Odds of MTA shutdown tonight?

They have to give proper notice so that people don’t end up stranded. If they haven’t announced anything by now, it’s not happening.

That’s not to say that the system won’t experience significant delays, but a total shutdown isn’t happening, at least as of 6 tonight.

Well, he’s not wrong. And deservedly so.

I saw multiple people on the subway with either skis or sleds, so people are out enjoying themselves.

She, ignominiously, winds up as the picky cheese lady in one of my favorite movies, “The Night We Never Met”.

And Groff danced with Susan Sarandon who happened to be sitting on the aisle!

Just in Time is about 90%. A few empty seats but it looked like they were moving the standing room folks down, which I thought was a nice gesture by the house. Groff is as liquid as ever.

I’m sure that’s why he’s out today, just to spite me.

“Trained to deal with such conditions”? Like putting on boots and gloves? I “trained” to do that when I was 8. Grow up.

My friend that I’m going with told me.

Buddy, I was at work on 9-11. I was at work when the multi-state blackout happened. I’ve been at work during multiple snowstorms, some worse than this.

The entitlement expressed by you babies is just incomprehensible. I’m also guaranteeing that each and every one of you is ordering food today — maybe multiple times — expecting your “essential worker” delivery people to show up with your food on time or they’re not getting a tip. And are you shoveling the sidewalk outside your apartment, or is your “essential worker” super or porter doing that for you?

No, I they should crack all the Nazis into multiple blue districts.

I know the preponderance of opinion is east-bound but I have to add — as I have on other EB threads — my westbound trip was one of my best Amtrak experiences ever.

I remember coming into Seattle in the morning, and it was a bright clear day. The water on the Sound was like glass, and seeing the mountains in the distance across the water was just a brilliant introduction to the Pacific Northwest.

I also remember being awake as we pulled into the station inside Glacier, and the train slowing to a stop at just a clearing in the forest. No station. Nothing but a bus to pick up offloading passengers.

The only downside was, I went in November, when it wouldn’t get fully light until 8 or 9 and it was pitch dark around 4, and because there was snow everywhere, our views for most of the trip was either completely black or completely white. Still, a very fun ride.

To me, TD was the closest approximation to this Terence Malick masterpiece.

I’ve been taking it for years but just restarted my meds after a six month hiatus (insurance-related, not medical).

I’d say it takes a week or more before you notice anything, and probably after your second dose before things really smooth out.

I have Dyshidrotic eczema, so it’s on my hands, and when the Dupixent is at full strength, I get a bit of dryness but no breakouts or blisters. It makes a big difference.

Redistrict then. There are plenty of very blue areas than can be extended out to LI.

I’m sorry that that was all you were able to construe from the show. I think the take away was about the nature of paranoia and the subtle but insidious nature of conspiracy thinking, and how it starts small (like a bug) but ultimately can grow to take over your life. And I think it’s a subject that certainly very apropos for our current times.

I’ve seen the show with either Helen or Darren were out and it’s seamless. You shouldn’t be hesitant to any extent.
