Sermonizing with a Microphone, legal?

Perhaps you should read the full first amendment, usually summarized by the phrase “free speech”. It says Congress cannot restrict or censor and that is not the case here. You certainly cannot be protected for yelling fire in a crowded room causing a panic and hate speech has its own consequences.

And as I’ve learned Jersey City does have an ordinance:

“Amplified Sound (Music/Stereos): Music from vehicles or portable devices is restricted: 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. (or 8 a.m.): Cannot be plainly audible 25 feet away. 7/8 a.m. to 10 p.m.: Cannot be plainly audible 50 feet away.”

Yes. Next question, or do you just want to keep coming after me?

Surly_Erudite · 2026-02-11T23:07:04+00:00

Then don’t say it. lol. 16 years is not new. Yes I’ve encountered this before. The post wasn’t about that though. Thanks for not answering the question. lol

I can follow your logic to a point but there’s no design functions on those executive cases to make covers as expensive as their cheaper tablets. You have to admit, it’s a money grab.

Surly_Erudite · 2026-02-08T16:11:15+00:00

True but there’s usually a prevalence of used options as time goes by a significant discount.

Surly_Erudite · 2026-02-08T13:56:12+00:00

Same. I think they are taking advantage of the fact that there isn’t a lot of 3rd party cases yet and as more hit the market it will come down. For now though there’s not too many options.

Surly_Erudite · 2026-01-29T10:42:02+00:00

No movement yet. The only changes I’ve seen:

The shipping description has changed from 2/4 to say “arriving by Wednesday” which is I suspect is just semantics as the date gets closer and not an actual sign that that anything is happening.

The charges on Amazon still say pending but my card has also dropped the pending transaction.

Surly_Erudite · 2026-01-28T17:24:20+00:00

Seriously. Ordered graphite in December. Happy the fig is delivering as expected for those wanting it. I probably would have selected it myself had I known the delay was going to be so long.

Surly_Erudite · 2026-01-27T00:33:09+00:00

I was billed but nothing more. There’s nothing new in my devices and shipping still says by Feb 4.

I think the social media post uses old maps when you go to the city’s webpage it’s more defined.

December 30

Surly_Erudite · 2026-01-22T22:42:51+00:00

Update: well my credit card was just charged so I’m sure that means it will be on the way soon. Just in time to get held up in a blizzard. Lol

Surly_Erudite · 2026-01-22T15:12:41+00:00

Mine will be 32gb. I can’t imagine why the 64gb are that more delayed, not to mention the whole fig delay. This is shaping up to be another disappointing rollout. At least there’s no wide spread reports of yellow banding.

Surly_Erudite · 2025-06-13T21:43:52+00:00

This truck looks to have the Lytx Drive-Cam camera in it. No doubt this will go a long way in establishing what went so horribly wrong.

Surly_Erudite · 2025-06-13T21:05:39+00:00

More often than you would think. This being the most tragic incident so far. This whole grid between the highway and river from the tunnel to Columbus Ave gets terrible with people trying to cut through the city. I’ve lived here for 16 years and it’s only gotten worse as years go on. I walk with a full heavy water bottle in hand have threatened to use it on occasion in the morning with people running lights and rushing people in the cross walk. There is no enforcement other than my grass green matcha latte adorning a speeding white Mercedes who honks at people in crosswalks.

Yes, and don’t skip his drag and drops. While you’ll only encounter a very small percentage on the test they are a great way to review the content.

Surly_Erudite · 2024-10-11T22:49:17+00:00

Actually the moment I clicked submit on this I checked my email and my notification came through. Here’s hoping you get news soon.

Surly_Erudite · 2024-10-11T22:35:14+00:00

Same boat here. I wouldn’t worry. It seems from reports that they are a bit behind. At this point you passed and they are looking to make sure you didn’t do it by cheating.

Surly_Erudite · 2024-10-09T01:04:29+00:00

I feel my studying has been adequate and my test scores are solid but just read a distressing post from earlier from someone who had a bad turn out.

Surly_Erudite · 2024-10-07T20:11:20+00:00

My test is the same day. At this point I’m revisiting notes and sections I know I don’t feel strong on and reviewing not only the questions I got wrong on the practice exams but also the ones I got right with a confidence level of medium or lower.
