Isn't that the recent MTA derailment that happened right by my house? That's my local NY train that I used to ride.

@nadnerB so how's the new law?

Well,

there aren't any riots
It's not front page news
most people have no idea what it means
The world is still spinning

The ISP's apparently aren't ready for it... lol, cupcakes. Probably just trying to save face.

I'll have to ask a buddy that lives there what he thinks.

Why is he not on here?

I only speak to him on weekend generally being 12 hours time difference and I haven't spoken to him yet to see if he'd be interested.

They are only still here because of safety labels and over zealous OH&S (Occupational health & safety) which I think is getting to be more OH & BS )
