  1. Just stood ankle-deep in snow for 10 minutes waiting to photograph a bus that didn't come. That was a waste of time.

  2. Later today I will be off to Slovakia. I will probably not be active on the forums until I return on August 20th. I will have plenty of photos!

      Ah huh... That explains a lot. I have a colleague who takes off for almost a month each year, but even that is a big deal, so anything over a month is REALLY are here in the States.

  3. Man, Google just keeps making Maps look worse and worse every year

      i think it looks better now but is a lil slower, i don't mind it tho

      I liked it when they had main streets indicated yellow and side streets indicated white, pre 2014. Since then, they've removed the yellow for main streets, because differentiating between a major thoroughfare and a random residential street is for plebs. The latest update takes the cake though. The streets are so undefined, I feel like I need glasses when viewing the program.

      See this shout, and I say to myself, what did they do to f*** up the map now...

       

      I check it out, and I don't mind the removal of the yellow street color (for major roads)....

       

      What baffles me though, is that peach colored shit under some of the roads - What is that supposed to represent?

  4. Me thinks I've been spending too much on the forums lately.

      Nice...I got the sweater..looking to get the shirt in the warmer months.

  7. My New York trip has been postponed AGAIN (I was supposed to stop over there on the way back from a vacation in Florida), this time due to a lack of hotels willing to accomodate large families for non-outrageous prices. Not again!!!

      @theaveragejoe: True, it's not the worst location, but it's no New York. Oh well.

       

      @R188: Unfortunately I'm on a killer time limit, so it's very unlikely that I'll get to look for those sets at all. Unfortunate, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Would be worse if all trains had a RFW view on the Queens end, those things would be mocking me to no end. A more important priority, for me, is getting exterior shots, and I think I can do that at GC. I don...

      I don't even think I can head over to Willets Point and photo the yard there, it's so out of the way from everything else I'm in search of. It is what it is.

      ttcsubwayfan then I got increadibly lucky because two days in a row a different times of day i caught 1960 with a half cab.

  8. Never thought I'd catch myself foaming but it has happened... I have stumbled upon photos I took in Europe during my trip in 2008 and I am amazed at all the cool things I took photos of that I didn't even realize! Wow.

      No... my reaction was.

  9. Oh, how I hate breaking in a computer after a reinstallation of the operating system...

      Every time I see white-on-black screen my nerves clench. That is why I need a UEFI Bios to work around.

  16. Slovakia... only place where buses have air conditioning and the driver chooses not to use them! Jesus!

      Lol, yep. Dont know what was the point of installing the damn thing if it is never switched on.

      At least they have air conditioning.

      In Paris very few buses have it, even our newer model.

      The excuse is that it is not environmentally friendly.

      I always keep saying that a bus or train with air conditionning is more environmentally friendly than hundred of cars with air conditionning.

    4. ttcsubwayfan

      ttcsubwayfan

      Im not sure how much weight the argument "at least they have air conditioning" holds, if they never turn it on in the first place. The experience would be the same with or without. In Bratislava, most of our vehicles do not have ac and I felt a lot more comfortable in them than in a coach bus, thanks to every hatch and window being opened.

  17. So I'm finding that I can't download Euro Truck mods anymore, because NoScript blocks the actual downloads as well. adfly is the cancer of the internet and if it didn't exist, I wouldn't need to use a script blocker. sigh

      Doesn't noScript allow you to manually whitelist individual domains one each page? That could help you dodge the ads while still have the content in tact.

    2. ttcsubwayfan

      ttcsubwayfan

      It does, but for some reason, adfly doesn't seem to have multiple domains. The menu indicates that the only domain on the pages I'm being linked to is adfly itself, which I take it to mean they store the malicious ads on their servers.

  18. So my mom's ranting about a proposed trip to New York City in October 2013 and how I am the only one that will get anything out of it... Great.

      oh damn, sorry to hear. Hopefully you can get some of the good stuff down.

      Well if it's sightseeing, you could just do some walking thru Central park and the major intersections on Broadway and it won't cost a dime other than if you need to travel by subway or bus. But in a good day you can do most of midtown, Lower Manhattan, and Central park in 2 days.

    4. ttcsubwayfan

      ttcsubwayfan

      Well, the most expensive thing is actually getting there. Driving for 750 KM is expensive. Transit is not that expensive by comparison. But yes, I wish to see more of Central Park and whatnot.

  19. Some peole really need to be more tolerant of the fact that other people have different opinions than them.

  20. Some people need to stop taking things so personally. Geez.

  21. sorting photos and videos from Slovakia... expect a thread in the next few days

      Nice to hear. Looking forward to seeing your pics!

      Thanks, although I'm really not happy to be back. I feel quite empty ever since we've returned - a feeling I've become quite familiar with, but I digress. Only thing I'm glad is that I have a house with A/C.

       

      Nevertheless, I have around 330 photos to upload to my gallery (around 80 are from my 2008, the rest from my 2013 one), so we'll see if I get the thread up today or tomorrow.

  22. Stay safe everyone.

  23. Strangest hobby you ever practiced?

      @mtattrain: Traffic lights as well, I was interested in them yet knew practically nothing about them.

  24. Sure will be glad when my exams are done next Monday (the 28th). I hate being a student.

  25. The heating on Xcelsiors is excellent. I've ridden them to and from school every day this week and they are very warm.
