Not footy fans
Concomitant not in the NYT Spelling Bee word list.

@profanity.accountant I don't swear very much here because I can block all of the mouth-breathing assholes who piss me off
Not aware of any Nobel prizes that have come out of office parks in New Brunswick
Not quite that simple. Broken up and parts were sold to Nokia, including Bell Labs. Nokia is now vacating the legendary Bell Labs Murray Hill facility, where I spent some time early in my career, to move Bell Labs to an office park in New Brunswick.
Hard to get IT people to care about this because most of them think baud means b/s
That did it. Just cancelled. No reason to repeat speculation from someone with no credibility. Honestly, what's the point of paying for journalism if they're afraid to say an uncredible source is not credible?
