Founded on radio row in New York City in 1923. Vacuum tubes, tube sockets, meters, Bakelite knobs, nostalgia

@CitiBikeNYC There's a CitiBike in the garbage at 110th Street & 2nd Avenue

I received a message from someone insisting that a Johnson 124-311 did not fit a 8121 transmitting tube. Looks like a fit here.

@dave_g8kbv sorry for your loss

@ConEdison To make up for the lack of bright ideas from your employees and management?

I have to love it that @Staypineapple sent me an email about their new hotel in NYC. I need a hotel in NY like a fish needs a bicycle #BornInNYC #LifeLongNYer BTW 337 West 36th Street is a pretty crappy neighborhood.

@dave_g8kbv I once worked on a 40+ year old Fairchild 670 limiter (current price $25000-$35000) that had one of its selector switches wired backwards at the factory. #QualityControlFail

@BrooklynSpoke @Ben__Shapiro I am a long time (54 years), heavy duty cyclist. If you're expecting to have that high-level of observance of traffic laws, courtesy and common sense on the streets of big cities, specifically NY, in the US you're delusional. #NeverGoingToHappen #StopDreamingAndMoveToEurope

@DavidSandman1 If they're talking about poor areas why are they displaying a stock photo of one of the most expensive neighborhoods in NYC?

@AskeBay My "issue" is that most of the people working for @ebay are idiots. They have not been terminated so my issue has not been "sorted."

[Leeds Radio @LeedsRadio]

.@ebay is doing its usual fine, efficient job of returning phone calls. The automated system told me I'd get called back in 31 - 44 minutes. It's been one hour twenty minutes #CustomerServiceFail #IdiotsAtTheWheel

@John_Sevigny @Chapinbert NT was written in Koine Greek which was a common language in the Mediterranean until around 600. The "early church" is before the First Council of Nicaea (325) so they were not using a "translation." The KJ made use of translations. NIV is from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts.

[Leeds Radio @LeedsRadio]

@John_Sevigny @Chapinbert translated and not just the KJ but several others including the NIV

One of my favorite buildings in Manhattan. No idea why. It's really kind of an odd ball.

@downtownseattle Seneca Street's severe steep slope.

@RobertBohan @NYCTBus >be insane to be on a bike
Untrue. I've been riding for 54 years. Downhill I've topped 90 kph and likely even 100 kph. Good riders are well trained, know their machines/personal limitations and don't take unnecessary risks.

The most dangerous drivers in the Bronx are not unlicensed drivers but menaces like this @NYCTBus driver. Failure to yield S.B on Walnut, RT turn onto E 134th Street, 7/27/2018, 2:59 pm. Note: In the 1st pic I am already on my way across the street, Bus #7785 plate AT8610

[Leeds Radio @LeedsRadio]

@RobertBohan @NYCTBus I've been to Dublin and I'd say cyclists there are about as reckless as they are in Seattle. But neither of those towns has anything on London. #CyclePsychos

[Leeds Radio @LeedsRadio]

@RobertBohan @NYCTBus In London maybe, but not in the US. In NYC, the Bronx in particular, truck and bus drivers and absolutely the worst. They think a CDL is an exemption from all rules. They think red lights and stop sign are suggestions. And the 25mph speed limit? They've never heard of it.

[Leeds Radio @LeedsRadio]

@RobertBohan You have $500 but you can wager up to $1000....
