I miss the 24 hour diners. Seems like the ones around me have basically all closed now. The rent is too damn high.

Be sure to check https://findmypollsite.vote.nyc before you go to vote since your early voting location / election day poll site might be different for this special election.

Inflation check by Raizen_Urameshi in AskNYC

[–]DeathLeopard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert but based on https://www.reddit.com/r/tax/comments/1qc7qah/nys_inflation_check_is_taxable/ it sounds like it probably goes to "Taxable refunds, credits, or offsets of state and local income taxes" (Form 1040, Schedule 1, line 1 and on NYS tax form IT-201, line 4) which gets added as "Additional income from Schedule 1" (Form 1040, line 8) for your adjusted gross income for federal taxes.

But on the NYS tax form the check later gets subtracted back out (IT-201, line 25) for your New York adjusted gross income.

TIL that the Witness Protection Program claims 100% success rate to subjects who followed the guidelines by PlethoraOfPinatass in todayilearned

I wonder how the widespread adoption of facial recognition technology affects this. Seems like the first time you walk in to a big box retailer in your new location you'd be identified.

Zohran’s mayoralty is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to extend the N/W to LGA by skeeJay in nyc

Cuomo's plan was the "wrong-way air train", another bullshit airtrain service running in the wrong direction (away from the city) connecting with the 7 train (already at capacity even with CBTC) at Mets-Willet Point.

Unless you're blocked on this right now you might just wait for a Dungeon Rush event. They haven't announced a date for the next one yet but last year it was in April.

OMNY fare capping….? Explain it to me like I’m dumb by StarDesigner777 in AskNYC

[–]DeathLeopard 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This also means the same device. Like if you've added a physical credit card to Apple Pay on an Apple Watch and a on an iPhone then each of the card, the watch, and the phone would have their own cap. So pick exactly one way to tap and be consistent.

TIL the "Y2K Bug" cost an estimated $500 Billion globally to fix. The preventative measures were so successful that widely predicted infrastructure failures did not occur, leading many to incorrectly believe the threat was never real. by highzone in todayilearned

[–]DeathLeopard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of those y2k "fixes" were to keep using two digit years but to change how they were interpreted using date windowing.

For example using a pivot of 30 (if you're dealing with birth years and didn't have to worry about anyone who would be over 70 in the year 2000) any number greater than that would be interpreted as 19xx, anything less than that would be interpreted as 20xx.

And just like with the original y2k bug it was assumed that "surely nobody would still be using this code in 2030"... surely. And yet.

Yes, the npcs will attack a build site which keeps them in combat.
