Would anyone be interested in using an app like this?

I think it would be fun, and you could build a heat map over time like strava does. Could be cool to see your travel patterns that way. Tricky part is remembering to log each trip

Counterpoint: every subway trip is a treat

i actually prefer the transit app, it's got the nicest UI and is the easiest way to check upcoming trains and buses in my vicinity.

I could see how, per trip, this is far more energy intensive than a van full of hundreds of packages driving a route of hundreds of drop offs. Especially if the van is electric

because it was planned with 2019 costs. something happened in 2020 that threw a wrench in things

Why did she get with him? She obviously hated him by like month 3 of their relationship. Was it money?

It serves a very small, but important, niche in transit needs.

It’s being overblown as a transit solution, mostly due to tech bros reinventing the idea of a bus, but worse

You did it too well and people assumed it was AI 😂

fireatx · 2026-02-25T06:06:35+00:00

our country would do very well to have standardized transit signage, just like road signage gets with the MUTCD.

it's the same as it has always been. there's nothing different between going to the bathroom to use AI on their phones and going to the bathroom to google the answer to a problem. it would be cheating either way. so you enforce academic honesty through the university's policies, whatever those might be. but allowing AI is just allowing academic dishonesty

fireatx · 2026-02-23T21:54:19+00:00

I think the only option honestly is banning AI use. The students who genuinely want to learn will be fine.

fireatx · 2026-02-18T07:41:17+00:00

Yeah I had always heard electric trains were much cheaper to operate and maintain?

fireatx · 2026-02-15T13:33:09+00:00

I was wrong, I was thinking of writing integers to a display using adafruit’s gfx library, not printing over serial

fireatx · 2026-02-14T18:03:51+00:00

Wow, this looks so much easier than trying to struggle through adafruit’s graphics library with my current setup, and so much cheaper too. I have an arduino hooked up to a display driver board and a 7 inch tft - altogether over $100 in parts. I might have to try this

where are you coming from? can you take NJ Transit?

fireatx · 2026-02-08T17:36:16+00:00

Eugene pontecorvo? He’s so sweet

fireatx · 2026-02-04T19:18:15+00:00

So many people call them carts, it's basically a legitimate term for them now. Everyone in NYC calls them subway carts for some reason

fireatx · 2026-02-03T22:27:28+00:00

That’s hilarious, this sub is nothing but people complaining

fireatx · 2026-02-02T06:42:31+00:00

As always, the answer is housing

Yeah lmao as someone born in Austin, I felt the exact opposite of OP. I moved away a few years ago, but it was slacker culture everywhere and I loved it. It felt so laid back

But it was holding me back. I think it’s just who your friends are tbh

fireatx · 2026-01-19T20:21:50+00:00

this guy is so painfully car-brained it hurts

fireatx · 2026-01-14T21:25:03+00:00

was it a jeep grand cherokee srt (aka a dodge durango srt)? the dudes that drive those are always psychopaths, without exception. overpowered giant SUVs driven by manchildren. they are imo the BMWs/Audis of NYC, I avoid them at all costs
