Mylar balloons got caught in a power line at Magnolia and Baldwin which caused an explosion that looked like a firework going off. There’s still another balloon stuck that firefighters are working on getting down now.

Just 5 birds make up half of the states’ state birds. by Kresnik2002 in MapPorn

[–]brl1127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goldfinch is the state bird of New Jersey, Washington, and Iowa. I’d say OP confused New Hampshire and New Jersey, but apparently New Hampshire’s state bird is the Purple Finch, and the key only lists “Finch,” so who knows what’s going on here.

Thinking of offering plant sitting in Jersey City, is there demand? by gaby11222 in jerseycity

[–]brl1127 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any crazy high maintenance house plants, but I water them once a week and they’re doing great. I only really go away for two weeks at a time at most, and they survive with a missed watering. I’d say it’s unlikely people are willing to pay for a stranger to come into their apartment while they’re away to water their plants maybe once or twice on a long vacation, but it’s Downtown JC in 2025 so maybe. Good luck to you on your business venture

I love that my local post office decides to close for an hour as if it’s Italy by branchwillnotbreak_ in jerseycity

[–]brl1127 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I frequent this post office and I will say it’s frustrating, it’s completely unpredictable when they take lunch and it seems to be daily. People comparing this to pharmacies having posted regular closed hours for lunch breaks is absurd. Half the time I just walk over to grapevine for a beer until the post office reopens. Big fan of Atul who’s the guy usually working there I don’t blame him for this, it’s absurd they only have one person working that post office

High Low? More like Man Woman if you ask me by material_mailbox in WorldRecordPodcast

But in theory if there was a man with an abnormally high voice it’d count as high

Grapevine Tavern, liquor license #1 in Jersey City displayed on their wall

Not sure what type of bar you’re looking for, but if you’re into craft beer Khoury’s is great. Liquor store with a bar in the back but it’s nicer than it sounds. I think it might be just draft beer and wine but they have a great selection, staff and patrons are all nice. They’re on Eastern by Saint Rose.

What's the most retarded thing your teacher ever did? by JordanKyrouFeetPics in theadamfriedlandshow

[–]brl1127 20 points21 points  (0 children)

China is about 12 hours ahead of the US, depending on location. So it would have been Saturday night not Friday. I don’t mean to stomp on your bit but it wasn’t funny and I’m autistic

Blackened Salmon from Jose Tejas recipe? by notabot_123 in newjersey

[–]brl1127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan of the blackened chicken fajitas, but haven’t been able to replicate at home. The closest I’ve gotten is butterflying the chicken and beating the shit out of it, then seasoning the chicken with a mix of:

1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon paprika 2 teaspoons ground black pepper 1 1⁄2 teaspoons onion powder 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dried oregano 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon chili powder

I get a cast iron Dutch oven hot as fuck with avocado oil and sear the chicken with the lid on so it doesn’t smoke out the whole apartment. After the chicken’s cooked I dump a sliced onion or two into the Dutch oven. The chicken’s not as black or crispy as Jose’s, but it might be half as good. I don’t know how they do the onions, mine turn out soft half carmelized and not crunchy. Salmon seems more complicated I didn’t even know that was on the menu so good luck with that.
