    - honestly, I would tell people to pay off the other one first -- nm - decline May 5, 12:34 1
      - yes, but he's already taken a *401k loan*. Reversing that decisionmaking is more important than the interest payments. -- nm - Max May 5, 12:39

  - Ahh, so still available to over 18s, just like cigarettes, but keeping the kids away. I'm cool with that. -- nm - ty97 May 5, 12:47 1
    - No, it's more than that. It regulates all the devices and the juice. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 12:56
  - It is seriously unregulated and many of the custom flavors are using chemicals not meant to be ingested in that way. - nic to be determined May 5, 12:20 1
    - I agree that there needs to be regulations I just think what they're doing is too much. - Krusty May 5, 12:24
- only for under-18 - mr. sassafras jeans May 5, 12:14 3
  - And effectively putting a lot of vape shops out of business, unless I"m reading it wrong. - JaxSean May 5, 12:16 2

        It would be great if someone could come up with a test to show more than if it's just in your system. There needs to be a way to know - Krusty May 5, 12:05 1

  - i like those two songs but would pick almost any other song on "So" to listen to first -- nm - mr. sassafras jeans May 5, 11:46 2
    - if we are going So-specific, i think it's Don't Give Up. -- nm - Andie May 5, 11:52 1

Hey NYCers. If I have a meeting until 5 at 452 5th Ave, can I get to Newark or LGA and get on a flight by 6:45? - spamlet May 5, 11:33 31
- LGA is the better bet. Take the F on 6th ave to the Q70 at Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Ave -- nm - ty97 May 5, 12:05 3
  - just read below, I hadn't checked address to see you were near 42nd. Yeah, do the 7 instead of the F. - ty97 May 5, 12:09 1
    - Thanks for the help as well. -- nm - spamlet May 5, 12:15
  - (You'll be at LGA by 6, possibly sooner) -- nm* - ty97 May 5, 12:06
- 50/50 at best. I just got in. Traffic sucked at mid-day. It can be done, but if things don't go pretty perfectly it may not work out. -- nm - pmb May 5, 11:54
- Not easy, but doable. -- nm - znufrii May 5, 11:52
- MTA trip planner says it'll take a hour and 11 minutes to Newark -- (link*) - decline May 5, 11:40
- The Newark Airport Bus leaves from right near there -- nm - Roger More May 5, 11:40 3
  - But the tunnel is a nightmare at that hour. -- nm - ty97 May 5, 12:06
  - a surprising amount of people also don't know about LAX's similar service -- nm - con_carne May 5, 11:48
  - Good call and a good option if you can get on one quickly. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 11:42
- NANY, but if your meeting was in the airport parking lot I'd assume your chances were 50/50. -- nm* - Ender May 5, 11:38
- I think you'll be fine. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 11:37 10
  - With traffic I think it'll be about an hour or so to get there. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 11:38 9
    - Thanks. Google says 50 minutes to LGA by 7/bus or taxi but wasn't sure if that was actually doable. -- nm - spamlet May 5, 11:46 8
      - I think you might be better off taking a cab to LGA. The bus there really sucks and is packed. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 11:49 7
        
        Ty and Dawson would know better but I remember that bus not being a fun ride. -- nm* - Krusty May 5, 11:50 6
        
        That's good to know. It looks like there's a local bus and an express (Q70/Q72)? -- nm - spamlet May 5, 11:54 5
        
        Q70 (assuming you are not going to Terminal A. But that only Delta flight to ORD and DCA) -- nm - ty97 May 5, 12:09 1
        
        Yeah, it would be AA from LGA. -- nm - spamlet May 5, 12:14
        
        Email Ty and he'll give you the best answer. Too bad you're not able to hang around for a little while. :-( -- nm - Krusty May 5, 11:57 2
        
        I'm trying to see if I can swing a class where I'd have one night there but the flights out are 6:45 or 9:30. - spamlet May 5, 12:03 1
        
        I hope it happens. I'd love to hang out for even a couple of hours. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 12:07
- (And I'm not afraid of public transport if that makes a difference) -- nm - spamlet May 5, 11:37
- not a NYer, but I would assume no chance in Hell -- nm - Beaker May 5, 11:36 1
  - it's a tight fit, fo sho -- nm - mr. sassafras jeans May 5, 11:37
- I wouldn't try it to either airport in rush-hour traffic. -- nm - Diva May 5, 11:36 2
  - My gf got to JFK yesterday in 45 minutes at rush hour. She took the train and said it was nice and easy. I thought she'd be late. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 11:40 1
    - Though that's a better trip than to LGA which makes you take a local bus. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 11:51
- is the flight leaving at 6:45 or is that when boarding closes? -- nm - mr. sassafras jeans May 5, 11:35 1
  - Leave by 6:45 -- nm - spamlet May 5, 11:36

- 2,3,7,9 - prayformojo May 5, 11:38
- I hate all of the non-Prince songs. -- nm - MDH May 5, 11:36 1
  - I only like Mike Posner's song, which is the most ironic hit song in a long time. -- nm - Tim May 5, 11:48
