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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
