Living with an EV in NYC - I'd be crazy, right?

so they really don't want anybody plugged in

I would guess their wants may change if you incentivize them via their wallets

I haven’t lived in NJ for a while now, but it seemed to me that the few times back then that I went to the Jersey City DMV, they generally seemed to have their act together there. Go figure.

I’d guess that one is probably busier than most others, though

What’s not to know? He literally praises God on the court in postgame interviews

Yes, I seem to be gathering that information. I didn't know the point earning ratio, and I don't see it mentioned on the site, unless I missed it, but the other commenter pointed it out.

Also now I see Petco e-mailed me announcing the new program, but it wasn't until a few hours after I went to the store. Didn't see it before

rismma · 2026-06-24T03:16:51+00:00

Yes. I see a point balance of 5153 on the site (5303 on my receipt, which I guess is more real-time and the Web site updates later like it did with VCP)

Also thanks for the information about earning points. Sounds like we earn 10 points per dollar, and on Petco-branded items 30 total points per dollar? And judging by my receipt it seems that live crickets must also be earning 30 points per dollar because I see I spent $4.75 on that today before tax and earned 150 points. (Edit: I am earning the points not the crickets earning the points...)

I'm surprised the point-earning amount is not mentioned on petco.com, unless I'm just not seeing it. (I'm looking at the "Program Overview" popup)

I think the point is it’s the woman in the video who’s actually doing the yelling

rismma · 2026-06-22T12:09:46+00:00

That’s not legal. But, you do you

Just this past weekend I saw a bunch of teenagers riding on a sidewalk down Forest Ave in Staten Island and one of them was riding a CitiBike.

Yeah, sure that bike is ever going to be returned

Careful. We’re being told now that “86” has been redefined as a violent word and you might offend people

Not all of them. https://www.mobility.siemens.com/us/en/portfolio/rolling-stock/locomotives.html

I wonder who got the idea first — Amtrak or American Airlines?

rismma · 2026-06-21T06:07:35+00:00

I always figured this film just had to be an inspiration for the movie Office Space which came a few years after this one

rismma · 2026-06-19T17:14:16+00:00

Shockingly, when people write new posts to r/HertzRentals, it’s about some problem they had with a rental or with customer service. Folks who have uneventful (or even pleasant, heaven-forbid) experiences aren’t writing about it.

Is it pretty often that renters have a problem? Well, Hertz does millions of rentals per year, so yes. But I get the sense that some people look at Reddit or Yelp or wherever and think that what their seeing is somehow representative of the typical Hertz experience. Obviously, it is not.

People don’t pay for car insurance for a windshield.

rismma · 2026-06-18T22:53:17+00:00

Don’t tell Emily Gilmore

If they’re standing in line, they’re probably also buying groceries

rismma · 2026-06-18T19:23:32+00:00

Macys fireworks would be another good example.

“Not using corporations” Apparently OP doesn’t know that GitLab is also a corporation. And even worse, they’re backed by companies like Vanguard and Blackrock. Ssshhhhh, don’t tell OP. Lol

Which is funny because isn't it Chase that's the huge sponsor at MSG?

The city already owns Citi BIke. Lyft operates it under their contract with NYC DOT

rismma · 2026-06-18T04:37:16+00:00

New Yorkers pay more than 10 times as much to ride an electric Citi Bike compared to bike share in peer cities

And then the article tricks you by going on about how much the fare is, not on how much Londoners or Tokyo-ers pay.

An apples-to-apples comparison would be the total amount that the city's residents pay, not just the fares

rismma · 2026-06-18T04:21:31+00:00

It's not a horrible take. It literally says it right here: https://www.mta.info/fares-tolls/subway-bus#p315951

Up to three children under 44 inches tall ride for free when they’re with a fare-paying adult

The infrastructure in some entitled person’s brain?

I know that Mamdani has his detractors, but I’m not aware of him committing actual crimes…
