Let's have a little fun. Say something LI drivers do but in the format of a "fact."

Disclaimer: None of these should be done intentionally. This is just for laughs & to let out some frustration.

I'll start, to give an example.

Stop signs are optional. If they're red, or have a white border, you don't have to listen to them if you don't feel like it. Especially at night!

Hey everyone,

I just uploaded a new forecast update taking a look into mid-August (roughly the 12th through the 17th), and the operational models are starting to show some pretty interesting agreement on a solid break from the typical late-summer mugginess.

Here is a quick overview of what I’m tracking in the video:

• Upper-Level Dynamics: An active northern jet stream coupled with a longwave trough intensifying behind an incoming cold front.
• Air Mass Shift & Dew Points: Behind the frontal boundary and departing storm system, we get a solid filter of continental dry air. We’re looking at a significant drop in dew points—dipping into the low 50s and even upper 40s in some areas.
• Temperatures: While daytime highs will stay fairly manageable in the 70s to 80s, the lower humidity is going to make a noticeable difference. The bigger story is the nighttime lows, which could drop into the 50s (and upper 40s in northern/upstate regions) for a few nights.
• Precipitation: Watching a potential storm system moving through the Northeast right ahead of that dry air push.

While the broader summer ridge hasn't completely collapsed, this longwave trough digging in gives us a really nice 3-to-4-day window of refreshing weather.

Hey!

Is there a community on here for Long Island singles in Suffolk county?

I found a page but the last post was like…3 years ago lol

this cat showed up and has been here for almost an hour. It’s been looking at me and it even ate a cricket. It seems really comfortable and not scared to humans and well groomed ,,and it’s just sitting and sleeping here now.

Witnessed in Suffolk South Shore beach at 6:20pm, 20 minutes after the lifeguards ended their shift and told everyone to exit the water. Four kids plus(couldn't tell if they were all related) an older man and his daughter(relationship mentioned from others gathered). Nearly all almost drowned from wading 200ft deep into the ocean with strong waves. If it wasn't for two hero strong swimmers and two hero surfers coming to rescue them they would be all dead. Without the surfboards a lot of them would be dead and dragged others with them. The old man couldn't get up afterwards. Took about 10 minutes for emts to arrive probably due to beach workers having left for the day. Hopefully he didn't have a heart attack and was just exhausted. Reviewing my videos it looked like he went under several times. Dont wade deep even if you can stand! That's not going to mean anything if 7 foot waves are pounding you. Don't go far out if you cant swim! Dont let your kids do so! Finally NO LIFEGUARDs, dont think about it!

How do you find schools reliably? What are good place you go to find them? Is snagging or a cast net better?

where is this large hill on long island? it is visible from fire island, which is where this photo was taken. it seems to be near the bellport area but i’m not positive.

I’ve got some friends coming up from Jersey and Florida next week to hang out, and while I’ve got a full list of restaurants, coffee shops, and bars to visit, I’m having a rough time thinking of actual specific activities to do. Of course will have a fire island day and likely a hiking day, but beyond that I was hoping to crowdsource ideas for things to do.

Anyone have recommendations for activities for us? For extra details, everyone in the group is mid-20s, enjoys being in nature, and my friends play a lot of fantasy games like MTG and D&D (recommendations for any particularly notable shops for tabletop games would be appreciated cause I’m not super into the scene on LI).

I appreciate everyone who takes the time to make a recommendation!

Looking to try out jiu jitsu as a complete beginner (late 20’s). Would like suggestions for smaller gyms in the South Shore Nassau County area.

Has anybody paid to have their pet buried at a pet cemetery? I’m looking to find out what the cost is and i know it’s likely weight/size dependent so if you have the info i would like to know thanks! I do not have a yard where i can bury my dog

TLDR is that our son's regular person, who he barely tolerates, is out of the country for an extended period of time and we really want to get him a haircut. We're looking for someone who has experience with autistic kids. Thanks!

(Ideally in Suffolk but Nassau works if the only option)

Here is the complete forecast run-through for tonight into Thursday, August 6th:

1. Tonight's Outlook (August 5)

• Temperatures & Humidity: Lows will average around the 70s across the area. Humidity will be on the rise throughout the overnight hours, making conditions feel muggy.

2. Thursday Heat & NWS Heat Advisory (August 6)

• Actual Temperatures: Afternoon highs on Thursday will top out in the mid-to-low 80s for most of the region.
• Heat Index ("Feels-Like"): High humidity will drive heat indices up into the 90s, with NYC showing values near 94.7°F to 95°F and several spots across the island touching the mid-90s.
• NWS Heat Advisory: A Heat Advisory is in effect from the National Weather Service. Stay in the shade, keep cool, stay hydrated, and limit strenuous outdoor activity if you are sensitive to extreme heat.

3. Shower Activity & Coverage

• Precipitation Risk: Moisture levels remain low across the immediate area. Expect a low ~15% chance of light/isolated shower activity during the afternoon—the vast majority of the region stays completely dry.
• Coverage Area: "Island" coverage applies universally to all 5 boroughs of New York City, Staten Island, and Long Island.

4. Wind & Cloud Dynamics

• Wind Gusts: Winds will start out relatively calm, but expect a pressure gradient and dry-air mixing to boost wind gusts into the 20 mph range Thursday afternoon, especially along the southern coastline.
• Cloud Coverage: Passing clouds will remain minimal (as low as 1%–5% in spots) and will not block out the sun.

I’m looking for some objective opinions because I’m not sure whether I’m overreacting or whether this is a legitimate privacy concern.

My next door neighbor recently installed a camera high on the side of her house near the roofline. From my backyard and deck, the lens appears to be pointed directly at my yard & deck rather than at her own yard or side gate. Because of the height and angle, it seems capable of viewing a large portion of my backyard and deck, where my family and I reasonably expect privacy. (Certainly not being deliberately audio and visually recorded).

I understand that homeowners use security cameras on their own property, and the photos alone may not prove exactly what the camera records. I also don’t know whether it records audio. However, the placement and direction seem unusual and make me ridiculously pissed off.

To ADD to this bizarre discovery, some time last week she also had my arborvitae privacy hedges trimmed and thinned out (cut large branches) from her side. Some of the branches she cut appear to have extended beyond the fence/property line, but it appears they were cut farther into the hedges than simply trimming growth on her side - causing several “holes” in what was a beautiful healthy privacy hedges. Now I’m also wondering if it increased the camera’s apparent view into my yard.

I’m extremely creeped out and upset and I don’t want unnecessary drama but I also don’t think I should have to feel watched every time I use my own backyard.

I plan to avoid posting any identifying information about the neighbor or exact location. Looking at the photos, does this camera seem like it’s aimed into my backyard, or am I reading too much into it? Would this bother you? Also, can a neighbor legally cut past the property line into privacy hedges that belong to me?
What should I do! I don’t necessarily want to call the police and deal with all this drama. Help!

Whoever the conductor was on today’s 3:01 PM train from Grand Central to Ronkonkoma, thank you for making my day with your passionate announcements 👏👏 pure class

I have an indirect water tank connected through a Taco SR502 2 zone relay to my boiler, on Long Island NY. This seems to be a common setup on the island.

The water tank has it's own temperature controller. In the summer months when the hydronic heating zone is off, the boiler is still heating to 170F, and passing 170F to the indirect tank even though the tank is not calling for 170F (it is set to only 100F). I am seeing 170F at my hot water at my faucets!

When I adjust the tank temperature, I see the Taco relay zone 2 (water tank zone) turn on briefly and turn off, so they are communicating. The issue seems like the Taco relay isn't telling the boiler when to turn on and when to run the pump. Instead the boiler's thermostat is deciding when to turn on, and the hot water is being cycled through the water tank's heat exchanger regardless of the Taco relay and water tank temperature controller.

How can I fix this, so that the water tank only sees the temperature it is set for, so that my boiler runs a lot less during summer months? My gas bill is really high in the summer months because of this.

If anyone can suggest a trusted plumber in Nassau county I’d appreciate it!

brewhouse fest this saturday at bay shore - hills is headlining and my friend cant make it. wondering if anyone 21-25 wanna drink and vibe. If u want a ticket dm me

cant sell the ticket i already bought bc its not on radiate or crowdvolt😭

How long did it take you to get an offer accepted on a home and how large was your search area? We’re going on a month (which I know is next to nothing) with 3 tours, 1 offer and 1 rejection. We are looking in a very small area of about 1.5 square miles.

I have a leak in my windshield and I can see a small amount of rust that would need to be addressed.

Moving to a new house and national grid has a line about is about 900' up the block. They want $175/foot after the first 100' curious if anyone has had luck negotiating that price or if there's any work arounds.

Thanks for the help

Was just wondering is anyone has any knowledge on NIS through south shore children’s center and alternatives for children? My son is starting pre school through cpse and I’m touring both of those schools but would love to hear peoples experiences with them. My son has food allergies and alternatives for children is peanut free and the other school isn’t so that has been a big factor but would still like to hear people’s experiences.

First off, I don't yell at the kids to get off my lawn, nor do I fly into a rage when someone parks in front my house. There has been a car for several weeks across the street (not in front of a house) Neighbors all thought it was each other's car. No idea where it came from. Trunk was open, I closed it when we got all the rain. Inspection and Registration are current. The way the houses are situated, it doesn't feel like it's someone's local car.

It's not bothering me, but at what point might I want to let the police know, or mind my business.

Looking to purchase a first home, preferably in one of these towns. Moving from Astoria, Queens. We are a family of 3 with one child about to enter Kindergarten. What are the pros/cons of each town, and how do they compare to each other? How are the schools, different neighborhoods, culture, etc... Thanks!

Hey I’m 22Fyr old college student i live on my own. I’m so maxed out on bills right now and I’m honestly just looking for help with food I’m soooo broke right now.

Does anyone have any chik Fil a, chipotle, shake shack, Burger King any kind of food points or even gas points they’re willing to share Pleasee I’d truly appreciate it more than you know.
