I read that getting into really cold water helps you lose weight!

​

I'll just stick to my diet and walking but you guys have fun in that painful, painful water

you're thinking of military sonar. This is not that

>But not all sound generated by human activity and high-resolution geophysical surveys can be heard by large whales like humpbacks, who hear in lower frequencies than other species, Staaterman said.

In addition, no whale strandings have ever been documented from offshore wind development noise, said Benjamin Laws, deputy chief for the permits and conservation division at NOAA's Fisheries Office of Protected Resources.

The bill to spur wind farm development was written by Sweeney (D) and Kean (R) in 2010. Murphy just signed the thing they wrote and finally got passed.

I don't know why you think these lies will work in NJ, but I assure you, we are not some country bumpkins with the memory of a goldfish

Avalon by the sea and egg harbor are very low key, family friendly. (Much less going on at night, less noise) but they're expensive.

Also they say egg harbor isn't named for the rotten egg smell that comes at low tide because of the sulfur content in the marshes but I don't believe them.

Just an FYI, Jersey City just became the most expensive city for rent in the entire country.

To save some money I'd suggest having one car between the two of you and living close to a train station that's a bit farther away from NYC than Jersey City or Hoboken

Look at where the train stations are on these maps

https://www.njtransit.com/accessibility/System-Map

Avoid the Raritan line, I live at the ass end of it and the train only comes during rush hour, only on the weekdays. Maybe it's more frequent closer to NYC but you'll have to check the schedule. Also check the schedule for the river line, I don't know how frequent those trains are

Then look at the towns/cities close to the train station on this site, it tells you about affordability, walkability & crime rate

2200 a month is not enough to live in NJ, period. You can't afford to live anywhere in NJ on that salary without government assistance which you can't get because you're not a US citizen (I assume because you wrote 2.200 instead of 2,200)

Princeton is one of the most expensive places to live in NJ. 4,000 a month = 48,000 a year. Still not enough for NJ, especially not Princeton.

To put how expensive it is to live in this state - 58,000 for a single person per year qualifies for government assistance with rent aka low income housing, in every single county in this state. In Princeton, you can make up to 74,000 a year and still qualify for low income housing.

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.

Clinton and McCain didn't have a rabid following. Trump and Sanders did. You act like I didn't see the crazy populism and the cult of personality with my own eyes.

>If there's a problem with voters

The problem is populism, it's destructive. And this shit right here is exactly why progressives don't do better, the utter contempt for voters you need in order to have your politicians win is always there, always mentioned. It's not just left wing populists it's their elected leaders and campaign staff too. The "I have the only correct politics and how you idiots don't see it is beyond me" is terrifying for non populists because it's the beginning of authoritarianism
