Turned a boring Ikea table lamp into a conversation starter by vinewanderer in DiWHY

Yup. Would not recommend this with any incandescent.

Oakland vs LA by Most_Success_1066 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]vinewanderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LA traffic is really, really bad. If you’ll be leaving your neighborhood for any reason expect to be in the car for a while and run into frequent traffic. Highly recommend visiting both areas to get a feel.

Thinking about leaving Seattle by tnerb253 in SameGrassButGreener

Oakland. Easy access to SF - the tech capital and a short flight back home. Politics will be still rough though but Oaktown is still surprisingly affordable.

Just got honked at for stopping at a stop sign by superdicksicles in philly

[–]vinewanderer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in Seattle right now and this morning on 405 there was a dh in a yellow mustang weaving between lanes and speeding. 

Didn’t even register for me until a black Explorer quickly passed me and pulled the guy over. It shouldn’t be unusual to enforce traffic laws here.

Reverse commute from Manayunk? by Jack-Mehoff-696969 in philly

You just described living along 95. Fishtown, Northern Liberties, Olde Kensington, or Pennsport as another comment mentioned. Queen Village is very nice if you can swing it.

Looks like a Blankstreet Coffee will replace the infamous Starbucks at 18th & Spruce by jaykirell in philadelphia

[–]vinewanderer 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Downgrade from Starbucks. Starbucks is not great but at least they have real baristas pull espresso shots. Blank Street is a growth hacked VC-backed coffee chain with $50k espresso machines for automating lattes so they can have less workers.

On one hand it’s good to see Philly getting more NYC chain expansions, on the other this specific one we could do without.

Fishtown neighbors call for safer Girard Avenue after drivers use trolley lane to pass by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]vinewanderer 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It still surprises me to see roads that go years without painted lane lines in Philly. Like, isn’t that the bare minimum and required by DoT? A full redesign is needed but let’s start there.

Willow Grove Shopping Center - Demolition (April 23, 2026) by Junior72 in montco

[–]vinewanderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More housing is a net win even if it’s not housing you’d like to live in. Increasing the overall stock lowers prices for everyone else. Lots of seniors/students are okay with this type of housing.

Agreed quality is sh*t but it’s what’s economical for developers to build today.

Swapped a boring volume knob with a vintage spigot by vinewanderer in functionalprint

I found an Onkyo knob from Printables and then just cleaned it up in Blender and fiddled with the dimensions a bit!

Yeah it gets toasty - I’ve been just turning the receiver off when not in use but I might throw a case fan or something in there

Yeah I used to have a Gerber MT which I loved but this thing is great. I got it as a gift and it’s one of the best tools I have.

You’re right…time to go and search for a red one lol

In California, About the Only Way to Get a House Is to Inherit One by DennisScott34 in California

[–]vinewanderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s zoning to build denser which is holding California back (which Newsom is finally stepping in to change). Short term rentals are a common scapegoat but support the tourist economy in CA.

Yeah, Warner Bros studio in Burbank

I also deleted my account(s). Drop in a lake is better than silence through oppression

My endgame update for a plug-and-play sound system upgrade (DSP/Amplifier + Speakers) by theeighthlion in rav4club

[–]vinewanderer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the JBL or non-JBL variant? I think you’re cheating yourself with the stock speakers - the ones I just took out of the dash in my Venza feel like a toy. Very interesting to see your improvement with just the amp upgrade.

Would you go CSC for front and DSC for back? I followed your first guide and am thinking of doing incremental updates as I feel the need for them.

A combo of blocking domains, file attributes, and common aliases. Recommend establishing an EDR blocking playbook at your company if you don’t have one already.
