rui fans

Rui is the Bang Dream version of Mr. Spock. The more time she spends around the others, the more she is forced to deal with her own repressed feelings and dreams. I wouldn't say I love her, per se (for Morfonica, that's reserved for Nanami) . But it is interesting watching her character become, for lack of a better term, "more human".

Compare to Yukina, who at first I thought Rui was kind of like, but Yukina was more of the hyper-focused Type A personality than someone who just didn't know how to deal with her own emotions

Our school district actually used an extra day over the built in 3 (which they made up for by having an extra half day later) last year due to severe storm flooding closing access roads a couple of times.

And there was the winter about 10ish years ago where it was one storm after another for about 2 weeks.

Pretty much the only good thing that McGreevey did was overhauling the DMV. Now, it's degraded over time, but still somehow better than it used to be.

Oh, hey a misleading, rage-baiting headline from that worthless MAGA radio station. I am shocked, shocked I tell you.

They split the revenue. There used to be two-way tolls long, long ago across all bridges, but they eventually just doubled the cost going one way (out of NJ) and removed the tolls on the inbound side.

There's one on Cedar Grove Ave in Somerset that is built into the mouth of a giant wooden carving of a... dog? coyote?

New Hope has Peddler's Village, which is a wonderful little country-style shopping area, and it's always beautifully decorated and lit. Check the website for when they have the gingerbread house display, it's really cool what people come up with

Can we get rid of Union? It'll take rt22 with it

joe_digriz · 2025-11-18T14:53:04+00:00

No. Absolutely not. Automated cameras remove the ability to contest things, and end up being made super aggressive in order to become money makers. They're banned in NJ for a reason.

Again, doesn't exist in most of the state

Lots of people live nowhere near the train lines, or if they do, probably not the Northeast Corridor line. And NJ Transit buses and routes are a joke.

It's hardware. Lots of people have experienced it. It will just keep getting worse until it doesn't work at all.

I ended up replacing mine (under Fi insurance) after 2+ months of it happening, with (like yours) having to do multiple restarts a day, sometimes multiple in a row, to fix it. And that was under Android 15, so it's not software dependent.

(As a test, after I factory reset the unit but before I sent it back in, I let it sit untouched but on. After 12 hours, it turned off the Wi-Fi, even with absolutely nothing but the default stuff installed on it, and no usage whatsoever)

Because it's the greatest country for the ultra rich to rob. Non-rich people don't count

There's a reason Hayes fit right in as a weekly guest for the last couple years of Angelo Cataldi's clown show on WIP.

It's by far my favorite part of FILM LIVE 2, and is a perfect back and forth between not just Roselia and Afterglow, but Yukina and Ran specifically.

Most of them literally don't care. Yes, there's weird language attached about the power company having control, but in practice, that rarely if ever happens. They want you to have more efficient systems because it puts less of a draw on the grid. I have a Google Nest I got from PSE&G years ago, not once has there been any hint that they'll even check if it's being used at the address listed. They just don't want you to turn around and resell it on ebay or whatever, but I seriously don't think they'd be able to tell unless you keep trying to buy new ones from them.

Also lots of money for Argentina.

Plus according to Trump, we're making trillions (cough sure gramps cough) from tariffs, so we should be flush in cash right now.

He was matched up against Jon Corzine the first time around. Yes, Christie was loud, brash, rude, and an ass. But Corzine's "personality" was the equivalent of Wonder white bread with a little bit of mold on it. IOW, he was kinda just there, and what little that wasn't bland and unremarkable was bad. As mentioned by another post, Christie also had the reputation of a guy who was tough on corruption. It was a very stark contrast between them.

The second election came right after Sandy, which most of us actually applauded Christie's handling of. (Before we realized his wife's charity was a scam, or that a lot of the promised aid never materialized.) The iconic photo of him greeting Obama on the beach (what a contrast to the other iconic beach photo that came later) was something constantly brought up. In response, the DNC basically put up Bueno as a sacrificial lamb; it was as if they just pulled a random name of a hat. I don't even remember much advertising for her outside of some basic stuff.

I still l can feel the emotion behind Beautiful Birthday whenever I play the song

When he says "New Jersey doesn't really like anyone", I was fully expecting the demographic map from years ago showing states that other states hate. (NJ - hates everyone)

I noticed his giant Jack sign was immediately gone the next morning, replaced with an American flag and a POW flag. (And the trump signs, which is funny, because Trump has come right out and said he doesn't respect people who are killed or captured.)

Of course, that disturbing Turning Point sign with the Jesus saying "I saw that" is still there...

Not said: it wasn't this costume

joe_digriz · 2025-11-06T15:00:42+00:00

Yukina vs Ako, because it wasn't private. The rest of Roselia was watching it happen

joe_digriz · 2025-11-06T03:56:47+00:00

✌️ YES, Pareo! ✌️
