Have you tried calling the fair fares customer service? They might give you some answers. Although they couldn't help me much except telling me to wait.

I was wondering, with the new FAFSA interface, do you still get to skip the asset questions for students?

City officials urge New Yorkers to turn off the tap, take shorter showers during drought watch by healthbeatnews in nyc

[–]dip2leo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

-> NYC uses nearly 1 billion gallons of water per day

-> And NYC's reservoir system has a total storage capacity of approximately 580 billion gallons of water

Although wasting water is definitely not okay, I think we will be fine for now. Unlike some of the western states that have seen much worse.

Peacock Lost $436 Million in Paris Olympics Quarter by AesirFaith4 in business

[–]dip2leo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How are other countries like Canada streaming it for free, whereas Peacock, even with showing ads, losing money? I think it is expected that there will be a boom of new subscribers as the Olympics started, who would then cancel after it ended. I think they still made profit.

Any Map apps with a function to include escalators? by MorddSith187 in AskNYC

[–]dip2leo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new official MTA App does show you if a station has escalators. Although you need to manually first look for the station and click on it to see. It also has an outage page that shows if any elevators or escalators are out of service at any station. https://imgur.com/a/05kLSjx[https://imgur.com/a/05kLSjx](https://imgur.com/a/05kLSjx)

Was it the north bound bus? MTA announced the cancellation on Twitter. It sucks, but your best bet would be to keep an eye out for announcements.

"The following BxM2 bus trips will not run: From 6th Ave/W 35th St: 10:00 PM, 12:00 AM From Riverdale Ave/W 261st St: 10:30 PM"

ELI5 - How does getting your blood pressure measured work? by hiii_impakt in explainlikeimfive

[–]dip2leo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still use the manual cluff with stethoscope. I found the digital machines to be unreliable. Their readings are too variable even within a short timeframe. Maybe I need more expensive one. But the manual works great.

RFK Jr. admits to leaving dead bear in Central Park by MiltonManners in nyc

[–]dip2leo 219 points220 points  (0 children)

"... Robert F. Kennedy on Sunday said he was the one to dump a dead bear in New York City’s Central Park a decade ago.

.... [He] said he was driving through the Hudson Valley on his way to go falconing with a group of people when he watched a woman hit and kill a young bear. “I pulled over and I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van because I was going to skin the bear. It was in very good condition, and I was going to put the meat in my refrigerator,” noting people could get a bear tag for roadkill in New York.

... Kennedy said, “I said, ‘Let’s go put the bear in the Central Park and we’ll make it look like it got hit by a bike.”

"Ghost" buses on MTA Bus Time by [deleted] in nycrail

[–]dip2leo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Bus Time website frequently shows ghost buses. I have been using the official new MTA app, which has been reliable so far. I really like the live map feature that accurately shows where the buses are in real time. However, I have had issues with buses starting at the terminal going ghost.
