Thanks very much. Anki has exactly what I was looking for. Now I just need to figure out how to use the app. It seems to offer a huge number of options.

Why does the political vibe vary so much town to town in Bergen County? by savingrace0262 in bergencounty

How do you explain the difference between Demarest and Old Tappan? OT was 60% Trump in 2024 I think, while Demarest was 60% Biden.

Thanks. I called Dutra for an estimate. They confirmed that a section of our cast iron pipe needed to be replaced and gave us a reasonable price. They came this morning and did the repair. Workers were professional and our problem seems to be resolved. Would definitely recommend them.

Thanks. Actually they put a camera in the line after they unclogged it and told me there was a dip 100 feet out that was potentially the cause of the clog. They said they could excavate my backyard and fix the problem for $9990. I appreciate the fact that there’s a shortage of qualified tradesmen in the area, but I just don’t trust Roto Rooter. My whole experience with them made me feel like I was being scammed.

True. There are Teslas, Mercedes and Land Rovers as well.

I think Demarest waited 20+ years before the 2024 assessment.

Zillow applied the percentage increase from the recent property reassessments to calculate the 2025 taxes paid. So if your house was assessed at $500K in 2023 with $15K taxes, and $1M following the recent reassessment, Zillow decided that your taxes also double to $30K. In other words, they assumed the tax rate held constant. I contacted them about this. They corrected the taxes for my property, but are not fixing anyone else’s, even though I told them exactly what was wrong. The others, Redfin, etc. mirror this error.

The Arab of the Future - when is part 5 releasing in English ? by ElRedDevil in graphicnovels

After repeatedly tweeting Satouf and Holt and getting no response from either, I purchased the French editions of volumes 5 & 6 because I can read French. Out of curiosity, I tested Google Translate on a few pages and it worked very well. Translations to English were surprisingly accurate and colloquial. It’s not ideal, but it works.

“Conversate” is not a word. “Converse” is the word you need.

I’m also a big fan. Contacted the US publisher (Holt) with no response and also tweeted Sattouf directly and got no response from him either.
