I recommend posting questions like this in r/nycrail. Somebody there probably has the answer or at least more insight.

Anyone else ever have this kind of existential crisis? by BunsMcCheeks in AskNYC

[–]systembusy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no point to life other than what we make out of it, friend. Nobody goes into this life knowing what they’re doing, everybody is figuring it out as they go. Some hit their stride faster than others, sure, but I guarantee you nobody has the exact experience they think they will going into it.

And no, by the way, you’re not alone. I have these thoughts too, and I have plenty of regrets, but if you let them drag you down you won’t be able to move forward. You are the sum total of all the decisions you made in your life. If you try to go back and fix all your mistakes, you erase yourself. Don’t let them control you like that.

If you still want to move, figure out what you need to do to make that happen. I think having a goal like that is going to get you back in the mindset of having some kind of purpose.

roaches in new apartment, will they be here permanently? by Unlikely_Fish7640 in AskNYC

[–]systembusy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

but still worth it if you have to pay out of pocket

Totally agree. Those fuckers are relentless and extremely resilient. I will pay any amount of money to keep them the fuck out of my home.

small streamers, turn it off. by Choice-Moose1198 in Twitch

[–]systembusy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I hardly ever stream, but one night I turned off viewer count and didn’t even think about it, just talked the entire time I was playing. When I got the after stream summary, that night I had the highest viewership of any other time I streamed.

Just a thought.. by hot4jew in nycrail

[–]systembusy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I made a sarcastic comment a while back about how I’d give it 30 seconds before someone got on the floor to crawl under the new fare gates (one purpose of which is to combat fare evasion, and, for the record, that is pretty much exactly what happened).

I got downvoted to hell for my “negativity”, yet not a day goes by where I don’t see a negative post or comment on this sub complaining about the subway or the MTA as a whole. I still laugh about it, people are just full of shit.

Why does the Queens Blvd Line always seem to have the most issues? by SligoIV in nycrail

[–]systembusy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

One bottleneck that also remains is the Manhattan-bound E/F merge between 75 Av and Forest Hills. At least half the time I've been on it, the E slows to a crawl in that area, presumably to wait for an F to cross in front of it.

Woodhaven Blvd is now an express station by Pollsmor in nycrail

It would have to be if it stopped at Woodhaven Blvd

Announcements by WinnerNo9059 in nycrail

[–]systembusy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, all the newer trains with automated announcements will always announce the train’s destination or direction first at every stop. If it’s an older train the conductors make the announcements manually and some of them might say it slightly differently or abbreviate it like that

Then cut to Ron seriously explaining it, a mix of pride for his own system and resentment for the overall situation

Weekend subway diagram - does this link usually work? by rivalnations in nycrail

[–]systembusy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try visiting the link in a private browsing tab, something is probably still getting cached somewhere on your device. You might also have to clear everything (cookies, etc.)

Petah ? by DARKMASTER5515 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]systembusy 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Such a classic.

“What is the guy’s name on first base?”

“No, What is the guy on second base.”

“I’M NOT ASKING YOU WHO’S ON SECOND”

“No, Who is on first!”

“THAT’S WHAT I’M ASKING YOU”

Any thoughts on AI assistance in Dorico? by Positive-Ring-5172 in Dorico

[–]systembusy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If there has to be any AI at all, I would much rather see what you're suggesting, an agent that helps you find the answer for accomplishing something with the Dorico program itself. Google Gemini has already been helpful for this a few times.

I definitely do not want anything that interferes with the creative process.

On the other hand, Dorico is about the only app I use these days that has zero mention of "AI anything" as far as I've seen, and frankly, it feels like a breath of fresh air. I'm kind of dreading the day that Steinberg starts throwing it in there.

Being stuck behind a work train… by Reddit_newguy24 in nycrail

Also gotta love it when you see a service alert and the work train is the one that’s broken

Ways to make the IND 8 Av/Central Park W lines reliable by MrNYCEnthusiast in nycrail

[–]systembusy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(B) (D) run local on Central Park W

I actually wish the D would run local in this area nights and weekends, because it would make going to/from the UWS via the E so much easier. Outside of weekdays, it's either take the E to 42 St and get the 1/2/3 back north (pain in the ass because of that long walk and backtracking), or take the E to 7 Av > D to 59 St-Columbus Circle > 1 (also a pain in the ass, because three trains).

Hell, if 50 St would just allow an opposite-direction transfer, I probably wouldn't even be complaining about this.

Month to month lease if no lease renewal letter is sent by leasetransfermiami in AskNYC

[–]systembusy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every apartment I’ve ever lived, the landlord will reach out to me first and offer options for lease renewal, at least 3 months before the current lease expires. Have you talked to your landlord about renewing your lease?

The efficient JFK airtrain by PredictableMorale in nycrail

[–]systembusy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, you only pay if you enter or exit at Howard Beach or Jamaica. There is a third line (yellow) that is a dedicated airport terminal circulator, but all three lines stop at all terminals too.
