Thanks for the clarification. It looks like there is no consensus on why the magnetic poles flip.

Yes, and yes. The magnetic field has flipped before, and during the transition the magnetic field is very weak.
However IIRC it takes on the order of hundred to thousands of years, so probably not something we'll have to worry about. Although the timeline in the article OP is referring to seems to state it's happening faster than we previously thought. (IIRC, In the 90's the core was spinning faster than the planet, by 2009 it was spinning slower)

Reply to Deaf's Delight Café in Newark, New Jersey (the only cafe in the NYC area devoted to the deaf community) is once again at risk of folding. Owner, Sandy Rivers, also says she's currently being evicted from her home apartment due to the money she's put into the café. by madsheb
Landlord forces her to keep her business closed for 6 months because they didn't repair the roof in a timely manner and then surprised Pikachu face when she can't pay rent because her business wasn't open... Unbelievable.
Why would she be required to pay rent if the location was uninhabitable due to the roof? Sounds like she needs a lawyer pro bono to tell her landlord to fuck off. I hope someone like the ACLU helps her.

They do. They have a tag on them that specifies how many watts they're good for if it's not molded into the plastic.

Reply to As a lifelong Bergen resident: Fuck Google Maps. Yeah, it's only 8 miles, but you try making the trip from Bergenfield to Yonkers just to get kielbasa. And this happens with any store, not just Polish delis. Sidenote: Does anyone know a good place to get Kielbasa near Bergen? by BootPastaHeroin
There is a "search this area" feature of Google maps. Move the map so NY isn't on screen and then click that. You won't get results for Yonkers anymore.

>Why can’t progressives just say what they want? Affordable housing!
I did say that. I literally said it was the solution.

Aren't you then just exacerbating the issue of high rents and pricing people out of their neighborhoods? There will always be demand for housing with easy access to NYC. I doubt rent prices in JC would go down from expanding the path. Yes it would increase property values but it would further gentrify areas where people of low income rent and would be forced out. The solution is to build more affordable housing skyward so there is a greater supply of units available in the areas that need lower rents.

Reply to Pro-fascism Bolsonaro truck has been driving through Union County (and probably other areas in/around NJ & NYC) for 5+ months, blaring music. by JerseyGiantsFan
They had a whole parade of trucks/cars with Bolsonaro flags and signs in the ironbound in Newark the day of the Brazilian election. It was pretty surreal.
