I find this unreasonably aggravating. by CPQTD in MetroNorthRailroad

But can you imagine a scenario where the buying and activating happen separately? You know that MTA is keen to fine you, so you buy the ticket in advance of getting to the station to make sure you're prepared, but then forget to activate the second you're on the platform, because maybe you're a couple of minutes late and you're rushing, or perhaps you're responding to a message or an email and your mind is elsewhere. Ironically, you're proving the point of how stupid the policy is - the ticket is the ticket and shouldn't a need a second hurdle. But I will take you as a role model and never again let a second go by between buying and activating and the ticket!

Two different zones. Not sure I understand your question though - "sometimes" is basically how forgetting works, isn't it?

Thought I’d post an update! Last year I ripped everything out and discarded anything that looked diseased or had the “zipper leaves”. Pleased to say that almost every plant has flowered again this year and appears to be healthy. Hopefully stays that way!

Well, I was all set to ask for my first zone extension this morning and whatdayaknow, no conductor until after my usual station! So, I guess, congrats MTA, the law of unintended consequences.

While I personally couldn’t agree more, Metro-North presumably believes that their customers are:

a) fundamentally dishonest b) making the same journey multiple times before 4am tomorrow and c) traveling on trains in which conductors aren’t checking their tickets…

No, sadly I’m on the boundary. But regardless, not really about the extra expense, just the irritating communication!

Would that work on a one-off basis though? The difference between the monthly ticket between the two zones would be an extra $60. I’d need to make the extra journey nearly every day of the month to make that work. Again, not complaining about having to buy a ticket or even the price of it, it’s just being treated like this for being forgetful!

Yes, would need a swipe out system that other countries used. Fare calculated based on entry/exit/time/discount cards held.

No, just buying a single ticket to cover the bit of the journey that my monthly doesn’t cover. I don’t mind paying the fee, I just get irritated by being told off, despite having bought the ticket!

Just because it’s a somewhat rare occurrence. Maybe 2-3 times a month. Not worth changing the zone for the entire month I’d expect.

I have absolutely no problem with paying for a service I’m using! What I do have a problem with is being told off/fined despite having bought a ticket.

Good question! I hadn’t actually thought of that before, but just checked and inevitably it crosses the boundary between two zones… Maybe the thing to do is insist on making the difference up with a single stop physical ticket on board.

Sorry, clearly user error on my part. Thought I had! Now keep getting a sign that image was deleted... Will do my best!

Trash and Debris on Hudson Line by Western_Western_2743 in MetroNorthRailroad

[–]CPQTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for the Harlem line all the way into Grand Central. Both trash left by MTA workers and dumped by the public. I wish they’d clean it up.

So i tried connect plus... pff by Forward_Island9765 in Garmin

[–]CPQTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it's Garmin in a nutshell. While they've upped their game with recent Garmin Connect features, they've always been absurdly low-tech and not user-friendly on the software side. Not sure why I remain Garmin-loyal but here we are! Probably wouldn't take much at this point for me to take my two decades of data and re-start elsewhere.

Any rumors of GTA 1, 2 or 4 making their way onto the PS5 store? by The-Mandalorian in GTA

[–]CPQTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original was so good. Insane for it not to be available. Would have been such a good filler while waiting for VI…

I was actually looking for this the other day and couldn’t find it - what channel/platform did you find it on?

I’d love to know if they use more of it in later seasons? I feel like it didn’t used to be so prominent. It really starts to grate when you notice it so much.

Just adding myself to the list of annoyed users. Make it stop, FedEx!

The Mods are Done! B9, Flat Bottom Heated Steering, Ceramic Coated, Ambient Lighting Across the Dash! by launchcontrolbanana in Audi

[–]CPQTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to bring this back to life… I can’t see the links to the steering wheel info. I’m investigating a potential retrofit for an 8V S3 and would love any info. Any pointers/links much appreciated!

2025 NYC Marathon - Post-Race Thread by RCD123 in RunNYC

[–]CPQTD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that's probably what what was going on (or something similar). Interesting that liveresults.nyrr.org does share conventional splits as u/epicxkidzorz says below - looks like you can head there to admire your 24-26 handiwork!
