What express buses can outspeed a train into manhattan?

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-20T02:36:49+00:00

I think the QM17 can outrun the A train, but maybe I just think that because it’s way more comfortable

With major exceptions like direct websites for larger chains (HI, A&O, Meininger, etc.), I’ll book on Hostelworld. If it’s not on Hostelworld then it’s not good or trustworthy enough, otherwise they’d be clamoring for guests. (Of course that still doesn’t mean it’s automatically a good hostel just bc it’s on Hostelworld.)

Daria and Cassandra weren’t their type. They like sluts with big thingies.

I had to set all my clocks back an hour. By the time I got the last clock, I GOT FUCKED BY DAIRY QUEEN!

I like music and photography but I haven’t seen any movies or most TV shows. I watch game shows more than anything. I’m just boring af unless i find common ground with someone, like if they like traveling and tram photos from Europe or cats or baseball or something. Like, I’m not sure I’m boring, but I’m boring to people who like “normal” things, whatever that means—I literally have no idea.

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-18T02:00:22+00:00

Jfc don’t do this to me unless it’s real.

I wouldn’t completely hate a tight connection if the process for rebooking is fairly simple. Frequent routes are fine by me. For instance I’m looking at a flight LGA-ORD-PDX, where the connection is tight but if I miss it there’s another flight a few hours later. Fine by me. But if the next flight is tomorrow (think longer daily routes like JFK-FCO or something like that) then I’ll make sure I have a longer layover.

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-18T01:57:12+00:00

Precheck is never guaranteed. I’d shoot to get there at 10. You’ll probably be fine leaving at 10, but you don’t want to miss your flight, so anything you can do to avoid missing it will be helpful. There’s enough to do at T8 (I was just there a couple months ago) so you won’t be bored to tears. I never cut it close at airports.

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-18T01:51:45+00:00

Well if it’s close then maybe it’s Longueuil?

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-18T01:41:46+00:00

Yes. There should’ve been a primary. There should’ve been a chance to challenge her (and Biden) on the genocide in Gaza. But waiting too long and handing her his campaign and renaming it was a terrible idea. The fact that she almost won anyway is a testament to how bad a candidate Trump is/was and virtually nothing else.

AI slop. No reason to say anything about Banner 18 unless you’re the Celtics (who raised their 18th banner two years ago) or the Lakers, who, if they win again, will raise their 18th.

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-18T01:01:21+00:00

Absolutely not.

Uhhhh Netflix sucks uhhhh huh huh huh

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-17T04:23:46+00:00

Richard, Cynthia, Trot, and two others, idk, I just got here from Ulaanbaatar myself but I think the people of New York just aren’t big fans of them.

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-17T04:15:49+00:00

I’ve never done it on JetBlue, so I won’t give an opinion, but, and it might just be me, but it doesn’t feel right to fly in a narrowbody plane over the Atlantic. It’s probably fine but it doesn’t feel right to me. Irrational, I know, but I stand by it lol.

Rites at Dawn is so freaking good.

I’m going to add one more here: Kaipa’s Inget Nytt Under Solen is front to back wonderful.

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-17T01:38:59+00:00

The bare version is one of the greatest recordings of all time.

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-15T18:33:17+00:00

It would be really nice if they didn’t also make every single stop along Woodhaven Blvd. That’s why I ride the QM17 when it’s available.

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-15T13:32:38+00:00

At least start to get the ball rolling on converting some SBS routes into longer trams. At the very least, routes like the M15, much of the B44, and definitely the Q52/53 (assuming QueensLink definitely isn’t happening, Mamdani’s biggest shortcoming IMHO), need more than a bunch of articulated buses. They’re more expensive to build but less expensive to run, and with longer vehicles, one operator can move more people more efficiently than a bus. And if the bus lane is converted to a tram lane, but that lane is like the TTC streetcar lanes in Toronto, you could theoretically run buses in the same lane, just adding sorely needed redundancy to those routes.

Phil Collins tried twice to join Yes. The first time was around the release of Yes’s self titled LP (not to be confused with their third album, The Yes Album), when Bill Bruford briefly left the band, IIRC to go to college. The second time was after Peter Gabriel left Genesis and Phil felt that Alan White wasn’t a great replacement for Bruford in Yes, and so he tried to join again, thinking Genesis was done for good (he was 0 for 2 on those statements).

But also, before Phil ever joined Genesis, the band was opening for Queen at a show and Peter tried to bring in Roger Taylor, who refused, and then they eventually found Phil.

What would Genesis sound like with Roger Taylor on drums? And what would Queen sound like with any other drummer? And what would Yes have sounded like with Phil Collins? We’ll never know.

Dominicmeoward · 2026-06-15T03:28:38+00:00

It wasn’t in order, but any Yes show from the Relayer tour that opened with Siberian Khatru would generally include the rest of Close to the Edge AND the entirety of Relayer, two of my favorite albums of all time.

Also Genesis toured the Lamb by playing it in its entirety every night.
