I was thinking that it was probably going to be just another one of those "museums" where you pay a bunch of money so that you can post on social media that you're there.

Years ago someone posted a picture on this sub of a restaurant that had "BRUNCH" spelled out on individual pieces of paper with colorful letters in the window and you had to look somewhat close to notice that the "C" was the DOHMH rating

I would be less annoyed if there was some noticeable improvement in the service on the weekdays but as far as I can tell we still have the same shitty infrastructure

Calling the clickbait bullshit slate dot com slings "journalism" is a pretty big stretch there.

I was worried it was going to be about the Open Streets program and not a bunch of shitty shacks

Reducing wages AND saving on commercial rents is a win-win situation for any employer.

Remember, you're nothing but red numbers in a spreadsheet to your average employer

"I practiced ordering a BEC in the mirror for an hour a day until I got it perfect. I learned to say 'on line' instead of 'in line.' And now with this, no one will ever ask where I'm from again"

They addressed this somewhere within the first few paragraphs of this article. They even had screenshots

I think they don't mostly because I believe the target group for these things are likely transit nerds.

The MTA website or CityMapper works well for most of us and we don't need a sign on the wall that tells us that the next Queens-bound R train will be there in ten minutes.

I guess the other target audience are companies etc. that want to remind you that they are NYC-based. I can very easily imagine seeing one of these on the wall in the common area of a Bay Area office of an NYC-based company.

Haha.. I remember this and thought that it was pretty crappy and janky just from how much the sign didn't look anything at all like the actual signs in the stations. The fonts and colors were wrong and it overall just looked halfassed.

There's another company out there that's selling offering for pre-order more realistic looking signs that are probably not much internally different than the one in this article. Only they have nicer looking cases and cost upward of $1K.

They have a fancy looking website with lots of insta-worthy photos of their prototype and have that "We're just a couple of guys from NYC who love the subway and want to bring this to others who love the subway" tone to the writing on the site.

They're probably going to disappear with everyone's money too.

If you want to fall into the money hole that the mechanical keyboard hobby is, you might find that heavy weight spring Zealio switches are an okay compromise

Yeah because Dell and HP still include mechanical keyboards with all their PCs. You can even choose between Cherry or ALPS

I've always been told that the actual answer to this is "It depends and you should ask your super" because there are apparently a few different ways in which a steam heating system can be set up and in some cases the knob/valve is there in case the radiator needs to be removed or replaced and when you turn the knob to off, it cuts off steam to anything else along the line.

Neat! Instead of mountains of trash everywhere we'll have overflowing bins everywhere.
