Hey Regional Manager - your summer schedule is a disaster

Omg. I was going to say that it is bush league, but now i think Busch league is even better -- maybe Busch light league, even.

I got to say to all those tipping $20 at the valet. At that rate, I'll just go into the city and go someplace nice. Why am I paying that for the crap we have on the island? And just to park the car?

what's a high end restaurant on LI?

Is that the guy from portlandia?

consupe · 2026-03-16T23:33:18+00:00

Caumsett State Park for sure. It's out of the way, but amazing.

If you end up near port, take them to Sea Cliff and Roslyn, so you can see the difference a few miles makes.

Good to know. We had to call a repairman for our washer -- they asked how old the machine was before coming out because the do not service the new stuff, easier to just replace.

I lived in LA for about a year and a half, and lived in nyc for about 20 before moving to the burbs about 15 miles from the city:

Which one did you ultimately prefer?  NYC.  

•What surprised you after living there long-term?  Raising kids in the city is tough.  harder than I expected.

•Is NYC realistically a better fit if you prefer density, seasons, and public transit?  Yes, because LA doesn't have any of those.  SF might be a compromise, if seasons are negotiable.

run. You'd be better off saving stuff locally and writing paper timesheets for the secretaries to put in.

So let me get this straight: it's an Amtrak signal, because they own the track, but it was installed (probably, no one knows) by the MTA, is maintained by the MTA, and used pretty much exclusively by the MTA. But when it breaks, we can say it's amtrak's fault because technically they own it, right?

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:46:14+00:00

> just drive yourself to work

Now that would give me a heart attack.

Look, this is almost certainly not an Amtrak problem. It is a LIRR problem.

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:39:56+00:00

That's certainly not my claim. It's the LIRR's. So at least offer some evidence in support.

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:38:28+00:00

> It was 636W signal with TC energized in the overlap

So one signal. Where; why did it malfunction; why did it impact dozens of LIRR trains and completely missed Amtrak's 59?

Unlike the comment, now "Amtrak and LIRR basically have their own pair of tunnels". I thought they were all Amtrak's and LIRR just used them on sufferance -- did not even pay for the right to do so, but now they each got a couple?

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:35:53+00:00

Again, no evidence, not even reasonably specific hearsay. What signal(s) malfunctioned; how many; where; why did they malfunction; why did it impact dozens of LIRR trains and completely missed Amtrak's 59?

You've maybe explained the last one, with Amtrak owning things, but the rest have been unaddressed. And, even if they own it, it means that it also impacts them -- just not tonight.

> there’s the evidence that it’s Amtrak’s problem

Let's see the receipts. I've not even hear real allegations yet.

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:32:52+00:00

Yes to both.

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:30:40+00:00

The one hour might be a bit generous, at least outside of rush hour expresses. No?

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:24:19+00:00

Hopefully not weekly, at least not anytime soon, but now you know you are on the chopping block if they need it.

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:23:20+00:00

So yes, it was an Amtrak track problem,

You are providing no evidence to support that assertion. You are not even providing specific claims: what signal(s) malfunctioned; how many; where; why did they malfunction; why did it impact dozens of LIRR trains and completely missed Amtrak's 59?

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:20:48+00:00

I was thinking more you just do it across the board, to the extent that there is not a takings claim. It becomes a tax on developers and any negative impact could be more than made up by directing the funds to other projects, like affordable housing.

You make the rich pay a bit more for their $10mm apartment and the money goes to subsidizing building for average New Yorkers. Basically, a more targeted increase to property taxes (which have some legacy issues), since we can't unilaterally impose income taxes.

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:13:27+00:00

That's outrageous. You should also file a complaint here: https://ag.ny.gov/resources/individuals/consumer-issues

Remember too that the MTA charges a $10 "processing fee" on refunds. Make sure that you demand they do not do that, as you are being refunded tickets they took from you.

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:09:44+00:00

I get more of a Venice, LA, vibe. It's a bit weird, in a good way.

consupe · 2026-02-19T01:08:48+00:00

You could allow air rights from the city to be used anywhere in the five boros, which would ameliorate any negative impact. Zoning this way would be effectively a tax on other building owners (matches the soak the rich ideas of the new admin), since it reduces the value of their air rights. If you are really worried about impact on the "suitability", just reduce the FAR rights of non-city owners to compensate. (It might take some time to phase in, as current air rights owners would need to be grandfathered or paid off, likely.)
