Crisis resolved, a friend sent me an obscure DMV link that shows active testing stations by area code. Wisconsin used to have state run facilities but then closed them all and made private business do it. So they don’t give you your registration, you just have to get a “Pass” grade for them to enter and then the DMV can see that and will then give you your registration. Leperflesh posted:Maybe call up one of those places that no longer does emissions testing and ask them to recommend a place that does; they're likely to know of one in the area if they have a fair number of former customers showing up and having to be turned away? Kinda related, my dad was looking for someone to do *something* (I think repair a leaky radiator) on one of his project motorcycles a few weeks ago and the guy said they didn’t do that kind of stuff anymore. My dad asks “Do you know anyone who still does?” and the guy goes “Weeelllll I do, but I don’t really wanna refer your business to one of my competitors…” and my dad just says “…what business? You’re not providing the service I want.”

You’re not providing the service I want.” Yeah re-coring/repairing radiators is kind of a specialty thing now, but I'd guess your dad's mechanic is worried that the guy he'd refer him to is full-service, not just radiators, and he'd lose all the rest of your dad's potential bike repair work too. But that's foolish: being helpful to a customer is the best way to get referral business, and mechanics live and die on referrals and repeat business. They're also notoriously, infamously terrible businessmen.

Or say you do it, send the rad out to be recored and get the business but that would assume those who do the work will take business from him.

BigPaddy posted:Arizona all the emissions places are government run. Turn up, get in the queue, pay your $17 and off you go. Main issue is getting something registered as historic so you don’t have to do it on anything more than 15 years old since the AZDOT website is trash and if you call no one there knows anything. There's a new one now! It's slightly better! (I still hold a place in my heart for servicearizona since it was clearly a hackjob UI into a mainframe as evidenced by nightly outage windows for processing)

Its raining here. It's been raining for 7 days. This is the 3rd time this has happened in 2 years. Another flood warning, road closures and poo poo. 3 "once in a lifetime" rain events. In 2 years.

Yeah, it’s by County and also depends on the age of your vehicle. This leads to people registering their cars with addresses in exempt counties lol.

What other answer should she give? The pediatrician will let you know if it’s okay based on your specific child if you could/should be trying something else. She sucks, this admin sucks, but I’m not sure her saying “oh just call me and I’ll sort it out” is gonna happen

Calling your pediatrician is correct, but she should at least say what they are doing to fix it, or what agency is working on the issue. Seems like no one is doing anything right now.

Yeah, that article apparently sucked. Here's what Wikipedia has on it: Almost all of the states that have it to some degree only have it in the bigger cities. I guess still surprising Minneapolis/St. Paul don't, but it's not as small a group as that article made it seem.

One of those tragic cases where you have a bullet hanging on a string in the garage to make sure you’re pulling the car up far enough and then one night it’s dark and you accidentally walk into the bullet.

According to physics, nothing really touches each other. So really, her neck particles just had to move out of the way for the bullet particles, and unfortunately she died in the process.
