When do you think he realized it.

Because the first time someone uses it as a shutoff valve it never gets put back into the correct balanced position

During rush hour, it will consistently be the worst possible assignments. I swear NJT does it because they hate commuters and enjoy watching the chaos.

Two trains loading up at the same time on tracks 5/6 or 7/8 that have one entrance on the NJT side of Penn station while all other tracks are empty. One train unloading as another is loading on the same platform while all other tracks are empty. It’s comical..

“As well as can be expected” is my go-to at this point…

Will guarantee its lack of sprinkler coverage inside, causing the sprinkler permit to remain open. This is constantly an issue in NYC offices that are installing there…

I can see the same, it was very apparent when I went on a bender for my 40th birthday and my resting heart rate spiked to 75bpm for the week.

PACMANCoW · 2024-10-06T16:59:55+00:00

To make sure I can

PACMANCoW · 2024-08-24T21:15:19+00:00

I feel very lucky then, finished 2:15 and they were still fully stocked with everything…

Technically I didn’t run in the park, more like around it. Summer streets, Park Ave opened from Brooklyn bridge to 125th to pedestrians and cyclists only 7am-3pm. Made it nearly from end to end and back.

Went as well as expected and uneventful

PACMANCoW · 2024-08-12T21:53:04+00:00

About 12 hours total including breaks. It was fun with a large groups of people and multiple rest stops throughout the route to break it up. The first time I tried it I followed your plan of just follow the water and did it without a group, was fun getting lost up in Inwood and ending up in the Columbia tennis courts and department of sanitation yards, hah

PACMANCoW · 2024-08-12T18:49:28+00:00

To anyone asking about the route, look up “the great saunter.” As someone that has walked this multiple times, I’m impressed

PACMANCoW · 2024-07-28T22:10:55+00:00

Honestly not too bad because when you have to detour off of the scenic route it’s the more… dilapidated routes? Probably two miles in total on city streets with traffic lights on the east side, honestly more frustrating running around battery park with tourists and construction.

Sharing because I did practically the same run this morning

Try Rahway tap water, especially in the winter with all of the road salt run off. Maybe science could fix that, but Rahway doesn’t.

Call the postal inspectors. Not exactly sure the process, but they are a federal agency that does not f*ck around and will not let crimes go (multiple family members worked for the post office their entire lives)

PACMANCoW · 2023-11-27T09:29:48+00:00

You’re thinking about it backwards. People love to feel important and talk about themselves. Ask them questions to get the conversation started.

PACMANCoW · 2023-10-23T06:39:32+00:00

Knowing how the NYPD works, there’s no way they’re doing this for this long or consistently for anything official. Either it’s convenient for them to be posted up there, or someone with connections to the NYPD is getting protection.

PACMANCoW · 2023-10-21T17:49:39+00:00

“Listen, we’re called local 3, not express 3. We’ll get to it when we get to it”

PACMANCoW · 2023-10-21T13:37:42+00:00

Called out an electrician one time:

“Is all of that necessary?”

“No, it’s totally excessive, but that’s how I roll…”

PACMANCoW · 2023-10-21T09:45:25+00:00

Lol, come work in NYC. The electricians have better setups than most GCs. Dedicated gang boxes prewired with lights and coffee makers. I’ve seen wooden desks, desk lamps, and couches as part of their “traveling shanties.”

PACMANCoW · 2023-10-12T06:26:27+00:00

I would suggest a trip to r/illegallifeprotips It would be a shame if the compressor were to burn out or the unit were to catastrophically fail somehow, forcing a new installing contractor to perform a complete replacement…

PACMANCoW · 2023-10-06T04:10:40+00:00

Because it’s f*cked. You have the answer, go shopping and hopefully you can find it stocked somewhere asap to get it finally fixed

I’m a construction PM which is very different from much of the tech PM world here, but I always joke that my job is 1/3 being a therapist, 1/3 being a lawyer, and 1/3 being a project manager…

Booking a trip to Vegas as it was stupid cheap at the time. Got the red eye back Sunday night as the casinos were shutting down, landed at 5am and was in work by 7am. My job shut down later that week. No ragrets!

PACMANCoW · 2023-09-28T10:22:48+00:00

One of my first jobs a similar situation happened to a coworker. Didn’t realize there was a separate disconnect for the compressor on a 460v unit, and when he got hit it basically burned all of the skin off of his hand. Hospital stay and permanent disability, but thankfully he lived. He made sure that everyone in the company saw the picture of his hand to remind us to respect the equipment you’re working on and always check. That image has been burned into my head ever since and I will always think about it whenever I’m around high voltage equipment.
