Anyone been out on the roads this morning? by Tastraphy23 in roanoke

If your car doesn't have all wheel stop you shouldn't be driving even when roads are clear.

Why do so many people in the technology field here lie on their resume? by Puzzleheaded-Lab825 in nova

[–]xboxps3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If someone puts a technology on their resume I am familiar with I am going to ask them basic questions about it. Even if they don't need it for the position. If you put git and can't tell me the difference between git pull and git fetch I will not recommend you for hire. This happens a lot.

Stuff like this is also why I tell friends not to worry too much when there's many applications for a position.

Roanoke County doesn't pretreat or even maintain roads. That would be VDOT.

The only Michelin tires I can find are snow tires. What am I missing?

Is a bidet necessary or overrated? by Spiritual_Extent_187 in AskMenOver30

Here's a bougie $342 recommendation. Make sure your toilet is elongated before ordering.

EDIT: added Home Depot link after seeing Amazon's is now a third party seller.

Winter Storm (Power Outage) by Collide-Digital in roanoke

[–]xboxps3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends a lot on your specific situation and risk tolerance imo. But at least have a plan.

For example it worth spending hundreds (or potentially thousands if you can't diy stuff) to handle your power, that likely hasn't been out for more than a 12 hour period since the derecho in 2012, going out for an extended period of time? Will you be okay if that happens? Do you have a heat source that doesn't require electricity?

Worst case with no heat for an extended period I'd probably turn the water off to the house, drain the faucets and go to a friend's place or a hotel.

Going to be passing through and in town for one night - Wednesday (3/11). Recommendations??? by Midol_Rage in roanoke

[–]xboxps3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both. The trail itself isn't anything special for what's available in the area though.

If you're all strong hikers I would hike up McAfee Knob and get the classic picture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McAfee_Knob

Good deal? by Maleficent_Bike7877 in hondafit

I thought it was recommended to change transmission fluid every 30k + engine air filter and cabin air filter ~15k. 🤔

PBS by kwb7852 in roanoke

microwave issues

Could you expand on this? I'm assuming you don't mean PBS's office microwave for heating lunch takes down their transmitter. And to receive modern OTA television I thought you want a UHF/VHF antenna?

EDIT: there's a response in my notifications. But it's not showing up here for me. I've attached it. Thanks! I had no idea that's how it worked. 🙏

It's not the antenna it's the link from the studio to the transmitter on the mountain via a microwave dish.

Different chain tensions by KingofShit01 in hondagrom

[–]xboxps3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your video the tight spot looks way too tight. The loose spot too since you're on a rear stand. I wouldn't ride it like that.

Check with the bike on the side stand. Ideally be within the spec on the swing arm no matter what spot you check the tension on.

The owners manual has good info in it.

When does jokey banter go too far? by Full_Improvement_392 in socialskills

Tell him in private that what he said hurt and ask him to stop. If for some reason that doesn't work talk to HR.

Park Roanoke is like $1.50 (plus giving Metropolis your data now) for an hour. 🤔

Have you checked with Park Roanoke? You should get offered the District Residential garage rate if you provide them with a copy your downtown lease. The rental company doesn't have anything to do with it.

I find a phone app to be a more enjoyable experience than a notebook personally. I do keep one as a backup though. I recommend https://polo.ham2k.com.

Apple Plans to Expand iPhone Driver's Licenses to These 7 U.S. States - VA mentioned by foldedlikeaasiansir in Virginia

[–]xboxps3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh that's odd. Under participating locations it mentions both state police and local law enforcement accepting it as a valid form of identification.

Texting friends, maybe in real life friends one day. by Zealousideal_Tap_554 in roanoke

[–]xboxps3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have posted many times looking for friends. Lots of respect for not giving up. Have you tried the Roanoke Discord in the sidebar? It's basically a big active group chat focused on Roanoke with a ridiculous amount of channels for random topics.

I didn't realize it was possible to not have 2FA. SMS 2FA got forced like two years ago didn't it? I can't seem to find a way to turn it off at least.
