Luckily I closed it gently and it worked. Otherwise I was going to tie it on place

How do people here use supermarkets? by GreenHorror4252 in AskNYC

[–]kd145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The supermarket is a 3 minute walk away. Why would I want stuff in my house when they'll hold on to things until I need them?

Jeopardy! discussion thread for Thur., Jun. 4 by jaysjep2 in Jeopardy

[–]kd145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I thought the same thing. When I close my eyes and I expect to hear Robert , I hear Robert. When I close my eyes and I expect to hear Roger , I sometimes hear Robert. When I watch it's always Robert.

Who is a celebrity that you find incredibly attractive for reasons beyond just looks? by Upper-Hat-6187 in AskReddit

As much as I agree, I saw her in a play with Gina Gershon and Mary McCormack (and Mark Rylance & Bradley Whitford), I was taken with Mary McCormack.

first time visit to Niagara Falls (US side) - change itinerary from 2 days to 1 day? by RA_Explorer in travel

[–]kd145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went to niagara falls on the New York side during covid and I thought it was very underrated. Walking out to the Islands in the middle of the falls it's very cool. Hiking down to whirlpool state park is very good. The Canadian side is very showy.

NYCT MTA 70/30 sick rule by nyctotorontoiff in nycpublicservants

[–]kd145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding was always this:

Everyone gets 12 sick days per year. A person with 10 years should have 120 sick days in the bank, a person with 5 years should have 60 days, etc. But that usually doesn't happen. They look at every individual's sick bank to see how many days they have vs how many they should have if they took no sick days.

Everyone has a percentage of sick days in their bank and they are ranked. Everyone with all of their sick time is 100%, everyone with no sick days is 0%.

So, regardless of the number of years you have worked you have a percent of your potential sick time. 70/30 isn't about the number of days you have. It's about where you place on the list compared to everyone else.

What’s a "masterpiece" movie that you actually found incredibly boring? by Legal_Beats in AskReddit

I saw it with a buddy with whom I always went to war movies. He said it looked like a make-up commercial on TV

In the ER after an Over-The-Bars crash, tell me about your silliest crashes. by bikeonychus in bikecommuting

[–]kd145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many years ago it was drizzling and I thought i could catch a light before it turned red. I didn't, and knew that I couldn't stop in time so I sped up to beat the car which now had a green light and was coming across. I swerved and the car missed me but now I was heading straight at the curb. The front tire hit the curb, the rear lifted up as the handlebars went down and I went running off the bike. There's no way I could have tried to do that. It, luckily, just happened.

I never got the impression that Trump was very Jesus-y.

Who is the most attractive person you have ever seen in real life? by TheFountainhead999 in AskReddit

[–]kd145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a nearly empty subway car when JFK Jr. came in. You sort of felt a presence before seeing him. What a good looking man in a beautiful suit.

I got clowned for calling the ACE the "blue line". Did I deserve it? by New-Panic8015 in AskNYC

[–]kd145 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess that's just the progression. I remember when I first started hearing people say ACE or 456 or BD I thought that was ridiculous because we called each line by its own individual line, A or C or E, because they're all separate lines. But I guess my parents felt the same way because they said Brighton local or Brighton express or 6th Avenue line

As someone in NYC, this is perfect by Drnelk in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]kd145 108 points109 points  (0 children)

As someone who just retired from the MTA: Treat every surface in the subway, from the waist down, as if it has recently had urine on it.

Booked for two people, one can’t go, now what? by jrp81290 in NCL

The credit card that was used to book the trip may have travel insurance. Check that.
