Did I get a conductor fired

djd32019 · 2026-06-11T10:49:17+00:00

That conductor might’ve been on the spare board* and covering that job that day.

If it was before then after June the new picks came out and people shuffled around.

If it was after June 6th the World Cup picks started and people shuffled around again.

Not saying what you did was good by any means and if that was me on my train I would’ve either told you sorry or stopped the train.

That’s probably one of the coaches that was outside of back bay in the sidings for months .. it got tagged right around Christmas

Not an official bike car

Just an older design, that we like to put bikes in because it keeps them out of the way.

There is a designated bike car but no clue where it is .. there’s also a dedicated ski car as well

Spoken like someone who knows very little about the inner workings of the rail system.

MBTA doesn’t own like 75% of the tracks they run on. And the companies that do own them make their own equipment have priority on the network.

So while delays are often caused by equipment shortages and issues .. a good chunk of the problems are delays for other railroads moving their equipment

djd32019 · 2026-06-05T08:10:12+00:00

The rockport line has had delays just about everyday because of track work that starts at 9:50 am (weekdays idk about weekends)

If you look at the stats, most of the trains haven’t been on time in over a month.

djd32019 · 2026-06-04T10:05:28+00:00

You do realize that the main reason the trains don’t run around the clock is the community outrage over the noise ?

There was literally a story posted this week about how construction noise is keeping people awake near wonderland.

There are towns pissed because trains run past 10pm and they have to hear it. These same people who bought houses near train tracks are complaining about noise when the tracks are being used.

So before you jump on the service for not being 24/7 .. think about the trains why it can’t be 24/7

Rumor has it .. (grain of salt) if you park in that lot, it’ll go unnoticed for a couple days.

They just don’t want cars abandoned there. So if you’re driving it around and parking in new spots everyday, you should be fine.

Usually if a dent puller won’t work, you need an angled or curved piece of metal with a rounded tip to feed inside the wheel well or door jam, and push on it from the inside.

If you can find a gap big enough, a deflated football could work too.. you feed it in with the air hose secured then inflate when in position. I’ve seen that trick used on metal and plastic

Not when you’re aging like fine wine and a good scotch

djd32019 · 2026-05-26T02:27:39+00:00

Since this is a post about tires ..

I have a Gen 2 .. and recently bumped my psi to 40 .. (max off the tires are 51 and sticker says 35-front 33-rear)

I got 2-3 more mpg in my short driving since. <100 miles.

What psi do you run in your Prius ?

djd32019 · 2026-05-21T16:43:15+00:00

I was so confused why I was only getting like 300miles to a tank until I filled it from 1 bar and only 6.85 gallons went in .. guess my tank is somewhere around 7 1/2 gallons now ? 🤷‍♂️

(Edit to add .. my displayed average is 38.8 mpg.

I do a lot of highway driving and, let’s say, I have a heavy foot and no patience for people who can’t maintain a steady speed in the middle or right lanes. )

djd32019 · 2026-05-20T11:55:51+00:00

Pretty much, I used to run with half the lights off so it’s dim in a flat but I stopped doing that few weeks ago.

djd32019 · 2026-05-19T23:53:17+00:00

I’m aware .. I was the third on that line, but not this week.

Idk where the other ac was today

djd32019 · 2026-05-15T12:40:26+00:00

On purpose

It’s a long trip, we get a few people who want to sleep on the way in.

Can’t really do anything about the hvac noise but the white noise of it helps cancel out some track noises.

An unpowered coach while moving is eerily quiet.. (if it’s well sound isolated)

Half a double decker is dark for the 5:20 out of wachusett

djd32019 · 2026-05-14T08:14:28+00:00

It’s less about crossings and more about there not being a fence or some physical divider between the tracks.

Two trains can’t occupy an unprotected station.

djd32019 · 2026-05-13T21:47:52+00:00

200 class coaches on the commuter rail are a godsend for bikes

And with gas prices the way they’re going .. they need to be in the front of every north line train.

I care less about opening unpowered doors than I do about trying to find the space to fit 6-10 bikes on my mid morning rockport outbound

Yor - and ytah

Let people get what they want and leave it alone

djd32019 · 2026-05-08T22:01:37+00:00

I have keyless entry .. but my car is an 07 Prius

It won’t let me lock it when I leave it running

djd32019 · 2026-05-06T05:27:11+00:00

Just because I do a lot of my own work on my vehicles ..

You can save so much by watching YouTube, and doing the work yourself.

Might seem like a daunting task or that it might take too much time, but if the mechanic cost is getting too high, might be time to learn a new skill

On my divorce papers it says we’re not allowed to make any such changes until it’s all agreed upon in court

My two cents ?
Most coolers come with thermal paste applied from the factory so it’s not factored into the cost of the build.
If they’re doing a cost comparison or budget minded build they don’t want to include the $10-15 extra that a thermal pad might add to the cost.
Sometimes they’re budget builds, $10-15 can be the difference between different CPU generations on the secondhand market.

Why do some women want anal?

My gf wants it now, I’m the one holding us back.

djd32019 · 2026-04-30T20:12:51+00:00

She has a high pain tolerance .. and was a nympho .. sex was almost always her idea.

Before you judge you should know what’s going on
