It has nothing to due with the state. It’s one of the additional security measures in response to 9/11, yes that is how many times it has been pushed back.

Yes. But our rail lines are maintained better. The state has better and stricter regulations. And all New Jersey firefighters are required to complete the first two levels of Hazmat training in order to graduate the fire academy.
Could what happened in Ohio happened here? Sure. But we are much better prepared to handle it. We had incidents like Ohio decades ago. We learned our lessons.

Yes. Former Assemblyman Tim Eustace had a bill to stop “bomb trains” in NJ. And one of the areas he spoke about was the Bergenfield area

Does being a member of Clear negate any of these requirements? It’s associated with Homeland Security and all.

This just in... depart for your destination a few minutes early so you can make allowances for other drivers to be human

I don’t know how we’re supposed to sympathize with the joker. There is no sympathizing with the joker. I won’t watch the second one. This is trash disguised as something meaningful. It is not meaningful. The first one was a really terrible movie and somehow people got hyped up about it.

For the love of God, don't do this. People leave too big of a gap as it is and it ends up blocking access to turn lanes when you're further back. Super annoying if you manage to get past it and see people leaving spaces between cars that you could safely parallel park in.

what’s the difference between the two for traveling if one just has a star on it

True. Global Entry is only $15 more than TSA Precheck though so you might as well go for that option even if you don't travel internationally that often. It includes TSA Precheck.
The interview isn't really an interview tbh. They just confirm what you put on your application, ask why you traveled to certain countries (business or leisure), and how the program works. Took 5-10 minutes.

its funny, all the offenders i see are on the older side. which surprised me because i expected younger people to do it more, but the number of times ill see some soccer mom or middle aged guy watching a show or straight looking down into their lap is disconcerting

The problem with this area is that each bagel store has extreme bad components and if I took the good qualities of all them, I’d have a great bagel store.
One has good ‘sandwich’ bagels and tasty eggs, but the service is painfully slow and often gets our order wrong (even if they’re not busy); another the eggs are great, but the sausages are halved links (unacceptable); a different one has crappy hard NYC style bagels, but great juices, shakes, and nice people. 🤷♀️
I miss Palisades Park bagels, but it’s out of the way now. I also like Lodi and Bob’s, but haven’t been often enough to really judge.

A bunch of the same shit that spilled in Ohio actually got spilled into Mantua Creek when a bridge collapsed in Paulsboro about 10 years ago.

I use First Financial. Their rates are pretty good, and they have a branch in Freehold.

Passport card also works domestically and doesn't require an interview + background check. If you're not traveling internationally GE is kind of a waste of time and money (though if you are, the passport card is basically useless).

I’m still not understanding. You park your car on the street. This is not a private parking lot or something is it?
Is it correct to say that your car is NOT blocking their driveway, but is parked between two driveways on the street, so in front of a home? Are you parking in front of your neighbors house and that’s why they are mad? They do not own the street parking in front of their home. Can you not park in front of your own home?
I cannot imagine that a traffic officer would give you a ticket, even if they have been called by the neighbor, if you are not parked illegally. How do you even call a traffic officer?
I’m not really sure what to tell you, maybe take a picture of your car every time you park and then if you get a ticket take another pic with the ticket still on your car to prove the car was parked legally?
Or see if you have a case for harassment on the neighbor if they keep calling the traffic police on you?
Or call the traffic police yourself and ask them why they keep coming when they know you are parking legally.

I like it when you give a little "beep" and the person loses their shit because you dared honk at them.

Well, that's the thing! We didn't understand the first two tickets at first because we're not blocking the driveway. These were issued because the neighbor wanted to park their car in our parking spot (which is a street parking only). So then we made sure to check constantly since they tend to report randomly if ever we parked at the spot that they wanted to park.
Talked to the officers in charge on that day and discussed our side for us to prevent from receiving a ticket. Officers then will check and tell if we're blocking their driveway, but was told that we don't. And it's been happening for a few months now.

I'll just slide over in that case and I drive an electric so my car is almost always the quickest off of the line.
