Have you visited the other terminals as well? Are they significantly better and this is an outlier, or is this typical peak hours for jfk right now?

As a kid I was once driving back with my dad from a specialty lumber yard trip, where hed gone to pick up a ~1.5 ton, 40’ teak beam, with about 10’ hanging off the back, down low. Wed just gotten south of the city, and trafic was finally easing up, when he finally saw chance to get out of the middle lane, and went to take it.
So he threw on his right turn signal, and the guy in that lane immediately started accelerating to close the gap.
My dad just went for the switch anyway, Forcing the guy to drive off the road into the grass median ditch of lose his windshield to a massive piece of wood.All he said was “a turn signal is a signal of intent, not a request for permission.” And we kept driving.

I had to deal with the opposite once.
Was managing a bar where doing shots with customers was common. We also kept a bunch of leroux blackberry brandy in stock that was common for this (a tradition dating back 30 years)One of the bartenders refilled an empty bottle with robitussin, becauae he was sick, and was shooting that instead when he did shots.
A server then snagged thay bottle and a couple of shot glasses to pour some shots tableside for a group, and then accused the bartender of dosing him on lean. (Promethazine and roxycodone)

My friends mom has been trying the opposite- shes trying to avoid buying any plastic packaged food. Not so much out of concern for microplastics, but as a way to reduce her environmental impact.
Its also helped her eat much healthier- most candy is out, all her veggies are fresh instead of frozen, fresh meats instead of prepackaged ones, etc.

On of my friends gfs did that back in the day.
The crew was going to a local punk concert, and she was generally a bit more straight laced.
So we were all a bit surprised when she showed up in a red wig, and leather, and said her name was Jackie. We were joking about her maybe thinking we all had 'punk names… that we just all used all the time because we were always dressed a bit punk.
We all go back to the house most of them relived at to crash, and wake up in the morning to them fighting, and her accusing him of sleeping with Jackie. And him being like ‘I thought it was just a bit of role play!’
He goes into the bathroom, and she comes out to the kitchen and wete all just like, really, we all knew it was you the whole time… also your tattoo was showing…

Idk about the forensics part. Were probably talking strychnine back then, which os pretty obvious because it causes muscle spasms and people to contort up and stiffen up pretty unaturally.

Generally, when looking at a vertical representation of horizontal space, we think of the top as further away from the viewer, and the bottom as closest (think the graphics on your stove letting you know which know goes to which burner… the back burners are the top ones, and the fronts are the bottom.
The only reason to have the faucet appear as closer and ypur hands as farther away is to intentionally make it loom dirty…
…Unless this graphic is telling you to stand on the far side of the basin and wash someone else’s hands for them.

I was thinking no fatal but feel able. Seems like I was way overestimating the ability of sweat as a saline solution conductor to pull power away from the pole and create a shock on the bits below though.
- Comment on Home renovations 1 month ago:
I think there is potential for some non lethal zapping if done right (one terminal to the poles other to ground)
Your skin is where most of the body’s resistance is, and electrocution / shock can occur at much lower voltages if applied internally/ to a cut.
There’s an urban legend about a navy Electrical engineer stopping his heart by trying to measure his internal resistance with a voltmeter- he stabbed one probe into each of his thumbs and the portion of a single volt the meter uses to test resistance going across his heart was enough to cause afib.
Now, with pole dancing, theres some potential, for a sweaty bikini to make contact with both an electrified pole and the interior of the dancer’s labia, conducting enough electricity to impart a noticeable shock.
No matter the voltage though, I think the main problem is the body being part of the least resistive, or any, path to ground. Unless the screws holding the bottom of the pole also protruded through the downstairs neighbor’s ceiling, and you run the negative wire out your window and into theirs, connecting both ends of the pole to the battery…

A friend of mine got addicted to heroin in highschool. He bought 200 btc when it crashed down to $2 in 2012, and shortly after, his parents sent him to rehab for a month, and hid his computer somewhere on the farm, never to be seen again.
When it was worth around $10m we searched the entire premises, with no luck.

Call the fire dept and say youre concerned it might be blocking those exiting the building, (especially the handicapped) from clearing the area of a potential fire in a safe and orderly fashion.
I did this once when my neighbors landscapers parked blocking in my front door, despite me catching them at stand asking them not to park on the yellow line, when I needed to get my mom to a post-op checkup (making that the only viable door as I had to carry hwr down the stairs, and the back is 2 flights compared to a half)
Not only was the fire dept there in like 5 mins, they had a bunch of guys flip the truck over to roll it out from between cars on either side, they broke the windows to throw a tow strap through the cab, dragged it upside down out into a place the wrecker could get it, and pulled it upside down onto the flatbed.
Then they helped me get my mom down the stairs as a bonus. Extra bonus was they landscapers tried to sue the homeowner for the loss of the truck over their refusal to provide offscreen parking (my street fills up despite the town’s requirement for adequate onstreet parking intended for workers like landscapers)
They ended up dropping the neighbors house, which due to the publicity got them on every landscaper in town’s blacklist. The inability to get landscapers ended up making the house no longer atractive enougb for short term rentals, first replaced by a long term rental, and eventually they sold, and now there’s a real, working class family there!

My town requires a certain amount of onstreet parking be alotted based on number of houses on a road. Iirc it works out to about one car length per 3 houses. I live on a narrow one way road, (parking only on the right hand side, but houses on both sides- the road is too narrow so a driveway on the left becomes inaccessible with a car parked across it on the right) that has now hit its maximum on non parking areas, which has started to have an interesting effect; one house was demoed and rebuilt with a garage included. They were not allowed to have the driveway open onto our road, as that would necessitate a yellow line in front of it, and ended up having to spend ~$1M to buy access rights to connect through the neighbor on the other side’s property.
There are currently 2 lots that could in theory be subdivided with new houses on them, that currently cannot be approved for building, because adding even one house would create the need for one new, impossible to eke out, on-street spot (even if they had a driveway, its about required parking for home service industries, guests, etc)

I live in a state that has a rule that essentially all ‘outdated’ laws that use gender are updated to be gender neutral.
A couple years ago, someone pointed out this caused a bit of a problem in our beachside town, as technically the town bylaw that prevented women from sunbathing/ swimming topless, now read 'All people are banned from having exposed breasts and ripples in public, with a 75$ minimum fine. (Including men)
The two women who brought this to town meaning proposed a simple update, strike the old rule, and replace without everyone can be topless around the beach, but must be covered up down town. After all, its was 2023, and the Puritans had gone extinct as a religion 280 years ago.
This sparked a hilarious 2 hours of public comments.
My favorite was one lady getting up and being apoplectic about the thought of having to explain breasts to her grandsons and appealing to everyones sense of modesty. Her friend then got up, and was just like ‘didnt I run into you on <whatever foreign vacation resort laazt winter? Not only were you topless, your bikini was so small your hoohah was falling out all over the place!’
People kept forgetting the ‘no gender words’ thing, so theyd propose a rule to sneak around the gender issue, that read something like ‘no person may expose female nipples’, and the town councilor would very dryly read that back to them as "in practice that law would read “no person my expose human nipples”. All you’ve done is shift liability if someone helps another take their shirt off.
At one point, someone got smart with, “no Non-Dormant human sexual reproductive organs may be exposed in public” (meaning men’s breasts were okay)
Town council thought about it for a minute, and just said “that sounds an awful lot like 'youre allowed to sit on a bench down town, fully naked, as long as you dont get an erection.” "More seriously though, while that law doesnt fail the test outright, it is most guaranteed to get hit lawsuit and struck down before we ever get to beach season. "
On bro got up and claimed if the town took away his right to hop into his topless jeep, shirtless, to go on a beer run, he’d ‘take the law into his own hands, every day it was sunny out.’ Madame Moderator, as she prefers to be called, countered with “well then…” and “I believe i spea k for the entire town, when say I sincerely hope you never grasp any part of the law!”
Eventually we settled with “all people may be topless on public property within <town name> except where prohibited for reasons of sanitation or saftey” boring, but a win. I still have yet to see anyone topless outside of the nude beach. Well, Besides a coue female friends who lgo skinny-dipping whenever we have a night-time beach party, but the old laws werent exactly stopping them before, either.
