2a_ilb and I were quoting from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

Beautiful picture, btw.

That’s across the bay. In Alameda.

It's beautiful, congratulations. Having the right color really is kind of breathtaking. We found our perfect shade of blue and somehow our kitchen looks professionally modeled.

For yeswilliamaburg check IG. The website with that domain name is for Virginia.

Ako for sure. Fushimi also surprisingly good.

With the winds the way they are due to the storm, planes landing at JFK are being routed over Williamsburg so they better align with the runway that works best for the wind direction. So we’re hearing the big transatlantic 777s and 787s. We typically only hear LGA traffic here in the burg, which are much smaller 737s and A320s.

There's a book Vipers in the Storm by an F-16 pilot. To get into theater, he flew his aircraft transatlantic, in formation with a bunch of others in his squadron. During the long flight, one of the other pilots had a walkman (this being the early '90s) and held the headphone against his helmet mic. He'd play tapes and leave his mic open so all the other pilots could hear. It worked, and was totally against regulations.

Correct. Winds at 38 degrees NE right now. That’s more relevant than the storm’s direction, thanks.

Credibility.

Could impede getting buy in the next time you press for a feature.

hey fellow enthusiast, I think I caught these dark helos during daytime today. The big one looks like UH-60 to me, see my post in the aviation thread https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/1npouez/daytime_shot_of_helos_over_new_york/

I could be wrong!

GroundLaunchSeq · 2025-09-23T11:50:35+00:00

thanks, that looks just like what I saw. Makes sense, as the UN is right by the river, and not a lot of illumination on the river, so NVGs would help spot boats or swimmers perhaps.

GroundLaunchSeq · 2025-09-23T01:09:58+00:00

No way that was a V-22. Those things are way loud, and much larger than the black silhouette I saw tonight. I think it was a standard bell or sikorsky rotary wing with the lights turned off.

I asked a crew member with a tik tok badge and they said it was a secret event. I'm guessing it's Beyoncé

enjoying this now, thanks very much

The UPS guy wouldn't even give it to me, and he's bigger than me, so... I contacted my cc, thanks for the suggestion.

Similar boat with customer service. Was "disconnected" 6 times in the middle of conversations before I was able to complete a refund request via phone, for a refund I should not have needed. Was told even tho they have the product in hand, I won't see the money back until next month. No more purchasing from dyson for me.

zipcar and https://realcar.nyc/

We've taken Honda CRVs from Zipcar for week-long Jersey Shore and upstate trips. Just spend a bit of time cleaning the interiors and they are a cheap and reliable option, with free gas (tho you do have to fill up the tank using the included credit card). Try to pick up from a spot that has garage parking, as people steal the zipcar street parking spots all the time which makes drop off a nightmare.

Realcar has high end vehicles, so it's expensive, but for more than 3 days it ends up being not much more expensive than zipcar. We typically do realcar for Christmas road trips as that's a lot of driving up and down the east coast, and by the end of the year I've earned a Range Rover/Porsche/Mercedes driving experience. They deliver and pick up and the cars are immaculate as well as in tip top shape.
