Because wind is the enemy?
If the going the rate for thoughts is a penny, can we get a discount when it’s groupthink?
Don’t think I don’t appreciate you choosing a movie character moron as your meme spokesperson, though. That’s epic, dude.
Imagine rooting against a form of energy in another state

There actually is a resemblance between Jeff Van Drew and Jeff Spicoli (Penn).Because wind is the enemy?

I am pleased to report that I actually don’t know who Jeff Van Drew is, other than he was mentioned as being a congressman in a link posted above. Presumably from rhode island.
I appreciate the info, but I am so blissfully unplugged from politics these days, I don’t care who he is. If it’s not someone I can vote for or against, it’s not my problem.
All the hysterical anti-windmill signs in Atlantic City bear his name...I appreciate the info, but I am so blissfully unplugged from politics these days, I don’t care who he is. If it’s not someone I can vote for or against, it’s not my problem.
Hm. I was in AC only once, many years back. I found the dichotomy between the seedy excesses of casinos and the visible poverty just beyond the casino area very depressing and distasteful. So I've never been back.
I wouldn't want my name associated with a place like that.
The race is on to try and save 46 pilot whales stranded on a West Australian beach after 51 died overnight.
An image showed the mammals huddling in the shape of a heart near the shore before the mass stranding on Cheynes Beach in southern Western Australia on Tuesday, making international headlines.
They must be constructing at least 10 windmills to kill 51 whales.
Weird thread bump
You must have a lot of time on your hands with nothing else to do
That’s what happens when you are retire. Came back from the swimming pool and posted, tomorrow to Atlantic City to go gambling. Read the free news on yahoo and NY Post, occasionally make a couple of stock trades to keep growing my assets. Probably drinking and smoking pot tonight.

@Proud NJ Sports Fan went for the burn post and got lit up himself instead.
There's a moral to this story, although it escapes me at the moment. Probably something to do with having a whale of a good time breaking wind.
Pretty sure the lesson in this case is "don't piss off the woman so that she takes your house and all your money".
I thought it was BS who did that (and has been whining about how unfair the family court system is ever since). But I could be mistaken.
Not sure what this is all about but people I know who are up on these things seem to think its important
"Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives. "

Has it been quieter down there this year? It sure seems so here. Still packed on weekends but it doesn't seem the same level of party atmosphere.
My recollection is that the excitement over superconductors (materials through which electrical current encounters zero resistance) was always tempered by the fact that they only worked at temps near absolute zero. This made them impractical for workaday applications (complex circuits, motors, etc). With an ambient temp superconductor, practical applications would drive energy consumption to a fraction of the current level.
Correct. Back when I was at Rutgers, there was a lot of research done on "high critical temperature" superconductors. High was considered about 99 degrees higher than the previous temperature of absolute zero or -273C. I worked directly for a post doc on some YBCO materials in the Ceramic Engineering Department. We had insulated flasks to contain the liquid nitrogen we uswe to cool our pellet sized samples to measure their properties.
There was some excitement in 2020 around a new class of even higher critical temperature superconductors, but in 2022 the scientific paper describing the materials was called into question, and the paper was retracted. This was before science was politically co-opted, and it was OK to question the science behind a discovery or theory without being labeled a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist or having one government tool declare that he is science who goes on a mission to destroy the credibility of anyone who questioned his view. This aside, perhaps an exciting new discovery will provide some energy saving applications.
Some others saying (about superconductors) maybe not so fat
yes, much quieter other than July 4th and last weekend was pretty crowded.
Or is it simply you're not up here anymore?
I hear Belmar is already gearing up for your Labor day return
I thought you were just an idiot, but you're a giant ******* too, huh?
Just so you understand, when people use phrases like "failed liberal policies" or "failed conservative policies", the whole post comes across like Peanuts parents. "Wa waaa waa waaaa waa wa-wa."
You should move somewhere Large and White, like Antarctica.
Today, behind a plane over the beach in Atlantic City, was an awesome RUTGERS FOOTBALL banner (and behind it was a tagline: "how's the wooder?")
I have a photo of it, but don't have a place to host it and display it here...

I thought all you Rutgersians would dig this...

I’ve seen that a few times this summer. Probably could have done better with a slogan
Looks like NJ Democrats are finally waking up and seeing this whole thing is being pushed way too fast. I think most people would agree that a project this massive should not be rushed and forced down everyone's throats. No one knows the impact and when things this large get pushed so fast it makes you wonder if someone is getting paid, and this is NJ so most likely there are many people getting paid.
I thought it was sonar that everyone was all ginned up about.
This is all about pile driving.
There haven't been any piles driven off the coast of NJ related to windmills, to my knowledge.
*Edit* - Also, these references are specifically to North Atlantic Right Whales. The whales that washed up on the NJ shore were Humpbacks. I mean, they're both fin whales, but have different feeding / breeding habits.
