Getting to rural Pennsylvania is hard, but going to London is trivial. It's just different.
I've oft wondered if life wouldn't be simpler without the need to purchase a car. Take my case... our car payment is ~430 a month (it's a bigger car), insurance on the car is ~$150 a month. Gas is another $150 a month (high estimate).
So we're looking at $730 a month just for the car. Would having a taxi drive us every where run up $730 in a single month for mostly local travel?
Dunno. I should call and ask what the local rates are.
NYC has Uber too. Pretty cheap just live in a decent area otherwise you won't get picked up after a certain time of night.

We often go without a car when living abroad. It is very nice. So free to have no car to worry about. I love the lifestyle of walking to the store. In Panama City, you can go anywhere in the city for $3. Takes a LOT to add up to the cost of owning a car, for example. NYC is a lot more, but the cost of a car is a lot more too.
NYC is a lot more like Europe in that way. In much of Europe you can easily do without a car. Lots of people still drive, but by choice, not out of necessity.
And you rarely need a taxi, that's the big difference. And of teh time that you want a taxi, of they are the same. I want to go to the bar I need a taxi in both cases, so owning the car doesn't help.

I'm ready for Thursday.... we put 8.5lbs of brisket in the brine last night for corned beef. There will also be cabbage and potatoes, as is the custom of my people. And whiskey.

A local Irish pub serves them, and since I have a chef neighbor, ideas get stolen and made at home sometimes.

It's been about two hours... but Ordered a ReadyNAS 314 and a UPS for it to sit on. Should be here Thursday. I'll be retiring the single drive NAS and some free floating hard drives with this.. Should be fun.

Shitting it...SCCM decided to be stupid (and I didn't think about it) and decided to try and install windows on the wrong drive...it decided to try install on the 2TB drive containing the users videos etc (in design) rather than the new 256GB SSD...I know, I should have unplugged it all before I started...but yeah.
F*CK
