Right but many of these vessel strikes could be after the whale is already dead. The carcasses are always too decomposed to check their ears for damage.

I’m not saying it’s sonar/wind related but it’s worth looking into the root cause because whale deaths haven’t been this frequent in my lifetime.

It doesn’t matter. It’s not religious in that manner - it’s just their social services arm. They do a really good job

What if he’s Jewish

Catholic charities hands down. They’re really good at helping them with medical, mental health, housing, Medicaid applications, etc.

A little pit maneuver is not out of line

Sushi Village in Westwood

They literally just don't want to see them. It's so dumb.

It is though. It’s accepted as fact by marine biologists, politicians, etc. They’ll conclude their study once the turbines are up and running.

There's one off of rt1 as well in Princeton but the name is escaping me! They always had really good deals

You know, every fucking LED light bulb that I’ve replaced old incandescent bulbs with has died, each lasting for a significantly lesser amount of time than just regular old light bulbs. Just throwing my two cents into this.

Kumo in Somerville is good. I find it better quality than sushi palace, it’s still within walking distance to yestercades, it’s BYOB, and the all you can eat menu includes kitchen items like hibatchi and tempura dishes

I loooove Sushi Palace in Summit

Military sonar, not ground mapping sonar. Vastly more powerful and literally causes fatal internal bleeding in whales.

To be clear, the fish finder radar under a boat is not what we're talking about. We're talking about the extremely powerful "pings" used to find submarines. This is even painful or fatal for humans if they are near a sub when a ping goes out.

Getting a refund from an airline is a complete hassle. Good luck.

Just sounds like millionaire beach house owners last desperate attempt to try and not have to look out their beachfront windows at windmills in the distance. The people who live a mile inland don’t give a shit about your ruined Airbnbs, but they do give a shit about lower energy bills.

I know it's 100% not an eco-friendly option, but styrofoam melts in Acetone if recycling isn't an option 😬

Monmouth is central jersey

I go to Carnegie cat clinic. They’re expensive but not that expensive I don’t think. Worth calling at least.

Also try house paws- they’re based in south jersey but I think they have a Bergen county office.

Exactly. If I was the yellow car, I’m not going to stick around for my safety. Win-win when traffic keeps flowing and I’m not in a compromised position for prolonged periods. Minimize crowding and you’re less likely got be surprised.

Whales have been hating it for 80 years, too. I’m not saying this mapping is the cause for this specific event, but it’s definitely true that sonar scares the shit out of whales, and they can beach themselves because of it. It’s at least plausible. Not a good reason to stop all wind farms forever (climate change is still the bigger danger), but if it is causing this, maybe we need to explore different methods of mapping, if possible

The off shore turbines will create amazing reef life and bring pelagic gamefish closer onshore.

red and yellow have not concept of maintaining a safety cushion / escape route in case of an emergency. you should never be side to side with another vehicle for more than 3-5 sec, especially when approaching interchanges where vehicles are merging on to your direction of travel.

this type of driving also promotes right lane hugger/speeders who weave in and out and speed on the right lane. often times, people trying to exit/move over to the right are caught unaware of vehicles approaching/trying to pass on the right causing accidents. often times, the fast vehicle on the right are never involved in these accidents as the vehicle trying to move right will over correct to the left, lose control, get hit by vehicle(s) in the passing and travel lanes.

it’s assholes in pickup trucks that do this as well

I see no reason for us to legally ban self-service. Give businesses and consumers that freedom. It's not like cars and stations are exploding across the country. Maybe it made more sense years ago, but stations are generally safe. It's an archaic and unnecessary law. But my position has nothing to do with costs.

The savings you predict only makes sense if the stations are trying to set the lowest possible price. Businesses aim to set the highest price while still maintaining demand. So I can't see these savings happening in any meaningful way.

What you said may happen, but it would only be a short-term fluctuation. The stations would adjust accordingly and then prices would creep back up because they would ultimately adjust according to demand (which ain't going nowhere anytime soon).

So if we do this, okay, station A lowers its prices because it has a sudden surplus. Station B loses some customers (it doesn't lose all of its customers because some people are loyal to brands or maybe they enjoy the shorter line for a few cents more). Maybe Station B gets some of Station's A's customers who want the service. Maybe Station B eventually gives in and lowers prices to be more competitive and everything is close to uniform again. (But none of these details really matter in the grand scheme because both stations know their customers will pay more if they push prices up, so they both gradually creep back to where they would have been all along.)

Demand is the ultimate factor here and all the stations will tinker with their prices to extract the maximum price out of you. So maybe you'll save a bit in the short term, but they'll get you right where they want you while providing fewer local jobs and offering you less service.

In not so many words, I agree with you, but I don't agree for the same reasons

Honestly, I think someone could make a killing with a coffee truck that roams neighborhoods like an ice cream truck.
