A New Jersey mayor is proposing the idea of a reverse congestion pricing toll after New York City implemented its controversial congestion pricing toll last week. Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, who is also running for governor of the Garden State, floated the idea, according to Fox 5 New York. "New Jersey has the same opportunity to push the buttons that New York is pushing against us," Fulop told the outlet. "We could do that to them, but the goal is to get to a table to have a reasonable solution." EX-NY STATE SENATOR TAUNTS NEW YORKER UPSET WITH CONGESTION TOLL: 'GET OVER IT' The mayor said he believes reverse congestion pricing is the appropriate response to New York City's new toll, which imposes fees on vehicles that enter busy parts of Manhattan as a way to encourage people to take the subway. "There's plenty of crossings between Staten Island, New York, Bergen County, Hudson County into New Jersey," Fulop said. "There's plenty of opportunities to have the same sort of impact fee that New York is putting on New Jersey." Fulop said he believes the money made from reverse congestion pricing should fund New Jersey’s mass transit system, which has suffered from delays and cancelations. "My view is that New Jersey Transit is a terrible product, and it should be invested in more, and until you get a reliable transportation system in New Jersey, you can't responsibly think that people are going to take the trains," Fulop said. "But this was an opportunity to get hundreds of millions of dollars into New Jersey Transit, and I think the governor just took a very easy political approach." There was initially the possibility for New Jersey to receive hundreds of millions of dollars from New York City's new toll, but that fell through amid litigation. The details of Fulop's proposal are not yet finalized, but he said gantries or toll sites could be stationed outside of tunnels and bridges in New Jersey. He said that, similar to congestion pricing, there may be exemptions or crossing credits. It is unclear if New Jersey residents would be required to pay the toll to reenter their home state like some New Yorkers do for congestion pricing.

starship 7 tomorrow wednesday 15th 4pm The seventh flight test of Starship is preparing to launch Wednesday, January 15 from Starbase in Texas. The one hour launch window opens at 4:00 p.m. CT. A live webcast of the flight test will begin about 35 minutes before liftoff, which you can watch on X @SpaceX and on spacex.com. You can also watch the webcast on the X TV app. The upcoming flight test will launch a new generation ship with significant upgrades, attempt Starship’s first payload deployment test, fly multiple reentry experiments geared towards ship catch and reuse, and launch and return the Super Heavy booster. A block of planned upgrades to the Starship upper stage will debut on this flight test, bringing major improvements to reliability and performance. The vehicle’s forward flaps have been reduced in size and shifted towards the vehicle tip and away from the heat shield, significantly reducing their exposure to reentry heating while simplifying the underlying mechanisms and protective tiling. Redesigns to the propulsion system, including a 25 percent increase in propellant volume, the vacuum jacketing of feedlines, a new fuel feedline system for the vehicle’s Raptor vacuum engines, and an improved propulsion avionics module controlling vehicle valves and reading sensors, all add additional vehicle performance and the ability to fly longer missions. The ship’s heat shield will also use the latest generation tiles and includes a backup layer to protect from missing or damaged tiles. The vehicle’s avionics underwent a complete redesign, adding additional capability and redundancy for increasingly complex missions like propellant transfer and ship return to launch site. Avionics upgrades include a more powerful flight computer, integrated antennas which combine Starlink, GPS, and backup RF communication functions into each unit, redesigned inertial navigation and star tracking sensors, integrated smart batteries and power units that distribute data and 2.7MW of power across the ship to 24 high-voltage actuators, and an increase to more than 30 vehicle cameras giving engineers insight into hardware performance across the vehicle during flight. With Starlink, the vehicle is capable of streaming more than 120 Mbps of real-time high-definition video and telemetry in every phase of flight, providing invaluable engineering data to rapidly iterate across all systems. While in space, Starship will deploy 10 Starlink simulators, similar in size and weight to next-generation Starlink satellites, to test Starship's payload deploy system. The Starlink simulators will be on the same suborbital trajectory as Starship, with splashdown targeted in the Indian Ocean. A relight of a single Raptor engine on Starship while in space is also planned. The flight test will include several experiments focused on ship return to launch site and catch. On Starship’s upper stage, a significant number of tiles have been removed to stress-test vulnerable areas across the vehicle. Multiple metallic tile options, including one with active cooling, will test alternative materials for protecting Starship during reentry. On the sides of the vehicle, non-structural versions of ship catch fittings are installed to test the fittings’ thermal performance, along with a smoothed and tapered edge of the tile line in this area to address hot spots observed during reentry on Starship’s sixth flight test. The ship’s reentry profile will also intentionally stress the structural limits of the flaps during the time of maximum reentry dynamic pressure. Finally, several radar sensors will be tested on the tower chopsticks with the goal of increasing landing navigation accuracy when measuring distances between the chopsticks and a returning vehicle during catch. The Super Heavy booster will utilize flight proven hardware for the first time, reusing a Raptor engine from the booster launched and returned on Starship’s fifth flight test. Hardware upgrades to the launch and catch tower will increase reliability for booster catch, including protections to the sensors on the tower chopsticks that were damaged at launch and resulted in the booster offshore divert on Starship’s previous flight test. Distinct vehicle and pad criteria must be met prior to a return and catch of the Super Heavy booster, requiring healthy systems on the booster and tower and a final manual command from the mission’s Flight Director. If this command is not sent prior to the completion of the boostback burn, or if automated health checks show unacceptable conditions with Super Heavy or the tower, the booster will default to a trajectory that takes it to a landing burn and soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. We accept no compromises when it comes to ensuring the safety of the public and our team, and the return will only take place if conditions are right.

i would love to be watching this but for the 3rd time in a row when the ducks are playing at the same time the victory stream is functioning like the jewish space laser wildfire weather control device i gave up with 4 minutes left in the 1st after 20 halts and powering the tv on/off 5 times i have fiber and did speedtest - sorry hisense tv chip - i do not have bandwidth problems

forest are really fucking good this feels like a smash and grab for someone

there was talk of a launch attempt this morning (12:01am) but they moved back to tomorrow Wednesday night 11:59pm, 3 hour window scrub was due to ice forming in a purge line on an auxiliary power unit that powers some of our hydraulic systems update link remains: https://www.blueorigin.com/news/new-glenn-ng-1-mission

i have long dreamed of a fleet of giant drones 3 miles in diameter which can deploy under a mesocyclone and prevent a tornado from reaching the ground it's entirely plausible with current technology +++ we spent somewhere between 4 and 6 trillion on ww2 which at the time was somewhere on order of 35-40% of gnp every year if we wanted to build infinity-billion-gallon water tanks in the rocky mountains to be able to douse a vei8 yellowstone event and turn the western us in to a mudpit, we could do it today it's just the cost +++ in 2023, the top 1% of American households had a total net worth of $43 trillion, which is 30% of the country's total net worth if they all gave up 10% of their net worth, we could solve for everything except earthquakes and the areas below sea level above mentioned we could also eliminate poverty, homelessness, cancer, debt, put 10000 people on mars, and build a daedulus ship for a 100-year round trip to barnard's star

it absolutely can be done and the cost is not prohibitive the delta law was passed in 1958 and between then and completion of the delta works in 1997 the total cost was 13 billion guilders, about US$6.5 billion, in 1997 money value they thought they would be good to the year 2100 but global warming is accelerating their timetable for the next rebuild over here in trumpia, we've got a number of natural disasters we could defend against, if we wanted to, and some we can't places the dutch would say "this is not possible": all of florida, louisiana, delmarva the dutch absolutely would agree to drain galveston bay and build 10 miles of deltawork defenses, and then the concrete piping to drain a direct cat5 hit up the ship channel that drowns the entire metro; very easy, very doable, just a matter of political will and the $ solving for southland wildfires can also be done dams desalination goats gravity land pipes prisoners & screws (solar-driven archimedes) sacrifice every undeveloped inch of land in the simi hills and the san bernadino, san gabriel & santa monica mountains no wilderness next to and above LA no flora no fauna no games no fun we're not solving for interstellar space travel it would cost less than the property losses of the current catastrophe and the space laser bitch would love it WeAtHeR KoNtRoL!!!!

who will spend $10 billion on a sports team? any hire is just a placeholder until we find out if stephen will hire a gm or if he intends to continue his father's legacy jones turned 82 on october 13th this is a horrendous thing to say, but we are down to actuarial tables in the calculation of fucks given about the cowboys

i would on top of what he has earned with us, his NPV is already close to 10m that's enough to bankroll a no-bling lifestyle for 2 wives, 4 kids, 8 grandkids then whatever you earn in the league is gravy for boats 'n shit if he flounders someplace else he's on the gilbert track if he has a similar injury pattern he's on the gilbert track nil giveth, nil taketh away as long as he does not go to a sec team he's in my good graces if we have to meet him in the playoffs, that's great for him and great for us i know which qb i'm betting on -

hank sums up my feelings overall to which i will add the following; note i have not read this thread in more than a year so if my take is a duplication my apologies.... i offer the ewers camp the following for their consideration: right now they can run with the narrative that he didn't self-sack and he is not injury-prone because of "the texas offensive line" (not true, but it sells, at this time) the hate engine doesn't watch our games, the above narrative feeds confirmation bias, and right now, it plays with 80% of league GMs who don't know any different nil anywhere and not win a title is extremely probable nil anywhere and get injured again means this decision was a 1-time payday have both of those things happen somewhere else, and the current narrative is played out will lloyd's insure against self-sacking or niggling ankle/shoulder injuries? is the ewers camp satisfied with what ewers has earned through nil + the final nil payday next year somewhere else + whatever he can make in the nfl? does the ewers camp think he has 8-figure earning potential in the league? here's some numbers for a certain player, the team data is obfuscated to illustrate the point; the team names were the divisions those teams were in at the time of the 1970 merger the last number format is year.contract (in that year) Career Earnings: $2,668,585 10 years, 20 contracts, 13 contracts with zero earnings nfc west Drafted Terminated 1.1 nfc west Practice Terminated 1.2 afc east Practice Expired 1.3 afc east SFA Terminated 2 nfc central SFA Terminated 3.1 afc west Practice Expired 3.2 afc west SFA Terminated 4 expansion SFA Terminated 5.1 expansion Practice Renegotiated 5.2 expansion SFA Terminated 5.3 expansion SFA Terminated 6 afc central SFA Terminated 7 afc central Practice Renegotiated 8.1 nfc east SFA Terminated 8.2 afc east Practice Terminated 9.1 nfc east SFA Expired 9.2 afc west SFA Terminated 10.1 afc east Practice Elevated 10.2 afc east Practice Expired 10.3 afc east Practice Elevated 10.4 his last contract expired in january 23 the individual whose career is above illustrated was the last high-profile quarterback to transfer from The University Garrett Gilbert source: https://overthecap.com/player/garrett-gilbert/3153 -
everyone gets unlimited mulligans in rocketry that said BO needs to set their launch windows in daylight until they have 3 or 4 launches under their belt one would think they would prefer daylight for maximum visibility of the stack in the event of an anomaly +++ https://www.blueorigin.com/news/new-glenn-ng-1-mission News | Jan 13, 2025 New Glenn NG-1 Mission Updates We’re standing down on today’s launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue that will take us beyond our launch window. We’re reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt. +++ After a string of chronological changes to the target liftoff time, Blue Origin crews scrubbed Monday's early morning maiden launch attempt of the 321-foot New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. "We’re standing down on today’s launch attempt to troubleshoot a vehicle subsystem issue that will take us beyond our launch window. We’re reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt," Blue Origin officials announced in a 3:09 a.m. EST tweet. No further details were released. Now, space fans — ranging from hardy spectators who packed Jetty Park to New Glenn webcast viewers around the world — await a new target launch time and date from the private space company. Blue Origin officials released few details during the initial New Glenn launch try. After announcing that propellant loading was proceeding at 8 p.m. Sunday, a subsequent string of Monday morning tweets notified the public of liftoff target times of 1:31, 1:52, 2:07, 2:27, 2:48 and 3:15 a.m. before the scrub was announced. Among the key hopes of the Blue Origin team is to land the booster on this first attempt. Per a Blue Origin NG-1 mission timeline, the New Glenn first-stage booster should land atop the drone ship Jacklyn hundreds of miles offshore in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 9 minutes, 28 seconds after liftoff. "We want to be clear about our objectives. This is our first flight and we’ve prepared rigorously for it. But no amount of ground testing or mission simulations is a replacement for flying this rocket. Our key objective today is to reach orbit safely. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake," a Blue Origin tweet said. "We know landing the booster on our first try offshore in the Atlantic is ambitious — but we’re going for it. No matter what happens, we’ll learn, refine, and apply that knowledge to our next launch," the tweet said. +++ in addition to the vehicle issue(s) whatever they are, the streamcast was odd.... the BO site video was fed to Nasa Spaceflight, however the countdown clock was out of synch by as much as 30 minutes.... and yet the graphics in the NSF stream were exactly the same as the BO "source" video.... BO was adding time to the clock in the NSF feed but not in the feed on the BO site.... very strange, and definitely not ready for primetime
