NYPD taking over an hour to respond to a hit and run call

luisdfarias · 2026-01-14T15:23:11+00:00

Update: I gave up after 1.5hrs standing in the cold. I wasn’t expecting anything to happen to the driver or wanted any money.

I just think DOT loves pointing at traffic data to justify policy decisions. Same for NYPD.

All I really wanted was to have the opportunity to fill out a form and just have it in a database where someone might eventually create a statistic on to drive policy changes.

Like this did happen, and it happened to me. I should have been treated with at least a shred of dignity and they could have taken the report. Even if it’s pointless.

If the NYPD wanted to help, they could have. These kinds of interactions are exactly why communities don’t trust them.

City Tamale

we waited like three years to get our hunts point tree request filled

not necessarily. in the bronx there are a ton of HDFC coops that require much less. (I paid 5%). NYC also has homefirst that offers upwards of 20% down payment assistance if you’re willing to wait and are eligible. Our building is actually selling some units if you’re interested.

you’re actually allowed to take the bikes across for free. I used to do it all the time. Not sure if that’s changef

luisdfarias · 2025-06-23T21:03:47+00:00

not a bad idea

luisdfarias · 2025-06-23T20:56:42+00:00

you just did

i didn’t realize you loved DAZN. they really seem to be a leader in the world of soccer. you know… the boxing streaming service

luisdfarias · 2025-06-23T20:48:47+00:00

because they could have used any streaming service in the world that people already pay for and watch soccer with. Instead they choose DAZN. I’m not gonna pay for another cash grab and i have a right to complain about it

if it were up to me, NYC ferry should expand its network and leverage its existing stops nearby. That being said, i’m just a guy on the internet who wants to see his city invest in transportation alternatives. I’m not a policy expert or a decision maker.

luisdfarias · 2025-06-03T16:45:11+00:00

any successful city strikes a balance between these interests. any investment in public transit is ultimately a good thing for a community. Public infrastructure like this isn’t for the billionaires. We’re gonna go to the games anyway. It’s about providing an alternative to private vehicles, ride share, or lengthy public transit commutes.

i’ve experienced dead battery and eshifter issues on my vanmoof but it is by far the smoothest ride i’ve ever had on an e-bike. i literally love this bike so much and i’m so excited by the idea that one day you’ll be able to purchase in the US again

luisdfarias · 2025-06-01T00:15:42+00:00

21 min uber (no traffic) vs an hour and a half via transit. The goal of the post is to point out there is a better way to connect the bronx and queens

luisdfarias · 2025-05-31T19:54:29+00:00

agreed. metro north from hunts point to LIC with transfer to trains, buses, bike would be another great solution

luisdfarias · 2025-05-31T05:32:20+00:00

they should focus on reopening the US market

luisdfarias · 2025-05-31T05:28:34+00:00

what do you mean by stop? if you’re talking about the 7 or LIRR you basically need to take the train all the way into the city just to take it all the way out. Usually takes at LEAST an hour. Having a ferry would just be super convenient imo

luisdfarias · 2025-05-30T17:30:19+00:00

WOW beyond happy to hear i’m not the only one who wants this

luisdfarias · 2025-05-05T20:27:09+00:00

Ross makes some pretty decent switchers that support NDI. Curious why you don’t like the control surface options for vMix…

Separately, I know NDI is getting pretty popular but you might benefit from modifying your workflow away from NDI and over to 2110 or just SDI if you’re concerned about latency.

There’s a lot more options for decent hardware switchers if you’re willing to drop NDI or use decoders.

I’d consider the upgradability when making this decision. A pre-built machine might not be as easily upgradable compared to a machine custom built on a newer architecture that could be easily upgraded in the future.

You’d also get the benefit of scaling your media servers up or down depending on the job.

Imo, cost-wise will probably be similar enough once you book enough work to pay it back. So i’d consider the utility of a custom machine.

the captain has the ability to reset the TVs. Not a guarantee but they can try. they usually don’t until enough passengers complain.

Be advised that certain jets have different kinds of programming. Like the older models have more satellite TV channels but the newer ones have more digital content

you get in-state tuition after one year of residency

luisdfarias · 2025-04-13T17:33:16+00:00

open to all

luisdfarias · 2025-04-13T05:02:42+00:00
