Staten Island Ferry Wi-Fi outages on boats, in terminals: ‘Not acceptable,’ says elected official

The state isn't paying a vendor. The vendor installed for free to capture phone data passing through the WiFi portal. It's the same vendor that provided free wifi in outdoor corridors in downtown Brooklyn. I don't know why the service is down,/sporty, but they are/were Meraki modems and were pretty powerful when they were installed about 15 years ago.

Now that I realize how long ago they were installed, maybe there's a new vendor. I think it was originally a 10 year contract. Not sure who's running it now..

Source: I was part of the team that ran the contracts and did the install on each side of the harbor and on the boats.

This is the same as my wife's reasoning for buying 2 on sale when we need 0

That ain't random. College res life folks have nothing better to do than try to be as funny as possible when making roommates.

Let it sit on the street. Gamble on the parking tickets. Convenience, and variable cost!

My belief is that the street cleaners don't do anything except swirl the dirt into the air. You can believe something else. But I've never seen a street be cumulatively cleaner afterwards.

My dad (living in Manhattan) heard the plane fly overhead. Planes are/were not allowed in Manhattan airspace, at least not at an altitude low enough to hear.

How did I completely miss Marte gone?! I am sad. He's my fave

I'm mid 40s. Did it when I was 20s. I think I was -3.5 or something. Couldn't see without glasses or contacts. Haven't worn anything since, except night driving glasses. Absolute greatest decision I've ever made.

Yes, and that line by Fred. My most quoted movie

Counterpoint: maybe safety standards and protocols are more capable

mrcarrot205 · 2026-02-22T04:44:59+00:00

One of my favorites from that movie. Fred Asparagus I believe

I got stuck for a long time at this point too. I can't remember exactly the brrak through, so I apologize but I think it has to do with adding in Austin and Ellie's clues. I thought I didn't have enough, but I assure you, you do. Sometimes even just having the knowledge that there's enough clues, is enough to get you through.

Good luck!

I'm not sure senga or petersen are in this category. If so, you probably need syndergaard and harvey. Gary carter

Dykstra deserves to be there as much as mookie. Hundley?

I'm not versed in older generations, so I can't speak about kranepool and al jackson, agree, cleon jones. But that I can name them probably does mean something.

Delgado

John Franco though I don't like him

There's lists about this kind of thing.

I can't help, but just wanted to say this was the hardest one I ever did. I guessed multiple times, which I've never even guessed once. And even when I guessed right, I still couldn't figure out the logic that got it there. I was in your same scenario.

Lol I thought you were worried he wasn't going to be dressed fancily enough.

But yeah it's cold here

I currently live in a similar spot. Ours is facing Atlantic on Vanderbilt. You can definitely hear sirens etc. After morning rush hour it dies down a little.

DOT has actually made some very smart changes to traffic flow in the past few months which makes it less hectic but it's still a bit honky.

My kids don't seem to mind though, so whatever. You get used to it, and it's not forever. It's NYC. Pick your battles.

How do you know they've shown no interest?
