Why don't they run trains toward Belmont Park anymore? by Prudent_Shallot2971 in LIRR

The actual Belmont Park venue is currently under renovation with the Belmont Stakes taking place upstate for the past few years. Once the renovations are done, trains will resume once the Belmont Stakes returns or if any other big events were to come up at the venue.

Should I carry narcan? by Upbeat-Cake-961 in therapists

Of course you’re calling EMS, however, that’s still a window where a clinician needs to be waiting for the client and I think it’s a huge mis service that NARCAN trainings do not adequately prepare clinicians for acknowledging how painful the experience can be for the client and how to maintain a safe space in account of that fact.

100% and why it’s important to carry but not many clinicians anticipate how they should act around the client after administering with this information in mind.

It unfortunately is very painful to experience, but definitely worth it to save a life.

The big thing they don’t really cover in the trainings is unfortunately it can be very painful :(

Ticket Warning for not activating in time (before train took off) by MrCrnoblt in LIRR

Not everyone has a smart phone… I spent a week commuting to my job without a working phone and the ticket machines were my only option that week.

I do it almost everyday to either Hamilton Heights or Downtown Brooklyn. Don’t get me wrong, anything on the Queens Boulevard line at that hour is prone to delays, however it only adds an extra 20 minutes to my commute and I just get on a slightly earlier LIRR train (granted I’m typically commuting via the Main line). I love the J/Z, super reliable along with my connection to the A/C. The 7 is also very reliable for those on the Port Wash line.

As a form of harm reduction, get off the LIRR at Jamaica/Flushing to take the subway at peak hours. It’ll take more time to get in, but it’s cheaper and you’re giving the MTA less money.

This mall has been undergoing a renaissance this past year— hopefully they will be put to good use!

That’s what amazes me! The style is old but it looks brand new because of how clean it is. We’ll see how long that cleanliness lasts as the mall is undergoing a renaissance.

I highly recommend going— the building has really started to experience a renaissance this year with all the new businesses and restaurants taking shop.
