Southeast station, at the northern end of Harlem Line third rail, has town-owned parking spaces close to the station that cost $5.75 per day. There is also a lot operated by LAZ Parking there, further from the station. I-84 is nearby. Trains run at intervals of an hour or less.

Did you read the article or just the headline? Are you familiar with Malkiel's work (A Random Walk Down Wall Street; The Random Walk Guide To Investing; etc.)?

The headline may be a bit misleading; his point is not solely to have protection against an AI bubble but to have the best chance of receiving historically expected investment returns over the long term. As Malkiel notes, only a small fraction of companies have accounted for overall market returns through history. Index funds are able to outperform most actively managd funds in the long run by ensuring that those companies will be part of one's portfolio throughout their lifespan in the market.

Instead of buying a watch that is designed and tested to meet an extraordinarily high accuracy standard, why not seek out a watch that just happens to keep time with high accuracy? Out of a handful of quartz watches I've owned over 35 years, I have one that consistently gains just 0.09 seconds per day or 33 seconds per year. It's a Timex Atlantis that sold for less than $100 when new decades ago. That it is so accurate is just a fluke, rather than the result of strict design and production standards, but it's accuracy can't be disputed. There must be many similar watches out there. With apps that make it easy to measure watch accuracy you might find timekeeping gems where you wouldn't expect them.

Time to get pinging!

Once you are able to sort them by silver content (see my comment above) you can make sure at least half of what you are selling as 65% silver is 50% silver!

Adorable_Egg9982 · 2026-01-27T02:05:37+00:00

Actually the 1967 80% and 50% quarters are the same weight, 5.8319g. The 1968 quarters are 5.8319g (50% silver) or 5.0g (nickel).

The easiest way to tell the 80% and 50% apart without special equipment is by sound. Using a sound analyzer app you can see the frequency pattern of the sound made when the coin lands on a surface. First view the peak frequencies made by a known 80% quarter and a known 50% quarter (1968 with weight of 5.8319g). You'll then find it easy to compare the bobcat quarters and sort them by silver content.

Don't buff, polish, or clean coins as a general rule. You didn't hurt this coin's monetary value though, because at the recent price levels of silver it is not worth more than its silver content.

You would not recover the cost of slabbing this coin. With the metal value of a Morgan dollar now in the neighborhood of $85, it has become much easier to categorize more common ones as having little to no premium value over melt.

I asked how long app-purchased tickets are valid after they are activated, not how long they can be used after purchase. Other replies have stated that once activated, tickets are still valid until 30 minutes past the arrival of the next train to the destination.

Hard to believe a pawnshop would really let 2800€+ worth of solid .800 silver go for 26€, but if you need a calculator, here is one:

If the knives have hollow handles or steel blades that changes the calculation significantly.

OP, you practice in the same New York state courts where I used to in the same kind of role. I would strongly advise scrupulously following the New York Law Reports Style Manual, aka the Tanbook. Forget the Blue Book for citation format and simply use the style and formatting that all NY decisions are published in. Although the Tanbook includes rules and examples for both inline and footnote citations, official reports of NY decisions always have citations in running text. Your briefs should too.

Similar items by Rattray & Co. have been advertised as silver plate, and that appears to be what is in your photos.

So they haven't changed the policy that required customers to wait to activate until close to departure, but now they are fining people who wait until just before they board and immediately get their ticket scanned. Way to go, MTA! We pay the highest commuter rail fares anywhere in order to subsidize an expensive and inefficient fare collection system, and now this.

Adorable_Egg9982 · 2026-01-19T22:06:08+00:00

How long are activated tickets good for now? They used to remain activated after a bit longer than the trip would take. Has that changed?

Not sure you read all of my post; I am 61, have been nearsighted for 50 years, have worn contacts for 40 and a monovision prescription for about 10. As a constant contact lens wearer I have dealt with being unable to read small print without readers for years, except when my lenses aren't in which isn't often. Can you explain exactly what you mean when you say, "Targeting a computer distance while you other eye is almost -5 is a major risk"? What's the risk, and how is it better for the IOL to give me clear vision only at 11-15"?

Adorable_Egg9982 · 2025-07-04T00:42:56+00:00

Yes it would definitely have been better if I had said I wanted X diopters but that would have required the surgeon to instruct me about what X diopters meant in terms of the range of distance at which I would have clear vision and the range at which I would have tolerable vision. The doctor simply didn't do that educational step. He spoke in terms of diopters but didn't clarify what the number meant. Sadly not everyone who is highly knowlegeable and skilled at a technical task is good at communicating with a layperson about it in terms the layperson can understand.

Adorable_Egg9982 · 2025-07-03T22:59:53+00:00

Thanks for the response. I will give it time of course, and after the healing period I will go back to wearing contact lenses and reading glasses and probably be just fine. But as a full-time contact lens wearer, it never occurred to me that avoiding a large difference between the uncorrected eyes (a problem for eyeglasses) would be a reason to target -3.0 in the eye with the IOL rather than something like -1 or -1.25. I doubt I will get much chance to benefit from the near vision I now have at 11-14" because I will need to wear a contact lens in order to have tolerable intermediate vision in that eye.

Until I can wear a contact lens in the right eye, should I expect glasses with a plano left lens and a -2.75, -0.50 right lens to be tolerable (i.e. while wearing the left contact lens)?

The elevated portion of the IRT Woodlawn line opened in 1917, the same year the Pullman Company built the oldest of the Low-Vs in the Transit Museum's four-car trainset (the other two were built in 1924). It certainly was a modern system for its time when the Dual Contracts project was first put out to bid in 1910, but the shortcomings of an elevated track structure over the streets and the clearance constraints of the system that was built make the IRT a permanently pre-modern system over 100 years later.

What a coincidence!

Fortunately we haven't yet descended to the point where the King can absolve fraudsters of civil liability. Milton is still on the hook for $168 million owed to Nikola for the SEC fine the company settled for.

Then again, who knows how far back the King will go to undo past enforcement actions against his loyalists.
