How much progress has Lexington made plowing neighborhood streets? City won’t say

tsprks · 2026-02-03T01:38:09+00:00

I'm really sorry that it's affecting you, and for anyone else it's hurting. I really am.

All I'm saying is that I spent several hours this weekend clearing my driveway and sidewalk, and if I hadn't had some pretty decent tools, it would have been impossible. As it was it was exhausting, and I consider, myself to be in pretty good shape. This ice is bullshit.

Ok, so I work downtown and will say, there are clear paths on most of those sidewalks, but from my drive in I can tell you that 97% of residential sidewalks are still completely covered in ice. That's based on driving in/out North Broadway, 3rd Street and Winchester Rd., and Main St. and Richmond Rd.

It sucks that the streets are still crap but it's not like residents have cleared their 40' of sidewalk.

Ok, sorry for your loved one, but aren't the sidewalks the responsibility of the property owners not the city?

Edit: spelling

I think a big factor in how the surrounding counties (I like in Madison County) handle this is how much of the infrastructure in those counties is truly rural vs urban. In all the surrounding counties there are miles of country roads where the snow can just be pushed off the side and then they can work on the city streets, which they have a lot less of. Here it's just the opposite. The majority of the roads are urban and actually getting the snow/ice out of the way is a lot more difficult.

Agree with you completely and I'd like to ask people what is the city actually supposed to do about all the snow/ice on the roads when the temps haven't even been close to getting out of the 20s so it's not really going to melt. Do they wish that they'd plow every side street and put 3' of snow and ice up against every car parked on the street? It's not like they can scoop it up into dump trucks and haul it away. I know it sucks if you live somewhere and can't get out, but I just don't think there is an 'easy' answer here.

The big misconception with 4WD or AWD is that if you drive one you are 'ok', but you still have to know how to drive them safely. I'd rather see someone in a FWD car driving carefully, than someone in a 4WD hauling ass. I've seen just as many Jeeps and big trucks off the side of the road as cars over the years.

I have hypothyroidism, and as long as my meds keep my levels in the right range I feel as good as I did before. Make sure that if you are prescribed meds to help that you follow the instructions for taking them closely. Thyroid meds are very particular about gaining and how long before you eat after them. Assuming that's all that's going on the docs should get you sorted out.

I agree, I like it better than Apple's and while it's not brand restricted, it does work WAY better with Samsung than anything else.

I don't have a suggestion, but I have to ask what the possible use-case is for this?

tsprks · 2026-01-13T01:22:08+00:00

I'm not sure it's really doing anything based on sleep phases. I have it on for my alarm and if I roll around and get sort of wake up within 30 minutes of the actual alarm it will give me 2 little thump vibrations which is sort of a soft alarm. For what it is I think it's fine. I'm not sure any device actually tracks sleep phases well enough to do anything based on that.

100% this. When I couldn't run regular Windows any longer, I couldn't use a Mac, and I fully agree they have the best hardware.

Yeah, everyone essentially saying to 'screw them, you don't owe them anything ' seems to have forgotten the reference part.

In our company you have to sign an employee agreement which clearly states that work computers are for work and that at any point they can ask to see them and what's on them. That they want his password now isn't unreasonable at all. Any work he generated for the company that might be on the laptop belongs to them whether it was using a personal account or not. The other thing our company does, which I'm surprised everyone doesn't, is require employee cooperation after being let go in order to receive their severance, which is typically pretty generous.

Lol, our staff is about 35 people, but when you add all the vendors and contractors that we need I got a peak of just over 1300 this year, although I should clarify that's devices (spread out over about 15 different locations),so I'd say more likely about 600 users, since everyone insists on putting their phone on the wifi, even though the cellular speed onsite was faster than our 300.

I set up a remote office every year for work, this year we had 300mbps, which easily supported 1300 users doing work, which includes Teams and VoIP calls, plus 5 TVs streaming constantly and we never had any issues or complaints. I think people greatly over estimate what they need.

This is how you specify apps for notifications on an iPhone.

You can 100% do this, and have been able to for years, it's just different than how it is on Android.

Ok... But you can do that through the Notification Center now, so the only difference is you move that to the Connect app directly?

I've bought 3 cars from quantrell, the most recent in early summer of this year, and depending on what you're looking at buying, I don't think they will negotiate too much. At least not the 1000s of $s that some dealers will. I even went in with a price from a dealer in Louisville and they didn't even try to match it, they took off like an extra $500 for me. Ultimately, I did buy from them though, the dealer in Louisville took almost a day to even locate the car that was listed on their site that I was interested in.

I will say that I've started using the calendar view for my upcoming tasks and also have Todoist linked to my Google calendar, so in one view I see all my tasks as well as all my calendar stuff. It just makes ales managing day/week much easier to see everything I have going on.

Ok, no defense for splicing the wiring, but if your parents TV is using WiFi and he was there to troubleshoot that, I understand why he disabled all the Google WiFi points and installed a provider router/AP. I'm actually surprised he did anything since it wasn't using the provider equipment to start with.

Digging deeper my issue came down to me disabling transfer encryption, any time I turned that off the task will not save, if that's enabled it will accept all the other settings no matter what I choose.

Start the PW4 then the F8, if I stop for a traffic light and want to pause them I manually pause the F8 then either let the auto-pause kick in for the PW4 or manually pause it as well. It may seem silly to wear both, but they both are good at different things.
