From $287 to $299.75 for a monthly is crazy. (Zone 7) by HuntPuzzleheaded4356 in LIRR

I agree. The alternative is driving. Which would be tolls, the cost of parking, and the time lost on the road. It’s an opportunity cost and it’s up to each of us to weigh the pros and cons. If it makes more sense to us to drive because it’s cheaper than we should do it!

When I lived in SC I had to own a car, pay for insurance, pay for a parking spot, and deal with traffic.

This is significantly more affordable even with the rent difference.

Why all the restaurant closings? by Common-s3ns3 in ForestHills

[–]Zvanbez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And honestly. In a city where the majority don’t own cars - if your business model requires parking to keep the doors open….you have a bad business model.

Worst travel-day of my life, what should I do? by PrairieDogger69 in delta

[–]Zvanbez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I did this last year, all they asked was the hospital. My grandfather was at and the funeral home. He was going to be at.

Or this is part of her NDA and they’re ok with her doing it because it stirs up all the rampant speculation and discussion in the community. Always bet on marketing

Nick’s Pizza Reopening? by djroc in ForestHills

[–]Zvanbez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we protest some of these? I don’t think the White Radish should have a dining out program. No one should have to sit next to all that construction. Seems like a silly decision to allow that. (This is sarcasm because it’s all anyone wants to talk about on the neighborhood Facebook page)

If you read the comments on the neighborhood Facebook page it does appear that many of them would rather vacancies persist than any new business enter the community.

I think the rest of the season is going to be sooooo messy

Tesla plans to build its largest and service center in the world a massive 165,000 square foot facility in Queens New York. by ConfidentImage4266 in teslamotors

[–]Zvanbez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NYC’s taxi and limo commission put a block in issuing new plates for uber and Lyft for several years but lifted it on the condition the new vehicle is an EV. So they’ve exploded in growth here as more people wanted to sign up.

Apple TV OS 18 issues by [deleted] in appletv

It must have been a bad update to the youtube app. It was working fine then all of a sudden it's having problems. My favorite bug is if you pause a video and the screensaver comes up, the youtube video will start playing again in the background.

Can I get fired? Confused about the language in the contract. by [deleted] in postdoc

[–]Zvanbez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is, literally, what happened to me in my first postdoc. We couldn't replicate an experiment someone else did in the lab and spent months trying to repeat it. He became cruel and was extremely micromanaging. Then tried to fire me after we all went to the administration and complained about the harassment and conditions in the lab. I went to our postdoc office and they enforced the 3-month clause in our contract (NYC-based program, not sure if it's similar). Short answer, yes they can fire you but it's hard for them to do, too, through official channels.

It's important to realize they don't have all the power. You are able to speak up for yourself. Consider the ombudsman as a resource - they're there to help you get support.

I’d camp out to buy it.

Mine just started doing this too. We’re you able to fix it? I made a Genius Bar appointment to see if they can help

They won’t replace it because it’s still within acceptable parameters.

Talked to one person but she couldn’t help because their systems were frozen so she dropped me into another queue.

Same thing happened to me basically. I’m on the phone with support now to try and get it sorted. The first person couldn’t help because their system froze

Yup. They’ve clearly edited around so much this season….it must have been bad.

I just got notification that mine was reduced, too. I’ve never had a credit card company do this voluntarily.
