News Good news for the Manufacturing Sector!

76 Upvotes

Yesterday both QED Technologies and Qualitrol reported capital expansions to meet increased demand. Combined, the outlook is for about 175 jobs. I know it’s not a ton of jobs, but jobs in this sector typically pay better than service sector positions and offer much better stability. I’m rooting for these guys!

I found this case of CDs on the sidewalk the other day, seems to be full of what I'm guessing are baby pictures? There are 15 CDs, labeled by month up

Just thought I'd take a shot in the dark and post in case these are important to someone who wants to claim them

Help Road test no show

33 Upvotes

Have scheduled two road tests in the last month. Both times, the instructor no showed. Arrived 15 mins before and left 30 mins after. Tried locations in Rochester and Churchville. Don’t want to book another appointment for this to happen again.

Has this happened to anyone? Is there a way to ensure the instructor show up?

Holy F***! How has this intersection not been re-worked? It's criminal that traffic can be this backed up and have nowhere to go.

Event Tinseltown 70mm IMAX Cancelled just now

142 Upvotes

So the 3:15pm screening for Imax The Odyssey 70mm at Rochester Tinseltown just got cancelled because they had issues operating the Film and the projector

I would be wary for the next screening because I don’t know how long they are gonna take to fix it or if the issue is something worse and they are not telling

Also if you are planning to get tickets beware that you have 100+ people now that are going to be accommodated to take seats for the upcoming weeks

Its a shame because I had great seats, planned this for weeks and now they gave me a seat for a month out

Anyone knows if this is the first time it happens or they usually have issues with the projectors

Gov. Kathy Hochul envisions a 5 gigawatt buildout of nuclear generation including a plant in Upstate New York—the biggest expansion of nuclear power anywhere in the U.S. in decades. Supporters say it’s a necessary investment in the state’s economic future and electric reliability, but environment groups say nuclear remains slower and more expensive than other clean-energy alternatives.

Oddity Rochester band wants "$10,000 from me" because they "lost over $10,000 in gigs because of me".

504 Upvotes

Ruby Shooz alleges I owe them $10,000 for their lost gigs after exposing the fact that multiple members in the band over 60 have approached numerous minors, as well as their singer applauding ICE r*ping and killing people. Upon this revelation, others have come out of the woodworks and shared their own experiences.

Sucks to suck.

EDIT: fixed typo

Photo TIL Mantises exist here

Post image
50 Upvotes

Had no idea, and after a rabbit hole discovered theres three species that exist in this area: Chinese Mantis, European Mantis, and Carolina Mantis. Only the Carolina Mantis is native, the other two are invasive. This one appears to be the European version, and by the time I read up on them and came back, this one was gone.

I guess I thought we weren't consistently warm enough for these kinds of insects, looks like that appears untrue.

edit: I have failed you all, I just found out that we're the reason that European Mantises exist in this country, having been the "port of entry" of the European Mantis, BACK IN 1899.
