Acela Express Posted April 19, 2012 Share #4176 Posted April 19, 2012 Was walking around the city today and boy are the streets FILTHY... We need a good rain storm and bad... Stuff just spilled all over the place. The city (Manhattan) has become filthier especially with all of the tourists flocking here. The store owners should be forced to take care of their sidewalks like they do in other places where they use hot water and soap to wash down the sidewalks. It's funny you mention this because I thought the same thing the last few times I went to Manhattan. Areas such as Columbus Circle & Time Square should be cleaner -- overflowing garbage bins, and just unsanitary spots along with homeless people laying everywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCtrainfan01 Posted April 20, 2012 Share #4177 Posted April 20, 2012 Anyone remembers how to see archives on the shoutbox? I would have asked there but If I missed the answer after a long conversation there then I won't be able to see the answer.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if there is a mod Harry can install that adds an archive to the chatbox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDTA Posted April 21, 2012 Share #4181 Posted April 21, 2012 On the topic of rain, it hasn't rained here in a couple of months. We were supposed to get some today but it didn't happen. The dirt is literally cracked all over the place. Also, the Foster The People on SNL videos got taken down? WTF? And what really pisses me of is that the Letterman videos are still there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaica Line Posted April 23, 2012 Share #4183 Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) And I thought operating a subway train was tough... Understanding freight train physics is like a whole 'nother dimension. Just learning how a mile long train of slack can work against you on a steep grade is freighting enough. Makes sense as to why they're called train engineers - the science behind operating such machines is immense!

Jamaica Line Posted April 23, 2012 Share #4185 Posted April 23, 2012 Guess I'm more attracted to railroads now. Took my first trip on a railroad solo via Amtrak from Penn Station to Patalka, Florida late March (around twenty hours both ways). One of the best experiences ever. Loved hearing the horn in combination of the sounds made from the tracks while running through numerous crossings. Ntm these trains are huge! These youtube videos don't give a good impression of how big these trains really are - you gotta see one for yourself! You could even feel the vibrations of the diesel freight engines that ran parallel. Saw another freight consist running along the Lower Montak Branch today. Standing just a few feet from the tracks, I felt like a little kid as I raised my eyebrows with my mouth open in amazement of how huge these things are. Couldn't emphasized that enough. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted April 24, 2012 Share #4186 Posted April 24, 2012 Less than 2 more weeks for the Avengers movie, I can't wait anymore. The wait is driving me crazy! On the subject, a Regal Cinemas here is showing the 6 Movies that came out prior to The Avengers, AND a Midnight showing of The Avengers on May 3rd. Twelve hours and thirty five bucks. Can't wait. (P.S. With Ponify it says "Foster The Ponies". I lol'd) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRT Bronx Express Posted April 27, 2012 Share #4195 Posted April 27, 2012 My VCR sucks... I had to throw away 3 "dummy" tapes because the picture started to get very grainy before returning to normal. It would repeat various times, and the tapes aren't that old to begin with... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted April 27, 2012 Share #4196 Posted April 27, 2012 Damn that sucks. Speaking of tapes, I'm gonna need to buy another pack of blank tapes. I may use the dvr as a default but some channels cuts off a program's first and last few minutes. So damn annoying. VR, I can control it, but quality isn't as good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted April 27, 2012 Share #4197 Posted April 27, 2012 Maxell tapes are common to encounter these days. I remember TDK tapes dominating back in the day, but it seems that demand for VHS is starting to decline little by little... i have a DVDr, but it's crap. Other than not recording CC, the picture quality stinks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted April 27, 2012 Share #4198 Posted April 27, 2012 I've yet to use a dvdr. The one I have just doesn't work or is too complicated to use. Yeah I know what you mean about TDK, those tapes have pretty good quality. Sony has some tapes as well and I've bought a number of those. Quality is ok, but I bought them because it was cheaper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejr88 Posted April 27, 2012 Share #4199 Posted April 27, 2012 Can somebody please tell me the difference between a DVD-R and a DVD+R?? Plus or minus what's the difference? Ditto DVDRWs as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTS CNG Command Posted April 27, 2012 Share #4200 Posted April 27, 2012 Back in the good ol' days of Major League Baseball, there used to be quite a bit of fighting. And, no, I don't mean a simple bench-clearer or a simple mound-charge with only the pitcher and better ejected. I mean REAL bench-clearing brawls, where the fighting spills out and gets very nasty. Basically equivalent to the WWE. Sometimes, it gets so nasty that we may see as many as six, seven, or eight ejections for one fight or a series of fights that happen during one period. Today, we don't see these kinds of heavy-duty scraps unless you're watching a minor-league contest. There's one underrated brawl that's just popped up on YouTube: the 1990 Brewers-Mariners brawl.
