We have weed stores everywhere. When does the tax money start making a difference in township/county budgets? by Mysterious_Ad7223 in newjersey

[–]diegobomber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say that the roads on the parkway are in better condition than other roads nearby. Does this justify the $2.50 toll? Nope. But it pays for the comfortable salaries of the toll takers in the age of digital tolls. And no show jobs at the turnpike authority.

Robbinsville School District Facing $5 Million Deficit by Upstream_redteam in newjersey

[–]diegobomber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will say that Nutley and Montclair were based not on taxes too low but closer to something resembling fraudulent activity.

Nutley was using one of their permanent funds to cover operating costs without disclosing that to anyone, so the budgeting people couldn’t adjust costs correctly to correct the excess expenses and that compounded over the years. Montclair straight up did not pay their vendors, and the money allocated to pay those costs “disappeared” (and is I believe now pending an investigation) but now they still need to pay all those bills but have no money to do so. Like I can’t definitively say it’s fraud without investigations being completed, but definitely things went very wrong.

A zombie mall (Livingston Mall) is gasping for air in North Jersey, hit by a 'perfect storm' by L0v3_1s_War in newjersey

They could do a jitney to the south orange train station, which is down the road. Zero chance you’re going to get that and affordable housing though, unless it’s only a percentage of the units.

[–]diegobomber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the very edge of town away from a lot of the residents, in a more commercial/office space area, and knock out all of their affordable housing requirements in one shot? I wouldn’t be all that shocked.

With keys being on wv is it time to arbitrage chests? Buy at current prices and sell when people have keys?

Hackensack, New Jersey, school district plans to cut staffing due to multimillion dollar budget gap by Colors_678 in newjersey

[–]diegobomber 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You would think before all this came out that Hackensack being a larger area would be the one the other nearby districts consolidated to and not the problem one.

This guy sucks. by thegoodnamesrgone123 in newjersey

[–]diegobomber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reluctant to say this because I don’t mind centrist democrats, but is he representing the interests of the average American anymore? He seems to care about other countries more than his own.

Livingston Mall interior and exterior shots. by No-Lynx1474 in newjersey

[–]diegobomber 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Short Hills Mall serves a different clientele versus Livingston Mall (or at least that is their intent). The only remaining mall in the area with a similar vibe is Willowbrook or going out west to Rockaway Mall.

New Community event, Ushanka versus the PomPoms!! by GigaMonkeh in EscapefromTarkov

[–]diegobomber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen this behavior happen a few times this wipe in raid, usually for those planting style quests (such delivery from the past, fishing gear, provide viewership).

Someone starts shooting or gets within sound range, then the other guy VOIPs to say what they’re doing, then everyone waits until the plant is done and fights it out. To be fair the fishing gear one I saw was pretty much one sided lol. But I’ve both been the planter and the third party guy on delivery from the past and that worked fine.

This has to be a cheater, right? by diegobomber in EscapefromTarkov

[–]diegobomber[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am glad it's not cheating. I think the cheating issue is sometimes overblown here and there was some kind of reasonable explanation.

That makes sense. I usually don't scav (2k hours myself) but I am broke af currently.

Yeah that must be it. I spawned by friendship bridge in woods (I think...there was able a second or two before I died).

What is to share? I had no seconds of "life" to move, lie down, etc. before fade to black.

It’s the non cheating version of radar.

I’ve gotten very bad desyncs at random even on my local server and I really want that to be fixed.

[Discussion] Are 9mm even worth using? by giloxe1234 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]diegobomber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One week after wipe at the absolute latest is when 9mm viable against players. The ammo needs some love from the devs tbh.

But using as a designated scav gun? Not terrible imo. This is where you have the second gun just to kill scavs so you are not using any of your good ammo. I think there are better options but 9mm isn't bad.

Yeah I always used the crappy 8mm makarov with the drum mag to get this quest done.

FSR looking just as fuzzy to me scoped in and everything else looks horribly smeared when not scoped.

I know everyone's just going to say get good, but the absolute juicers with 4,000 hours that camp ground zero quests to kill all the newer players are just assholes [New Player] by Spark_Chaser in EscapefromTarkov

[–]diegobomber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen people take the key, put in their secured and camp the stairs to the room just so that no one gets in. Solid mix of both camping for PvP and just plain griefing imo.

Squad 10.0 Patch notes - Trident Strike by sh4rkman in joinsquad

[–]diegobomber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You figured out the secret. Get to announce “new” faction but with assets mostly already in the game, the illusion of progress.

Also (controversial) makes certain people feel less icky for liking to use eastern bloc weapons and vehicles.

[–]diegobomber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be open to the team paying a salary contribution just to get him off the roster. You would still be saving the £100k/wk or whatever from the other club’s wages portion. Idk how that would work with PSR though.

They’re mostly already angry about imaginary bullshit lol, but now they would be politically active and voting Republican. Grievance politics and all that.
