Reply to comment by Pogue_Mahone_ in TIL Tolkien assisted on the Oxford Dictionary's first edition, focused on 'W' words waggle to warlock. He "learned more in those two years than in any other"; and certain etymologies continued to puzzle him for years, with many pages of notes written later on 'walrus' for a lecture at Leeds by PianoCharged

that's funny. so then their name for the whale is also just their word for "strange or odd", as in "that animal is so weird, let's just call it weird"

Reply to NJIT or Rutgers for physics? by fancyzebras

If its strictly Physiscs, then go with Rutgers. NJIT is more for Engineering. Believe it or not, we had to go across the street to Rutgers Newark for our Physics classes.

Reply to 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

it always comes back to New Jersey.

I've been to a lot of places and seen a lot things in this world so far, and there's always someone or something that links it back to New Jersey.

I mentioned those plants specifically because you can simply grow them in your garden legally like tomatoes, basil, and sunflower; however, you cannot grow cannabis in your garden. Growing those plants gives you the raw materials to make illegal or mind altering substances.

your analogy that gardening is to cannabis like chemistry is to methamphetamine in a legal sense does not hold water.

Reply to Got rear ended this morning 9am with car full of kids, driver fled the scene, but cops gave ME a hard time. by OceanAvenue187

You don't have to call the cops or leave your car at the accident.

In fact, you should just get the other drivers info, call your insurance and their insurance, then move along with your day.

The cop was probably just annoyed with you for being that typical karen who calls the cops and starts crying about a literal accident.

He probably condescendingly said, "well you moved from the scene too, so I have no way of knowing what happened and who was at fault"
