ATC is already there in some form or another. The commuter rails have already put in PTC (positive train control) at a cost in the Billions. The issue with the subway doing the same is how antiquated the system is, and also how PTC is set up for short interlockings and signal blocks. Even before the MTA does that in…

It’s hard to imagine it getting more out of line than it already is, in relation to inflation, but it’s certainly possible. There are so many variables up in the air right now, including not only the Virus itself, but also the willingness of the commercial sector to return to paying for physical office space. It’s…

It’s pretty close to the truth, actually. Instead of having to spend all that time in school and in the industry learning all the ins and outs, all one has to do is keep an “ear to the ground” for the shenanigans on social media and let the dum-dums to do the price pumping for you. The only trick is getting out before…

In theory this has always been a good idea. In practice there are two glaring issues:

There is something to be said for working a job harder than it works you. Fantastic stuff! I doubt that G/O is cool enough to do company awards, but if they did you should win a bunch of them. (maybe not best rapper, but ya can’t win ‘em all. ha.) Living the dream, dude!

Sure, in a vacuum, as a theory, it could be considered agnostic. In practice, how it’s been developed, implemented, and monetized is not.

“As much as people say that Twitter is bad, the reason it remains vital is that it’s a window into people who would have been unknowable in the old world.”

What’s a “speed hump” you say?...

That’s that Brooklyn pizza/bagel tap water.

Kinda the joke. Sheesh. They are both comical in their own way, only to others. 

Potato, Potato. ha. So, you are saying I have to have the wing, no matter what? It might be true, but that seems unlikely to me seeing as how there are a lot of old people out there who will only buy one w/o it. GM doesn’t like making them grumpy.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall of the booking room where all the Minn. people make fun of the Queens guy for his stupid accent. (I know he was from Queens because he was chucking playing cards, which definitively on-brand.)

I guess I’ll write more after all. ha. We were long out of the truck at that point. I was riding w/my buddy in his bare bones S-10. He had stolen a Burger King napkin dispenser (way before then) to use as the armrest for the bench seat which is what really set it all off. That truck had all sorts of Pantera, Tool,…

That wasn’t all that far off from becoming a reality if I didn’t know enough to stop messing around with them. Don’t remember if it was the same trip, but one of the trips over to “the cottage” over there one of the cars of our crew tried bringing a keg of beer with them. Those knuckleheads got the full “oil and lube”…

I’m also guaranteed to get the fingertips swab almost every fucking time. I’d say that in the past 10 years I’ve been on about 150-ish flights total. For sure, it’s been less that 10 times that I just grab n’ go. The agents sometimes are actually shocked how calm I am about it. ha. I’m like “Yeah, yeah...”

I’m not gonna write out the whole thing, but I will say that (even pre-9/11) it’s not a great idea to ask Canadian border guards to check your oil when they are looking under the hood of your car for contraband. They find it less funny than they should. 

I’d say you won that debate. ha.

Personally, I have had a couple close calls when working in the yards. Once or twice with an engine when either myself or the Engineer weren’t fully paying attention, but more than a few when in between cars on the ground doing a hitch or hooking up the air. Throw in about a foot of snow on the ground and the only way…

Seeing as how most people won’t need the wing because they aren’t touching north of 110 mph, that’s an auto-delete from the option sheet.
