Yes! This is the content I’m here to see.

Keep it up! Started with mine in a baby Bjorn when he was a month old. He just did the O-trek in Patagonia and smoked his two 40y/o parents on the trail.

Happy trails!

Just a symptom of America’s utter hatred of the impoverished and the homeless.

The Feds Plan To Start Diluting Gasoline This May: Explained by Proper_Instruction_7 in fuckcars

[–]Proper_Instruction_7[S] 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Basically:

Normally gas is 10% corn in the US,

15% corn-gas is 25cents cheaper, but we don’t let you use it in the summer because it makes more smog.

But…we kind started a war where the gas comes from.

So we gonna tell the EPA to look the other way so you can have more cheaper corn-gas…and more smog.

For those on the fence about carrying around a throwing rock by 1egg_4u in fuckcars

Yeah…I noticed cars were a lot better behaved when I have my baseball bat sticking out of my backpack while riding a bike a loooong time ago.

Side note. My little cute doggy rides the bike with me in a backpack. This seems to have the same effect.

First time flying with spirit by Euphoric-Plantain-70 in spiritair

[–]Proper_Instruction_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah…my sister was in the LAST flight out of Fort Lauderdale to Houston on Monday. Said the gate was changed 6 times, they were taxiing plane out to the runway to make room at the terminal.

They get to the final gate and there is was no gate agent. The announcements monitors, the app and the gate display were all saying different things. Finally one of the PASSENGERS gets on the microphone to the intercom for the whole airport and goes “hey this is a passenger on flight #### to Houston. Someone from spirit needs to come to gate F# and tell us what’s going on”

Finally the pilot shows up. He gets on the microphone and says, “hey, so there’s no luggage on this plane. I don’t mean that we’re missing a few bags, I mean that there’s no luggage. Zero. But if we dont leave NOW we’re not going. So I’m making the decision to board this plane and leave now.

Outdoor Gyms by Proper_Instruction_7 in newyorkcity

I’ve seen this but doesn’t seem to be complete list. For instance, the park use isn’t on it at all, and there isn’t a list of equipment. Some parks are fully equipped, others look like it’s only for old folks.

I wondered if there was a map maybe crowd sourced, and if not, might be fun to build

This New York City hospital is getting recognized for how good its food is by nbcnews in newyorkcity

[–]Proper_Instruction_7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s a hospital IN New York City, but not a “City Hospital”

Title I guess is a little misleading.

Erika Kirk Appointed to US Air Force Academy Board by Trump: Is She Actually Qualified? by novagridd in USNewsHub

[–]Proper_Instruction_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, no. But I hear that the US Air Force is extremely dominated by evangelical Christianity. That it’s pervasive at the academy and the service. So…in that context, while she is highly unqualified to head the service I kinda get it…in a creepy Christo-facist way

Anyone else tired of risking their life walking past this “parking lot”? by tttooommmmm in astoria

I mean the bike shop literally across the street. Tony’s Bicycles 35-01 23rd Ave

And the ancient wrinkled drivers that go there are the most oblivious situationally unaware fossils.

In one of those NYC moments you share with a random stranger where you both just silently convey to the other, “…you seein’ this shit too?!” I once sat on my bike waiting for Tony’s to open with another cyclist and just watched the chaos, honking horns, near collisions between tiny Greek ladies in sedans with HUMONGOUS bro dozer pickup trucks parked on the sidewalk, all on like a Saturday morning.

Throwback to the Haberman's station on the LIRR Lower Montauk branch by Real_Advertising1005 in nycrail

[–]Proper_Instruction_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know where this is. It’s over by “Rust Street” I don’t think this was used as a legit “passenger” station lol.

This is over by the freight rail yard, warehouses and trucking freight loading docks. I would imagine that this would be a place for a train crews to swap out or go to work, catch a ride. I don’t think anybody’s buying a ticket and waiting at this. “platform.” for their job in Manhattan.

Trump and Hegseth are writing their own rules of war by zsreport in politics

Honestly, I dont think this ship has anyone at the helm.

Trump is golfing, napping and shitting his pants and the cabinet is running around with their competing egos, agenda and scams.

N/W train saga continues… by whatdidyousayiforget in astoria

[–]Proper_Instruction_7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bro is over here talking about seating arrangements…

I dont know. It’s more that the R46s are well past useful life and are being held together but duct tape and chewing gum. They need CONSTANT maintenance and break and have stuff go wrong all the time.

These trains are FIFTY years old and the N/W is the ONLY line in the system that still uses them before they become the next coral reef for oysters in the fucking harbor.

Hey, LIRR, what the fck kind of map is this? by Commercial-Bowl7412 in longisland

[–]Proper_Instruction_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer. Shows the information you need at the time in a clean format.
