Oh interesting... So it's basically just an empty hole for a third prong?

Not that it matters in any way whatsoever, but what item did you come in contact with that actually shocked you? Was it coming in contact with the outlet piece itself or was it touching an item that was plugged into the outlet?

Give this guy a NYTimes OpEd. You nailed every aspect of this.
(also, user name checks out - probably a lot of visits to 33rd/MSG 😆)

This. Rabid raccoons. Hit and runs.
It’s like there’s a JC version of Cupid going around shooting people with arrows dipped in the Hudson.

PATH weekend and late night service is pathetic. I get that work has to be done, especially on NWK-WTC, but they are clearly using that as an excuse now to shaft the weekend riders. At the bare minimum, they need to separate the 33rd Street lines during the day on weekends. Those trains are downright dangerous. Also, my understanding is that the majority of the NWK-WTC work is between NWK and JSQ. If this is the case, I don't see why they can't run a JSQ-WTC train on 20 minute headways to complement the 20 minute headways on NWK-WTC (i.e. WTC bound trains would leave JSQ every 10 minutes, with every other one originating at JSQ)
There are also a bunch of small service decreases that took place during COVID and never were brought back. They increased the 33rd line Saturday headways from 10 minutes to 12 minutes, changed overnight from 35 minutes to 40 minute headways, and got rid of the 3 minute rush hour headways on NWK-WTC. Really awful stuff.
The overnight NJ bound Holland Tunnel closure has been all over the news recently. You would think that PA would think to supplement overnight PATH service since they are the ones closing the tunnel. Nope!

#1 their choice, not ours
#2 I avoid using Uber as much as possible, but if you forced me to, I would say their software seems to be broken, as it's not choosing the driver based on your destination
#3 Nah, I'll just not use Uber, but again, sounds like they shit is broken
#4 That's not solving anything

>This is all absolutely correct.
Haha, I love to see those words! Just to clarify for the crowd since obviously it's easy for unversed folks to get confused, you referred to 'MCC', meaning "metal clad cable". But there's at least 3 varieties we encounter.
1: Old steel armored cable, frequently called BX, though that was a brand name. It has no bonding strip and therefore is not legal to use as ground. Obviously not on the market anymore
2: 'AC cable', an industry term for steel armored cable with the bonding strip making it legal for grounding use
3: 'MC cable' armored in aluminum, which would make it not legal for grounding, so it comes with a green wire for ground, unlike AC. So a 12-2 MC cable has 3 conductors, black, white and green, same as a Romex (again name brand) or NM (non-metallic) cable
>I personally put ground pigtails in boxes to outlets/switches for added protection since paint on the outer part of boxes can act as an insulator. I don’t trust the contact a device will have with the box as grounding in these cases, and for $10 I don’t see why I would.
Better electricians pigtail everything, so if there's a receptacle failure it doesn't break the continuity, especially of the neutral, to the downstream boxes. Wago type push in connectors beat the hell out of wire nuts for this, and everything.

Where and how do you submit a public comment to the Port Authority?

I get it, but as someone who has complained about this for 30 years, I'm just tired of the shit already. I've done the path rider committee stuff even. I bitched about the lack of weekend and late night service. I bitched about the lack of trash cans. I bitched about the detour to Hoboken.
Nothing changed.
I guess they win, because I'm just too assed out to continue to spend this energy. Good luck to the rest of y'all, but unless I'm seeing a reddit link that says "click here, copy/paste this or something similar", man I'm just tired of trying to tilt the windmills.

I did the same. A good start! I am trying to figure out how to submit public comment to Port Authority. We're going to have to get loud.

You can blame the system or you can participate, I guess.

Right -- so Uber should not allow trips to be sent to/from there unless the driver has it.
An Uber problem.

Already stated my wisdom on the subject. Happens to all of them to YOU. I'm waiting 1-3 minutes or 3-8 minutes. Keep up. 🤷♂️
