Sounds like the pump is blocked (assuming when the water was warm you heard something like the pump on. It staying on, and water not decreasing would indicate a block.

First thing id check, with the pump unplugged, is to see if the intake is blocked. We put a pump in our basement during a renovation, and turns out a lot of debris from the renovation wound up in the reservoir, blocking it.

I'd use your hand first, but then also check narrower parts with a flat head.

After that, plug it in, pour a bucket of water or two in, and see if the pump turns on, and if it does, if water gets evacuated.

If water doesn't leave, then you may have a blockage in your pipe. Depending on where it exits the building you may be able to check this out yourself.

Food trucks are always expensive. They dont make as much money as you think they do.

Ahh yes velveeta. Very comparable stuff.

You should probably unplug it. The motor may be about to burn out. The heat is probably from the motor overheating

It’s boring here. Move to Brooklyn. Can’t wait to leave.

Yea now the macncheese will cost $28.

Yes and no. Food trucks have a reputation for being expensive but giving massive portions…looks like OP is charging a lot but giving small portions.

Yes, but NJ taxes are roughly the same as NYS taxes (actually a smidge more in most brackets, but JC/Hoboken offers SIGNIFICANTLY better infrastructure than Long Island or Westchester)

It’s the city taxes that make the most difference

That one is more complicated. In short, yes but you'll get a credit towards NJ state taxes so you aren't actually 'double taxed.' Have to file a return in both states and the math for calculating what you owe is a bit weird but it basically works out to be similar to working in only one state for most people since the NJ versus NY rates are similar enough.

But you still pay NY state taxes right?

You pay NYC city income tax based on your residency not your work location. So NJ residency = no city taxes

If you don't live in NYC, you won't pay NYC tax. For something so simple, there sure is no shortage of confusion about this.

>Jersey is nicer than Brooklyn.

I mean, which part? Most of "Brownstone Brooklyn" in nicer than NJ if you ask me...

Unless the portions are monstrous this is crazy pricing

Coming to DoorDash soon.

Shouldn’t that make it less expensive?

I can make velveeta shells with fresh cooked bacon at home for less than $5. Im not going out in this cold to get boxed mac.

Come try it

Why would you post these prices? Are you trying to make sure no one shops here and spreads the word?

Someome mentioned this, but I'll re-iterate, your NYC friends will NEVER visit you, like ever.

That said, it's nice here. If you have access to a car, it's super easy to get to places that feel more suburban.

There's not a ton of green spaces in Jersey City, which is, to me the biggest drawback.

Seems pricey but hey its a food truck.

I keep hearing conflicting things on taxes. I read the code and it looked to me like working in NYC should require you to pay City taxes, but I am not a tax lawyer. One of the tax attorneys in my firm lives in JC and says he saves on taxes so I guess it's probably true.

Move wherever she wants. She works at home and you’re likely never there. She wins

The judicial system is historically awful. So is vigilante justice. Are we talking about this one instance or the idea that open carry states have significant increases in killings after they change their laws? I disagree with idea that "open carry states seem to handle it pretty decently." I am against people being killed.

I don't really have an opinion on this bus situation other than that it looks bad. Both the woman and the bus driver had what looked like opportunities to stop the fight and de-escalate. The guy pulled the woman off the bus driver (after waiting too long) and then tried to de-escalate, and defended himself without looking like he was trying to deal out punishment. I don't know what happened before or after. Was this the bus driver who shot the people running away from him?

Huge point about the taxes
