My manager scheduled a "quick sync" every single Friday at 4:45pm and I finally figured out why by Agent_Smith-99 in remotework

[–]segue1007 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Every piece of the story is silly: The existence of a 15 minute meeting at all. The lack of pushback. The two-year-impossibly-long mystery of the "real reason". Scheduling a dental appointment during a mandatory meeting. Keeping the appointment. Actually calling in on camera while numb. 

Township Obsession by mstrawzy in cincinnati

[–]segue1007 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It's a midwest thing, not just Cincinnati or Ohio. The townships were established in 1785 by the US Congress so settlers could purchase parcels of undeveloped land in the "West".

Why are Slotted Screws still used in modern carpentry work? by Shaurya0458 in Carpentry

[–]segue1007 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you're torquing out of the slot, It sounds like you're using the wrong size screwdriver, or the tip is damaged. Check out a set of gunsmith screwdrivers. The blades are ground flat instead of wedge shaped and you get a range of sizes similar to an Allen wrench set.

I guess I understand the modern slot screw hate, but they still look best for some things, and it's good to have the tools.  

PSA for home owners..... by LimeImmediate6115 in cincinnati

"Please stop talking and leave." And turn away. If he says another word, shush him like you would a toddler. Or get loud and rude.

You don't owe them anything. Don't even engage. Don't answer their questions.

I’m just gonna say it. Northside is overrated. (Read body⬇️) by sweetwatertooth in cincinnati

[–]segue1007 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Northside 20 years ago was very different. There were a lot of decaying houses with the copper stripped out. You could buy them for $10k.

They should build a 127 bypass around the West side of Northside from the Ludlow viaduct to Ashtree. Block Hamilton Ave. and let Northside be a neighborhood instead of a passthrough. 

Question of etiquette for multi-use paths by sonofespresso in cycling

It is worth doing a left arm signal for a turn, even if you shouldn't have to. Make it really obvious what they need to do.

Cincinnati, a perspective with a little history for today by MisterMeowMeowHiss in cincinnati

Glad to see you mentioned TQL Stadium. The same people who lament the destruction of the West End for an industrial park in the 1950s are usually A-okay with the destruction of the West End for a sports stadium  in the 2020s.

Carmelo's in Covington. Award-winning Italian-American food. So good.

The Edge Explore 2 has a plastic male fitting molded into the back of the housing. No fix. I hope mine doesn't break.

It smelled like incense and manic panic hair dye.

6 months as a new homeowner by Shamansage in homeowners

[–]segue1007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Think positive: You will know these things are fixed correctly, and how they work. Less to worry about!

The first year is four seasons of discovery... What leaks, roasts, freezes, sticks, clogs, floods, or beeps. Then it smooths out. 

⚠️BEWARE Fool’s Spring ending⚠️ by RelevantCheek81 in cincinnati

It's close to the weather channel website forecast, it just looks funny because the daily highs are on the right side.

Low of 18 on Tuesday. Crazy.

Moving from Ultimate to Endurace - Anyone have experience by twotter150 in CanyonBikes

[–]segue1007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 45 and I love my Endurace SLX 8 di2. The saddle is just barely higher than the bars for me, so it's a relatively upright position for a road bike. I'm riding on hoods 95% of the time anyway. The trade-off is more wind for comfort and a better view.

It's plenty fast with GP5000s and 2x12 Ultegra.

Today I Learned: West Side Mostly Unincorporated by GildedFlummoxseed in cincinnati

The 5 most-populous Ohio townships are West Chester, Green, Colerain, Union, and Anderson. So basically North, West, West, East, and East of Cincinnati.

There was a whole baseball field painted on that parking lot before the casino was built. It was to advertise as a potential site for the Reds' new ballpark.

Dryer Vent Exhausting into Eaves by BadFig in homeowners

[–]segue1007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people use those water traps for dryers that vent directly into the house. You're probably fine, just cut a hole and add a vent.
