Diplurus is literally in my backyard (or maybe my backyard is in diplurus to be precise). I’m wondering where specifically it and others were found. Anyone know a good list of fossil finds in NJ?

Reply to NJIT or Rutgers for physics? by fancyzebras
The education you get from either will be comparable. NJIT’s social scene blows, its in a shitty area, the buildings are somewhat older, but classes will probably be smaller and labs may be more accessible. I would look into what research is being done at either and go by that if you wanna work in a lab or by whichever is an easier commute if you wanna drive. If social scene is important i would skip NJIT. I grew up in new brunswick and went to NJIT and thats my opinion, great school but most people are too busy to socialize.

He used to live in the area, according to the Yahoo article I read. Maybe he attended the school?

Dryptosaurus is a genus of tyrannosauroid that lived approximately 67 million years ago during the late Cretaceous period in what is now New Jersey. Dryptosaurus was a large, bipedal, ground-dwelling carnivore, that grow up to 7.5 m long and weigh up to 1.5 t. Dryptosaurus seems to have had relatively long arms when compared with more derived tyrannosaurs. Its hands, which are also relatively large were believed to have had three fingers.

I actually went to NJIT for Applied Physics. I liked how they separated coursework into clearly-defined concentrations. I ended up doing Optics, and was able to easily get a job in the optics industry, and eventually semiconductors. All of my professors were knowledgeable and helpful, with opportunities for research & additional study.
I'm not too familiar with Rutgers curriculum. I think Optics does pidgeon-hole you a bit, so I'd recommend the CS/Physics double-major for a more useful general-purpose degree.
PM me if you want.
Edit: As other posters mention, NJIT is a lot cheaper. However, when I graduated (2013), it didn't have the most typical 'college experience', and the gender ratio was pretty skewed male. From what I hear though, it's gotten a lot better...not sure how important this is to you. Personally, I'd still pick NJIT and pocket the cash.

I disagree that the cilantro garden is better than the curry zone, never been to the Palace of Asia so I can't comment on that

My physicist uncle discovered a sub-atomic particle and I was a GI Bill-educated technologist. Set your sights as high as your ability. Do you have the grades and active duty experience to qualify to a better-regarded department?

Flemington is in Hunterdon, cilantro garden is better than curry zone, and Palace of Asia in Kingston in Mercer is much better than both.

Idk about physics but my nickname for Rutgers is Slutgers for a reason. Even in the workforce between 5 different jobs, I STILL hear from my managers that they Prefer NJIT grads over Rutgers grads because THEY KNOW WHAT YHE FUCK THEY ARE DOING!! And they’re Great Employees. Plus I know transfer students that like NJIT better because of how diverse and creative their student peers are.
Depression is at an all time high because there’s more Males than Females, but I STILL say go to NJIT because you’re there to learn & you’ll thank me later when you’re making BANK

oh goodness, I wasn't expecting to write an effort post today. Ok
Mediterranean - Sahara restaurant in Montgomery
Cantonese - Ya Ya Noddle, right next door to Sahara. Get the pork belly buns
Americana - rocky hill inn (they have wild meats. is that the term? deer and wild bore and elk and stuff, it's really good, def try it if you eat meat)
Kacha Thai Restaurant - Hopewell (was the best Thai restaurant in the state a few years back, might still be, IDK)
Pizza - Palermo's and/or DeLorenzo's in Trenton. Both excellent.
The Curry Zone in Flemington (Flemington is close enough to mercer county)
Flemington BBQ - Portuguese BBQ
Enzo’s La Piccola Cucina - Lawrenceville (Italian)
best food towns in Mercer - Princeton and Hopewell. So many great restaurants in such a small, walkable area, plus there's ice cream shops and cute coffee shops and small, interesting shops so you can go eat a light lunch, walk around, have dinner then get a small treat after
and I gotta get back to work so just tell me what cuisine and I'll give you a restaurant.

I'm probably closest to Hyposaurus, but next closest is the swaggy "Dryp"tosaurus.

…two sentences later…

Which is it?
