Reply to Volunteering opportunities in Jersey City by boredaf_boi
Don't know your resume, but if you're well educated like many on this board, I can tell you the college bound HS kids from 1st gen immigrant families, or others where no one has ever gone to college, desperately need the intensive "guidance counseling" that their families and the JC school system are unable to give. Many go to HCCC or Rutgers (according to their accomplishments) simply because it's the path of least resistance. My wife took my daughter's best friend under her wing and got her into a competitive private school with enough aid to attend. I'm sure it could even be by Zoom.

Reply to Hit-and-run councilwoman’s pre-trial hearing set for Jan. 10 in Essex County court by SoundMachineJC
I didn't know there were 'pre-trial hearings on the status of discovery evidence' for misdemeanors, most of us mortals just show up and get ground up. Do you think it means they are trying to get the videos excluded from evidence?

That would make sense, but it doesn't happen. When they catch them it's more or less luck in spotting the obscured plate, and the reflective paint would never be seen by the naked eye of a cop.

Looks like this is the stuff. https://photoblocker.com/ They claim it's not even illegal! So where does this lead? Facial recognition cams instead of plate cams? Then laws against wearing masks in your car? I remember a story from pre-covid where guy drove the cops in AZ nuts by driving with a mask on.

To shoot light back at the camera from an oblique angle like that requires a coating with cubic reflector nanobeads like are in reflective tape and cloth, they direct light back at it's source. If it were just the letters or the background, it might be readable, but in its entirety its not.

No, but he could. I had that removed from another roof, but that roofer's work leaked basically immediately!

S&S Roofing. Seymond is not a slick guy with color brochures like Capitol, but he pointed out that the parapets that Capital told me they'd wrap the roof over were actually crumbling and needed rebuilding. He took his knife and plunged it to the hilt in the mortar! He looks at the big picture not just slapping a roof on.

- Harbor Freight, because you can never have too many cheap Chinese tools
- A Red Hook style Costco Downtown to kick BJ's ass
- We no longer have a 'bait and tackle' when we used to have 2!

Once more, did you lose the key or do you want to just change it? Big difference in process.

Reply to soup suggestions by jjvvllxx
Ok, you said homemade. I know you didn't mean your home, but here's my goto fast soup.
Go to 99 Ranch and buy 2 60g packs of MAMA brand Shrimp Tom Yum ramen, an onion, eggs, and cilantro (or mint or thai holy basil). Some fish or meat if desired.
While you boil 3 cups of water, slice onions (amount to your taste) as thin as you can, beat 2 eggs, and chop some cilantro. Put water in bowl and swirl it fast with a spoon and then while it's still spinning drizzle in the eggs from the bowl through a fork to make an egg drop soup. Then dump in the sliced onions followed by the noodles and soup packets. Toss in meat if you wish, like roast pork, sliced shrimp, or thinly sliced raw fish, the latter 2 will cook in the hot soup. Top with cilantro when noodles are done. Makes a qt of soup, 1 large or 2 small servings.
Seriously yummy, and about 10 minutes of prep. I put on the water and have the eggs and onions ready by the time it's boiling.
EDIT: saw the shellfish allergy comment, buy a chicken ramen.

Your landlord should handle this. But if it's like mine and you still actually have the key but just want to re-key( because...what, a sketchy roommate?) It's super easy to do with the door open, hardly any tools required. If you lost the key however you're going to have to have the mailman leave it open, landlord does not have that key.

Welcome to r/JerseyCity! Someone should do a parody of the classic west view New Yorker cover with Marin boulevard standing in for 9th Avenue! Journal Square would pop up like Chicago with Newark barely visible on the horizon.

I have actually never heard that '25% of net' number, far more commonly used is 1/3 or 30% of gross income.

You can easily find a place for 1/3 your gross rent in the low $70ks, that is around $2k/mo. I have a 1br DT listed right now, and just leased a 2br in the Heights in that range. Don't listen to the 'luxury' snobs about having to live 'East of Grove'.

Reply to It is noodle season! Does anyone have any recommendations where to get fresh egg noodle? Or, whats your favorite frozen egg noodle brand? I tried couple frozen egg noodle brands from 99 Ranch Market, but they are okay/not the best. TY! by EksXxx
If you're really serious, make them yourself! We have done this for many years. You can make the dough easily in a regular breadmaker, then roll it and cut it with a tabletop pasta roller. Great for linguini, ravioli and pierogi too! The night I proposed I made lamb ravioli.

It's hard to imagine you're allergic to rodent baits, but are you allergic to snap traps too? How about being a little less high maintenance and helpless?
Yeah, sensitive subject. I just had a brand new tenant break their lease because the previous occupant was a slob and let mice get a foothold, but being a landlord who doesn't want an angry, high maintenance tenant around, I was happy to let them go. Cheap 1br available in HP folks! Mice have been vanquished, BYOC preferred. (Bring your own cat)

Be sure to enter the lotteries for the charters like LCCS or Ethical Community Charter School which are in your area. I believe if you get into their pre-k you are into the k-8.

Try again. ADG being a low life and running from an accident doesn't mean that the cyclist wasn't a complete asshole too. He bears the whole responsibility for being hit. What happened after is a different story. Had she stopped there'd be nothing to talk about.
