Oh hey this is my hometown. What a weird spot for that, though? I’d think they get more visibility at the three-way intersection by Anthony’s, like a half mile up the street. The bar there also seems pretty MAGA friendly, which I found out last time I went home last summer.

Auto-replenish goes up and down based on your usage. All of them do that no matter what state you have Ezpass with.

For example my fluctuates anywhere from $125 to about $300 throughout the year.

If you don't want fluctuation try to avoid roads with tolls.

You think the military industrial complex is against sonar? They invented it! No one would be against banning sonar more than the US military haha

I have to hand it to big oil though, these links started to be noticed as far back as the 1960s. Very prescient of them to start faking the data way back then, knowing that 60 years later it would give them a feeble argument against one type of alternative energy!

My folks always gave us a free day pass from school, once per year. It ended up keeping us in school more!

But today? Kids are under a lot more pressure, this is a fact. My kids were learning Jr high subjects in the 4th grade. Couple that with the massive stress of social media? Maybe we should slow down a bit and let them chill.

Sushi Palace in Edison has the WORST sushi I’ve ever had. I would not recommend going there. It was flavorless, weirdly textured, and literally grey.

My guest and I spit it out. And since they charge you if you don’t finish (for the all you can eat I think), we ended up hiding the rest in a bag and throwing it out outside.

Auto-replenish amount is pegged to usage so it's not worth seeking out the two most common "other" E-ZPass issuers for NJ drivers (Anyone who uses MTA Bridges and Tunnels frequently should get a NY tag, people who get antsy about a $1/mo fee should get Delaware). They will treat you the same way.

You use the turnpike a lot - I assume at least sometimes you use it during off-peak hours. My recommendation is to turn off auto-replenish and keep your NJ tag.

This message won't make sense for a few years, but I'm going to write it and send it anyway.

If this is truly the person you want to be, once your day is over and you've put away your phone and all social media, and it's just you and your last few thoughts before sleep, you may feel a slight hollowness to your life. You can easily change that. You'll know what you have to do.

This little anonymous interaction is not about me. Your trolling has no effect on me. This is about you. You are clearly missing something meaningful in your life. Find it and you'll be much happier.

Take care, buddy.
