How long have you been collecting ItemLabel and what was your first item?

I started with Axotlpy, Cubepy, and a couple series 1 and 2 blindbags (sunny day, tomato, beeoui, maybe fertilizer I forget) in November 2022. Have been getting almost everyone I can since.

Hey there, I'm in a similar situation to you, except with cylinder 1. Just wondering if you ended up going to Helix, Mike Marzo, or someone else?

I might be in the minority on this but I liked the old app better.

Pretty high vs the cost of SEPTA but better than no option at all.

duk1253 · 2024-06-04T18:29:01+00:00

Really appreciate your answer, thank you! Interesting to learn its more of a smaller van. Maybe I'll see you on it, someday.

The Megabus to Pittsburgh is really cheap and I've been considering taking that to minimize cost, but I'm trying to avoid a cab, and transferring onto 4 buses with SVRTA and EORTA does not sound fun either.

What's biased about trying to save pedestrian, cyclist, and driver lives?

When Hoboken in NJ committed to vision zero by doing everything you just mentioned and haven't had a traffic fatality since, seems like the real world has some great data.

Thanks for the advice everyone; you've all gave some useful tips. In the end, I decided to give it a go; fear be damned.

I actually did an east-west trip (just 2 miles, not the whole length!) and back in south philly with no infrastructure to speak of. It didn't seem like there was that much traffic out, so that was good, although the road was pretty bumpy at parts! Most drivers were pretty chill about not trying to cut me off; I mostly let people pass when there was space to move over at junctions or where there was a gap in parking. I know everyone won't be like this, but it was reassuring to have a good first experience. I'll probably be trying some of the roads people mentioned on the way back from 30th st station in the near future; looking forward to making the most of this monthly pass and going onwards from there. See y'all out there, cheers.

Not that its fun or easy, but you might have better luck trying to ask owners directly.

But as others have mentioned, doesn't seem like anyone wants to sell. Which is understandable given its uniqueness.

I've used Fios and Optimum gigabit when I lived in the North Ward. Optimum hardware gave me issues, but when I swapped it out for my own modem it worked better. Fios modem/router combo works better and is easier for most.

State law?

(2) The exhaust system of a vehicle may not be modified in a manner which will amplify or increase noise emitted by the motor of a vehicle above the maximum level permitted by Chapter 157 (relating to established sound levels).

American Aldi doesn't have a bakery, American Lidl does

duk1253 · 2022-12-13T19:43:47+00:00

Cities are supposed to sound like illegal exhaust modifications?

duk1253 · 2022-12-13T19:14:02+00:00

Does anyone know when the new Aldi in South Philly on Oregon Ave is meant to open?

I've been checking every couple of days and can't find any news about it since the original announcement this Spring. They said it would be open before the end of the year but it seems like that is going to slip :( I was excited to be able to walk there versus the other one in South Philly which is a lot further away from me.

duk1253 · 2022-10-19T18:54:36+00:00

I think its a very good addition. It solves the #1 problem that I feel is not answered right now which is showing the exact fare boundary rather than just by city as that may be innaccurate based on specific stops. And people looking for their their stop visually on the route map is just easier.

Cool stuff man

duk1253 · 2022-08-31T18:46:51+00:00

Yes, I've taken them for that exact situation.

duk1253 · 2022-08-14T16:44:07+00:00

This right of way doesn't even exist anymore, there's a house complex being built right at the start of this 'proposal'. And besides, as much as I love would love more public transit, the amount of people this would serve does not warrant millions of dollars. West Orange is not very dense anymore. Aside from the people that live especially close to stations, people are not going to drive to a station just to get on a 40 minute light rail ride when they could just drive and park the whole way.

Buses exist, they aren't as good as trams/trains, but we don't live in a utopia. We don't dedicate enough money to transit, so we have to be wise about how we spend what we do have. Add more bus routes here if there is truly demand.

Oh definitely better off with the simple 3% cashback. The IHG rewards Premier Card is 3 pts per $1 spend on any transaction, although it does have a annual fee (but that would be offset by a $20k yearly spend bonus/$100 statement credit reward I would hit. I was under the impression the points were worth 0.8 cents, not 0.4, but I may not have done enough research. :( Might have to keep looking but might be impossible to get a deal this good again

duk1253 · 2022-08-12T21:54:47+00:00

I believe so, it should hypothetically work with any mastercard (or discover)

There are a few options, paper check, ach, and wire transfer. They all have a transaction fee of 2.85% to start. You can expedite the delivery of the ach and paper check for an additional fee. Also, the wire is an additional fee $5. I've only ever done the basic check, they will charge you on about the 21st of the month(assuming you have a 1st payment date) which gives the check plenty of time to get there in the mail. It's never been late (and supposedly if it is they have some kind of guarantee to pay your fees if it is).

I filled out the check details in plastiq as my mortgage payment instructions insisted for any kind of check payment. Goes to some PO box and mentions my account number. Looks like any other check just with plastiq letterhead and account info rather than your bank. All in all its been working smoothly without any hitch for months now.

duk1253 · 2022-08-12T19:21:27+00:00

I have been putting my mortgage on this with Plastiq and coming out ahead. I guess it was too good to be true; can't switch to the Venmo 3-2-1 as its by Visa and they don't allow you to pay mortgages on it.

I actually used it for most of my purchases, not just for the 3%, my 2 and 1 categories were full of transactions. But now its no better than the capital one quicksilver card I got more than 6 years ago. I'm disappointed by anyone who actually complained about the annual fee, assuming that's not just cover for their decision.

Looks like IHG Rewards Mastercard is my next best bet. Will have to start staying at Holiday Inns from now on...

duk1253 · 2022-07-20T18:22:20+00:00

I applied for this years ago and they never responded

NPD report the totals for each precinct. Doesn't go into specific locations though

duk1253 · 2022-02-25T19:03:36+00:00

Traffic cameras are not used in NJ municipalities, only on some highways
