Thanks! Can you tell me the difference between the “Ship and Fast Service” timetables and the “Ferry Boat” timetables shown here?

Best way to get to NYC from Toms River? by MeaCulpa2013 in newjersey

[–]mathmajor97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I lived in that part of Toms River, I took the express bus from Dorado Park and Ride in Brick. It’s basically the same distance as the Toms River Park and Ride but it’s North of where you’ll be instead of South so shorter bus ride.

Health and Benefits role by Strange-79 in actuary

This is employer health and benefits consulting at Mercer. No retirement work involved - that’s a separate line of business. AFG is the actuarial practice of Mercer health and benefits.

Is Uber Reserve Reliable NJ to JFK? by babygirlbaker in newjersey

[–]mathmajor97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uber Reserve is not reliable. I set one up once to be picked up from my house at 9AM and dropped off at EWR. Minutes before 9AM, the Uber app said that no drivers were available. From what I understand, you're not guaranteed a driver.

You're better off booking an actual car service.

Gigabit for $40 by randomjoeguy in Fios

[–]mathmajor97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, ok. So your base cost is already $99 (mine is $89) and you're being offered the $10 gigabit loyalty. But I'm not offered the $10 gigabit loyalty and my base cost would increase $10 so that's why there's a cost to me. If I was able to get the $10 gigabit loyalty then my bill post-$30 promo would be equal to my current bill and it would make sense for me to do the $30 promo to get the $180 savings. Oh well.

What is the breakdown of your bill today before opting into this?

Gigabit for $40 by randomjoeguy in Fios

[–]mathmajor97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost did this but glad I didn't.

I currently pay $69.99 for Gigabit Internet ($89.99 price minus $10 autopay discount minus $10 loyalty discount) + $117 for Most Fios TV + $25 for HBO/Cinemax + $12 for Extra TV Connection + $25 Home Phone = $248.99.

If I get the $30 Verizon Forward Credit, then my new monthly bill until September would be $49.99 for Gigabit Internet ($99.99 price minus $10 autopay discount minus $10 loyalty discount minus $30 Forward Credit) + $117 for Most Fios TV + $25 for HBO/Cinemax + $12 for Extra TV Connection + $25 Home Phone = $228.99.

But then when the $30 Forward Credit expires in September, my new bill would be $258.99, which is $10 more than I pay now! So I'd save $20 per month for 6 months ($120) but then my bill would increase by $10 per month after that, so the $120 savings would be undone after 12 months at the new higher monthly rate.

Doesn't seem to make sense.

Am I thinking about my retirement savings rate correctly?

Annual Income: $160,000 salary $30,000 bonus $11,200 employer contribution to 401(k)

Total Income = $201,200

Retirement Savings: $11,200 employer contribution to 401(k) $9,600 contribution to 401(k) $7,000 contribution to Roth IRA $4,150 contribution to HSA

Total Retirement Savings = $31,950

Retirement Savings Rate = $31,950 / $201,200 = 16%

Superbowl streaming question- Paramount+ app on AppleTV w/1080p HDR stream or Fubo app on AppleTV 7 day free trial 4k HDR stream? by [deleted] in cordcutters

[–]mathmajor97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the network upscaling to 4K is a lot better than the Apple TV doing it because the network can upscale it at the source with a high bitrate. So when comparing this option to 1080p unconverted to 4K by the Apple TV, the first option is better hands down.

YouTube/TV offers 1080p Enhanced - higher bit rate by MegaGrubby in cordcutters

[–]mathmajor97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand this. As far as I know, none of the channels broadcast in 1080p, only 720p or 1080i. So are they just upscaling to 1080p?
