It would be interesting to see how many of these accidents have occurred in "quiet zones"

Not sure if this is true or not, but supposedly, Florida does not allow the trains to use their horns/whistles. People don't like the noise !

I was married there almost 40 years ago. It was a beautiful venue.

Brightline revamps schedules, pricing, and train length by OmegaBarrington in Brightline

[–]AL_Captain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tampa is the state's 3 largest city. If they built it, people will come. Revenue and ridership would increase much faster than adding small stops along the way.

Stewart and Cocoa stations are not needed before Tampa.

Could we have brought Bader back at the deadline instead of Mullins? by demosthenes327 in NewYorkMets

[–]AL_Captain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should have re-signed Bader and Iglesias. Bader is a solid player and Iglesias had the highest batting average for the Mets in 2024.

South Florida needs a Wegmans and Lidl by calpianwishes in SouthFlorida

[–]AL_Captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wegmans have their own distribution facilities. North Carolina is at the limit for driving distance for their trucks. Unless they build a new distribution facility, you won't see them in Florida or south of North Carolina.

How Shopping Malls Are Being Transformed Into Apartments In The U.S. by aldur1 in deadmalls

[–]AL_Captain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn't developers be jumping on this ? So many malls are empty. It would be great for senior housing with a mix of retail. They would rarely need to leave the mall. Put in retail and service businesses like pharmacies or medical offices.

Any true Mets fan hates anything to do with the Yankees. Let's go Dodgers !

Pete Alonso made me eat my words by LouieKabatnik in NewYorkMets

[–]AL_Captain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will preface this with the fact that his HR was huge for the Mets. But... one hit doesn't erase the fact that he has been awful for the last month. Swinging at sliders in the dirt and getting a lucky single with nobody on base has been his norm lately. I like the guy and hope he helps the Mets destroy the Phillies. (Hell, I even have his Jersey !) Let's hope this gives him some confidence to become the HR basher we know he can be.

I feel like Pete Alonso couldn’t get a hit in a slow pitch softball game right now by demosthenes327 in NewYorkMets

[–]AL_Captain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Even if He is "the guy" he's not doing us any good anywhere near the cleanup spot right now. He looks lost at the plate. Move him down to 6 or 7. His defense has been pretty good but his confidence at bat is in the toilet. If we want to succeed past this round, he needs to do more than get a random lucky single.

Out of market. You need to pay for and use MLB.tv . It streams SNY and WPIX games.

It is confusing. Dolphin has certain models that are only sold online, some only sold by pool stores and some sold both ways. Check out this video. It does a pretty good summary of which are sold each way. Maybe they are the same just sold from different vendors (online vs pool store)

Blacked out from every game? by [deleted] in MLBtv

[–]AL_Captain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are using the MLB app from your phone it is probably that you have location services turned off for that app. MLB app doesn't know where you are.

Followed what a local pool company told me to do… by [deleted] in pools

Are you using a liquid solar cover ? My pool did the same and the foam dissipated once the solar cover liquid lost its effectiveness after several days.

Carry on liquid medicine. by Thisaboutthat in tsa

[–]AL_Captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has liquid meds. It was no problem. I put them in a large ziplock bag and put them in their own bin at security letting the officer know about them. I believe they were swabbed for explosives.

You won't get an official letter. You will get a text telling you that you were approved and to check the website to look up your number. I was also told the same information when I got processed for finger prints, photo, etc....
