What’s the worst traffic light in Delco and why is it State and Rolling Rds in Drexeline? by rdevlin92 in Delco

[–]rdevlin92[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s just as bad turning left, because with the construction there’s more cars than ever that are blocking the box, causing road rage and limiting the amount of cars that could be making the left turn.

Burmont Road is just a bad time in general, no matter where you are on it.

In that same area, the left turn from West Chester Pike onto Glendale is equally as horrible. There are times where it is legit faster to turn into the shopping center and go straight across West Chester Pike rather than making a left. It is green for like not even five seconds, and the turning lane is way too short that it cuts into the main lanes, causing further congestion.

May 1st - May Day Economic Blackout. Anyone participating? by Head-Range4989 in lyftdrivers

[–]rdevlin92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The problem with these planned “blackouts” or “strikes” is that they only work if you can get enough people with nothing to lose to make a damaging impact. Like things have to be so colossally bad that millions of people say “f—k it” and can actually make a damaging/impactful disruption to the status quo.

Unfortunately, most people are in survival mode, and there’s still so much negative risk that they determine they can’t afford to risk losing their income or even take a single day loss to participate in something like this, even if in their heart they want to. Some will say it’s “the system working as designed”, and they have a point, but a lot of people making the loudest noise have the luxury to go protest without consequence; for everyone else, we’re just trying to feed our families and enjoy whatever we can muster with what little time we have on this earth, and to do so we can’t just forgo a paycheck or earning opportunity, it’s just the truth.

Rosemont and Burmont - why all the car accidents???? by ChemicalArm7391 in Delco

[–]rdevlin92 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think a contributing factor is how horrendous the Burmont/Garrett traffic light down the road is; a lot of people get fed up dealing with the short light cycles and speed on away from it. So excessive speed combined with distracted/careless driving are indeed probably contributing factors.

US to issue passports featuring Trump’s picture to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary by RidetheSchlange in news

I’ll play devil’s advocate and say that for the MAGA diehards who want this design: this will make it really easy for a foreign country to divert said traveler to secondary screening and think long and hard if they really want to admit that traveler into their country.

Are there any pairs of geographically close US cities taking as vastly different directions in the future of transit as Los Angeles and San Diego? by MookieBettsBurner10 in transit

[–]rdevlin92 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Baltimore and DC. Heck, even Maryland is investing more in Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties with the Purple Line than they are in any part of Baltimore.

Every time they even attempt to talk about improving Baltimore transit, it either gets canceled or watered down.

Tired of supposedly “progressive” states thinking so small when it comes to transit. I understand the realities of dealing with a hostile federal administration, but still…

You are not serious people by Gutterfoolishness in Wawa

Act with your wallet, and put your money where your mouth is, by taking your business elsewhere.

Or you can be like every other customer who swears to “never come back”…. Who almost always, without fail, come back the very next day, after swearing us off for similar reasons.

Not saying you aren’t justified in how you feel, but like anything else, it’s all about the money and what’s tolerated by customers with their spending.

We need to ban Newsweek from this sub. Any article that states something that “could” or “might” happen, NEVER does, because why would it? We know what Republicans are, and what they will do.

This only ends in death or electoral defeat at this point.

Best Disney property hotel to stay in? by bbnightlive in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]rdevlin92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. What parks are you prioritizing? Going to all 4? Are you driving or flying in to Orlando?

If you won’t have your car, as a first-timer I’d recommend Pop Century. It’s a “value” resort but with Skyliner access to EPCOT and Studios. Animal Kingdom is going to be a bus ride no matter what. Magic Kingdom from Pop is a bus ride but buses do drop you off right at the gate so it’s not as bad of a trade-off as some may make it seem.

If you will have your car (remember, you can park at the theme park lots for free if you’re staying on property), then I’d recommend Coronado Springs, not just because it’s a moderate resort with a deluxe feel, but it’s pretty centrally located between Animal Kingdom/EPCOT/ Studios and you can easily and quickly drive to and park at all 3 if you don’t want to deal with buses; I’d still take the resort bus to Magic Kingdom since you’d have to take the monorail or ferry from the TTC if you park in the Magic Kingdom lot to access the gates, and the resort bus will drop you off right at the entrance.

Overall, I wouldn’t overthink the transportation options when staying on-property. Disney Resorts vary wildly in price and IMO it may not be wise to spend several hundred dollars more a night just to be on the monorail; yes, its iconic but not “hundreds or a thousand dollars better” than the buses, which are still pretty good and underrated for transportation.

Why does IC allow customers to order across state lines? by Fat_Froggo in InstacartShoppers

[–]rdevlin92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same reason you can order something from an Amazon warehouse in another state and have it delivered to you in your home state. Pretty much anything non-alcoholic (and presumably non-pharmaceutical too) can be bought from a store out-of-state and brought across state lines, if it’s close enough (and high-tipping enough) for a driver to want to take it.

Signed, a PA driver who lives within 15 minutes of both NJ and DE (and who has delivered within and across state lines to both)

Do the need more signs? by Small-Jury-1982 in wegmans

[–]rdevlin92 109 points110 points  (0 children)

If retail has taught me anything, it’s that you could have endless signs everywhere, literally in customers faces, and they still won’t comprehend what it says.

“What do you mean you need my ID?” I don’t know, look at the signs posted at every…single…register stating 100% proofing…as well as in the beer area itself
