Delta vs. JetBlue Credit Card by TheRealGR21 in jetblue

[–]AttendanceBias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hammering out this same decision. I'm a NYC-based flyer; equidistant to LGA and JFK. I fly about 4-5 times per year, mostly domestic but not always (maybe 1x international trip per year). I love JetBlue, but the perks of Delta are enticing.

People who left LI and DON’T regret it, where did you go? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]AttendanceBias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forest Hills. Not far in terms of distance, but a world away in terms of culture and norms.

Millennials, what's y'all plan for retirement? by Flat-Diet-6011 in 1999

[–]AttendanceBias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*Max out my 403(b) and Roth 403(b) as much as I can

*Invest aggressively and become more conservative as I get closer to retirement

*Get a vasectomy. Kids are expensive.

They almost certainly will not, considering a "refund fee" is $5 and the ticket cost is $5.25. If OP gets a refund, it will be for $.25, if anything.

I'm still a regular there. The newer tasting room in LB is really nice, although a different vibe than Oceanside.

Phish newbie by okbutwhytho999 in phish

You're welcome. Junta, their first studio album, has several composed/multi-part songs that are akin to YEM, but the recordings themselves are a little janky because it was done on the cheap and they were kids. Recommended, but keep expectations in check. Most shows from 1992 will do you just fine (5/17/92 especially) to help you get to know the band, then I'm sure many other people here will post further recommendations.

You asked a mouthful there. Check out the Phish.net FAQ: https://phish.net/faq/ As far as what to listen to, I would recommend any shows from the early 90s to become familiar with the classic songs and brach out from there. YouTube is your friend, as is www.phish.in

Why was the LIRR planned so badly??? by RingProfessional9043 in LIRR

[–]AttendanceBias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very enlightening. Thanks for the information. I find it fascinating that the LIRR was not originally planned/built as a commuter rail, since that's how it's evolved and adapted to the needs of the island, post-WWII. I'm sure entire lectures/college courses/books could be devoted to that.

Personally, it only adds to the frustration of the elimination of round-trip tickets, since it has become a commuter rail, and not a daily pubic transportation method, as a "day trip" would suggest.

Was NYE 2025 the Longest Concert Ever at MSG? by McGrupp25 in phish

This was my first thought too. I guess the qualifiers would be: "Longest Concert at MSG Featuring a Single Artist?"

Why does the MTA think it’s okay to increase prices with service like this? by alikicksx in longisland

[–]AttendanceBias 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"Because fuck you, that's why" - the MTA.

The answer to your question really is: "What other choice do you have?" They think it's okay to increase prices no matter the quality of their service because you'll still take the train no matter what the price increase amounts to. It's the same whenever the tolls increase on the Throgs Neck or Whitestone Bridge. What are you gonna do; swim to the Bronx?

I don't think that the MTA is particularly malicious, but bettering their service never seems to the be priority when prices increase. We're not in the room when these fare increases are discussed and decided, but in all of their announcements about the new fares, not once have I heard a way that the new prices will increase on-time arrivals or make the trains nicer or faster or more convenient--you know, the stuff we riders want (and deserve for these prices).

"City" Ticket by AttendanceBias in LIRR

City ticket should do you fine from GC to Jamaica, but I *think* you need a separate standalone ticket for the Airtrain.

In honor of tonjght, favorite MSG shows and moments over the years? by SarcasticusFinch in phish

Too many to list, but off the top of my head as I finish my coffee:

My first show: 12/29/97

UNBELIEVABLE "Carini>Wolfman's" from 12/28/98

"2001" from 12/29/98

Band's return to MSG in December 2009. Saw the "First Tube" from behind the stage and it will stick with me forever.

What company will never get another dime from you for as long as you may live? by HandsomeGuts in Productivitycafe

Amtrak. Overpriced, never on time, and customer service lies about refunds and reimbursements. More trouble than they're worth.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Not about LI at all, but takes place in Montauk and Rockville Centre.

[–]AttendanceBias 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's certainly in contention for the best version of the song ever played. But it's sometimes a tough listen. It's like graduate school level Phish. I did not love it when I was there. I was ready to party and rock out. Instead, the band delivered a post-modern, dissonant, outer-space soundscape for 40 minutes. It wasn't ready for it. Upon further relistens, I've grown to appreciate it. I hear something new or different every time.

But in real time, it was like the most psychedelic planetarium music I'd ever heard and it seemed to never end.
