Reply to Cities with best commute to NYC and good schools, to buy home by Odd-Falcon-8234

  1. Cranberry (HS is Princeton, but taxes are half of what princetonians pay), plus Princeton Junction train station has express trains to newark (and then continue into Penn station)

  2. West Windsor

  3. South Brunswick

The above 3 are good options if you are looking for a less crowded suburban lifestyle.

Commute would likely be about 1hr 30min, but you get more bang for your buck on the house when compared to north jersey

Reply to comment by Marabuto1994 in Does uber seriously divide up the state as “east” and “west” of parkway? as far as rates go by Marabuto1994

Just went and double checked the county line, there is a little sliver of Monmouth County not included. Looks like the shore zone actually starts at Wilkson Creek, but most of Keyport is in the shore zone.

Here's the zoom in of the border on the Uber rate map. I (very crudely) drew in the Monmouth / Middlesex county line. https://imgur.com/a/4HmciuP

Reply to Where is Edison's Chinatown? by Top_Ad5385

If it's what I'm thinking of, it's not exactly a walkable Chinatown. There's a high concentration Chinese/Taiwanese grocery stores and restaurants on the southern end of Edison between rt 27 and rt 1 including a few dim sum and dessert shops in Festival Plaza (where Hmart, which is not Chinese, is), Kam Man Foods, 99 Ranch on rt 1 south, and a bunch of lovely restaurants on Old Post Road including Prince Tea House and Golden Seafood Restaurant. There may be a dozen boba tea shops in the vicinity as well.

Until today I'd thought of it as a pan-Asian-town since there are Malaysian, Vietnamese, and Korean businesses intermixed with them, but I can see why someone would think of it as a Chinatown.

Reply to I’m out of state for work and need to renew my drivers license, I have some questions about the online renewal. by [deleted]

The temporary license will get you through a traffic stop no problem. (source, happened to me).

If you plan on getting a drink with it, A place that is even remotely strict on id's will probably not accept it.

even if they give you the vertical one still, it shouldn't be a problem in 99% of places as they will double check your birthdate. The purpose of the vertical one is to make it obvious that it needs extra attention.

The one gotcha is if they allow you to renew a vertical one online. I could see that being one of the cases where you need to go in, as people's looks tend to change a fair amount between 17 and 21.

Reply to comment by cC2Panda in Southern Regional graduate, now a Princeton University student, charged in Jan. 6 riot at U.S. Capitol by Meetybeefy

These "both sides" fuck heads insist there is "another side" of the argument (just like the covid denying imbeciles). No there is no other side, there was zero "massive fraud" and all the cherry picked jurisdictions laughed trumps BS out of court. Guantanamo Bay is so much more than these trump worshipping unpatriotic garbage deserve.
