Reply to Plastic bag ban helped cut Shore trash: New report notes drop in bags, straws, paper pieces found in annual cleanup by rollotomasi07071
If you're mad about the straw ban and hate paper straws, you should know that there are far better biodegradable straws that are comparable in price to paper straws and don't break down while you're drinking. I use bamboo, but I've also used straws made from PLA, sugar cane, seaweed, and other things. All superior to paper straws in every way.
Any business that's uses paper straws hates you and is punishing you for the fraction of a penny per $2 drink that it costs them to comply with the law.
I keep a box of bamboo straws in my car so I never have to use a paper straw (or plastic straw).

Pretty sure all moving violations have points, including this one. Things like expired registration/inspection don't have points.

And when they double down on their lie, you should tell them that obviously it shouldn't be a problem for you to go into court and say they were driving the car, because obviously the police already know that. Hopefully you have some proof they borrowed the car. And never let them drive your car again.

Windmills look cool, I love seeing them when I’m driving. We need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

Reply to This just in....put down your phone so you can see exactly when the light turns green. by No_Variation_6639
I had one dude sit at a light after it turned green, so I honked after a couple of seconds. He still sat. Other people honked, he still sat. Light turned yellow, he still sat. Light turned red, he still sat. When the light turned green again everyone in line honked in unison, and he finally moved.
My car chimes when the light turns green so you can't miss it.

A lot of places will let you if you just ask.
There's also board game groups that meet in public places all over the state, you can find them on meetup.com.

Wow, these guys have what looks like 8 very expensive gaming tables. That seems like an unwise expenditure for a store that just opened. I will check it out though when I'm in the area.

Do they have games for sale upstairs? I only checked out the downstairs which was not a very big selection.

I love winter, but I value the relationships I have in NJ too much to move.
There are also many reasons not to live in the south aside from the weather, which is way too hot in the summer. NJ is getting too hot in the summer, I hate waking up at 5:00 a.m. to run.

Is that because you don't have a legitimate reason? Why would a doctor object if you have a legitimate reason?

Right now we need more dispensaries distributed throughout the state before we need more in the same places.

> And it saves insurances tons of money that isn’t passed on to customers.
The ACA requires insurance companies to spend 80% of premiums on benefits, so effectively any cost savings have to be passed on to customers. Customers won't see that in the form of a cost reduction because all they're really doing is slowing the rate of healthcare cost inflation. But that still saves the customer money compared to the status quo.

Reply to comment by PAXICHEN in It's a day late but Happy "Washington Crossing the Delaware Day" to all who celebrated by rollotomasi07071
I think there's two reasons for this. 1. We're conditioned to view left to right movement as advancing, as is typical in movies and stuff. Not sure if movies are the cause of that conditioning or an effect. 2. Maps have north on top, east on the right, west on the left, so we default to interpret it as if the viewer is facing north and Washington is moving west to Pennsylvania.
The painter lived for a time in Philadelphia so I doubt he was confused about the geography. I guess the left-right movement conditioning wasn't a thing in the 1850s, or he would have painted them facing the other way. Or maybe he wanted to depict the return trip since they crossed at night, but that'd be a weird thing to paint.

I think it's hilarious that you seem to think you hold mainstream views in a state that has one of the lowest rates of gun ownership in the country, and consequently one of the lowest rates of gun violence in the country. And we keep voting for the gun grabbers because we like it that way.
