So the temporary storm knocked down a utility pole and forced closure for a bit over an hour. Saying it was a possible tornado, not confirmed though.

That’s a good one. He’s got a place in Bayhead now.

That's what I was thinking. I assumed that it was but only saw some police lights up near that bridge in your photo. Didn't look like anything was obstructing the road.

Exactly trump lifted the off shore drilling ban everywhere on east coast except Florida…gee, I wonder why!

I am not knowledgeable on the topic so I do not have a strong opinion. That's why I get exhausted by people who are equally uninformed yet exponentially more determined.
I was reading a couple of threads on Facebook when it first happened and there had been no time for any evidence to be gathered let alone communicated. The whole thread was full of comments like "it's obvious to everybody" and "do your research" and a lot of use of the word "they" to blame vague conspiratorial forces. A smattering of Let's Go Branden and King Murphy nabs as well.
The few people I saw asking for evidence were ridiculed or sent articles that didn't have evidence. In fact, one article recognized that ther whale death problem predates the windfarm activity.
I dove into the topic because I was concerned and wanted to know what info was out there. I found nothing convincing. I'm still open minded to learning more but I found it interesting that such passionate folks had so little info to share.
It sure seems like a conclusion looking for evidence.
I do find it but weird how the very same blocs of people who tend to scoff at anything remotely related to environmentalism have decided to make this their battle. It is difficult to take them seriously when they reject decades of scientific research of other environmental issues.

Ah yes. More cops and tickets, that will solve it.

I think it's a lot more complicated than greedy contractors. Certainly, we are often either paying lowest bidder or politically connected contractors who do the work for as little money as possible. There's also the situation that Rt. 1 is an extremely busy corridor for both commuters and trucks.
Even with the most well built roads, they will get torn up by overweight vehicles over time. The water is pooling exactly along the tire treads. Regular resurfacing is part of maintaining road infrastructure.

Astroturfing is the worst. These people couldn't give a wet fart about whales.

Reply to comment by BF_2 in Where are some good rail trails near train stations? by abelEngineer
Columbia Trail: take RVL to High Bridge, weekdays only. Trailhead is just 1/4 mile up main street.
D&R: closest station would be Bound Brook, also on RVL. Google D&R Canal Lock 11.
HHT: less than 1 mile from NJCL's Aberdeen-Matawan station to the Stillwell St trailhead on the southern half or the Gerard Ave trailhead on the northern half.
TIP: turn on the biking layer in Google Maps.

Pro vaccination does not equal pro big pharma.
Pro ukraine isn't Pro military industrial complex.
These are false equivalences

That’s a relatively new resurfacing job. Look how fucking terrible it is. Look at all that standing water = future potholes. I swear contractors do it deliberately so they have to come back five years later and get paid again.

None of those examples relate to the usage that's being talked about. "Rice Burner" came into wide use in the 80s as a disparaging term for Japanese cars, and was especially popular with fans of American muscle cars. The implication is that they literally use rice as fuel instead of gasoline because rice is a stereotypical staple in Asian diets. Definitely started as an insult, and pretty similarly racist to linking black people and fried chicken and watermelon. At this point it's become such common usage that it might be headed in the direction of "Paddy Wagon" (a slur referring to lawlessness among Irish immigrants), meaning that the original disparaging intent and meaning is becoming forgotten and use is fairly mainstream.

Ive done quite a few paths and trails using NJT or Metro North or LIRR though Long Island should only be done in the warmer months.
You can ride the Delaware and Raritan Canal trail from New Brunswick to Hamilton,NJ , its about 40 miles , i've walked 15 miles it between Hamilton to Princeton. Its relatively quiet not too many people.
They recently completed a heritage route south of Bordentown. So you could ride the Delaware & Raritan Canal trail from near the Cass Street RiverLINE station in Trenton , you access it via the Riverfront Park and Lamberton Rd and that will bring you to Bordentown which is about 8 miles. The Heritage route will bring you down Roebling and you can bike via the Back roads to Burlington which is about 9 miles.
On the NY side you have the Aqueduct pathway which runs from Yonkers to Irvington with a small detour in Tarrytown and North of Downtown Tarrytown to Scarborough and a small detour in Ossining and then from Ossining to the Croton Harmon Station or the Croton Dam. The Best Access is from Greystone Metro North Station. In Tarrytown you can alternatively ride along the Riverfront into Sleepy Hollow and access the trail from Gory Brook Rd entrance.

Like a year ago now. Think they're building a new seedy hotel in its place.

It's not just the people who didn't drive the entire time. I was driving through COVID and everyone was doing 90+ because no one was on the road. Do that long enough and you get used to it.

I was thinking the same question when people drive inches from my bumper every time I’m in single a line of cars, I can’t go anywhere! I’m already going with the normal flow of traffic! People generally drive way too close for no reason

It got flooded a couple of years ago so might as well tear it down not long after. It was about time tbh.
