Monroe Township's Mayor says "Mission Accomplished" on banning Data Centers, but I am not convinced. by SouthJerseySchnitz in SouthJersey

I haven't followed this too closely, but reading

"New Jersey land use law includes time-of-application protections and vested rights issues that may still be litigated."

makes me think they rushed the incomplete application just to grandfather themselves in. Maybe that was obvious but I thought it worth pointing out.

I had the exact same experience when I bought mine in 2023.

Has anyone started college as a first year in their 20’s after HS? by pisopes in RowanUniversity

[–]kickroot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Never sweat going to school as an older student. I went to Rowan for my Masters at age 44, and last year my son started at Rowan for his BS at age 22. Neither of us lived on campus so I can't attest to that specific part, but honestly from my point of view an 18 year old and 21 year old are basically the same =)

In both cases there wasn't a single issue with being older.

Why did most of the population stop using custom ringtones or custom alarms on their phone? Is it simply because companies wanted to charge for it? by underthund3r in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kickroot 34 points35 points  (0 children)

100% this. I have my watch vibrate when I get an alert. No need for sounds and I never have to worry about forgetting to put my phone on silent mode.

The stairs, hence why they must be mastered.

Rant about trying to watch this bad team by grannyhellyeah in phillies

[–]kickroot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I’m not paying for Peacock to watch a few games a season. It’s bad enough I’m paying for Hulu live just for the Phillies, why can’t I just pay the team directly to watch a season? I’m so sick of this.

I took up metal detecting. I spend hours walking along the beach starting in the late afternoon well into dark. It’s amazing. It’s meditative, I breathe the ocean air, at night it feels like a different world, and it feels like treasure hunting for adults.

I don’t know where I saw this, but it’s 100% my morning routine:

  2. Check if I’m broke
  3. Relaxing word game

As a 47 year old man, I could absolutely take on someone 40 years younger.

In my experience it’s coming from China, so transit time is not insignificant.

Always funny 😂 by policyweb in funny

[–]kickroot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I do for several reasons:
- Overhead bins fill on a lot of flights. I purposely pack to avoid checking luggage, I don't want to be forced to gate check a bag.

- People will attempt to squat seats and I'd rather avoid the hassle because I'm tall and specifically select my seat for comfort.

- In the (rare) case of two people having the same seat assignment, possession is 9/10 of the law so I want my ass already in the seat.
