Reply to Hair salon/stylist for men's hair, or barber that will do longer (medium-length) hair? by RhinoMan2112
Check out Aruverde for Rosebud Salon, not only do they do a great job with cut and styling but they educated me on how to take care of my curls. I have shoulder length hair and it was a revelation!

I've only used it a couple of times but I think it's a little easier than it has been in the past to go north. Really, the only variable that still exists and is annoy are the psychos already on the highway who are trying to cut over to the right for the 146/statehouse exit and their complete and total lack of chill.

I have short-medium length hair and think Shane at vís-a-vís does a great job with men’s cuts. His hair is similar to the photo you shared so he could be a good option.

With how many shitty cars there are in this city that can’t accelerate from 0-60 in regular time this is totally fine.
It’s that or the car can drive that fast and the driver is just too stupid too.

If it's balloon frame construction it would be relatively easy to do yourself.

Go see Carla at Christiaan on Benefit Street. She's awesome and does do men's cuts.

I think the girls at Hairlab would do a great job with this type of haircut

What are they doing? I thought they were just updating the bridges.

Can you get FIOS? For a new install, they run an ethernet line from the ONT in the basement to one location in the customer's home. And it's better service anyway.
edit: I think there is an important "why?" missing here. Does the landlord no longer tolerate the aesthetics of outside wires? Were they cleaning up wires they thought were unused?

OP: this thread isn't going how you thought it would, is it?
In all honesty, just avoid the area if you can. It's a dedicated lane, so there's enough time to appropriately merge with traffic without needing the change your underwear afterwards.

I was "complaining about" the original poster who didn't call the police for "obvious reasons" and then went on to call a non-emergency line.This is about as good as praying to god for the situation to resolve: it might make you feel good, but does nothing to help anyone.
I have no problem with having mental health workers with cops, but best case scenario for someone threatening random people on the street with a knife is a high dose of sedatives in a relatively-comfortable low-security carceral institution until they age out of violence (and using up resources that could be going to education, affordable housing, and helping young families).
The sooner you get authorities involved, the better chance for this. If they hurt someone (which sounds likely) they will be put in the ACI and probably get stabbed up by higher functioning convicts who don't want to deal with their predatory bullshit.

Pretty much any electrician with availability should be able to do it. Can you not go outside the building again? That's going to be much quicker and easier since it's just drilling 2 holes and running the cable up the side of the building.
Inside might be trickier depending on where the cable enters the basement, placement of the apartments and the pipes/conduits that an electrician can follow up to the 2nd floor.

There are "wiring contractors" who do this for a living. They used to do stereo wiring, and now they do data wiring. :7) Same sillset, I suppose.
My hunch is that most of them would also say "drill the walls upstairs and down, and run it outside the building" -- but that's why you call and have them quote the job.
It won't take a week or anything, but expect it to be a bit of a PITA for everyone involved (including maybe the people below you!).

If there's a tenant on the first floor; They'll need 24 hours notice for any non-emergency work being done that requires access to their unit, so let them know ASAP. Hopefully they'll be understanding and not cause a fuss.

How does the landlord suggest that you get cable TV and Internet into the unit? If they were to call Cox to get it installed, Cox would drill a hole and run wires on the outside.
What does the landlord expect people to do? Not have cable/internet?
You could potentially just go with home 5g wifi, but mehhhh.

Don’t do it. It will turn a 40 hour a week job into a 60 hour a week job. It’s not worth having a house you’re never in.

Reply to comment by FrenchTrucks in Catalytic converter stolen. Already filed police report. Anyone else have any suggestions on what to do next? by BearsRpeopl2
They also make “cat shields” for most vehicles. Like $200-300ish + installation. They basically weld a thick metal plate over the cat.
Not necessary for random people. But if you’ve been hit, or your neighborhood has problems & you’ve got a susceptible vehicle, then it’s cheaper than having to replace everything again and again.

Between the deductible & higher rates, there’s a good chance it’s cheaper to just get it repaired out-of-pocket.

I'm not completely following it but it's been a years long process to replace the viaduct. They built a brand new one along side the old so that to minimize disruptions. So yes it's just a replacement but in the process there will be temporary traffic patterns untill the structures are finalized.
