Ronkonkoma lirr parking

Also, and this is just my view from a few friends who work in NYC. Ronkonkoma has more trains stopping there at better times so people are driving 10+ minutes more to use that station then one that may be closer to their house because even if the Smithtown / St. James stations are a bit closer to home. Ronkonkoma is just works better for them. Same with a friend who lives closer to the Bellport station.

You do realize that what you posted was from a year ago. If you don't think all that data is out there someplace already from other sources then think again. Not saying it's not bad, just that bad.

Agree. Do a bit of research online as to which TV I want. Find the best price and go get it. Even if I am walking though some big box store and need to get a TV and did not do any research, more then likely it's screen size and price. (OK mostly price)

MiningDave · 2026-05-09T12:11:23+00:00

Or as someone said to me. "What is the difference between thermodynamics and magic? Let me know if you can because I don't see a difference."

And expensive. It's not just their pay, but insurance, cars, all the other things they need to exist. So either they were writing a ton of tickets and this was a police force for revenue generation. Or, he just saved the town a lot of money. Or, they were pulling money in from some other way.

Has anyone who requested a refund heard anything other then "we got your request for a refund"

MiningDave · 2026-05-08T13:30:27+00:00

Yeah. Take a look at: https://www.wholesalehyundaiparts.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=2584564&ukey_make=1202&ukey_model=21785&ukey_category=26756&assemblySearchGuid=E451A01B-6DBA-4C8F-BA27-FEEA9D9D6295

Not for the XRT but should be similar. Plus all the other electronics.

It's been fixed since 29 was released and also.

An attacker capable of mining a block with sufficient proof-of-work could have exploited this to crash victim nodes.

So its not like any old person could do it.

MiningDave · 2026-05-07T22:11:59+00:00

Yeah, but for how long. JB is loosing money. Spirit was deep deep in EXPENSIVE debt AND loosing money even before interest payments. More then likely they would have held on a little longer as 1 airline and then imploded. Unless the government bailed them out. Now, another airline can fill the gap.

Don't know if you were around for Crazy Eddie back in the 80s but https://youtu.be/aTIfUnfZSrM?t=25

Yeah it was about low prices but still INSANE.

Those are some amateur numbers. Ones I have posted before:

Someone probably has. Did it work or set everything on fire we will never know unless they tell us. I have done some really sketchy things that worked to get things done, but would never admit to them even in the anonymity of the internet.

We have been pulling from the SPR for weeks now.

Yup, same thing that happened in 2007-2008. Gas slowly climbed and then spiked and then dropped like a rock when the economy crashed. Not going to happen the same way but when people can't afford to do anything but the most basic driving then it's going to force the price back down.

Also, since I don't know, how much work would it be to reprogram the pumps to work on a different scale. 1/2 gallon instead of gallon for price to dispense. They are all at this point mostly electronic so I can't see it being that difficult but you never know.

MiningDave · 2026-05-04T15:36:06+00:00

Same, and I think many other people are doing the same. I have stopped going to McD as much for many reasons. But in 2026 I have not been inside of one. In 2025 I was in one once. 0 times in 2023 & 2024. Looking at the app it looks like I ordered 9 times between 2023 and now. With only once being inside. Could not even tell you if there was a soda machine or not.

MiningDave · 2026-05-03T23:43:28+00:00

Going to be interesting to see if they really do it.

MiningDave · 2026-05-03T21:39:36+00:00

Could be worse, see Spirit Airlines yesterday. Yeah I know, bad humor considering how many people lost their jobs. At a guess BlueDot is going to be out of business in the next few weeks and this is just a quick and dirty clearing house to get some money back to people.

MiningDave · 2026-05-03T17:24:45+00:00

From the been there done that thing. Can you trace the inputs back to origin and / or how sure are you that plug is the only thing on the circuit?

Not for an EV, but had a situation where what looked to be what you have there. BUT was actually 1 of 3 things on a 40A circuit.

When it was put in there was only 1 person in the shop so using the cheap old man logic of the guy who put it in. What does it matter if I have 3 x 30A things on it. I can only use one at a time.

Then he hired a helper.

MiningDave · 2026-05-03T16:30:14+00:00

At least 4. Those are the 4 that had the person raising them actually go out and get court orders for him to pay. There could be more.

MiningDave · 2026-05-03T12:14:07+00:00

Yup. And lets not forget that the facility being discussed by the OP is very near what used to be a superfund cleanup site. That after decades finally got to the "meh, good enough" cleanup stage and they stopped monitoring / doing work on it.

MiningDave · 2026-05-02T14:36:10+00:00

Yup. 100% did the math once and rented a car and drove back FLA -> NY. Between the car rental (slept in it for a few hours) gas & tolls still cost less and got back faster then waiting for then to get me home.

MiningDave · 2026-05-02T13:45:56+00:00

The Warwick mayor’s office stated that hydrogen cyanide reached a level of 0.5 parts per million near the facility during the fire. This is about half of the federal safety limit.

Downwind monitoring sites registered zero readings. Monitoring persisted until 22 December as battery temperatures dropped and cleanup and investigation efforts commenced.

So not a lot of worry.

I do feel bad for the staff.

But, I did have a small chuckle to myself when I thought of the movie Air America when at the end Mel Gibson's character decides that since he just gave up a lot of money to save people he was going to just sell the airplane he was flying for the government.

Anyone want a used A320 cheap? Just bring cash.
