This is some minority report stuff right here, stopping a perpetrator before a crime occurs.

Poor training?

These days that actually sounds a little low.

Finally, a good cop.

Yeah because people can't read the signs saying "no ball playing"

Precheck + Clear = best combo.

Everytime I am at the airport, I breeze right through security. It also helps that my credit card reimbursed me for the membership cost for both TSA Precheck & Clear.

Chambered round and poorly trained police officer.

Lighting load is dwarfed by the washer and dryers too. 240V motor and thermal load.

Always 2 here…

Birthday party soap bubbles.

The most safe way to get up to the Heights from downtown is to go through Hoboken on their quiet streets to the 9th st light rail stop in Hoboken, take the elevator up to the Heights, ride up one block to Palisade, and go explore. It's the best way for safety, and less hills too.

Then it sounds reasonable for winter.

That seems in the ballpark for last month. Lots of warm days, but few very very cold days where your heat probably ran constantly. The rest of the variance depends on bunch of other factors as people here have pointed out. (apartment/home? Corner unit? Lots of windows? heat pump/resistance heat? temperature on thermostat? etc. etc. etc.)

Unless you’ve extensive light usage lighting is a rounding error on most home electric bills.

Even a few 60W incandescents are dwarfed by a simple 1500W space heater running at the same time. AC and electric heat dwarf even them.

I totally recommend LED’s, but let’s not oversell it. Unless your lighting Times Square, odds are you’re saving < $10 a month if you do the math. The bigger savings is actually the longevity and not replacing them as often.

The tough it out way is obviously up Palisade. But if you work it, there's other less traveled N-S streets between Palisade and Central like Oakland and Sherman. There's a patch of discontinuous road mess between Prospect & Ferry that would require some navigation, but past that it's simple.

That sucks. Wonder how this stuff ends up happening. You hear about faulty service weapons injuring officers from time to time.

Pedaling usually works for me

ELIZABETH — A Jersey City police officer who accidentally shot himself late Tuesday afternoon is expected to make a recovery.

RLS Metro Breaking News reported the officer was removing his holster while on West Jersey Street in Elizabeth around 5:30 p.m. His service weapon went off shooting him in the groin.

The officer was taken to University Hospital in Newark where he is expected to recover, according to the Union County Prosecutor's Office, which is investigating the incident along with Jersey City and Elizabeth police.

14th Street just doesn't have good bicycle infrastructure, sadly, which is really only a problem during rush hour when the elevator is full.

You can actually go under the 139 ramp to avoid the scary intersections. It's a much better route with growing bike lanes to the new housing developments.

Safety concerns should not be neglected. Too many terrible drivers on NJ roads. 14th street viaduct has many speeders.

Be extra careful when crossing route 139, a short highway section dividing JC with numerous traffic violations daily that are ignored.

Yeah that's a lot. In the summer when I have the ac going my bill is like $120

It's high, but like others have said there are a lot of variables here.

Personally, I would consider a $200 bill to be excessive, but there are SO MANY factors. How often do you cook and bake at home? What kind of light bulbs do you use? How much AC do you actually use? Do you watch a lot of TV? When working from home, do you use a lot of electronics? Do you have good (ie, direct) sun exposure (not the same as good amount of daylight!)

On a personal note, we just had our highest Winter bill ever in JC, but much of it can be attributed to hosting family and friends a lot over the holidays, the PSE&G rate increase (~10% increase compared to last year?) and additional usage as a result of our recent move. I expect our usage to normalize in the coming months. We have a large 2bd unit (just shy of 1200sf) and reside over 40 stories high, but we have direct sun exposure from sunrise to sunset, so that helps keep the apartment warm without having to use much AC at all. We also use LED bulbs throughout our unit, which I find lower our electrical bill substantially. Unfortunately, we now have electrical stove/oven, so that will incur a substantial bump in our electrical bill given how often we cook and bake at home.

I’m by the western slopes it used to take me about an hour when I worked in midtown, sometimes longer. The 125 didn’t run often enough and the 119 was a hike and half (better for ppl on the eastern side). The jitneys were basically it lol. I just got sick of it and got a job in NJ, 30 min commute. No more risk of a jitney breaking down, not passing by, being cramped, bus smelling like an old rag lol.
