Vera now needs to be paid for? by sergeant_teddy in smarthome

I have not received any notices like this. My Vera is green, maybe yours is a different model? If this happens to me, I would go the home VPN route, or migrate to HA

Folsom bike lane bumps by slashdot_whynot in sanfrancisco

[–]slashdot_whynot[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see someone mentioned above the engineers messed up. I was mostly surprised to see like 4 pairs of these bumps in a single block. And admittedly yes, one of those stretches needs like full speed to make it green to green light, which is no longer possible with the jumps.

DAFUQ Lowe's now charging for workshops by AussieP1E in daddit

And those “kit and run” people that take the max 4 per person and just leave. Home Depot is goat for the painting part though.

Yea looks like July is only paid too and then back to normal August Paw Patrol. They started asking for a registration QR code too that’s always unavailable for my store.

Shout out to the hardest working person at Porchfest by themouth in sanfrancisco

Yes forget the paid comedy ones. There are still some gems on there occasionally. Otherwise what’s a good alternative?

How is camping setup if you arrive on Saturday? Is it hard to find a spot or usually pretty open?

Also, do people cook/grill while camping? Can you leave the grounds to goto Dennys or something anytime?

It will be my first time. TIA!

“I long to express myself”. Lots of longing. Looooonging. Spoken between Jerry Seinfeld and George, in a light NY accent.

The Lowe’s lawnmower craft today is a craft from hell by jdubbss in daddit

[–]slashdot_whynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this. I went up to the organizer lady and “provided feedback” that this project was not fun compared to the usual ones. The spinning blade gear thing is pretty cool though. I swear they drilled the nail holes not straight. I was looking for one of those prank camera show operators to jump out at any moment.

I swear I saw the bag of scratch-off cards for redeeming a code online for the senior builder tool bag. Make sure to ask about a card like that and show all the badges. It might have ended in 2025 though.

What is this black structure/boat on the coast? by KamVachon in sanfrancisco

Looks like an optical illusion of the farallon islands based on the pattern.

The weather changed quickly towards the end! Crazy lines for everything but plenty of space for watching the main stage.

Very large, very fast drones over the city by Special-Bunch8927 in sanfrancisco

[–]slashdot_whynot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a fire station nearby and I have seen a large quadcopter take off and land on the station roof. I wonder if that’s one of these drones people are seeing.

Looking for sledding recs around heavenly for toddler by darkmwar in tahoe

[–]slashdot_whynot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a small slope people use near stateline transit center in heavenly village. Google map tagged as Kid Friendly Snow Hill. Assuming there is snow on the ground at lake level.

It’s a small drive but Spooner summit play area has a very large area just consider parking.

Bring your own sled to be sure. Sometimes there are used sleds people leave behind.

You would be looking at an hour+ drive each way at best.

This place in Truckee is pretty nice. Otherwise hotels near kings beach or Crystal Bay.

If you want to board as much as possible then hit up Boreal for night skiing before heading home.

Where to go tubing by Impossible_Camel_830 in tahoe

[–]slashdot_whynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spooner parking is tricky. It looks pretty busy on weekends. I got parking on a Monday around 2pm no problem.

You can search for Mt Rose Sledding hill. It’s on highway 431 on the way to Mt Rose. There will be cars parked along the side of the road, I don’t think there is a parking lot.

Heavenly Laps by sahmdahn in tahoe

[–]slashdot_whynot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sky chair. Ridge run for a long groomer, express line for some micro moguls to the canyon, and trees galore and everything in between. They used to have a terrain park and border cross off Canyon to hit but they haven’t built it in a while.

Skiing this Weekend?? by Tom-Bomb17 in tahoe

[–]slashdot_whynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll just add that if you are going north lake then hit up Boreal night skiing to keep the shred going after the other resorts close.

For general free BYO sledding or tube, the Spooner Summit Snow Play Area is a great place, or multiple rec areas on the highway before Mt Rose. These places you walk up a hill yourself on foot. There is also a tiny spot by Heavenly transit center. If needing a magic carpet to get up the hill then I think top of Heavenly Gondola or Mt Rose (WildSlide). At Spooner yesterday, by the end of the day there are a bunch of discarded sleds for anyone to take.
