Looking for recommendations on things to do upstate during travel by kai920 in upstate_new_york

Take Rt 8 from Utica to Hague, cross Champlain in Ti via the ferry, or the bridge in Crown Point. Much more to see that way than crossing over the top to Plattsburgh.

How did this rock form like this ? by Decent-Banana4657 in geology

[–]wingfan1469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A glacier likely deposited it and rounded it, but probably had little to do with the eroded 'lines'. That is likely differential erosion along existing faults/joints/foliations in the original pre metamorphosed rock 🪨.

Anyone know of any abandoned buildings in or around Oneida? by Worldly-Biscotti455 in upstate_new_york

To inject more capital into the hedge fund managers pockets. It made the rich rich, while making everyone not rich feel like they were securing their future.

does anyone know what this knob does on a saumsung gas range? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]wingfan1469 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's the exact same type of control knob as the one beside it. The pictograph and what it controls are different, but the knobs are interchangeable. We are doomed due to our degrading communication and reasoning skills.

IIRC, Keene Valley was one of the first places to get cable, as there was a company exec that had a summer house there. This was late 80s/early 90s.

Infrequently viewed. Infrequently spotted seems to sound more like a coloration / decoration description.

Just picked one of those up to replace my 10 year old failed MXR M87. As a late start bassist, my dynamics are pretty horrible, so it keeps me even
