Yeah I have to assume those cars belong to people from out of town because no one remotely familiar with the area would leave their car there with the forecast we had. The coffee spot, bagel place, and pizza place there are all really good!

Newport is so boring/fragile that a fire truck generated two posts in this sub …. are you really that surprised?

It wouldn't require new tunneling, but a cut-and-cover under the streets could make it a lot more useful.
But yeah, no tunnels under non-streets except perhaps in two specific places, or one specific place, just to get underneath an existing track.

Yea, let's let the general public murder people for simple assault. Great idea.

That's a lot of rain. Tons and tons of water. That's about 22 inches of snow, for comparison's sake.
Now understand that if you put out a bucket to capture rain water and got 1.8", everywhere got 1.8". The river got 1.8". All of the land next to it got 1.8". All of the land higher up got 1.8". All of the land further upriver got 1.8". All of the land at higher elevation upriver got 1.8".
Now do you get it?

Or the torrential rain that caused extensive runoff up river because of the snow melt.

Who puts up a day old photo of some alarming thing potentially effecting us all, which they didn’t take and passes it off as “today”?

Stricter penalties doesn't prevent crime. Access to social welfare, education, opportunities, and actual rehabilitation prevents crime.

Sort of. High pressure areas of a storm can "bulge" seas into low pressure areas, but most surge force by far is from wind moving in the same direction.
Atmospheric pressure is absolutely a thing on this planet, but the difference between typical high and low pressure systems isn't that great compared to the total mass of air.
*Edited to add link and remove "compress." As another poster points out, water is essentially incompressible.

I’m not sure the water “decompresses”, I think it’s more like, higher pressure regions of the ocean push up lower pressure regions of the ocean. Think hydraulic pistons etc.
Water is pretty incompressible. If it wasn’t, a gallon of water at the bottom of a swimming pool would weigh more than a gallon from the top, but this isn’t actually true in real life
So water isn’t actually “expanding”, it’s just being pushed up by regions of the ocean with higher atmospheric pressure
I could be wrong but this is my understanding
Edit: actually pretty much every part of your comment is wrong lmao. Why do you speak with such authority on things you have no clue about

That’s right. This town is at the end of the Hudson, and every drop of water from the Adirondacks, down through the Valley and onwards passes by it.

Some solid flashbacks to 2012. The year, not the movie.

I'd suggest make a list of everywhere you go during the week and on the weekend and then in the next column list how far each of those places are from where you live. In the third column write in minutes what walking/public transit would take.Live in JC with no car (sometimes get a zipcar for huge pantry restocks/grocery hauls) and it's just fine--but definitely depends on what your key activities are and how easy they are to get to. Like if you would be miserable without it for your 10% of activities, then you need to determine how much of a deal breaker that is (or if it's not actually a deal breaker).
