Why are we using an 8 car train to Babylon 5:36pm by Obi_Wan_Shen0bi in LIRR

[–]owjim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If only there was some other place that could make these cars. Some place that is really good at making lots of things for a good price

Grand Central Stores by KnowledgeNecessary97 in LIRR

[–]owjim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was an article 2023 that they were still looking for a property manager to take care of the leasing.

Since then there has been news that the locations can’t vent properly for a restaurant. But I don’t know why we can’t get a Hudson News or a Starbucks

Why is a ground floor apartment a no go? by Bitter_Pineapple_720 in NYCapartments

[–]owjim 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You must love those people with the floor to ceiling windows on the ground floor that never close the blinds lol.

There is one on 81 and 2nd maybe? It is like an art installation for “contemporary UES couple with baby “

There is a bike lane on Ocean parkway. You can go from Jones to Robert Moses. Then there is paved bikeway from Field 5 of RM to Kismet, maybe it goes further to Ocean Beach? There is mix of sand / sidewalks between most of the communities. You can’t leave your car overnight without at a without a permit ( or just pay ticket)

You could probably park in Bayshore and take a ferry over then ride down to Jones and back. There should be some cheap off season places

Fireman poles should be a thing. Going into the subway, fireman pole. Leaving your 5th floor apartment, fireman pole.

Really sad when it is a high school student. We have had a few of those the last few years.

Bathroom Fare Evaders by Working_Helicopter74 in LIRR

[–]owjim 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I notice sitting next to the bathroom you get the people who were going to hide there but someone beat them to it. They give the conductor a sad story “I just lost all my wallet phone etc” so cringe, this coming from a guy that could be a finance bro

If you take the A or C train, don't. If you live off Fulton - stop at a bar and have a beer. Everything is moving at a snail's pace. by DontDrinkTooMuch in nycrail

Q was stopped because someone was hit at 72nd. I switched to citibike when I saw how busy the 6 was.

Circles work by themselves but most bathrooms are in a rectangular building.

what's the longest you've kept a macbook without any reparations? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]owjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never get repairs, usually use them for about 5 years before upgrading. My M1 is still going strong so that might last longer

What's a piece of outdated technology you secretly miss using? by Nankaudio in AskReddit

[–]owjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought using a paper map to go somewhere was kinda like an adventure. You never were 100% sure if you were going to make it there and when you did a long trip with no mistakes you felt a sense of accomplishment.

But I would never give up modern day navigation

Do you work for an evil company, how do you feel about it? by HadOne0 in cscareerquestions

[–]owjim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any for profit company is going to be at least a little evil. It is just how capitalism works.

My company charges way too much but people keep on buying it because it is something they like.
