― lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:09 (eleven years ago) link
ha actually it is v nice i take it all back
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:18 (eleven years ago) link
the subway is gross tho
i mean its a great system just a lil gross to be inside
yeah i phoned my dad to tell him and his reaction was to tell me about the time he was scared riding the subway and the bus to JFK in 1972

thanks dad!

dont worry no bus necessary now theres the airtrain
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:22 (eleven years ago) link
which somehow costs five dollars to ride for three stops
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:23 (eleven years ago) link
well done, caek. i really want to move to nyc but it seems to be impossible visa-wise. a three month holiday (that's how long you can stay, i think) is something i'm considering next year.

fwiw atlantic ave to 116th st (change at 96) is apparently 33m according to the mta

see this is misleading because you won't live on top of the train station in atlantic avenue or even particularly close, and you will have to wait for the trains, and there will be delays. like the actual train trip might be 33m.

tho I know a columbia grad student who commutes from staten island
try not to do that at least
― iatee, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:31 (eleven years ago) link
i'm going to live on top of the train station in atlantic avenue though, maybe you're forgetting that

i was on the subway in 1972, it was magical.

your options are living in that target or living in the barclays center, they both have their pluses and minuses

Yeah, I think the next round is for 2015 entry. The odds aren't as bad as you might think tho.
― Tioc Norris (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:36 (eleven years ago) link
im like a 15 minute walk from atlantic

long commutes are underrated, if you have no transfers or only an across-the-platform transfer its a nice way to read
yeah that's my plan
― caek, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:41 (eleven years ago) link
long commutes are according to science worse than hitler
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:42 (eleven years ago) link
long commutes are the worst, you have like an hour less of your day and you aren't getting paid for it
― iatee, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:43 (eleven years ago) link
, if you have no transfers or only an across-the-platform transfer its a nice way to read
unless you live on the F and hardly ever get a seat.
― Pope Rusty I (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:44 (eleven years ago) link
i will play devils advocate and say a short commute kinda sucks because you cant really get any reading momentum going in 10 min, also the f train does suck
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:49 (eleven years ago) link
man, my 10 min commute sure does suck. it sucks a lot, having such a short commute
let me tell you what sucks, it sucks when your commute is only 10 min long
walking commute is the best obvs
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:49 (eleven years ago) link
walking commute is living the dream, it only sucks in that you probably won't have it some day
― iatee, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:51 (eleven years ago) link
i decided i am going to walk today, it takes about 32 minutes... one minute shorter than living on top of atlantic station and going to columbia ; )
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:52 (eleven years ago) link
most of my commute is on an overground train so I just look at ilx or blogs, like my post upthread was a commute post
― iatee, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:52 (eleven years ago) link
commutes would be 100x better if they had 3g/lte underground like SOME CITIES do, it's true
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:53 (eleven years ago) link
you should make yr job pay for yr commute cause you just do the same stuff anyway xp

I have to choose btwn bus, tram or cycle every morning for my 15 min commute it is sheer hell

it's true that 3G on the ubahn in munich made the 50m commute a bit better but mostly i just read books
― caek, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 13:58 (eleven years ago) link
great scads of improving literature
one thing i am looking forward to: i have a big backlog of 20th c history books to read which i've been uncomfortable to read in the former national socialist republic
