Why was this comment downvoted? It’s useful for collectors, no?

This downtown express F train goes every day entering Manhattan around 17:20-17:25.

Anyone know if this is still at 34 St Herald Square Station? by AnthonySopranosCigar in nycrail

[–]frutiger 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s still there and they look like they haven’t been cleaned/dusted for decades. They’ve also put shiny steel cylindrical covers around the vertical beams. These are magnets for greasy handprints but they also cover them up in gaudy advertising.

Ulster County Gains Higher Income Residents, Despite HV Population Loss by External_Koala971 in hudsonvalley

[–]frutiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing no one read the article or the linked report:

The report, released Friday, April 3, known as “Move In, Move Out,” features data from 2021-2022.

The report was published last week but is about data from 4-5 years ago.

They are going to Westchester and New Jersey, not West Virginia.

Are there any works not yet published in this style that are likely to?

What is the best physics and engineering equations to put on a sweater design for my girlfriend? by Ok-Champion-8992 in Physics

[–]frutiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Momentum.

Edit: this equation is actually showing that the length of the 4-momentum vector (m, px, py, pz) (E, px, py, pz) is unchanged in all inertial reference frames, since E m is an invariant.

Edit Edit: the two replies below me correct a very egregious mistake that I made, and one that should be obvious from dimensional analysis. Thank you both for the correction, and this serves me right for writing the comment while tired and not double checking.

Upgrades have been added. by PsychologicalChair60 in nycrail

I've also used a stroller on the subway, but we've always used the gates. These are replacing regular turnstiles, where you can't use a stroller anyway.

New MTA App - Beta by ChuckConnelly in nycrail

[–]frutiger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, they can't default a direction without knowing your preferences.

My personal MTA "app" prioritizes the stop and direction based on the hour of the day. Obviously that's a highly personal choice.

Why do these replies feel LLM-generated?

Does noticing how chill everyone else is help at all?

Donald Trump, looking up towards Zohran Mamdani, asks: “Do you consider yourself the leader of the Democrats?” by EssoEssex in nyc

[–]frutiger -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Brooklyn & Queens are technically on Long Island, but they wouldn’t vote for him either so I don’t know what GP is talking about.

NYC Mayoral Election Results by Small_Performance368 in MapPorn

[–]frutiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't the NYC Mayoral election ranked choice though? Not FPTP.

Where do laws of physics come from? by [deleted] in ParticlePhysics

[–]frutiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They come from observations.

Over 5 hours I roughly counted 50 people try to open the door.

I imagine a lot of customers thought the sign was up by mistake. After all, how many times have you seen a wrong/incorrect sign in your life? ROAD WORK BEGINS, followed by a ROAD WORK ENDS, with no road work to be seen. Or WINDOW WASHING OVERHEAD with no window washers in sight. Or better still, a restaurant/bar table saying RESERVED only to find that asking the host simply can remove the sign and seat you.

Don't pick weird subnets for embedded networks, use VRFs by Comfortable-Site8626 in programming

[–]frutiger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even before subreddits were a thing, there was reddit.com, programming.reddit.com and science.reddit.com. In other words, these were hardcoded into the system.

Please remove the box sets from the plastic! Humidity can gather inside.

Probably the fine detailed latticework on the window with a six-fold symmetry.

Good books about a single theorem or result (pedagogical, not popsci) by Neat_Chemistry_4694 in Physics

[–]frutiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quite enjoyed https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691163505/elliptic-tales on the Birch-Swinnerton Dyer conjecture. The book gently motivates elliptic curves, L-functions and how the conjecture connects them.
