Any tips on getting transport from JFK to hotels in New York?
Going to be in USA in December and just been told transfers are not in the holiday package (I didn't book so not my fault, but i'm trying to solve)
Seen several websites where i can pre-book a "taxi" but any tips from my frequent US travellers

Just started a gym membership and looking at Getting back into Kung Fu training again in my free time.
Im going from my bed to my kitchen, and bringing coffee with me as I make multiple trips back and forth - No plans , On call, and no invites this year, per usual, I enjoy the solitary Holidays that I get to just hang out in the quiet.
Probably still gonna make the food and have a friend or 2 over, but that's about it.

why do you all eat turkeys on TG?
Absolutely no idea.
the way it was explained to me in the unorthodox public school system was because when the pilgrims came, they saw turkeys upon arriving.
Christopher Colombus would have the natives do "favors" which then turned into "do it, or die." scenarios. mostly including turkey. Then on the third Thursday of November its rumored that they pilgrims invited these natives to eat with them, and what was prepared was (you guessed it) another turkey.
So it became tradition through blood,threats and violence to eat a turkey in honor of an evil man who "discovered" this "untouched" Land, and then tortured the natives of this land until they did what he wanted.
We're supposed to be Thankful for what we have in this world, without people acknowledging the fact that This holiday is tainted with the blood of the Native Americans, who were told " to Be thankful for the discovery of this land"

I didn't say it was recent... I was saying that very little original comes out... and that was the last that I can currently recall being what I considered truly original.
then there ya go.
There was trolls that came out (which was a remake of the smurfs with a twitst)
then there was the Minions ..
all kid's movies.
Trolls? wasn't that based on the Troll dolls from the 80's? which might have been a brainchild of the surfs back then....
i have no idea... You forget I wasn't around back then .'
LOL - wasn't really asking you.. more the ether -
regardless, I'm slightly to young to remember anything before 2000
i dont even remember you dressing up as darth maul and fighting me with light sabers in my front yard in '98.. only reason I know that is cause your wife reminds me with pictures all the time. LOLIf you dressed as Darth Vader, you could have started a Volkswagen with your mind.
the power of the force does not come from dressing up as Darth Vadar.. It comes from Within... I can start a Volkswagen with my mind as it is now (if I owned one and had the key fob LOL)
You could have started an old bug by pushing it....not even really fast
pop the clutch
the karate kid taught me that.

Picked up a new hobby/ bar game I enjoy playing on a more competitive level.

install virtual box via Chocolatey on my work PC
Why?
You are running Windows 10 Pro correct? Hyper-V is built in.
IIRC his boss was too cheap and bought home edition computers.
Yes - She bought the laptops as Windows 10 Home .
My work PC is still Windows 7.
I'm upgrading tonight after close.its windows 7 home premium as well... I just noticed that.
Still not a reasonable option in all reality. . .
nope..
This is what I was given when i arrived at the company though.. add that to the list as to why I've been networking and looking for a different job.

It can be my call if I decide that's what I want to do.
Gotcha, then yeah why deal with managing multiple work-spaces unless there was a critical need for it.
Just looked at my Laptop - There's no VGA.. Its HDMI .
I dont have a HDMI Monitor.. But I do have a HDMI to VGA adapter .Why the fuck would a laptop recently purchased have VGA in today's market. VGA is ancient tech and for use on much older systems.
Why the Fuck would we purchase something that can't be used ?
Your laptop has HDMI, your monitor does not. I'm assuming your employer is just playing at being at business. It's insane to have monitors that are VGA only. . . that's at least 8 year old equipment.
Our PC's we sell to customers dont' have HDMI so why would we need HDMI?
What does that have to do with the conversation about a recently purchased laptop and the technology that is in it?
The business purchased a laptop (have you ever looked at the current market for laptops, almost none are going to have VGA ports). Thus the business should purchase (it's employees, fuck the customer at this point) modern equipment to be used with their current laptops.
you're completely and blatantly missing the point.
The company wont buy anything they wont use to sell to a customer unless it's specifically asked for. because unlike 85% of ML - i work in a Customer Driven Industry.So the business ends up selling their own employees computers to customers after they've been used? Holy crap this place is bad. .
where did you come up with that?

wtf does that have to do with upselling employee computers to customers after use?
Because it's practically unheard of to sell equipment to a customer after it's been used for production for another business. Is the equipment sold as "Used" at least?
equipment isn't sold used.
these PC's came from inventory - as they were supposed to be sold to a customer.For "My" clarity and sanity, are they dedicated POS (no pun intended) systems that you sell?
we Sell Dedicated POS - Yes.
The PC's come from the vendor, we image them and then add the Terminals.
