It’s thought to be a misunderstanding between French speakers and German surnames. Francophones presumed it was a trade suffix the way in English someone who bakes is a baker. English is a salad of confusion between these two.

All of whom may take the NJ transit bus system to do so.

Here’s the thing, that bridge would only serve tourists customers of the hotel, not the tax payers of NJ who would be paying for it. So it’s on the hotel here to advocate for their customers and either work with NJDOT for the bridge or run a shuttle. But they put up the sign instead because their only care about their bare minimum liability, not making things safe or convenient.

NJ DOT controls Rt 3 that goes over the bridge. You can recommend it to them.

The REASON it’s illegal and dangerous to walk from these hotels is there’s a damn whole canal between here and the stadium and the bridge is a limited-access highway. https://maps.app.goo.gl/5nK4bkNg9fHkWunn7

There isn’t a pedestrian bridge over the canal, that’s why you gotta get a ride.

So is the Groundhog:

We read prophecies all the time. They made a whole industry out of betting on such things.

They are about as religious as a paper fortune game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_fortune_teller

Even among people who take their cards “seriously” they aren’t religious in nature. It’s that “I’m spiritual, not religious” line because there’s basically no religion that’s welcoming to Tarot.

It’s a hundreds year old Italian & French card game that has a reputation. You can play standard card games like War and Go Fish with tarot and you can lay a reading with Grandma’s bridge deck.

The best explanation I’ve heard so far is that they were brasscrafter’s masterworks. Difficult to make, no useful purpose, created entirely to show the skill of the metalworker. Masterworks made to mark the of end apprenticeships were a Celtic practice but brass casting and shaping like this was from Rome so these areas were the two culture overlapped.

Had to go get my radio-tech spouse. His reply “Oh, that’s the dumb name for a terminator…”

Apparently “dummy load” isn’t what they call them in the USAF

"4chan was right " is a funny lesson to take when the files show Epstein was behind /pol and Pizzagate.

I’m sure you mean well, but this can cause problems for them.

Traditionally, Girl Scout Troops are discouraged from selling cookies outside their geographic area so that the scouts in your location can sell their cookies. If you are selling to your friends and family, that’s considered okay, but scouts across the nation are selling cookies in the next few months and they all need support.

We tell people that supporting your local troop by buying cookies supports all of Girl Scouts.

I get you, I also have raging ADHD.

The point is -not- to not think, you can think as much as you want about whatever you want. This is NOT meditation

Just don’t be doing or watching something for a few minutes. Listen to silence. Not for a long time, just a couple of minutes is enough.

Nothing changed my perspective on intrusive thoughts like learning they are directly related to mental exhaustion. If you notice them, you need mental rest.

Sleep is helpful but just not doing anything for a little while is helpful too. Sitting around staring into space or looking our a window, no TV, no phone, no book, no shampoo bottle instructions; rawdog reality. Not for super long, 2 or 5 minutes is enough, don’t need to push thoughts away or think of nothing or meditate if that’s not your thing. Just try doing nothing at all for a little bit, let your brain rest.

Registered Democrats in like 6 states chose Hillary over Bernie by a slim margin in the middle of 2016 during the Primaries that year. The vast majority of Americans have not had the opportunity to vote for Bernie outside of Democrat Primaries and most of those votes happened after choices have been made at the party level.

Her full name was Renee Nicole Macklin Good, born Renee Nicole Ganger. It’s literally in the linked article.

Bullshit. Before the food pyramid was the 4 food groups. I was in us public school before 1992 as well.

Could you explain about Cosmos? It just said it’s an AI tagging app. Does it have content to review or just a saving tool? I’ve got a bazillion notebook apps but only Pinterest lets me browse text-free for any length of time.

I joke Pinterest is the only app that doesn’t make me cry but it’s because I can work for hours before being interrupted by text boxes or intrusive text ads.

That’s a moderation issue, not a technical problem. Unless you want the tech determining what is NSFW, good luck with that.

This reminds me of the time someone posted in r/parenting asking what “Papa Troll” TV show their preschooler was asking for.

!It was Paw Patrol!<

You want to be searching for “male gaze”, OP.

Thank you for properly representing the Rod of Asclepius instead of the Caduceus!
