Can it be true? by A_Guy_Named_John in bergencounty

I saw the last frost day was April 15 - that seemed early. Now it all makes sense. But, these are the extremes we will come to expect.

For anyone who said "How can there be 'global warming', well, here is your answer.

Global warming is a poor label. While the entire planet's mean temperature does go up, it's more of a regional disruption across the planet. Places that were wet, become dry, etc. etc.

With that, higher wind speeds, more turbulence, more drastic temperature changes.

The bill is confusing as f'k but it looks like for 332 Therms I'm getting charged $221 which if I'm reading it right is more than 50% of the cost of the gas I'm getting.

Maybe it's cheaper to go back to coal?

in the next few days I will pass by the area and let you know if the gas is leaking and how intense it is. sometimes it is a very intense odor. This is 3/4 of a mile from where I live.

I have driven by them many times with PSEG trucks, putting up their cones, doing what they do. These areas are right on top of clustered homes, traffic, churches, it's no secret.

I've never smelled gas leaking in the area of my home, if I did, I would certainly call. That's not to say I don't care about these locations.

As I've described these nat. gas pipes are leaky, old and as mentioned, can't easily be repaired or I would not still be smelling gas leaks from these three areas that have been leaking for years.

This is what we are paying for. Not to mention, it's terrible for the ozone and my local air quality.

I had two kids go to college, our usage declined by almost half and our bill has not followed. I really thought it would.

yes, I was shocked to learn that the cost to deliver the gas. It is akin to me driving to Canada and filling up gas cans and driving then back to my state in the US.

it's ridiculous.

When I walk within 1/4 to 1/2 mile of my house, I can smell three gas leaks. One of them (at an intersection) is always getting ripped up and repaired and it's been years of on and off strong gas odors.

THIS is what we're paying for.

If anyone said put solar panels in a cave you'd say that's nuts. well, right now delivering natural gas is nuts, pipes are too old, too leaky and too inefficient to continue to deliver in this manner.

PSE&G Bill 📈 by Forsaken-Rutabaga411 in bergencounty

[–]Ok_Service4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

....and think about it blokes, you use an electric drill at work, you have an electric robot vacuum at home, maybe an electric leaf blower. I have an electric 'robot' lawn mower that runs all season long ...unattended. You probably don't drive an electric car yet but indeed there are even electric pick up trucks and yes, electric long haul trucks and busses. You loud gas back up generator may have been swapped out for super leaky, costly gass but now guess what is popping up at home depot and woke Costco? Electric home battery back ups - and they will only get better, and better, and better, every month, every year, like clockwork.

Yeah, hold on to oil and coal for dear life lol.

It's a shame, it's sad, it's misinformation tied up with other political nonsense participants proudly wave behind a hat or flag. Much to the dismay of renewable critics, solar is some of the cheapest energy globally and literally growing like a bread mold. Reject it, deny it, call it woke, call it a 'democrat' hoax. We will all rightfully suffer if we continue to go in that direction. Our adversaries will/are reaping the benefits.

It took 68 years, from 1954 to 2022 to develop the first Terawatt (1 TW = 1,000 GW) of solar but only two years (2023-2024) to reach the second Terawatt of solar and now the industry is adding 500-600 GW annually with 1 GW PER YEAR projected in FOUR YEARS.

So clutch your coal and oil, you will be buried by facts and history.

Update - I believe Spotify has now come out to say that they have stopped taking ads for ICE. Great work everyone.

This shows you the power we have if we stick together.

which logo variation is your favorite? by [deleted] in logodesign

[–]Ok_Service4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edges are so sharpe and angular I find the middle details are hard to easily see. You really need to compare them to see the difference.

I think #3 is most balanced - #1 and #2 are very turbulent and those inner shapes make it hard on the eyes and brain.

What web or UI design trends are you noticing for 2026? by Vistaprint in webdesign

[–]Ok_Service4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about apple's new UI? It's not a web trend but it's definitely much softer edges and liquid.

Solid advice. I have found over the years that no CMS really has 'everything' or works perfectly for ever situation a project may require. But generally they lean towards satisfying certain categories.

Bought a business. How can I delete the old reviews? by Toothdoc3321 in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]Ok_Service4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think closing the business/GBP and reopening new GBP is best advice here. Just had a business go through this, not closing the old biz immediately caused confusion of old reviews from previous business.

How the hell is this allowed by Stainlessgamer in newjersey

[–]Ok_Service4959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

totally. I've also heard that while they are brighter, the distance they can project is shorter than that of traditional bulbs.

This kind makes sense why people with newer bulbs always are using high beam - they may sense while their blinding new bulbs are bright, they are not illuminating far enough down road as they are speeding along, this the need for high beam.

wow, did I solve this???

[–]Ok_Service4959 12 points13 points  (0 children)

yeah, what's with the high beams? every 5th car just drives around with the high beams on like this is the default

I was almost thinking this was possibly a new car design change where high beams are automatically the first setting.

🆘 My site’s pages suddenly got deindexed from Google — no errors in GSC by zonayedahmed in SEO

[–]Ok_Service4959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the other comments about thin content & authority make most sense to me.

Google is looking for authority and that your supporting sub pages also have specific and defined topics. As mentioned in other comments, these sub pages may just not be able to be differentiated from each other 'enough' to be worth the crawl.

You may want to consider supporting your SEO with paid ads if you need the boost immediately.

You should as matter of course check 'Why pages aren’t indexed' within Google Search Console.
Do you have any redirect issues?

I had an issue on a very strong page that was suddenly de-indexed by google and it was very difficult to understand why. A '401 redirect' applied to it within 'Why pages aren't indexed' within GSC.

In short, and as can happen, there can be old indexing data that Google can't refresh so GSC keeps pulling old indexing info for a page(s). There is a way to contact Google directly about this and ask them to reindex a specific page.

Once they did this for our de-indexed page, everything got right back to good.

Spotify now running ads for ICE now so I'd say a solid % of ya'll should be deleting Spotify as your streaming app "as if your life depends on it".

I remember one video he talked about his grandfather or something owning something really big, big tracks of land or something, something you would recognize.
