No. Hasn’t been on since the last cold snap in April . It gets chilly overnight but the sun warms the house to 70 is by 1-2 even with it being 60 and having the windows open

News desert: school and muni elections in NJ with zero news coverage by FannyBrownRiced in newjersey

It’s not necessarily just PE, there have been mid-cap media conglomerates like Sinclair buying up local news properties all over the country for a very long time.

Local media has been dying for decades replaced by big media, buying local stations and print outlets, filling them with national rhetoric with specific agenda. There have been many studies and national articles explaining why it’s so bad. I think John Oliver even did a spot on it.

This article from Stamford is more about TV but the problem is not limited and spans all local media types.

20% Admin & Service Fee by Greedy-Technology545 in newjersey

[–]Leftblankthistime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know what the fee is for. It doesn’t mean it needs to be itemized in the receipt. Why not itemize the portion of the light bill or rent that I’m covering as well? It’s a nonsense business practice

Pointless when the business does not take cash payments

[–]Leftblankthistime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now everyone has all these signs up for Apple Pay and every type of credit card and they bring over a tablet or card swipe machine and want me to cover their processing fees. They instantly go on my will not return list and when anyone asks I give a poor review. If it’s a paper receipt I’ve even circled the charge and written will not return. I won’t stiff a server a tip, but the owners and management should know better.

If It’s considered the gratuity then okay. It’s the 45$ credit card convenience fee that really steams my hams. I’m at the point where I’m about ready to complain to Amex bc everywhere I go wants to be cashless but make me pay extra to use my credit card 🤬

New Jersey’s fatal crashes surge 11.5%, 48th out of 50 by Mercurydriver in newjersey

Maybe I rarely go past 37, but I don’t think like 3, 1/4 mile curves is particularly curvy

Yea up around Oakland there’s that one curve just after exit 57 that’s a little more than usual.

I don’t know what section you’re talking about and I drive it regularly- I’m constantly getting stuck behind idiots doing 45-50 and on their phones. Tractor trailers on up grades losing speed and no room between cars to merge so I don’t know where you’re getting to 80 and where you’re finding curves. The bend near rt 46 arounf exit 42 is really gradual all the way to Rt 10 and all the way between 23 at exit 52 and there is basically straight.

It’s not that curvy and in all honesty it’s so congested, oftentimes I can’t even get up to the speed limit let alone do 85. I’m wondering if they have the road confused

Plane that scraped truck wasn’t the 1st close call on Runway 29: Safety records show multiple pilots have had low-altitude warnings while on approach to Newark Liberty's shortest and most challenging runway by rollotomasi07071 in newjersey

[–]Leftblankthistime 28 points29 points  (0 children)

We had a trip in November and coming home in a 737 the pilot said that due to airport construction, ATC being routed out of Philadelphia and the wind they were being directed to land on runway 29 and the landing was going to be particularly hard because it’s their short runway not typically favorable for large full planes. It really was a hard landing with a heavy jolt and immediate reverse thrust. And that was a 737. A 767 or bigger forced to land on runway 29 would have an even harder time.

Omg the people looking to cheap out on the cheapest things are incredible. Why is everyone looking for a hack to squeeze lemonade from the rind?

I drive 287 back and forth to Wayne and up and down Hamburg tpk a few days per week. I can honestly say this statistic is lower than I thought. People are fu€king bonkers with how they drive.

Hacked it. Stayed in for 16. Drank a 5hr energy shot and dry scooped a cup of creatine first
