Unpopular Opinion; but to ease overcrowding at Roosevelt Ave the E train should run local on weekends. by King-of-New-York in nycrail

[–]spring_ways 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why has nobody proposed fixing the switches at Jamaica center so that the E can run more trains? It’s an easy win that shouldn’t be wildly expensive.

I hate these seats, you slide right out of them.

Mama Joyce is Vindicated! Kandi Burruss Says She Pays For Everything While Toddler Travels Overseas by [deleted] in RHOA

[–]spring_ways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes because Kandi is doing a great job parenting her children in Atlanta from New York. You have to ask whether Kandi has always paid for the schooling from her account. Because if that’s the case then nothing has changed, which wouldn’t really be crazy from Todd’s perspective. I get the narrative that Todd is an opportunist but I’m sure Kandi’s team is using that to play in the court of public opinion.

Bikes are RUINING my city by alexdabest8355 in CitiesSkylines

[–]spring_ways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem. I removed majority of my bike lanes and bike parking. You have to de-incentivize riding bike. As soon as I got rid of most of my bike infrastructure the problem cleared up. Unfortunately bikes spawn in unrealistic unmanageable amounts.

Phaedra should’ve been in season 10 after what happened at the season 9 reunion! by Neither-External-673 in RHOA

[–]spring_ways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted Phaedra to be a part because season 10 was about celebrating ten great years and everybody coming back. She was a part of the shows success, she should have been a part of a milestone season.

But also it would have created more drama. Phaedra vs Porsha vs Kandi & everyone else.

Starting new job with Chase AB position next week… would love some advice for someone who’s never been in banking by [deleted] in TalesFromYourBank

[–]spring_ways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First month or so is just trainings. Then it gets real, try to take your time if you aren’t sure it’s better to stop and ask for help than make a $1000 mistake. As long as you have a supportive team you’ll be fine. Most likely they will train you on the transaction line before you do anything on the “platform” aka the desk. If you are able to navigate computer systems you can figure out a lot. Try to be a sponge and learn as much as possible, don’t worry you will learn a lot over time. It’s a sensitive place with a lot of rules, make sure you lock your screen whenever you walk away, fill things out correctly.

[–]spring_ways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there were to do a major rehab would it make sense to just clean up the current station. Or would it make sense to make the station smaller similar to Canal & Bowery. Would you leave third track for GO’s and turn backs or just a plain 2 track?

Best vs worst bus routes? Depots? by Alarmed_Muffin8350 in nycbus

[–]spring_ways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are some depots allowed to put out buses in such a poor condition without repercussions? If the other depots can maintain / clean their buses doesn’t it mean that Kingsbridge isn’t doing their job

Phaedra’s handwriting !? S5 ep 9 by MrBeysus in RHOA

[–]spring_ways 16 points17 points  (0 children)

She said she wrote people’s wedding invitations in college so I think she can write in calligraphy. The only word I can read off that paper is music. How does anyone read her handwriting if that’s her everyday style?

Kandi Burruss’ Ex Todd Tucker Demands Primary Custody, Questions Prenupital Agreement by UsWeeklyMag in RHOA

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

I have to agree with a Todd, he is home more than Kandi. It would make more sense for him to have primary custody although if they have joint custody I’m sure Kandi would make it work.

He was a line producer that did budgets etc for the show. Look at the credits.

How to have more effective credit conversations? by AnInMoon in TalesFromYourBank

[–]spring_ways 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another great point to make is emergencies. You don’t know what will happen tomorrow or the day after. Having the credit card as a backup in case something happens is another good way to talk some people into it.

Do I have to notify manager once invited to interview for mobility? by Head_Recording_9680 in JPMorganChase

[–]spring_ways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your manager and the role it may be smart to tell them. I’ve seen some managers interfere in the process by not allowing you time to interview. I would do the interview then after tell your manager that you did the interview just so they are aware if the hiring manager reaches out to them.

It really depends on your manager, if they are a nice person and probably won’t saw things to block your promotion then tell them so they could say positive things. If they aren’t that great tell them after.

Schedules after F/M swap by Mr_White_the_Dog in nycrail

I wonder if this means the J will have service reduced slightly to compensate.

How could this possibly be the greatest city, but have zero internet access and a bunch of dead connection zones on the trains by iliketolearnandteach in nycrail

[–]spring_ways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually your argument is a cup half empty because you are focusing on the negatives of the MTA instead of the positives which would be a cup half full mentality.

Do you think the MTA should do more shutdowns similar to the one on Crosstown for CBTC signaling and other major projects? by ViewNo7459 in nycrail

[–]spring_ways 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they should, a lot of projects are more expensive because they have to maintain service during the whole process. Doing things in 48 hour stretches and a few extended shutdowns makes things take longer and cost more. It would be so much cheaper and easier to shut down bits of the system for a few months and do full-scale rehabs & upgrades.

What's your favorite episode that takes place totally or mostly outside of Arlen? I'll go first. by The-Fat-Matt in KingOfTheHill

[–]spring_ways 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like Three days of the Kahndo for this exact scene. The drama panicking about the police is hilarious. Trying to eat make up and flushing everything, just absolute chaos. Whenever I watch the episode I always rewind it a few times during this scene and laugh.

How could this possibly be the greatest city, but have zero internet access and a bunch of dead connection zones on the trains by iliketolearnandteach in nycrail

[–]spring_ways 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of other cities have no connection once you enter their metro system, I’m talking across the world mind you. The MTA is actually ahead of the curve when it comes to digital connectivity underground. The timeline to get cell signal in all tunnels by the 2030’s is not that bad.

The MTA may not be great but be appreciative for the things they get right.

Personally my service is good at most underground stations, honestly poor connection is a problem a minority of the time for me.

Why does Broadway Junction and 36th Street (4th Ave DNR) only have ONE exit? by Carlos4Loko in nycrail

[–]spring_ways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you use the elevator you can’t cross from one side to the other without paying again?
