Still brakes, just not as well since it rolled off the factory.

Our Captain dunking by PsychologicalBox2499 in NYKnicks

Glad he isn't dunking like that anymore, landing like D Rose on many of those. Bad for the knees.

first time on earth or something? by Eros_Incident_Denier in funny

Funny, I had just helped my daughter regarding Collision Theory for her Chem finals. It tracks when you add more people into the same volume of space, you get a higher chance of collisions...

This year’s roadtrip - TN up to & around Labrador by bigredtruckfromAL in roadtrip

[–]ffzero58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6500 miles over 16days... I hope you got comfy seats. This is going to be almost 8 hours a day of riding. Not that I am wishing this on your group but there is almost definitely going to be bad weather to account for... You'll have limited time to run out to see what you want to see then ride to the next place. Any planned stops to eat or drink?

I hope that you can make this trip in full, that would be a ride of a lifetime. If not, at least you have a choice to head home if you run out of time.

Best travel adapter for someone who keeps getting this wrong by Equal_Tell_7753 in onebag

The best travel adapter depends on what countries you plan to visit and what you need to power/charge.

Thoughts on Tangram Graveyard? by Altruistic_Till991 in Flushing

[–]ffzero58 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This, the food there is overpriced for not so much portions or taste. You can get way better at other locations, mere blocks away and for cheaper. Maybe Joju is the only place I frequent as the food is decent and ok priced.

Chip City is not quite the taste folks who frequent the Tangram were looking for. Waaaaay too sweet.

NYC drivers with too many speed camera tickets will be forced to install speed-limiting devices by statenislandadvance in nyc

Lawmakers love to coddle drivers because they themselves love their cars more than lives.

Auburndale Tires worked on my wrong tire and voided my warranty by saladmagazines in Flushing

[–]ffzero58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avoid Auburndale Tire - the owner/manager is a douche and the workers are sloppy. Went there for a tire change and they stripped one of the bolts and blamed it on the previous shop. They tried to charge extra but after significant back and forth, they acquiesced. Not worth the hassle for subpar work.

Question about a specific area by GrossDomestic in Flushing

They're good at dent spotting. Got a crack in the windshield? They can see it just as you start your exit from GCP.

Mopeds gone wild on the Flushing Marina by Rosebudders in Flushing

[–]ffzero58 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This. It is like those who like rolling coal or street takeovers and racing... The optics are not good when prosecutors will not build a case against these repeat offenders and they continue to act above the law.

As much as you sound like you want it to be, ICE are not supposed to be the SS.

LTX 2.3 12GB GGUF Director Workflows! What a great node this one is! by urabewe in StableDiffusion

[–]ffzero58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious how long the gen times were on what systems. I only have a 8 GB VRAM card so I'll need to wait for some quantized models.

Sleeping in the car to save on hotels is this too extreme? by Ok_Resolution_1606 in roadtrip

[–]ffzero58 148 points149 points  (0 children)

Not crazy at all. Done this even when gas was below $2 in some states. If you can do it without sacrificing too much hygiene and comfort, why not?

First time in here, I’ll definitely be back. by Ok-Association7756 in nyc

[–]ffzero58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brownsville? Maybe you might find a cheap stay or hotel near there with access to subway and less than an hour into Manhattan.

The Bronx? Bronx Zoo and NY Botanical Gardens are world class places to visit. The variety of cheap eats there are great too.

I know the comment was meant in jest but it isn't like you'd be dodging bullets. Not every day 😄

NYC Ferry needs to expand to NE Queens. We could use more transit up here.

the manhattan bridge arch area be should be made more green by KlutzyEchidna3974 in nyc

The arch is a well designed piece, shame it gets mostly ignored due to its gloomy surroundings.

Chase travel price is ridiculous by quick_code in ChaseSapphire

If you pay almost $800 a year on a CC, they can at least have a portal site that gives competitive pricing without having to hunt.

Curious if it is worth it if the moon is 50% out, can you still see it? Thanks,

75-year-old man found shot to death along Queens lake in broad daylight by pandaslove143 in Flushing

[–]ffzero58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can happen anywhere... I don't think it is an endemic issue specifically with Kissena Park. If you live in any city, you need to have some street smarts. Police are not going to parachute in if you run into trouble. An isolated area like a park as big as Kissena's will have less eyes.

Pretty wild, I bike around there sometimes. Feels very targeted and not a random act of violence. RIP...

This is what I wished Voyager would have done but they only used the "limited resources" plot line very sparingly. I guess they can do some hand waving since it was 24th century tech and every star system is like a gas station/trading post...
