@freemo What parts of the gun laws do you not support? I have no interest in owning a gun, so I don't know what our gun laws actually are.
Agreed on the property tax, for sure. To some extent, it's "pick your poison" in terms of tax types, but we're in the top 10 in terms of overall tax burden.
People not from Jersey have this impression that it sucks, and people from Jersey love it.
I think it's bc the points of interest in the state are very diffuse. It doesn't have a stand-out center of cultural gravity for the mind to latch on to.
But what it does have is easy access to damn near everything people like.
@trinsec may the odds be ever in your favor!
#protip Don't hang stuff from your doors, unless you've got heavy duty hinges. And you probably don't.
If you don't heed this advice, you're likely going to have your top hinge start pulling out from the door frame.
@nocoursewalks It's so infuriating.
Save all your year-end payslips and tax returns forever. And if you want bonus points, year-end statements from all your financial service providers.
BTW, there should be a service that simply does this.
I hope no one here ever has to withdraw money from a Roth IRA. You can withdraw your contributions tax-free, but you'll pay taxes and a 10% penalty on any gains earned. Only problem is, if you have migrated providers over the years, tracking of which money is which is probably lost. Good luck to ya.
@foxxtrot Ah, searching in DDG wasn't giving me much, but Google is turning up some stuff. In a perfect world, I could find something in the hundreds, around the price of instant hot water dispensers.
@trinsec Gradual descent into madness, near insolvency, and capture of nearly all your attention.

“I am VERY concerned about the increasing weight of EVS… The battery alone of a GM Hummer EV weighs 10 pounds less than an entire Honda Civic… That has a SIGNIFICANT impact on safety for all users.” —Jennifer Homendy, NTSB chair. #trbam
@ashfurrow@masto.ashfurrow.com @mdhughes just think of the outrage if there were any sort of concerted effort to push cheap+light. Heads would have rolled.
Elective democracy means the politicians will largely be a manifestation of the id of the electorate.
@Bronwyn depends on what you want to do. There are tons of tours if you want to see the usual sites.
You might try asking a travel agent. They actually don't cost anything to consumers, bc most prices in the tourism industry have a travel agent markup, whether or not they're sold through an agent.
But if you want to set your own itinerary and see remote stuff, renting a car is probably the play.
When my wife and I went in 2016, we concluded that we should have just eaten groceries, as the mid market restaurants are not very good and are super expensive. If you treat it like a super frugal trip, Iceland doesn't have to break the bank.

If you've ever considered doing a custom architected home build, watch a couple of seasons of Grand Designs and know that it's very likely you'll have a similar experience.
@anildash I've got that going in my renovated kitchen. Another thing I'm looking forward to is a fridge with an autofilling water dispenser. My system would be complete if I could find a way to have instant carbonated water.

@molly0xfff my thought exactly! It severely de-pegged just a few days ago!
