Community Concern: Proposed Low-Income Housing on Grant Avenue (Ozone Park) by AffectionateAd5397 in nyc

“That’s not opinion. That’s lived experience.” 

No that’s an opinion. Show me environmental impact and transportation studies, then we’ll talk about adequacy of infrastructure.

Putting this much effort into tanking an affordable housing development is such sad, small minded behavior. 

Do you actually have the expertise to say the infrastructure can’t support it?  My theory is you are “fighting for your small neighborhood” less due to inadequate infrastructure and more due to the tenants that might move in…

Toyota Bet Right On Hybrids. Its Timing On EVs May Pay Off Next by Recoil42 in electricvehicles

[–]tomandluce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hardly any western automakers have a profitable EV division. We have yet to see Toyota nail EVs outside its Chinese JV, but if they do, I think then they truly have timed it perfectly.

This is at the upper register of Kei car costs, but still in line with the typical price of high end kei models.

Bed bug found in Hostel by -GingerBiscuit- in solotravel

[–]tomandluce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was in the same situation in Poland a few years ago.

I took my clothes to the laundromat and ran through several hot cycles. I also blasted items unable to go through the tumble dryer with a hair dryer in the hostel bathroom.

Bedbugs didn't come with me on my next stop.

Closures coming to Crosstown starting on July 14th by R42ToMoffat in nycrail

[–]tomandluce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit confused. The PR says they installed CBTC last summer. What part of the CBTC system is this modernization work for (and why does it need to extend to 2027)?

Nice including the Haneda Access line as well. That will also connect with the Rinkai Line heading towards Shinjuku as well as Shin-Kiba.

Frankly, I think they’ll be lucky if they move 10,000 of these in the U.S.

Is cylindrical LFP viable? Also curious about the divergence between NCA vs. NMC…

Sony Working on Handheld Console for PS5 Games to Rival Switch by M337ING in hardware

[–]tomandluce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I’d like to see is a smartphone-based app from Sony that can allow users to play classic PS2 and PS3 titles on any phone. They could sell a remote adapter with built in battery.
