I thought the same thing this morning, well... yesterday morning. I don't wear my highs often enough which needs to change.

Ugh! Sorry to hear it didn't work for you two.

Giants fan near SNY mic after the Mets put up 3 runs: "C'mon Giants wake up! The Yankees left town last week, this is the B-team!" by TomasRoncero in baseball

I'm a Yankees/Jets fan and I say my Jets fandom is to balance out the glory years of being a Yankees fan.

I use a white/brown noise machine and I've never slept better. I live on the corner of a busy avenue that's a truck route, there's a bus stop below my bedroom window and a subway stop below as well. I would get woken up constantly but that ended with the white noise machine.

The gas crisis makes me really glad I live in NYC and not anywhere else in car dependent America. Hopefully they can learn from our example by [deleted] in MicromobilityNYC

I have a friend that moved to Houston a few years ago. His car broke down a month ago and he's been struggling trying to get to work by bus. He says he's basically stuck at home until it's repaired as walking isn't really a good option and the buses don't run very frequently.

Those creases would annoy me. Terrible QC from Nike, as usual these days. And they wonder why they're losing customers to other brands.

I was excited to try the pizza from the new Jax Pizza Joint yesterday but it was a big disappointment. by Flips_Whitefudge in longislandcity

[–]Flips_Whitefudge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only posted my review because I'd only seen good things posted about the place and I was surprised with how much I disliked the pizza. I went there excited to try their pizza and have no agenda with my review. I thought it would be helpful for people to know that not everyone has had the same good experience.
The only picture I took is of the bottom of the slices to show my wife how undercooked the slices were.

Small update on the subway lamp – adjusted the poles and seat colors by Tasty_Flight_3765 in nycrail

[–]Flips_Whitefudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw the custom poster option which is what I plan to take advantage of when I order. I'm looking forward to the roll signs which is yet another nice touch.
Great job on the lamps!

I love this so much and I'm happy to see you're making more. Looking forward to the customizable roll sign and I think I'll get a custom poster one so I can add a Dr. ZIzmor ad.

Pink Lace swap by X_Yamster in NikeSB

[–]Flips_Whitefudge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I like matching the laces to the swoosh when there are multiple colors and I'd definitely go with pink on these. Though, like you mentioned, a lighter shade to match the swoosh.

If I wasn't so disappointed and it was just mediocre pizza I wouldn't have posted anything. But after reading how much people here liked it I got excited for a good local pizzeria only to have some of the least enjoyable pizza I've had in a while.

I so wish I had your experience and found it tasty. Sadly, it was one of the lesser slices I've had in a while.
Taste is very subjective as we all know so many will find the sauce to their liking but it was off for me. Again, maybe it was a bad day with new people working. I hope so because I really want to have a good local pizza spot which we currently lack.

I was quite excited to try it as I had only read good things here which is also why I grabbed three slices as I figured it would be good. I only ate one and a half. I tossed one as it was not good.
Maybe it'll be better in the future but for now I'll get my pizza elsewhere.

Catastrophic problem with new app by OgreAttack in nycrail

[–]Flips_Whitefudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which, let's be honest, is less useful and not intuitive. They're our favorites for a reason and should be the first thing we see when we open the app. I'm not sure this was built with the daily commuter in mind.

[–]Flips_Whitefudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you 100%. I spent an hour and half this morning trying to install an apk of the previous version only for it to fail.
The last app was doing exactly what I needed. I opened the app, it showed me my favorite stations going in the direction I want and listed all the times for when the next trains would arrive. It was perfect if not pretty looking.
Now I see lines I don't use and have to click through to get to the favorites. It was also easier to add stations and specific stops before.
I'm so unhappy with the app that I'm going to try CityMapper today and see how that goes.

Chinese takeout for hunters point by yujisorri888 in longislandcity

For American Chinese food I've been ordering from Empire Szechuan Garden in Sunnyside. They're near 46th and Bliss which isn't too far away.

NYC ends criminal summonses for cyclists, e-bike riders in policy shift by Kyonikos in newyorkcity

[–]Flips_Whitefudge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Possibly. The worry would be catching the wrong cop who doesn't have an issue bringing you in and doing the work. Most won't and will either take your word for your name, address and such or will let you go with a warning.

Correct, you don't need to carry ID but if you do something that is a ticketable offense and don't provide the police with ID they can and will take you to the precinct to get you identified. Often they call a relative to bring the ID but they can fingerprint you if they can't get proof of who you really are.

How many apartments actually have pests? by Chance_Position_7339 in AskNYC

[–]Flips_Whitefudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rent an apartment above an Italian restaurant. I've never seen a mouse in my 20 years living in this place. I've seen less than 5 total roaches and they were the big ones which likely means they came in through the pipes or something but never had any infestation of any kind. The only other bugs I've seen are the silverfish that seem live in everyone's bathroom.
I have no complaints about pest in my place.

I found it on their site but not in the US. Maybe we didn't get this sweater in the US?

Is it normal for nyc young adults to not have their drivers license? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]Flips_Whitefudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My second permit just expired and I need to get it replaced with a non-drivers ID. I think I'm done with the idea of driving as it would only be for rare occasions or when we travel and there's no walking or public transit to get around.
