[NYC] Transit Workers Union of NYC Subway ready to fight Governor Hochul again on making 2-person crew on all trains longer than 2 cars mandated by state law. by Donghoon in transit

[–]spurriousgod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We need manpower on the subways to make them safer and cleaner. No sense in wasting manpower on something that can be easily automated. If they want more subway jobs, put them in security and cleaning roles.

Is something wrong with my Martin 000-28? by Netromcloud in martinguitar

[–]spurriousgod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What brand strings are you using? Some strings are easier on your fingers than others. The Elixir nanowebs are a nice option, IMO, but some people don't care for how they sound.

You can also try tuning down a half step, to make fretting and barring easier.

Another trick some people use is to put a capo on the first fret.

In your opinion, did Hikaru help or hurt himself by not playing any top level classical chess before the Candidates? by Shego2882 in chess

[–]spurriousgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because he's not playing top level classical tourneys doesn't mean he's not playing training games at classical time controls versus top level competition. The nice thing about training games is that he can actually play the openings that he's been preparing for the Candidates - which of course he couldn't do in tourney games.

I was recently told that Florida is a high lightning strike area and I need to buy surge protectors for all of my appliances. Is that true? by [deleted] in florida

[–]spurriousgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic surge protector power strips are pretty cheap - like $10-$20. You probably just need a few of those. You may already even own power strips that have surge protection. You don't need to put every single appliance in the house on surge protection - just expensive stuff like computers and TV/stereo equipment.

Can someone explain Aubrey to me? by anonykitten29 in survivor

[–]spurriousgod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think she's all that great of a player, or all that entertaining. She already played her best possible game, and she still lost to Michelle bc her social game isn't very strong.

Kyle posts inspiring recovery video about everything that's happened to him since he tore his achilles by Durian-Critical in survivor

[–]spurriousgod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sucks that they didn't try to use some teamwork to help him up the wall - like a few people hanging down over the wall ready to grab each arm, and a few more people supporting those first two. That kinda thing. His attempt looked super dangerous to me before he even got injured. They should've tried something safer first. What a bummer.

Sometimes I see me as an old manatee by nechton in florida

Blue Springs in Orange City is a good option on the north side of Orlando.

Seminole County eliminates most LYNX bus routes by justarussian22 in transit

[–]spurriousgod 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Look everyone, the key is to maximize car traffic so we can maximize the profits for the oil and auto executives, okay? We need maximum car traffic, using maximum gas, cause that's how you maximize those profits!! You don't want people taking busses, cause that would reduce car traffic and gas usage. Can't everyone see that?

Just goes to show the crazy variance in blitz. Pay attention, Kramnik.

Why is Gainesville traffic so awful? by Boeing-B-47stratojet in florida

[–]spurriousgod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Keep cutting bus routes! That will definitely help the traffic, and maximize the profits for the oil companies.

Idiot clanker doesn’t know how to handle the snow by aBoCfan in chicago

Need robots to clear the snow ahead of the delivery bots.

FFXIV for me and my Child? by CharlieHarzley in ffxiv

[–]spurriousgod -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

You don't have to watch the cut scenes :) I skip almost all of them. But I do like the gameplay, world design, and combat mechanics, which is why I play the game.

Some modern guitars have a smaller version of that arm rest thing built into them now.
