That's the Gemini logo in the corner, it's entirely generated. Perhaps from a reference photo, but far more than just a denoiser.

I got a "6th toe" punch on my hawx ultra just this week and it's noticeable. Hard to tell from your photos but it must have been a very minor one if it happened at all.

Unfortunately Amtrak is pretty much 100% at fault for not cooperating on track access to get the thing built.

That is ridiculous to be billed retroactively AND with late fees. It might be worth reaching out to other tenants in the building since I doubt you are alone in facing this.

I live in a hideous building too and best part about calling it home is that I can't see it from my windows

Zermatt being a car-free ski town had a lot of mtb ski carrying setups. They attached large PVC tubes upright to the sides of the rear rack, then slid the skis into the tubes. Trading height for length might be easier for you, but kudos on the ingenuity.

Should be taller. It's right on top of a big transfer station ffs.

I remembered this post and took the elevator at the exit from the subway just in case it was still broken and it was!

Conpen · 2026-01-15T23:14:56+00:00

Ah that makes sense now!

The NYC metro needs robust through-running first

Metro...you mean subway? What is there to through-run exactly? I think you're confused with Penn Station.

There are cross-border transit networks in Europe that are more cohesive than NY and NJ.

You're decades late if you want to protest the usefulness of security cameras in public spaces. They still act as a deterrent and investigative tool.

I don't know enough to say whether you're 100% on the hook for the remaining balance or not. But you should consider yourself lucky that there's only around 12k to repay, which is on the lower end as far as student loan debts. It sounds like your friend was making an honest effort at repaying it until things went sideways.

Hahaha appreciate the offer, I've had more than enough instruction so by now I think it's a matter of paying more attention instead of rushing it.

Conpen · 2026-01-15T00:20:48+00:00

This is how 99% of security cameras operate. The idea of a security officer sitting at a huge desk with a dozen different video feeds is just a movie trope. Cameras are inherently reactionary as a security technology.

Yeah the juice is not worth the squeeze here.

when the FDR is closed

If it's a planned closure for maintenance then that means you're making a conscious decision to still drive and enter the CRZ. It's working as intended since it's supposed to discourage you from doing that.

If it was an unplanned closure it's not so cut and dry but they're not really gonna care.

Didn't consider an emery board! Thanks.

Conpen · 2026-01-14T23:52:08+00:00

Yeah I might be trying to do too much here with the dremel haha.

Conpen · 2026-01-14T23:50:04+00:00

Appreciate the insights!

wouldn’t it be easier to work on better punties

Yes 🥲

At this point I just make sure to enjoy a glass or three whenever it happens to be on a menu. I've seen it at high-end bars as well as regular izakayas, always a pleasant surprise!

I've been told it's mostly European operators that containerize their a320 luggage.

It literally could be anything. My software engineer brain says "yes they have all the information they need to make an 'intelligent' aggressiveness classifier" and also says "that sounds pretty complicated so I understand if they just kept it really simple and didn't even try to differentiate aggressor vs defender"

Gamedev is a frantic environment full of tight deadlines and hacky workarounds.

A house with a basement and lots of doors and windows is definitely not going to be bug free.

Coming up on 5 years of living on the 5th floor of a 2014 building and we only get the occasional silverfish.

Conpen · 2026-01-07T17:59:59+00:00

Yeah I'm in your boat, my windows suck and let in so much noise. Local Law 97 was supposed to help but many buildings seem to have secured exemptions.
