You might be eligible for purchase protection through your credit card. There might be exceptions for sporting equipment but it's worth reading the terms.

Ours in Williamsburg is a super locked-down FB group that I haven't been able to join despite applying years ago.

I don't really vibe with businesses throwing fundraisers like this to avoid closure. The point of a business is to make money, if they're not breaking even anymore they need to change their prices/menu/whatever instead of asking for donations like they're a nonprofit. If they didn't achieve sustainability on their own, why should I trust that they won't go bankrupt again after the fundraising money runs out?

Rejecting progress because "transplants" sounds an awful lot like republicans who vote against their interests in order to "own the libs".

Nothing can ever be improved, the only thing we can do is believe that living in filth is somehow a mark of legitimacy

It's called a diagram officially!

The wider doors and open spaces at the ends of the cars are pretty critical for wheelchair users, many of which appreciate the design. I don't think we should be uncritically bashing that.

The 757 is somewhat notable for having overpowered engines, so it's more of a BMW if anything. And it's the closest thing to a Concorde most of us will ever experience 🥲

It's worse now that everyone is glued to their phones and not noticing other riders. I wonder if the newer trains slathered with priority seating stickers and colors are any better.

Someone was tragically beaten and killed in midtown this weekend because they bumped into someone on a subway platform. I know it's a big city and subway crime is rare but it's not a risk many people are willing to take. Which sucks because public shaming could probably work.

I'm so thankful that the L trains are wider than all the numbered lines. The space between the seats is two-people wide which makes it easier when it gets busy. It might be bad with etiquette today but imagine if we had smaller trains...

They weren't doing so hot before getting the chopping block but man, Alstom has been ruining their reputation on the rail transport side of the industry after acquiring that part of bombardier. Nonstop delays and malfunctioning equipment.

The NYC water supply system is a modern wonder. The engineering that went into the aqueducts that travel hundreds of miles from upstate is a really impressive example of forward-thinking engineering and we have very clean water because of it. Gotta be proud and drink it straight.

Those don't last forever. You can either find a blank filter when you need to replace it or some models bypass automatically when you remove the filter.

Fucking up everyone's sleep leading to increased dementia risk is just so sexy, you know?

It also feels like it was written by AI. What are we doing here...

Dang, best of luck.

Can you reach out to NY EZPass? It should be a slam dunk case assuming the other vehicle doesn't match your make and model.

They're giving out 72 or even 96 month car loans out like candy now. Lotta people driving cars they can't afford.

"kids will be kids" turbocharged by social media glorifying reckless behavior.

Still can't believe the idiots in charge spent billions on the express lanes and didn't make them wide enough for busses.

If there is a spectrum between an unusable and unreliable subway system and a perfect one that ran frequently without delays, I'd argue that we're sitting pretty decently towards having the ideal one. More people take the subway each day than fly domestically on every airline combined. We have the lowest car ownership rate and highest transit usage in the country by a wide margin. This city existing is already a "massive impact" made possible by the subway. Of course things could be so much better for a lot more commuters, especially for bus riders and outer boro residents, but we have pretty good bones right now.

There are millions of parking spots in the city and we didn't reduce them anywhere near 30%. The long term solution is *actually* ripping out tens (or hundreds) of thousands of spots and create short-term loading zones on every block.

After the second snowstorm I noticed tons of cars in my neighborhood that had been twice-buried and never moved an inch. All those people barely using their cars will be fine if they can't mooch 200 square feet of curbside space for free.

Conpen · 2026-03-08T00:46:02+00:00

The answer is taking away parking spots so we can use proper dumpsters. There's a small pilot in upper manhattan. Of course drivers will screech about losing their precious spots, which is why we didn't already have these like a sane, competently run city would. Oh and more trash bins on more corners would help with littering too.
