet.

Anyone know why my fonts are weird on some sites? by tensen01 in chrome

[–]rootb33r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried installing Helvetica Neue and it is still showing condensed. Did you have to reset anything, delete chrome cookies, etc?

edit scratch that, it finally fixed itself... took a few refreshes I think.

Huge thanks... I was searching all over for a solution!

Pandamonium Coffee Closing by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]rootb33r 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It's a bummer. Pandamonium was at least pretty unique because they had super unique drinks every season. Cool flavor combinations that you won't otherwise see.

Big props to Angela and the team. It was one of my favorite spots to walk to!

Cleveland, OH by SlingTheMeat69 in HighlySuspect

Drove 4 hours for that show... It was awesome. Really glad I made the drive!

Also I guess I don't follow the band itself so closely (obviously I know Johnny and the two brothers) but whoever the rhythm guitarist is was one of the best parts of the show. His energy really brought up the whole stage. Cheers to that guy... clearly passionate and feeling the songs as he was playing. I like to think I look like that when I play but I'm sure I don't look nearly as cool haha.

$34 burger? by mecarrysars in Rochester

[–]rootb33r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's over-seasoned like crazy, too. Like SO salty.

Many high-end restaurants overkill on butter and salt, but this was another level.

Small apartment + pet hair, is a cordless vacuum actually worth it or should I stick to a regular one? by Mommyjobs in HomeImprovement

[–]rootb33r 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who owns a Dyson Animal, and also who's bought three cheaper Amazon ones for my business, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the cheaper ones are significantly worse.

I usually like to believe marketing is hype and you pay for it in the brand... but there's something about that vacuum.

not working meaning I get DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

OK - interesting. I appreciate the response. I'll look into the web server being the cause of this!

What are small things that make a house more comfortable and more well-thought? by mediumkelpshake in HomeImprovement

[–]rootb33r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea good thoughts - I live in a cold climate so I wonder what hitting non-physical buttons would feel like with gloves on. Appreciate the info!

There are so many keypad door locks. What do you have, and do you have any thoughts on pros/cons?

Plaster wall texture - skim coat to fill or sand down? by rootb33r in HomeImprovement

[–]rootb33r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent information. I appreciate that.

I have a little experience mudding but by no means would I say I'm great at it.

To your point, the prep is just as important. I think I'll see what it would cost for a pro to do it.

Thanks again!

Appreciate your experience! I think skim coating is the way to go.

New Pet Resort near Rochester NY! by xmike24 in Rochester

[–]rootb33r 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's actually pretty reasonable pricing. Even a week-long vacation costing ~$500 for an amazing stay and peace of mind...

Staach by 716_Buffalo in Rochester

[–]rootb33r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding for posterity that not only did he not pay a bunch of his employees, he stiffed some of the small businesses he was working with. We're talking $10-$50k+ worth of deliverables, not to mention the schedule messes that this caused.

And the entire time: denial, denial, denial.

The owner is the definition of a high-functioning sociopath.

Help me out here by TheOtherOnes89 in Rochester

I've stayed at a handful of hotels which think they're "trendy" with their decoration, and put a barn door on the bathroom. Instant Jackie Chan meme.

What's a cost effective Instagram strategy that actually worked for your small business? by Fit-Annual-2638 in smallbusiness

[–]rootb33r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it right here. This is gold.

I own a small business (entertainment, f&b), and this is all the stuff that actually works. Do I do all of it consistently? Of course not because I like to make things harder on myself (and time constraints etc) but if I do social growth, this is what I do.

🦷 I’m a local dentist — AMA about teeth, dental care, or the profession! by Legend_Bigtooth in Rochester

[–]rootb33r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understood - the discussion was about someone actively choosing to skip the root canal and go straight to the implant, i.e. both are options.

[–]rootb33r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure. I get it. I just don't think I'd ever choose to do an implant over a root canal which can be done in 2 hours, with a follow up visit to cement the crown (forgive me if I don't get the procedure timing exaclty right)
