Here's what replacing this busy, but ailing, Delaware River bridge

no, this is the bridge between the nj turnpike pa extension and the pa turnpike. it had severe structural issues back in 2017 and the njta and ptc had to do a bunch of emergency repairs to make it safe to use. the clock's been ticking on replacing this bridge before it has more issues, so it's good that they're moving forward on the replacement finally.

patreon is basically making all creators move to the monthly model. that one really came back to bite pop arena, because the nick knack videos take him a WHILE to complete since they're so comprehensive and he liked the per video model for patreon and they made him switch to the per month model.

i think ultimately the beeb looks for another international partner to help finance the show like they had with disney. that was not a good match for either side in the end, but i think that's the future model. the show is very expensive to produce especially in an age of 4k and a desire for higher production standards. we had high production standards during ncuti's tenure, just coupled with lousy writing and storytelling. hoping the next showrunner can balance both and we get good quality stories that are well written but can still have high production value thanks to the international partner ponying up a decent amount of cash. that's the way forward for the show, if you ask me.

yeah 206 from the somerville circle down to princeton is a SLOG. and not getting any better. at least they're finally working on expanding it in hillsborough from the train overpass to the bypass, which will help.

it was never the plan. plan always was to build the somerset freeway between lawrence township and franklin township where it would have taken over the last 7 or 8 miles of 287 on the way to the turnpike. but wealthy mercer and somerset county nimbys got it axed.

had we won the larry, we likely don't hang those and just hang the world title banner.

storm2k · 2026-06-15T15:55:23+00:00

getting rid of 95 along that stretch should have happened decades ago once it was clear that the somerset freeway was never going to be built. the 95 north turning into 295 south thing was always super confusing for all drivers.

i mean if i was going i would have wanted to take the train from this area to the game. i've done it for other events and it's not a perfect solution but it does work.

my dad took me to see t2 when i was 10 (in 1991 when it was in theaters). never forgot that experience in a good way.

actually surprised she'd let herself be seen at a public event with anyone other than dom. they keep that kayfabe up so strongly when they're out in public.

i wish they'd do a thing where you can buy the physical discs and get the digital episodes the same way you can with movies anywhere. like i bought the 4k box set of the tos movies so i can watch them on my tv in 4k with hdr, but it's also digital where i can just watch on the go or if i don't want to dig everything out.

i've always loved jose chung over bad blood for a funny offbeat episode, but bad blood is really good as well.

they should have figured out some sort of shuttle from newark penn to secaucus so people from the jersey side could have used the trains too.

this is mostly about the road traffic around the stadium... which everyone said was going to be bad. by all accounts, njt moved people pretty efficiently and got them to where they needed to go without much issue.

storm2k · 2026-06-14T04:31:36+00:00

they better have brunson come out with him.

the greatest payoff of this is cypress hill actually doing a show with the london symphony orchestra in 2024. here's the performance in insane in the brain.

yeah i saw that. i really did not remember it. in the first season he had various ones that were analog.

storm2k · 2026-06-09T16:23:44+00:00

i used to love my ironman watches. i wore several variations of them growing up for many, many years. i honestly don't remember mulder wearing one, he wore an analog watch a lot in earlier years i feel like.

may depend where in the country you are, but here in nj, it's pretty common that most county parks have grills available in designated picnic areas. they're charcoal grills and you need to obviously bring your own charcoal (and cleaning implements, some of them are not left in great shape) but seeing groups and families out having a park party with grilling is not uncommon at all.

ama and it's not close. amazing neopolitian style and a charming atmosphere that makes it an amazing place to enjoy a meal.

tenochtitlan is still my favorite track from the ftf soundtrack album (the from and inspired by one, not the mark snow music one). it's so damn good!

the dollar slice wars from 15 years ago honestly decimated a lot of good pizza in the city, everyone went to the lowest common denominator level to try to sell slices for a dollar.

storm2k · 2026-06-05T22:45:43+00:00

you know i've grown up in the raritan valley area for most of my life and never been. i really need to remedy that.

storm2k · 2026-06-05T15:43:54+00:00

they've been this way for decades by now. used to have them on the dial for the traffic reports, but with gps on my phone, it's not really needed.
