      And what’s up with the disappearing comments? I never delete anything.

      Either my encoding is wrong or I don't have the language pack, but either way I don't know what this is.

      I think the forum lacks support for Unicode in some areas. The character was probably mishandled and turned into gibberish.

  3. I’m maybe sorry I embarassed you by pointing out some inconvenient things, but learn and grow from your own mistakes.

  4. Happy holidays (and not Merry Christmas) to all!

  5. When 20% live up to a stereotype, they ruin it for the 80% who don't. Or are the percentages the other way around?

  6. Arrivederci, amici miei. Vado in Italia!

  7. This says I'm in the top 2.55% in terms of wealth… Bullshit? http://www.globalrichlist.com/wealth

  8. I haven't lost data in many years, but I'm never going to trust my data with a mobile phone again.

      matter of fact you reminded me to update my time machine backup

  9. Some people cry about their circumstances. Others change them.

  10. Does anyone else find foreign language music enchanting? I'm playing French music…

      the songs played on anime shows are awesome.

  11. What does it feel like to ignore the common man's advice, buck the trends, and win when everyone has been a sore loser? Is it hubris?

  12. Easily the best advice from 2013 to carry into the future: "The only way to protect yourself from this group-think is to train your brain to be allergic to popular opinions, taking contrarian views when everyone else is convinced they're right."

      Being contrary for the sake of it is factually as stupid as speaking the popular opinion for the same reason. If you're going to create an opinion, whether it's popular or not, be prepared for solid reasons why.

      I know. I made the same comment about "anti-conformity" versus "non-conformity." See: http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/topic/13467-off-topic-random-thoughts-thread/page-756#entry722627

  13. I never thought I'd see the day when humble audio recorders would be designed to take advantage of massive amounts of storage: Sony PCM-D100 audio recorder + Lexar 256GB SDXC card. Every audio recorder I've ever come across before has a paltry 2GB of internal memory, or only takes cards up to 32GB.

  14. Everyone has a conviction they hold firm in the face of condemnation from others.

  15. Just bought the SONY SLT-A99 and some expensive accessories and now I find out that SONY is on the verge of releasing an even better camera that happens to be cheaper too… The accessories are not compatible, so I've essentially locked myself into an obsolescing product.

      This is why I've been holding out on upgrading. Is it too late to return it for a refund?

    2. CenSin

      CenSin

      It's a stellar upgrade compared to what I've previously been using, so I don't mind. Plus, shopping around for the lowest prices means I would have to return not only the camera, but all of the compatible accessories to many different vendors. The restocking fees won't be worth it.

      Sony's αR7 is pretty much a Sony camera with Nikon's image quality. Nikon's highest quality camera (D800E) happens to be—ironically—using a Sony sensor inside which Sony has finally put in one of its own cameras. It's also cheaper than both of those cameras.

  16. It's never too early to get a head start on New Year's resolutions. Started working on mine and making good on some already.

  17. Haven't been on the forums lately… busy getting my dream girl out on a date with me.

  18. Wow. The conductor closed down the doors while the holding lights were on, and opened the doors for a brief moment just to let the (R) passengers scuttle over to the (N). Then it closed the doors and left the station while the holding lights were still on! Apparently, somebody shares my sentiment about holding lights: f*** them. And f*** the arriving train that didn't wait for us at the last express stop.

      I only screw up when I'm texting. Those damn buttons are too small to poke accurately.

  20. How often does a girl ask a guy out?

      I might get royally screwed over by this, but I'm going to ask a girl out (whom I have no interest in) simply to rile up the other girl, who likes me and I have an interest in, but is playing hard-to-get. I f**king hate games, so I'm going to ask any other girl out for the lulz. Who knows… this might develop into something nice.

      @Around the Horn: realizm is getting no bitchslaps. The same trick applies for guys: if a guy friendzones a girl, she is free to latch on to one of his buddies.

  21. Sometimes the MTA replaces intelligent people with monkeys. Those monkeys decide what switches are toggled and which trains need to go where and when.

      They did this when the (Q) was going Via West End that day, We got stuck where the yard is for 20 Minutes. I timed it, TWENTY. First we get held since a (D) is waiting to leave CI, tho it leaves about 3-5 minutes late, it crosses infront of us. Then a (D) pulls up next to us from the yard. We move up a little, then stop again. I didn't see anything happening, until about 10 minutes later the (D) crosses infront of us and pulls into CI. By now, everyone was pissed off and I the Water Main...

      ...Break had been fixed already. Finally after a few minutes we pull into CI.

      (strangely my post got cut off :wacko: )

      How does the (D) cross in front of the (Q) in the yard segment? Was it coming from the yard?

       

      My (B) got held right before Brighton Beach just an hour ago. It waited 8 minutes for another (B) to pull out of the terminal. By the time my (B) pulled in, I and one other passenger had noticed that there were 2 empty tracks! Why had we not pulled in sooner? Not only could I not catch the (Q) in front, but the (Q) behind the (B) from the bridge also caught up.

  22. Abusing my bandwidth to offload a few terabytes from my computers…

  24. I stopped work on them. Maybe when I get around to completing an interactive street map with different zoom levels… I've been meaning to make a geographically accurate subway map.
