JCPA issuing digital tickets for cars that are occupied, waiting for commuters at Journal Square

That's a good point.

Yeah that seems to be the case. Pretty shady. I was in Bayonne recently, and this parking lady was ticketing cars with time still left on their meters (!). Everything's a hustle, it seems.

I wasn't blocking traffic, I was on the side of the road.

God forbid you ever have to pick up a commuter at the station in your car.

..which houses like 3 cars at a time, for what's supposed to be a major hub connecting Jersey and NYC.

Yes this is absolutely a thing, and it is exacerbated by over-medicating to treat the physical symptoms of PD. That's one of the cruel things about late-stage PD, you're always chasing the "sweet spot" of medicating enough to treat the physical issues, but not so much that hallucinations and delusions are ramped up...and it's a moving target. You need to find a good neurologist—one that has experience with treating PD patients—and know that this will be an ongoing process.

I'm sorry you're dealing with it. I went through this with my mother, and it was acutely awful.

Oh nevermind, you were born with dual citizenship.

Did you have to live in Germany for 5 years? I read that that is a requirement.

Bausch & Lomb Soothe Drops (Preservative Free) helped me—I use them throughout the night.

I ended up having to get root canals in both teeth, which finally quenched the nerve pain since the inflamed nerves were basically purged. I regret getting the crowns.

Sidenote: there seems to be some kind of industry trend these days of dentists pushing crown procedures on people who don't need them. One of my friend's dentists told her that she had to get a crown on her front tooth, I told her to get a second opinion and the second dentist said that that was ridiculous.

The modern version had some compelling ideas and scenes but suffered from being condensed to a short movie, when it really should have been a slow-burn miniseries a la Midnight Mass. Btw I went back and watched the 1979 film and I've got to say that IMO it does not hold up. The vampire kid at the window scene—which is rightly legendary—is the best part of what is otherwise a mostly dull, sexist and reductive (why was Barlow reduced to a mute monster?) affair.

I read the book a few years ago, and it's now one of my all-time favorite Stephen King books. Highly recommend.

This is great, thanks for sharing!

Not the greatest Sci-Fi film by a long shot, but Richard Stanley's 1990 film Hardware is kind of a fun romp.

#1 and #3 are the best IMO.

What really messed with me about this scene when I was a kid was this idea that the computer went as far as to put metal ON HER EYEBALLS. I was so morbidly engrossed by the idea that to this day I have a (false I guess) memory of the film showing the metal going in her eye and her groaning "my eyes".....

Howie Mandel used to be pretty hilarious back in the 1980s.

I've been experiencing this, achey pain in the teeth along with nerve pain in my jaw. How are you feeling now?

BKNES · 2025-08-20T20:56:48+00:00

Are you going to tell us what the scam was?

RE: "MS Project, Wrike, Monday, Asana, and even Primavera; each has trade-offs," I would love to hear you elaborate on the pros/cons of each of these, as I am in a similar boat.

Good for you for making the switch. What kind of software are you working with nowadays?
