    OT: Fictional Characters Whose Death You Still Haven't Gotten Over

    Why do you smoke this shit? So as to escape from reality? Me, I don't need this shit. I am reality. There's the way it ought to be. And there's the way it is. Elias was full of shit. Elias was a crusader. Now, I got no fight with any man who does what he's told, but when he don't, the machine...

    OT: Fictional Characters Whose Death You Still Haven't Gotten Over

    Did anyone ever see End of Watch? Came out in 2012 and was a great movie, but nobody ever talks about it. The death of Jake Gyllenhaal's partner played by Michael Pena really got to me.

    OT: "half of college grads are working jobs that don't use their degrees"

    That was me. I was just mentioning it because the salesman said it and I thought it was quite a coincidence. Obviously, some salesmen do very well. One of my fraternity brothers majored in Psychology and went into sales and did great for himself. He didn't need a college degree for his job, but...

    OT: "half of college grads are working jobs that don't use their degrees"

    Economics is pretty useless unless you graduate at the top of your class. That's what I majored in and it was very tough getting a good job. Once I went back and got my MBA in Accounting, I got a much better job. Funny story: Today I bought a new truck. The salesman saw that I had Rutgers...

    OT: Looking for reputable coin dealer(s) in the Morris County area

    I collect coins and old currency and I'm constantly going to coin shows. I'm located in South Jersey and mainly deal with guys down here, but one guy up north I deal with is Robert Kotcher robert_kotcher@hotmail.com who's in Saddle Brook. He's always been honest with me. It sounds like a big...

    OT: True Detective

    I wasn't expecting the paranormal stuff, but when all is said and done, I think that we'll never really know if it was a vision, a dream, or nothing at all. Still a great series so far.

    OT: Applications for Rutgers NB have increased almost 40% for Fall 2024

    I only knew three people that went to Clemson. After they came home after graduation, they couldn't find jobs. Two eventually took commission sales jobs and one took a job as a heavy machinery operator. Good job, but you don't need a college degree for it. They all said Clemson was a great...

    OT: Applications for Rutgers NB have increased almost 40% for Fall 2024

    That's the way I look at it. To me, College Ave is what a college is supposed to look like. I spent almost all of my time there and took every class I could there. Because I had practice, I couldn't take 4th, 5th, and 6th periods. Plus, I wanted to graduate in four years, so I did have to take a...

    OT: Applications for Rutgers NB have increased almost 40% for Fall 2024

    I'll admit that I don't know what I'm talking about. I've visited a ton of campuses in my lifetime, but none recently. I know what the current tuition is at schools, but I have no idea how much schools give out to students based on merit. All I have is an impression of what schools are better...

    OT: Alternative Energy

    Thank you for posting some useful information. That's what I was looking for. Natural gas is really high. I'm less skeptical now that GHG from windmills exceed natural gas powered plants. However, the article isn't clear when the calculation starts. I'm still skeptical that windmills are as low...

    OT: Alternative Energy

    Thanks for the analysis. However, I'm still not sure. Remember, it takes 240 windmills (big ones, the ones that are 2/3 the height of the Empire State Buiding) to equal 1 power plant. The reason I think this is that I am unable to determine the amount of carbon produced by creating 240...

    OT: Alternative Energy

    Yes, we need steel for everything. Even if you were to build a nuclear power plant (my preferred source for energy), it would take steel. But wind uses so much more. It takes 240 windmills to put out enough energy to equal one natural gas power plant. That's a huge difference in the amount of...

    OT: Alternative Energy

    Are you sure about that? The windmills are made of steel. The process of making steel from mining to taconite all the way to turning it into steel produces a tremendous amount of carbon. I don't know the exact amount, but after watching this video on how steel is made, I can't possibly imagine...

    Has anyone here donated to an NIL?

    I donate every month to KTR. It's tied to my credit card and I don't even notice it. Like it or not, it's the world we live in. If you want to win, everyone needs to join.

    Football Rutgers and Schiano agree to Contract Extension (6.25M/yr)!!!!!

    If Schiano had the same NIL money that OSU and Michigan do, he would destroy them. He's a great coach doing a great job with very little NIL money. If you want a better record, then pony up.

    NIL Contributions

    I'm not crazy about the way NIL has turned out, but it's the reality we live in now. I'm signed up for an automatic donation each month. I'm happy with the way we improved and I want to keep getting better. However, it's just not possible without more NIL money, so I'm going to increase my...

    OT: Officially not coming to the NJ Shore

    This is great news. After construction, the net effect on carbon emissions would have been a wash. We're saving the ocean floor as well.

    That's it, Notre Lame is done. Why are they ranked number 10? So ridiculous.
