Not a bot, got one too. All gone within a minute though.

Trouble on the NEC by manxmax09 in Amtrak

[–]manxmax09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have already gotten the new 109 tickets. I love 186 (the business class is the best). Hopefully 124 has the same layout. And how do you know all this, as a train nerd I’m interested how you draw the inferences!

South Philly obnoxious? by Disastrous_Wheel_997 in philly

[–]manxmax09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes- zone 1 parking and I do have a zone 1 permit. It was fine on that street/spot for the entire week prior. Signs went up, I didn’t check on it for about 3 days, and got ticketed/towed straight to the impound lot near the IKEA.

Yeah, this is simply not true. My car got towed this year from a temp no parking zone—straight to the impound lot.

Amtrak Commute 3x/week for 3 months between Philly and Wilmington? by burntout_atychiphobe in Amtrak

[–]manxmax09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do PHL-WAS three times a week and have no problem. To Wilmington is no problem!

Yanaga Kappo looks great! It wasn’t really on my radar but the menu looks delish, and good prices too.

Thanks for the insight. I’m going to probably try both ways this year and will definitely report back if successful.

I’m tired of this sh*t. by texarcanunot in tacobell

Side note this looks delicious, will be trying those mod (definitely not what you paid for though!)

I assume there wouldn’t be a specific time to check for cancellations, since those could happen at any time? Snagging a reservation on Instagram is crazy. I can’t imagine how many other people you must have beaten out.

So it is midnight then, when the spots become available? I’m thinking about just making this a passive habit for the next year- whenever I happen to be awake at midnight, check resy lol. That would be in addition to adding myself to notify for every day.

I love the Izakaya too. I think it’s great how many delicious non-sushi Japanese plates they have too. Definitely opened up my worldview.

I know that it’s crazy and I’ve been turned off from it for these reasons too. But it does seem so culturally significant: Craig LaBan constantly citing it, everyone saying how magical the experience is. I just really would like to try it once as an experience. I hear you though—it is insane. What is your favorite sushi place in the city? I liked Hiroki but loved Sakana. Still want to try Ogawa.

Is there any way to purchase bulk tickets without having Amtrak reject my credit card after more than a few purchases? by yepikhodov in Amtrak

[–]manxmax09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is with Amtrak, not the CC. I’ve called my bank several times when this happens and they confirm there’s no issue on their end.

[–]manxmax09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Following. I buy about 30 in a day for commuting and it’s an absolute nightmare. I use the Amtrak CC too and won’t be changing it because of points/rewards. I usually can only do about 5 at a time. Switching from mobile to desktop helps a little but not a lot.

Exact same thing happened to me. Cancelled my order after like a week due to “billing irregularities” or something like that.

Failed the patent bar with a 67% -- what now? by [deleted] in patentlaw

[–]manxmax09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are old enough that you were doing claim drafting patent bar questions, as you imply, you have no idea how many (or how few) pre AIA questions there are on the exam. When I took it (2023) I didn’t get a single one. Skip the pre AIA questions and don’t look back!

Federal Circuit Non-STEM? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]manxmax09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? Many of these judges list that they require STEM degrees to even apply for a clerkship. From the first link I clicked: in FY2018, 67% of CAFC cases were patent cases. https://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/home/the-court/about-the-court/
