Councilwoman at large? I can't believe it's 2023 and we're still body shaming.

Olive oil shouldn't necessarily last you a long time, it degrades pretty quickly and I've met way too many people who are dunking their bread in rancid oil because they think it's like wine.
I use it for roasting veg (yes I've read the arguments against that and I don't care), it gets mixed in with farro/roasted veg salads, bean salads, roasted veg salads, regular salads. I use it in certain breads that I bake. I use it to eat a loaf of bread with (fresh boule + olive oil mixed with red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and some grated parm = the best). I use it in hummus even though I know that's non-traditional. I use it in pestos and other spreads. I toss it with pasta/garlic/parm when I'm too lazy for real cooking.
Tonight I'm making cod gyros (yes, homemade pita) so I'll use olive oil for that.
I just love olive oil, and life is too short for the mediocre stuff.

I have Avocado oil too, it has different purposes for me.

Single, no pets, mostly vegetarian, probably $80-$100/week. But I don't want to talk about my grocery bill when I have to buy olive oil.

It accumulates throughout the year, 10 days rollover.

Got rid of my car and never looked back. It's so much easier and less complicated without one, not to mention the amount of money saved and the impact on my carbon footprint.

I had a layover in Dallas once, I think it gave me a good idea of what living there must be like.

I mean, you pretty much just described most US cities.
Also, I might be misunderstanding this part:
>Also… the fares!! Buses, LR, PATH, MTA! Everything has a different payment method.
I use the same app for my bus and light rail tickets. The MTA is operated in a different state, so. But I also use a metro card on the PATH.
Anyway, not every city is for everyone. You don't have to live here and I hope you find a place that fits your needs.

4 weeks at my small Pharma. Most of the big ones will tell you on their careers page how much they have, and check glassdoor. Important to note that most will keep pto and sick separate, so it will be 15 days or whatever pto with 5 sick days. Also some shut down between Xmas and new years so remember to look at company holidays.

They find a below average apartment or they live in areas that aren't "decent" or they get roommates.

Best response here.

If diversity matters then JC is a better pick than Hoboken, especially if you're counting economic diversity among your diversity metrics. I also think the restaurants in JC are much better than the ones in Hoboken. Hoboken is safer, JC is neighborhood by neighborhood. Can't speak to what dating looks like for queer women in either city.
