Reply to Article on Afro Taco. "This [Newark] food truck mixes Ghanaian and Mexican cuisines for epic street food." by Top_Ad5385

"Picture it: a beautifully crisp quesadilla, but instead of the usual chicken-and-peppers filling, it’s stuffed with the most tender oxtail, buttery shrimp, melty cheese and smoky jollof rice (West African staple made with long-grain rice, tomatoes, onions, spices and vegetables).

This killer mash-up is one of the many globetrotting dishes offered by Afro Taco, a Newark-based food truck overflowing with Ghanaian and Mexican flavors."

Reply to comment by llamasnkiwi in To solar or not to solar? by Bodymindisoneword

I used EnergySage to research what panels would fit my need in ideal circumstances and just for general research. It’s a good tool for a conscious consumer to get a grasp of what’s what. I ended up not getting solar only because of the composition of my roof (metal shingles, super cool but nobody will touch it lol) but at least I know what to go for when I eventually do an addition and change the roof to a standing seam.

I did have a few companies come out to give estimates before they all said no way with the roof and they were pleasantly surprised when I had some knowledge of what I was looking at. One company in particular was trying to sell me a brand I knew was leaving the PV market, so when I opted to ask for an alternate brand (Panasonic) they were happy to help me price it out and ended up being cheaper. But, no solar for me until I do that addition lol.

Energysage would not be helpful if you wanted to see an accurate estimation of your savings with solar. Their are significantly more accurate and informative estimators online that you can use for free.

Energysage could be one resource for researching reviews on local installers, but it’s important to find reviews from multiple sources. Companies can choose to focus on a select few online review platforms to attempt to boost their ratings. A good company would have a positive rating among several different review platforms.

Finding NABCEP certified solar installers is an unbiased way to making sure the company you choose is a high quality installer. Having a NABCEP certification doesn’t automatically make your company perfect or immune to wrongdoing. However, this certification is a symbol that the company is going the extra mile to provide quality service.

Reply to Large Dog Rentals by zaada_

Often when a listing says "no pets" they mean "no dogs" and when they mean "no dogs" they mean only "dogs that are destructive or a liability for insurance e.g. pit bulls" This sort of thing is often negotiable. If you're set on a certain area and having trouble finding place, try working with a good realtor. This is why we pay them fees.

Reply to comment by murphydcat in Pictured is the router which sent the 1st internet connection from NYC to Tokyo. These were sold out of a basement office of a home in Rahway NJ. It's signed by everyone who worked for Cisco Systems in 1989. It was given to my dad when he retired in 1999 for his work in establishing the internet. by TriggerTough

Very cool.

My dad made me deliver papers as well on my BMX bike. Wanted to teach me "work ethic."

I hope all is well and thank you for the paper delivery back then!
