  1. I hate trying to find a hotel in Bratislava. Theres absolutely nothing to do out here, and the possibility of staying in Bratislava for 2 nights is killed by the uber high prices, so now were stuck here. I think I may lose it...

  2. I just logged onto Youtube, and not only am I being forced to use my full name, when I go to my "uploads" section it tells me I have no videos up, no subscriptions and no watch history or anything of the sort. Is anyone else having this issue?

      Well, how about that... it worked. I had no idea this existed, or when this "other" channel was created. Thanks!

      No problem lol. Stupid google plus, smh.

      You are like months late on this. Either way, when they made the shift, I never lost anything of mine with YouTube. But yes, if you deleted your Google+ account, the data linked to YouTube is deleted as well and it tells asks you two times before even deleting it.

  3. I really can't understand or relate to people who whine about the older buses... The interiors of buses like the VIIs are really depressing looking, and high floors are far better than low floors in the fact that you don't get your brain punched out going over every single pothole.

      I like the interior of high-floors. The VII are low floors, and some of the Orion 7 designs get old to me.

      ttcsubwayfan

      I don't have any beef with the Orion 7, but considering we have over 1000 in Toronto's fleet, I got tired of them. VERY QUICKLY.

       

      Also, my comment about high floors being better than low floors stands. I rode an Orion V on Dufferin Street last Friday. The street had potholes and bumps everywhere, and it was bad enough on the V,

      ...so it must be even worse on a low floor bus.

  4. I really hate it when people compare European transit to North American transit. Especially in regards to how vehicles look on the outside.

      I rather drive between cities than take mass transit. Only time I really take mass transit is when I go into Manhattan.

      I dont like the European style trains, I think the stuff we have looks better.

      @foxie: I fully agree with you. But to each his own, I guess.

  5. I really hate reaching my quota of positive votes...

      people that "spam" likes are likely people that expect to boost their total amount of likes... I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine type of thing...

  6. I really wish I'd taken more photos when I lived in Bratislava in 2005

  7. I value material objects. Get over it.

      People try telling me how to live my life daily, so I can relate.

  8. I'll be going on vacation to Mont Tremblant in a week and I'm seriously considering not using the internet at all during that time. It seems I can't go anywhere now without reading people spreading around nonsensense believed by morons and I can hardly consider it a relaxing vacation if I have to deal with this idiocy while I'm there.

      On Wednesday thru Friday I am going on a three day school trip, boy I'd like to get away from here for once.

    4. ttcsubwayfan

      ttcsubwayfan

      Same here @B3, except for me It's the entire rat race called the internet. I think it does me more harm than good.

  9. I'm getting pretty sick of my mind constantly trying to pick out patterns when in reality none exist... ENOUGH ALREADY, DAMMIT.

  10. I'm not dead! I was just in Slovakia because of my aunt, who got married. I visited Bratislava a few times. Photos soon.

  11. I'm still really confused about why people are so excited for the R188s. It's the exact same garbage that's been running on the IRT lines for the past 13 years, why is the fact that it's going to be on Flushing now such a big deal?

      It would be something for them to be excited about, if they understood that sentence... really, all they can understand is "train be slightly less busy."

       

      But what I'm talking about is the railfans - they already see these damn things everywhere.

      Lol it's just the typical obsession with "shiny new equipment," regardless of the fact that the parent design is more than a decade old lol.

    4. ttcsubwayfan

      That sounds about right!

  12. I'm using Macs in my yearbook class and I am stunned at how user unfriendly they are... setting wallpapers just being one such example.

      You can right-click on the mouse. Hold the "Control" key and click on the mouse.

      @peacemak3r: I know, I know. Doesn't mean I can't vent about it, though ;)

       

      @ RTS CNG Command: Didn't know that, thanks! That should make using the computer a bit less problematic.

      I have my Mac set (you can generally due this is settings) so that a two-finger click or tap is the same as right click...I find it a lot smoother than the occasionally broken right side of the PC mouse at work.

  13. I've been hit by a powerful desire to go to Bratislava. Which kind of blows, as I can't go again until September 2015.

  14. I've lost track of how many times people call for the R62s to be retired with ~10 years left. It's getting real tiring.

      Tell me about it. These aren't personal vehicles that can be trashed at whim.

      And if they were to retire, then the fans would complain about losing them and that they were retired early.

  15. If you're going through hell... keep going.

  16. IMO, the only thing that makes the R160s tolerable is the propulsion. The Siemens propulsion sounds cool, and the Alstom propulsion isn't that bad either. Hate the actual cars though.

    1. RollOver

      RollOver

      I love the Siemens too. The propulsion is so sweet than the Alstom propulsion. I love the sounds of the R142As and Siemens R160Bs.

      Don't forget those PATH PA-5s....

  17. In light of Elon Musk's plan to colonize Mars, would you personally go to Mars if you had the chance?

      Stupidity is just bound to follow, so, really, what's the point?

  18. Is the forum messed up for anyone else? Everything is written in Times New Roman and the way the boards appear within the forums is completely off.

    1. ttcsubwayfan

      Seems to be back to normal

      had it happen to me earlier.

  19. Is/was passing between cars not prohibited in the New York subway? If it is, why were the modifications made to the Slants necessary?

      They still looked damn hot with the gates... but they were necessary...

    3. ttcsubwayfan

      ttcsubwayfan

      I'd be the first to agree with you but unfortunately you'll find that that is not an opinion shared by many. I maintain that their "as built" forms looked the best, though.

       

      Is that the same reason why the Mods and 42s also received gates?

    4. Grand Concourse

      Grand Concourse

      the slants needed the gates because it wasn't safe to pass b/w the ends of the cars. Obviously a person shouldn't be moving when the train is running, but 'it's for safety'.

  20. It is -30 celsius here in Toronto right now. What the hell.

  21. Just a word of notice, folks... if people don't like the way I act, speak or feel, than that is just too bad because I will not be changing the way I am for anyone.

  22. Just bought a book outlining the PCC streetcars of all the transit systems in North America. Awesome.

  23. Just found about NoScript, an add on for Firefox. This is the solution to the issues with mod downloading I have, absolutely essential to the internet experience.

    1. DetSMART45

      DetSMART45

      Yep, been around awhile. Couple it with Flashblock, Better Privacy and Adblock Plus and see how much crap gets filtered.

      The sites that attempt to guilt-trip you into enabling all the trackers aren't worth visiting.
