I saw this show in LA. It was awesome, not mansplain-y in the slightest. FAR AND AWAY though the best part was all the stoned dude-bros who'd obviously driven in from the 'bu who were pretty fucking baffled - if good-naturedly so - by the change in pace from his earlier shows.

It literally would've taken less time to type "jamoke" into a Google search than to type out your comment. Don't be a tool.

Looking things up might do you good. "Jamoke" is decades old. It's been in use since at least the 40's to mean sucker/loser/chump/idiot.

I'm going to agree with you, and also say you're part of the problem. Unfortunately one problem compounds the other; people getting on before everyone has cleared off makes getting off harder, which takes longer, which for a train that keeps a schedule means that they have to close the doors sooner which means that…

I bet they didn't make it out of the parking lot...

If I had $50 for every car I've seen burn to the ground on the highway in Illinois, I'd be able to buy one of those fancy TempurPedic beds...I moved out here in 2001 and in the first year, I think I saw four car fires. I thought it was a fluke. It's been that way…

We do in many of the civilized parts of the US... so, you know, not Florida

you are part of the problem

I've noticed this decline over the past 5 years. I saw it in the Port Authority and in bus service in general. I think there are 3 things going on here:

But overcrowding should be less a cause of delays itself than a symptom of other issues. One reason for overcrowding might be increased ridership, but while ridership has reached new and unseen-before heights, it isn't up 113 percent to match the increase in overcrowding delays.

Countdown clocks that tell everyone that there's a train or two directly behind the one people have been waiting for for 15 minutes would help immensely with overcrowding if I'm not busy panicking that another train won't come for 15 minutes.

I recently moved out of New York City after living there for 10 years. This was part of why I moved (one of many reasons). It's also part of why I miss New York, but not enough to move back. Anyway, shortly after I moved, I spent about 5 weeks in Japan, in Tokyo and Kyoto but also throughout the countryside.

They could make it their purview with three words. Interstate Commerce clause.

As a non-automotive person, what is the best way to prevent these types of problems? When I get my oil changed at the shop I am promised a brake inspection, and assume it actually happens. Between that and keeping up on the maintenance schedule, what more is the average car owner to do?

There are few regulations I support, and this is one of the very reasons that I fully stand behind mandated vehicle inspections. People need to be held responsible but some are just too stupid to do so on their own. That could very well cost them their life, or even worse, someone else's.

Yeah. I really wanted THAT to be one of the stories.

It was one of the most misunderstood cars of it's time, but also one of the very best.

Even though you've never met someone, there is the sense that, for a time we traveled together through this world, bound together by our humanity and common experiences, and now one of us is gone, and the other has to keep going. All we can do for the dead is remember them.

my too and I still have it in my garage...

This was my second car after a few months with an Explorer.

That was my first car! I really liked it and with good snow tires it was fantastic winter driver as well.
