Anaconda Nightclub

A few of us visited a dance club sometime in 1996 or 1997 in Niagara Falls called Anaconda. I recall the entrance having some sort of decorative snake theme on its door or sign. Can anybody tell me where this club was located, and where I might find photographs of the exterior/interior from that time period?

Sure, I might offend a few of the bluenoses with my cocky stride and musky odors -- oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "City Fathers" who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about "What's to be done with this Homer Simpson???"

Are any of you using (or used in the past) Promix pre-filled bags?

What was your average cost per bag? If so, were you ever able to find volume options less than 0.5 cubic feet?

I am considering using them as an alternative to filling pots by hand. My material-only cost to do so is currently around $2 per pot. Trying to determine cost savings, if any, when considering the labor cost of emptying and washing the pots versus simply throwing the bags out.

Licensed NYS grow with a standard run of 864 plants occupying 1,664 square feet of canopy.

How is counterfeit currency valuable if detecting it is relatively easy?

Every store I’ve ever been to runs a counterfeit detection marker on 100 dollar bills. Banks and ATMs have modern detection technology. Even on the black market and in illegal transactions of large amounts of cash, the receiving party surely would want their ill-gotten gains to be real money, right? So why is counterfeit currency still a valuable/sought-after product?

EDIT: by “valuable” I mean in the sense that there’s a market for it, therefore a profit motive for its production and use.

The new stadium is a world-class venue

I was blown away this afternoon during my first visit to this truly beautiful stadium. I was disappointed to see all the complaining and *completely undeserved* bad press, and was even more irritated once I stepped through the doors for the first time. After 66 years of unwavering support and spirit, Buffalo deserved an extraordinary football venue and now we finally have one. It's fabulous!

Do these products match, and is it generally best practice for the GPD of an RO machine to match the GPD of a booster pump?

Greetings,

I need to upgrade my RO system to increase daily output. Since the water pressure is inadequate, I’ll also need a new booster pump. My questions are:

1.      Must the GPD rating of the RO machine match the GPD rating of the booster pump?

2.      What is the correct/maximum pressure I should be hitting when using the two machines together? 65PSI? Higher?

3.      Will the two products below work well with each other?

Here is the RO system I’m considering:

Is my service department using the wrong oil?

I purchased my 2024 S60 B5 from a non-Volvo dealership and I also have it serviced there. I’m concerned that they may be using an inadequate oil, but I could be wrong. Volvo requires “0w-20 full synthetic” oil. The product the dealership has been using is 0w-20, but it’s listed as a “synthetic blend” on the worksheet (see attached image). I was under the impression that all 0w-20 oil was synthetic, but apparently it’s not. My questions are:

 

1.      Is this appropriate oil for the vehicle or not?

2.      If not, could this have caused any damage to the vehicle?

3.      If so, can the damage be reversed or mitigated by switching to the correct oil?

 

The vehicle has 15,202 miles on it and it’s received 4 of these oil changes over the past two years at six-month intervals. If more information is needed, I’m happy to provide it as best I can.

 

NB: I’m not looking to cause trouble for the dealership, as I’ve had an otherwise very pleasant experience with them. If this truly is a mistake, I doubt it was intentional. However, I need to document anything that might impact any remaining manufacturer’s warranty or the additional 100k-mile service contract I purchased when the car was delivered.
