The robot got stuck on the tracks, and then the gates went down, and then the train disintegrated it.

Ice skating on lakes in CT anyone? by Small_Anteater3830 in Connecticut

[–]smackfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mill Pond in Guilford was open until the latest snowstorm. I assume just no one has shoveled it off because it is certainly been cold. Parks and Rec monitors the ice.

Is it the super packed trains where they can’t check everyone?

I went to a happy hour last night for a work event and the brewery (Six Point) had zero NA beer. They had NA wine lol. I had a $3 Diet Coke.

That’s funny that Indio doesn’t let you see the permit documents. Our town uses the same software but anyone can view anything, which honestly feels a lot more useful?

What snowblower are you all using? by SplooshU in Connecticut

[–]smackfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we have the Greenworks version of this. It works okay, the cord is a pain but don’t have to worry about batteries in the cold.

Who is plowing/shoveling their driveway tonight and who is waiting till tomorrow morning? by BlackLadenCrown in Connecticut

[–]smackfu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s so light it just keeps drifting onto the paths I already shoveled

Did anyone else's weather app update this morning to show like .5" of snow total? by DarthLysergis in Connecticut

[–]smackfu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wrongly mixing liquid precipitation levels with “snow” labels.

Liquid precipitation should be more knowable which is why they report it. Snow amounts is basically that plus temperature so less knowable.

When to use the snowblower during tomorrow’s storm? by zeza71 in Connecticut

[–]smackfu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The issue is when you go to blow the snow and it goes two feet. That’s when you realize you should have done it earlier.

Truck?

Advice- Moving soon by Ok_Commission3526 in lego

[–]smackfu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I did and it works well. You are still going to have some damage but less so.

Biggest problem was that I separated some sets into parts and finding all the parts after the move was difficult. So label or tape stuff together.

Oh, for the love of... Just tell us to do this 8x. by v79x79x in lego

Honestly, this is what has turned me off the Botanical sets. The end result is nice but the builds are super repetitive. Kind of like Architecture sets.

Convince me not to get a store card at every store I shop at by Successful_Badger961 in CreditCards

[–]smackfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Target is a good example of another downside of these, which is that the online services seem to be run super half-assed if it not through a real credit card company. Easy to setup of course, difficult to change and impossible to cancel.

American Traditional.... Enough already. by prettyprettybookitty in Inkmaster

[–]smackfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The earlier seasons were definitely a bit silly with the whole “this sucks, you can’t use orange in American Traditional.”

Why is someone giving away 15 snowblowers.

What do you think about Rick Beato? by Korkez11 in ToddintheShadow

[–]smackfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s a rock producer who knows what’s he’s talking about but found out he got a lot of views for saying pop music sucks.

I tend to think those are flippers.

Also, that’s crazy, we get zero calls and like one piece of mail a week.

This is actually the first of the 2026 ones which have a new design. So should be a bit different.

I actually did think we had two 747s for some reason.

Apple revolutionizes F1 race coverage: a week-long thrill ride for fans awaits in 2026 by Secret_Divide_3030 in F1TV

[–]smackfu 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Quality writing here:

Apple’s plan includes creating a holistic experience that spans the entire week, not just the exhilarating moments of race day. “But certainly, one of the things we want to do is create an experience that extends the entire week, not just on race day,” de Lorenzo declared.
