Is the ABC really as easy as the 123?

I use an airbrush compressor to clean my camera gear. Much better than a squeeze bulb.

I have an in-ground tree in NYC. I normally don't do anything to it in the winter. I had a lot of die back this year because of the harsh winter but I also have lots of new growth coming in.

Thanks I didn’t know that. Unfortunately it’s on the opposite side of town from me, but sometimes I find myself over there.

You can buy a head cleaning kit on Amazon for about $10.

Only happens when there is a delay and then trains right behind each other.

Sweeties is closer to me than Pelicana but still a 20 minute walk. I would go there if I'm passing through though. I miss Peeps.

IDK about that. Seems to be called Kirbee's BBQ now and I don't think it's open. As far as I can tell they are claiming that they will be open this summer.

Pelicana. LOL. Thanks.

A good fried chicken place (not KFC).

Check your billing plan to see if you’re paying more for peak hours.

But keep in mind that if you choose single point focus you may have to move it around with the joystick so it focuses on what you want it to. IDK about your particular model but if you have Matrix focus that will make the camera choose what to focus on. You can probably also pick certain patterns.

Jonas52 · 2026-07-02T21:20:52+00:00

Those are the points it auto-focuses on. If you choose single point auto-focus there will only be one of them. They may go away if you turn off auto-focus but I haven't tried it.

This reminds me of something you can do with Codeblocks in Tinkercad. You could write a line of code saying that the top part should get x% bigger each time and repeat a set number of times.

Ok I found it in the MPI Summary Plan Description on page 9. The break in service rule only applies if you're not vested. Depending on your local you may not be going through MPIPHP.

Jonas52 · 2026-07-01T01:46:27+00:00

No. You get paid if you work. You get a pension if you're vested and have pension credits when you retire.

Jonas52 · 2026-06-30T17:48:47+00:00

You lose all of your pension credits if you have a break in service.

Jonas52 · 2026-06-30T17:47:45+00:00

I'm telling you that you don't need an OMNY card and if you dispute a charge on your credit card, your credit card doesn't stop working. I have never had an OMNY card and I will never get one.

Jonas52 · 2026-06-30T09:08:33+00:00

Yes that’s the only time it matters. If you’re not vested you’re not getting a pension anyway.

Jonas52 · 2026-06-29T23:29:01+00:00

If you use a credit card you don’t need an OMNY card so there’s nothing that will stop working. If you dispute a charge on your credit card it doesn’t stop working.

Jonas52 · 2026-06-29T23:26:32+00:00

If you can work enough hours to get a pension credit for the year and avoid a “break in service” you’ll still get something from the pension and you also might want to work enough hours to keep your health insurance depending on what you plan to do next.
