@EWRairport Are the wait times shown in apps like "MyTSA" for EWR considered accurate?

Due to longer wait times at #EWR airport security, please allow extra travel time.

@DaisyDukes5599 @miles_commodore Learned to drive stick when I was about 12 in my dad's old work truck on private property. 1960s GMC box truck for the four-speed manual on the floor and heavy duty everything. Manual cars were a breeze after driving that tank.

@miles_commodore I learned to drive in a stick. Dad took me to a heal and showed me how to not roll backwards by engaging the clutch enough to keep it on the hill.

For those who learned how to drive a stick shift know exactly what I’m talking about. The anxiety at a red light or being on a hill with cars behind me used to always get me when I was learning.

@EmilySm43 I uninstalled that worthless piece of crap application years ago. Where's my money?

Be honest

@FreckleFaceFvck I had the unfortunate luck of having to replace windshields in two of my cars fairly close together a few years ago. As I recall, I had a $100 deductible so I was out of pocket $200 total for two new windshields. Both were done in my driveway by Safelite.

It’s $996 to replace my windshield with insurance. It’s $491 to replace my windshield without insurance. What the fuck is the point of insurance ????

Officially feeling old now. Went to the supermarket and they were playing the normal "oldie hits" type music. The particular banger they had going when I walked in? "Hysteria" by Def Leppard. Time to go sit on the rocker in my porch and yell at the kids not to touch my grass.

Question for anyone traveling lately: are the wait times shown in the "MyTSA" anywhere near accurate? #travel #tsa

@mariana057 Haha... we see what you did their ....

I am so frustrated with people that don’t know the difference between “your” and “you’re”. There so uneducated…

@alt_w_v_g While not as detailed as this, I did something similar years ago. Researched and found the dealer invoice pricing for the car I was ordering online and had it in my pocket for when we got to the price negotiations. Once they knew I had it, got the car for $500 over invoice.

Went to the car dealership Saturday Wife wants a new SUV Salesman walked over and said "what are we looking for today?" I said "what's your margin on the Tahoe?" He laughed I said "I'm not joking. What's the invoice price versus the sticker and what holdback does the dealer get from GM?" He stopped laughing My wife said "we're just browsing" We were not just browsing I brought a spreadsheet Printed Color coded Blue for inputs Black for calculations I showed him the comparable transaction analysis I ran on every Tahoe sold within 50 miles in the last 90 days He said "sir this is a car dealership" I said "and these are the comps" He went to get his manager The manager came out Looked at my spreadsheet Looked at me Said "where do you work?" I said "private equity" He said "that explains it" My wife was already in the lobby pretending she didn't know me We got the Tahoe $4,200 below sticker She didn't thank me But the savings speak for themselves You are welcome Sent from my iPhone

@the7maxims Absolutely. Even in my 20's (admittedly a long time ago), you could find a really decent used car for a few thousand. Definitely not the case over the past 5 years or more.

My kid is a rising senior. We’re looking at cars for her. She asked to look at the new Broncos… 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 $35000 & up. I decided to look at a RAV4 thinking I could find something less than $20000. They’re $30000 plus. I guess entry level vehicles are a thing of the past.

@status_is_down Nope. No issues in NJ.

Is Verizon down for you as well? #Verizon #VerizonDown community.designtaxi.com/topic/24738-is…

@GrandstreamNet Does the Grandstream WP836 wifi phone support enrollment in commercial MDM environments such as Omnissa Workspace One?

Its only "racist" when applied to white people.

@ShopRiteStores Thank you for response. The DM that I received did not contain a resolution, it simply stated that the information was being passed to quality assurance for review. I'm interested in knowing the results of that review.

@ericplent Hi Eric! We just sent you a DM and shared a resolution 😊 Thank you again for your support and for taking the time to provide all the details — we truly appreciate you!

Hey @ShopRiteStores, I recently purchased 2 14oz cans of Bowel & Basket sweetened condensed milk for a recipe my kids are using to make fudge. Found out when the recipe went sideways that the cans actually contain 11.5oz, not 14 as advertised. Labelling issue?

@ShopRiteStores DM sent.

@ericplent Thank you for reaching out, Eric. Please send us a DM including your Price Plus Card number, date of purchase, store location, and additional product details (such as UPC, expiration date, and lot code), so we can look into this.

I confirmed this by filling the empty can with water then pouring it in to a measuring cup. Full can = 11.5 oz of liquid. What is the best way to resolve this?

@AndroidAuth None of this is surprising. Apple is going to do it their way, to the detriment of Android. I will bet they will never fully implement it for cross platform messaging because they don't want to. Same story, different year.

Apple is finally testing RCS encryption, but there’s a catch for Android users androidauthority.com/apple-testing-…

@flaneurUK @HP Those things were bulletproof. I had an HP LaserJet 4P years that I bought in 1990. Sold it (still working) some time around 2010 because I needed a combo unit with a scanner. Great product.

Oh no! My circa 25 year old HP 1300 LaserJet has died. End of an era. It’s served me well. @HP

@sashstats Order it in person. Odds are you will get more for your money. In my experience, take out orders are frequently shorted.

I am craving chipotle again omfg

@Fastoolie @NjTank99 @NJTRANSIT Sounds like things are off to a fantastic start. Seeing this kind of thing going on makes me realize just how much I don't miss commuting on NJ Transit to NYC.

I’m about to go full @NjTank99 on @NJTRANSIT. How about you fucking idiots at least make sure your ticker boards in Secaucus Junction match the website, that match WHERE THE TRAINS ARE PULLING UP TO. Or even here’s another thought, your stupid fucking folding signs that read “Trains To Penn Station Here”, MAYBE TRY MAKING your worthless employees who cry for more money every year put the fucking sign in front of the right track. Just a few fucking ideas that may help, since this is only DAY FUCKING 1 of the next month.
