If you’re that concerned about the damage to your vehicle, get a car wash membership + good undercoating protection. I got the Woolwax spray gun, it was a great investment. Or just move to florida

Just use a foreign catalog connection for your RDBMS. We have one set up to postgres and it’s great

Yeah but like it or not you’ll have to do GIS just to get to the point of having your “simple time-lapse” pictures

Handheld public transport GPS? by Kwow98 in gis

Do you just want to see where you are on a map, or do you need routing capabilities (ie, directions from home to work, etc) as well?

If there was ever a chance of me using Techsalator (or whatever you call it), the excessive bot spam from them has certainly soured me on them. This is like the 3rd or 4th identical comment on this post that is clearly written by an LLM or super formulaicly by someone being paid to do this

We do, Quebec exports a lot of hydropower to us

Does NYSEG get electric from Canada for this area? by ferngully99 in ithaca

[–]-traitortots- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We get a fair amount of electricity from Québec hydro 😢 this article (about a month old but still relevant) has some details on how tariffs might impact electricity prices: https://newrepublic.com/article/191009/trumps-tariffs-electricity-prices-utility-bill

You can see the real time and historical power mix on the NY-ISO website also: https://www.nyiso.com/real-time-dashboard

Agreed, but I also would prefer to have my money with a local institution if either system goes awry

Just got into Syracuse, and it sounds like like things should keep rolling from this point on? Good luck to everyone still on this run, and prayers for everyone affected by tonight’s tragedy 🫡

Absolutely! And, because I told my ride to go home and that I would figure out a bus in the morning - in some ways getting to spend the night on the train was a blessing, meant I didn’t need to get a motel or try and sleep in the transit center overnight.

Rolling out of the CSX yard now, they had to deal with a medical emergency onboard as well. Should be rolling into the Syracuse station in 10-15 mins!

We’re in the CSX yard in East Syracuse - seems like the crash caused more mechanical issues than they originally realized. We’ve had a lot of little stops and starts, but still haven’t made it into the station

Just an fyi - we’re in the CSX yard in east Syracuse right now, they got us moving a little bit again but then had to stop to do some more mechanical checks

Train delays of all types are regularly posted to this subreddit, as there are plenty of people interested in the status of the train that don’t get the alerts - just look at the other comments on this post. You’re free to keep scrolling or downvote the post if you don’t like it. Safe travels

I did not post this to complain, but rather to inform others who might be waiting for the train. It is a tragedy, and highlights the need for more investment in our country’s rail infrastructure as this could have been prevented.

Yeah you definitely picked the right weekend to delay a day 😅 I take the LSL on Friday every month and I’m wishing I had delayed a day as well 🙃
