@martyrdison Interestingly enough- Many computer engineers do this. I grew up on a farm, became and engineer, and I think I may return to farming later in life. So much less stress!
@gregmocker@PIX11News This actually makes a ton of sense- they shut down NJT to only World Cup ticket holders and jacked up the price on those tickets. Path already at capacity normally. That leaves the normal NJT ridership had no other choice but to drive. Njt should have had xtra trains.
@anishmoonka I loved JetBlue for their even more space as I’m tall, but then they went for a first class price with economy experience. Delta first class is less $, bigger seat, and more checked bags on the same route.
My new favorite NYC life hack: take Ubers for ~50% of the price
It’s called Empower
I took a car from Manhattan to Newark during peak time. It cost $61 (usually >$120)
What’s the catch? I looked into it:
Drivers pay a monthly subscription fee to be listed on the app. In return empower takes no cut (vs 30% from Uber)
Drives set their own prices
So legally they are not a ride share biz but a marketplace
Founder is a lawyer who interned at the White House. He figured this out!
P.s. this is NOT a paid promo. Just had a great experience that is all.
@ProvenceStyleCo@CNN@grok I put 1000w of panels on my balcony last year to test, I get 3 hours of sun on a good day at a terrible angle there. They charge my 1000wh generator fully in that time which powers my tv and lights at night, so I figure I save about $15/month from the outrageous fees now.
@raqisright I am an INTJ, goto the MBTI group on meetup, lots of us show up haha I’ve personally found ENTJ types help me in business most since I’m focused on making cool stuff
@MurrayHillGuy1 This is precisely why I quit using apps in 2014. I did a similar experiment with a fake profile on okcupid. If I ever date this way again, it will be a paid match maker or speed dating. But I learned first to love myself, and that was the hardest step.
@HeyAmit_ Agreed, my prompt usually goes: “use my prior conversations as context to help make this email better and more professional. I want to respond with: (my reply that’s very crude and scatter brained), (along with the email I got from them)”. It’s an incredible tool.
@raqisright Sounds depressing but not surprising. I’d say there is another type here that’s missing- the quiet introverts that are established, have purpose, furnished apartments, are happy, have a few good friends, but really don’t go out much. That’s me.
