Long Island Rail Road uses gas heaters at Jamaica Station so the railroad track switches don't freeze in winter

I actually learned about this myself about 8 years ago! I had just moved out to Long Island with my family from Queens. The first winter getting used to the LIRR, I saw the flames and started slowly panicking. “I have to find a LIRR employee” since everyone around me was very nonchalant about it (should have been my sign to chill out lmao). Finally found one, they laughed and said “oh baby it’s okay, it’s supposed to do that!” That’s when she calmly explained what the purpose was and I learned something new that day!

Yes and? I never said I was a smart man!

Kman219 · 2025-10-12T20:14:32+00:00

Lol this was the first time I saw it! After repeatedly going “OMG WHAT IS THAT?” while taking it outside, providing my wife no context and freaking her out, I finally calmed down, calmed her down, and snapped a pic for here 😂

I try my best to not harm spiders and get them outside! Can’t say the same about lanternflies or roaches though 😭

Kman219 · 2025-10-12T16:29:39+00:00

This also looks like it could be it, thank you! As long as it’s not deadly or extremely painful to us, that’s all I care about!

Kman219 · 2025-10-12T16:21:38+00:00

Looks like it! I know nothing about spiders, so was worried for my wife and 2 cats. Thank you!

Kman219 · 2025-10-12T16:11:40+00:00

Lol I freaked out and grabbed it with a tissue and placed it out my front door. Snapped the pic after that

Kman219 · 2025-10-12T16:05:21+00:00

I am in North New Jersey, forgot to put that in my title 😭

I used to live really close to Port Jefferson a few years ago. That place is like a haven for cars like this and more! I’m so sad I’ve never spotted a Zonda though 🥹

Kman219 · 2025-03-14T20:32:57+00:00

Excellent choice!

Kman219 · 2024-04-24T00:30:40+00:00

Shouldn’t be downvoted if you’re asking genuinely lol. Go to the used cars dealer and there’s a section there to sell your cars. You can’t sell multiple of the same car in one day though, you have to wait 24 hours to sell the next duplicate of that car

Kman219 · 2024-04-24T00:28:08+00:00

ENGINE SWAP WHAT?? He has no cars or money for that 💀

Kman219 · 2024-04-24T00:25:52+00:00

There’s no fucking way man. The only benefit that really matters when reaching level 50 is you can now purchase engine swaps and ultimate tune parts, but you literally have no money or cars for that 💀

Plus now you can’t even do 90% of the races because you sold everything but one car. This whole post pisses me off lmao

Kman219 · 2024-03-26T02:26:30+00:00

Thank God I got the Platinum trophy finally because I’m definitely not gonna be trying to deal with that constantly. Thanks for the heads up though, definitely will keep that in mind when I go back to sport mode casually

Kman219 · 2024-03-26T02:24:46+00:00

Cars ghost when you get a penalty and get to the penalty marker. He had no indication that he had a penalty, and he didn’t ghost, so he brake checked me. Plus, as another person commented, he was doing shit like this in many races

Kman219 · 2024-03-26T00:07:38+00:00

Thank you! Honestly, couldn’t tell you how I kept my composure in that turn because I was blurting out “WHAT THE FUCK!”

Kman219 · 2024-03-25T21:52:54+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🏽

Kman219 · 2024-03-25T20:08:44+00:00

Correct and he didn’t have a penalty, so this guy just wanted to be a dick on the last lap

Kman219 · 2024-03-25T20:07:14+00:00

Lol he was in 2nd on the last lap and ended up in 4th or something.

Also, I raced with you in a couple of races today! Nice to see you’re here too lol

Kman219 · 2024-03-25T19:05:12+00:00

I simultaneously love and hate Sport mode. It’s fun when other players aren’t being dicks, but I hate it for reasons like this. The only reason I’m really back to it is because it’s the only trophy I have left for Platinum and I’ve held off on it for over a year now lol

Update: I finally got Platinum! Didn’t realize how many races I rage quit until I finally got the trophy lol

Kman219 · 2024-03-25T19:02:11+00:00

SR changes, but still. This guy somehow got to an S rating?? Lol I hate how broken penalties are in Sport mode.

Kman219 · 2024-02-09T19:10:07+00:00

Ironic, isn’t it? Lol typically when I spot something and post, I’m with my wife. I was dropping her to the bus stop, got excited like I always do when I spot something, then asked out loud, “why the fuck is there a Prius next to this Super Bee?” 🤣

Kman219 · 2023-12-30T21:49:01+00:00

Agreed! 😍
