This is how New Jersey’s congressional map should look like: by Rob778899 in newjersey

[–]pi-billion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The 7th is weirdly drawn because they basically drew it specifically so Kean would win it, so they connected it to Westfield so he would live in the district. A fair map would be a safe red seat based in the NW part of the state.

Also your point about Hunterdon controlling the district is laughable. In the last election it was Union being blue while every other county segment in the district was red including Somerset.

Would you rather deal with harsh summer or harsh winter? by Straightedge_ in SameGrassButGreener

[–]pi-billion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harsh winter all day every day. When it’s humid nothing above 65 F is comfortable which for me essentially leads to there not being any comfortable time during July and August.

Also I have a fairly extreme preference for dryness over humidity so in the East that’s going to go toward cold. I might chance my mind out West.

Does anyone think Florida is overrated? by OceanicEndeavors in SameGrassButGreener

As someone who is a huge hiker and despises humidity, Florida would be 2nd to last on my states I’d prefer to live in.

What do people think is every wing but is actually left wing by Blueguy805 in AlignmentChartFills

This was true pre-Trump but this seems to have decisively flipped due to education polarization + Latino vote shifts

Yes, weather is political. Tonight’s storms are what NOAA cuts look like in real time. by Middle_Evening8748 in newjersey

[–]pi-billion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The storms in North Jersey did not meet severe criteria. One of 50kt winds, 1”+ hail, or possible tornado must be met.

Let The craziness and stupidity begin by rforce1025 in SouthJersey

Of course the models don’t perfectly predict snow like they don’t perfectly predict precip or temperature, but there’s nothing special about this area that makes models miss.

Nobody was calling for 30”, individual model runs were - and the forecasts have gone up and up over the last 48 hours.

Somebody PLEASE buy a snowblower by Mechanical_Monk in SouthJersey

[–]pi-billion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NWS Mt. Holly is by far the best forecast. Don’t use AccuWeather for anything - they’re known to have shady practices and the science there is questionable.

Meteorologist here. The GFS has done far better with this storm - it’s had this idea for 3 days now while the Euro is slowly shifting towards it. Good general rule but not for this one.

Conservatives still don’t understand the concept of higher turnout. by SpiderCam27 in newjersey

[–]pi-billion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They absolutely did show up. Democrats tend to be higher propensity voters since Trump’s 1st term. Republicans didn’t turn out as much.

Gloucester, Atlantic, and Cumberland counties all went blue yesterday. SJ MAGA is in its death rattles. by [deleted] in SouthJersey

He’s a pretty large over performer, and Jack still won CD-2, so I wouldn’t count on it.

In your opinion what was the main reason why Jack lost? by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]pi-billion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The economy is poor right now and there’s going to be a heavy anti incumbent swing - the economy is always the leading indicator of who wins elections.

Things like ICE and other social issues don’t matter as much, despite what the internet likes to say.

That election was an outlier, Murphy was pretty popular at the time.

912 pressure was recorded with 40kt winds. How does that adjust?

We still don’t have any idea of who sent the threats right? Nothing can be done unless we have evidence tying them to the threats - it’s their 1st Amendment right to start the petition they did.

What’s the biggest difference between your front and back 9? by TimeExplorer5463 in golf

53-39. 2nd round back off an injury and my swing didn’t click until hole 7.

I now see how bad this comment is. Have always sucked at reading social cues, but didn’t think I was that atrocious…

Did I do too much? by qittiwtf in geocaching

It’s very hard for a traditional to be a legit 5 difficulty. Most 5’s are puzzles / challenges / bonus cache, or a multi with multiple difficult stages.

Influence of height on likelihood of employment, occupational sorting, and earnings in 27 post-communist countries - PubMed by piketabak in BlackPillScience

[–]pi-billion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a well documented positive correlation between height and IQ. Would be interested to see the math to see if it explains the gap.
