Fedex has been a black hole for us. Shipments get halfway here then drop into the abyss for weeks at a time.
I've had a 2300lb engine stuck in Eastern NY since the 21st. Vehicle is supposed to be back on the road by April 1st...

Back in the early-mid 90s, was making Donuts at Dunkin on 3rd shift.
People were constantly lining up for freshly-dipped, still-warm French Crullers at 2:30am without fail.

All my detectors are plug-in. Being a congenital /r/anosmia sufferer, I need to have multiple explosive gas detectors (at $60-$80 a pop) and all of them require AC power with 9v only as a backup.

Hit a medium sized deer in my 2013 Sonic (142k) at about 40mph last fall. Bastard rolled down the entire left side of the car and didn't even have the decency to die.
Yanked out the LH fender by hand and had to climb in and out through the passenger door for 2 months until it could get into the shop, but that little tank is still purring away! I'll be shocked if I get less than 250k out of it. Amazing how doing regular maintenance can make things last damn near forever.

Any that do at this point are just opening up themselves to be robbed.
Go and ask in /r/pharmacy and you'll see.

Reply to comment by nikedude in Made in Connecticut: ASML in Wilton is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world by jaydecay123
Many of their warehouses are actually located in NYS. Back in my commercial air cargo days, we handled ASML export shipments daily. A lot of what we would receive would be out of Newburgh and Poughkeepsie. Many of the crates were large enough that they would barely fit into a standard trailer, never mind being back-weighted to one corner so that even the biggest forklift we could fit onto the truck did not have forks long enough to get it cleaning off the floor. Between that along with the electronic shockwatches and Tip'n'Tells, they were interesting to move around at times.

No pharmacy will tell you over the phone what their inventory on any controlled medication is. This is a liability issue.

I have the Kobalt 80V. Batteries are 5AH and 2.5AH. (I also have the lawnmower, leaf blower, string trimmer and hedge trimmer.)
My driveway is about 60' long, but only need it for about 40' of it. I should be able to easily clear it with the 2.5AH with juice to spare. The batteries recharge fast enough that by the time I drain one, the other would be ready to go again.

If it's the light fluffy stuff and little wind, I'm going to start with the leaf blower instead.

The easiest way by far to get a permit is to be living out of State when you apply. It is a much simpler process to get a non-resident permit; once you move into the State, you can convert it into a resident.

The one in Vernon isn't, unfortunately. It's supposed to be cars stopping and taking turns to go through. Recently some idiots have tried blowing past the line only to get stopped halfway through and forced to back out.

I remember back when the Easthampton one first opened up, back before all the dealers found out about it and would clog it up for hours with their transactions. You could walk in and literally go straight to the counter because there were maybe 2 other customers total.

CT has appointments for everything as well. If you go into that subreddit, you'll find the DMV is nearly universally praised by people for how their experiences have been since Covid.
My last experience in Enfield, I had to get a duplicate title for my car. My appointment was at 4:15pm. You'd think they would almost certainly be running behind, but I got seen right on time. The guy helping me was very efficient, done in under 5 minutes with title in hand.
