    Bloomberg on the proposed Muslim community center

    But, Gonz, it's our system. In any other country, you would not be free to build something as controversial as this mosque. A Jewish Synagogue in Mecca? Of course that would never be permitted. Nor would an atomic bomb monument in Hiroshima. In most parts of the world, that concept would be...

    bad car luck

    Re: Z Oh 6 No, it will be probably a year before I buy another car, maybe a little less, maybe a little longer. I don't need a car when I'm at school, so no reason to buy one until after I graduate.

    bad car luck

    hydraulics are fine, actually. and so is the clutch disk the problem is the throwout bearing and the pressure plate. Gonna sell the car to a guy at the shop. $800 repair for the clutch, blue book on the car is $1900. But, the exhaust is shot, and so are the struts, and there is a CEL code...

    bad car luck

    This is where I broke down 40.127189,-74.696283 This is where the tow truck hooked me up 40.194426,-74.607715 There was a sign here that said "Leaving NJ turnpike" 40.194715,-74.609378 He told me that legally, I was supposed to get to that sign before he could hook it up. So I was...

    bad car luck

    It's some regulation thing where only certain companies are allowed to tow on the turnpike. My insurance 'roadside assistance' refused to pick me up on the turnpike when they called. I had to drive 8 miles with a bad clutch to get off the highway in order to get them to send a tow truck, or...

    bad car luck

    mechanic said I need a new clutch, but I have my doubts. The clutch wouldn't fail catastrophically like that - it's essentially a disk of friction material. The clutch was not slipping. It wouldn't be driving along fine, then suddenly stop working. Even after it broke, once I jammed it into...

    the Maxima strikes again Here's the backstory. My dad bought a '97 Maxima in October 1996. He drove it for almost ten years, about 130k miles. In late 2005, it started having lots of electrical/wiring/sensor/ECU problems. We spent a fair amount of money fixing all of this stuff. In...

    Got back from Portland today

    Yup, that's south and central jersey. Something about the soil (it's an acidic, sandy soil) promotes the growth of pine trees, blueberries, and cranberrys. Have you ever seen how they harvest cranberries? They flood the 'bog' with water, and the berries all float to the top, and they just skim...

    FDA OKs First Embryonic Stem Cell Research Trial on Humans, Despite Concerns

    Good news. Not sure why so many people think curing diseases is such a terrible thing, but it's good to see it finally get past the bible-thumpers.

    Got back from Portland today

    There isn't a ton of geographical separation (i.e. it's generally not more than a 3 hour drive to go from one to another), but a very big socioeconomic difference. There is South Jersey, which extends east of the Delaware River, and associates itself with being a suburb of Philadelphia. This...

    I kept saying this and the Libs, here, denied it.

    I see that there have been no posts actually addressing my assertions about the use of the phrase "Anno Domini" in the constitution, only attempts to change the subject and post homophobic memes, so I will take that to mean that both Gotholic and ResearchMonkey have realized that I am correct...

    Got back from Portland today

    Well let's put it out there. I want some names of cities. Which places have you found to be dirty and nasty? The Northwest Jersey mountains? The North Jersey suburbs? The South Jersey suburbs? The north jersey cities? The central jersey suburbs? The central jersey shore? LBI? AC? The...

    I kept saying this and the Libs, here, denied it.

    Yes, Goth, it clearly does. What the fuck does 1792 mean? Was the French Revolution held 1792 miles away from the Ukraine? Was the French Revolution held in a jet fighter travelling at 1792 miles per hour? Was the French Revolution held at 1792 meters above sea level? Saying ...on this day...

    I kept saying this and the Libs, here, denied it.

    It's there because it has to be. We currently omit it for convenience (because every nation is on the same calendar) You can't just say the year 1776. Like it or not, the US currently uses the Gregorian calendar. We can speculate as to why, but the people who historically have kept track of...
