Im in Chicago, and it’s basically giant protests by code pink and the gay liberation army. Calling for trump to be arrested and also Raytheon to be dismantled. I left after they started shouting
“China will destroy us. we must start a revolution now in America against the capitalists” “stop funding Ukraine”
Although we have the freedom to gather for protests I think everyone needs to chill out on all sides and stop with the non sense riots and hate rhetoric.
Only one side will be on the news, but holy shit this hate needs to stop.

I lived on the red line in 98-00 I thought it was fantastic, I don’t think I had a single issue the whole time I was there. The only funny T story I had was when I was visiting we got out of the wrong T station and asked a cop for directions to the aquarium, he told us to go back in take the green line to park street then the orange line to the aquarium. We did that, 20m later we get out of the Orange line and can literally see the corner the cop told us to get back on the T. It was a 3 minute walk at best lol.

You need one power feed for each condenser; the heads get their power from the condenser. A condenser can support multiple indoor heads. In our house, we have 6 heads on 2 condensers, one at each end of the house, using one 240v pairs in the panel for each.

What killed this project initially was the inadequate intake for the trains at the terminals, massive new ROW needs, ctrail not having control over trackage, and the soil conditions under the sound. It was never a serious proposition.

One of the bigger issues you’re going to face with an old house is having enough power (available room in breaker panel) for multiple units.

LOL. I'm hoping those idiots go to NYC on Monday, get a hotel room, wait til Tuesday, then they don't indict til Friday. Meanwhile these idiots are paying $350 a night. Over and over.

The discussion is pointless because the project is doubtlessly DIA regardless of its worthiness.

This discussion is pointless. You can say you think it’s worth the cost and I can say I don’t think it’s worth the cost forever.

There was talk of Danbury extending to north to New Milford and also West to “Southeast” (if that isn’t confusing enough and connecting to Harlem line.
It takes 90 minutes to get to Manhattan from Danbury by car.
Train is like 2:15.
What else would people choose?

As bad as 95 and the Merritt are, consider how bad traffic would be if they didn't exist and all we had was Rt 1 with it's hundreds of intersections and traffic lights. Would you say that 95 and the Merritt justify the capital investment? Now consider upgrading rail in order to ease the congestion on those roads.

Fair. But the unprofitability isn’t the only point. Let’s just all establish that we’re on the same page that this “paying for itself” is definitely a fantasy. Even on an ongoing basis. Much less if one considers the capital investment.

It was a calculated move. Either he is arrested and then his followers’ persecution fetish is realized, or he isn’t arrested and his followers’ “look how powerful we and Trump are” fetish is realized.

Al Qaeda attacked NYC and DC on 9/11. Trump attacked DC on 1/6 and now wants to attack NYC on 3/21. No shock that both terrorists share the same targets.

The Inaugural ride would be such a cool thing to bring your kids to. If you don’t have kids, have some, and they can bring their kids to New York by train and tell them the story of how they said there’d be a tunnel under the Sound by then.

We used Harp two summers ago, cost us $12,000 for three wall units with the option of adding a fourth. Our place is only 1500 sqft though. And as mentioned, we had to upgrade our panel first, that was another $1000 or so.
