Reply to Well, there’s always next year. by Darbo-Jenkins
Giants fans have zero to be upset about. They should have been content with a 7-10 season given the shake up in the off season.
Instead they made it to the divisional rounds of the playoffs with a hodgepodge team and a blown budget. Giant fans should be ecstatic about their season. Jones went from 2020&2021 butter fingers McGee to showing that after like 3 fails QB/offensive systems that he can still develop and significantly improve. Seriously, Giants fans should be over the moon right now.
That said, Philly fans are the worst and deserve nothing. Go grease some lamp posts.

I mean we shouldn’t get fined while driving without the license in our possession. For private business such as to identify yourself you should be able to use a digital ID.

Yeah I didn't have any issues a while back when I couldn't make it. Things have changed I guess.

Yikes. I guess it depends. Also I did have that experience in 2012.

You didn’t get notification? I had jury duty last week (orientation on Jan 17) but I got my notification of summons in the mail on like Dec 20something.

Just this last December, I did the virtual orientation and was expected to serve in person the next day, my son was sick and I couldn't find anyone to watch him on short notice. They made a big deal of it when I emailed and called them. I had to send them an email of my son's doctor's note that she gave us for his school. He was legitimately sick and wound up missing 3 days.

Have to second meetup - I haven't used it for language but I've used it for other things and it's a great gathering method.

Probably a walk-in clinic like City MD or Multi Care? Call one and ask if they offer the services you require and then schedule them to waste the least amount of time between exams.

Also depends on the class. Some classes the professor goes through the syllabus in 10 minutes and says well start next class. Others start and have an assignment due the 2nd day right off the bat

That’s still putting your phone in “plain sight”. They can say they saw an alert or anything they want to legally obtain that phone.
And remember it’s pretty grey if you can refuse your face to unlock a phone. Courts seem to think it’s ok for the most part to be required to.
You need to be really trusting of that officer.
There’s a reason so many security conscious people lock down their phones at TSA checkpoints disabling Face ID etc.
Until they prohibit physical cards, that’s all I’d give them.

How do you feel about openly racist neighbors and fuck all to do? Bonus points for rampant heroin and crack use.

Reply to comment by SuperconductingCat in Summit NJ transit parking by SuperconductingCat
Yes! If you’re going to be by Mountain Ave west of Murray Hill Station, it’s two zones to Summit. East of Murray Hill, it’s one zone. It does not serve the area west of Summit Medical Group Berkeley Heights Urgent Carw Center (it goes south of 78 there).
If you are getting a monthly rail pass, you can take this bus for free (or any NJT bus up to any 9/10/11 zone ride, depending on the cost of your station’s monthly pass in the “Travel Flexibility” section here: https://www.njtransit.com/tickets/train-tickets )
Get a monthly if you’re making 15+ round trips a month or like the convenience of not having to deal with train/bus tickets. They go by the calendar month, so you may have to get a weekly or 20-trip to get to the beginning of the next one.
Otherwise, do 20-trip “flex” passes if you make 8-15 round trips a month, and single tickets if fewer than 8 round trips a month.
For max flexibility, I’d suggest a monthly pass from Murray Hill or Berkeley Heights, that way you can either take the Gladstone Branch or get on/off at Summit via the bus or car.
Don’t forget pretax transit benefits! https://www.njtransit.com/taxbenefits

Kind of a weird town. Like the other person said, lots of bigotry and "good ol boys" and lots of strip malls. No real walk ability and no real downtown area (as far as I could tell). There's a big rehab there and from what I hear a decent drug problem. Overall seems like kind of a boring dead end place, at least to me personally, maybe your priorities are different. Some really beautiful and interesting nature around there though, I love Double Trouble park and fishing in the area.

Your "privacy"? Laughable concept if you're already carrying around a phone everywhere, and I'm willing to bet you already have personal info scattered all across the internet. I'd 100% take my license in my Apple Wallet.

Why WOULDN'T I? I already use my phone for tap to pay, have my insurance card in the Geico app, etc. I can still carry my license if I want, but the option for it to be in my phone would be awesome.

Why not? It would be very convenient; I already only keep my insurance card in the Geico app.

I'd already do this to show them my insurance card tbh, so what's the matter? I'm really not sure why I'd care anyway. I know it's the classic "if I have nothing to hide" argument, but seriously I'd take my license on my phone in a heartbeat.

You mean we should all have a state ID with driving privileges stated in the digital file associated with it?

Guessing you need it for school or something? I had to pass an auditory exam to get into my education program.
If you need a good quick auditory screening - Dr. John Starke in Hazlet. No nonsense old dude (he's like 80), you're in and out in 20 minutes. Then you can get a physical at one of the doctors on Beers Street, then a vision check at one of the doctors there.
