no stupid questions thread

also it’s like two feet from the curb too so it sticks out on the road m

[nocera]

I don’t know, man. That seems like some suburb drama.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

It just feels like it was encroaching on my space and I didn’t know if I had any quick fixes for getting rid of it


that said, it resolved itself. Yesterday there was some roadwork on the road and a construction worker knocked on my door, asking if that car was my car or if I knew whose it was. I didn’t and they ended up towing it

sucks to suck

If I live in an urban area, it’s normal. My house? Rural pa on a dead end street and there’s a car parked in front for an extended time? Yeah…. I’m asking some questions.

[skullman80]

I'd be annoyed if someone parked in front of our house for several days. We live in a neighborhood it would just be weird.

We have people park in front of our house during pool season cause the parking lot for the pool fills up quick. Sometimes they will be there most of the day. No big deal that's expected just don't block our driveway.

Now if it was several days ...that would be annoying. Not annoying enough to do anything but to make sure no dead body but annoying none the less.

Speaking of parking, our new neighbors - unlike the previous ones - are actually using their driveway instead of parking all over the street.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

did they not use the driveway at all previously?

[NTP66]

They had some junker that didn’t rub in one spot, and an empty trailer in the other (some of the time, otherwise empty).

What’s the earliest acceptable time to cut grass on a weekend morning?

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

9

[MWB]

I would say 9.

[skullman80]

Agree 9 unless you got a quiet electric mower.

[RonnieFranchise]

9 but usually I find the grass is too wet till like 11.

[nocera]

I waited til 10:30 so now I feel like a really good neighbor. Next time it’s 9 though.

[count2infinity]

Yeah… morning mows are tough with the dew. But if it’s before 9 and dry, I say go for it. Eff neighbor’s sleep in.

[NTP66]

I mow at 9 on Thursdays simply because it’s cooler outside.

[MWB]

Thursday is the coolest day of the week?

[NTP66]

No, it’s just the one day where my entire morning is free at work (no meetings). It’s cool at 9am.

What’s the earliest acceptable time to cut grass on a weekend morning?

After 10am following Monday. #workfromhome

Honestly, if you're asking this question, add at least one hour to whatever time you were considering, and ponder further.

I was considering starting at 10. I’m not a mad man.

[NTP66]

Or just stick with 9am.

[Shyster]

Noon.

I have a ceiling fan with a candelabra light, the two cord type - one cord for the fan, one for the lights. Yesterday, I flipped the unit on at the switch and all of the bulbs came on for a split second, then went off. The fan kept running the whole time. I pulled the light cord on the fan to turn off the lights, then pulled it again for them to come back on. They did and they remained working for 30 min or so before I turned the unit off at the switch. I didn't think much of it.

This morning I flipped the switch and the same thing happened. Lights blinked on then off, and I had to pull the cord (which would typically turn them off), then pull it again to turn them back on at which point they worked.

Any idea what would cause this? Seems so random and weird.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

they’re not “smart lights” are they?

[NTP66]

Sounds like there's a short somewhere in that housing.
