Yes. 1 guy on the back picks up over 10 tons of trash a day. One of the easiest jobs in society” yeah right. Look up 10 toughest jobs in America. You might learn something. When it’s snowing and 20 below out these guys are still picking up your shit so have a little respect and not try to shit on city workers.

Even heavy zip ties wear out after a while, especially if it’s being used every week and slammed around by the workers.

Worcester (Town of Two Betrayals) sucks to make new quality friends unless you're an anarchist punk type or a boomer. Definitely through jobs or community volunteering here would be the best bet at finding good friends.
I rarely interact with people now that I work at home but all my friends I had here so far are women because the only way I could connect myself was making a tinder profile geared for hangouts and not dating. That oddly worked well enough but again with the lack of other men to hang out with.
Jobs like UPS in shrewsbury have their own unions with plenty of people that would hang out with you, too bad I worked there when it was just composed of old people.

Holy crap, have you watched those guys work? They literally run and jump and bend over and lift heavy loads all day long, in all weather, while exposed to horrendous noise and odors.
Say whatever you want about the city's crappy collection programs, but the collectors themselves work their asses off. I couldn't do their job. This issue is not about them.

Mine shattered within a month of getting it. We just need better bins, not everyone can be home and/or awake between 6 and 7:30 AM.

Reply to I cannot believe there is a Big Green Egg just sitting there on Grafton Street and it hasn't been stolen. by CoolAbdul
It hasn't been stolen probably because the owner has a Big Black Gun or a pitbull.

Yeah the trash guys in this city are a joke. You'd think doing one of the easiest jobs in society wouldn't be so tough for them, but I guess most can't even read at a high school level.

I’ve watched the collection guys throw them like they are pitching a softball. That surly can’t help.
If the city enforced the no bins out the night before rule, it would help so much. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually heard of anyone getting a fine for it.

No. They are attached with a thin cheap zip tie. The recycle trucks(not the DPW) toss them around and they break..use the old ones instead…also people put their bins out the night before. The city asks that you put them out in the morning to alleviate that but most don’t

Re: difficulty, imo, a lot of recipes are time-consuming, but not technique-heavy. A good food processor is key. Definitely don't be intimidated.
The initial spice purchasing shouldn't be too bad if you go to an Indian market and buy in bulk, same w/ dry lentils, chickpeas, even a big block of paneer to freeze. We hunt down recipes on the internet and make adjustments based on spice/flavor preference. This recipe for saag paneer for example.
Re: dosa, I draw the line at Indian breads, mostly to keep carbs down. I looked up a recipe though and yowza, that's quite the affair and commitment, even for an experienced baker! Good luck w/ that one :)

Its actually good Indian food? I’m always really suspicious of places serving multiple types of cuisine.

I would be really interested in trying this and I’m a good cook but I’ve just always read that Indian food is extremely difficult to make. That and the list of ingredients I need when I look up recipes for Chole/ Chana masala or daal makes it seem really expensive. Where do you get your recipes?
Do you know if they sell premade dosa batter at any of the markets? That might be an easier (and cheaper) place to start?

I don’t know tbh. It’s an expensive type of food to get. That’s been pretty consistent in my experience living in several areas/major cities in the US.
It’s always kind of baffles me. Woodlands the other day ordering Samosa, 3 curries, Riati, and naan was almost $80. Didn’t even include tamarind sauce or chutney with the order. Also the smallest portions I’ve ever seen. The yellow daal also had no flavor. We didn’t even eat it.

And not just for the obvious reasons, but also because that site layout is just fucking impossible to read.

Sorry man, that sucks. My advice is to do what every guy does when they get broken up with- hit the gym and get shredded. You can probably make some friends there, if not your confidence and self-esteem will improve and carry you through this tough time.
I’d offer to hang out, but I’m 35 with a wife and a kid on the way, so I’m about to disappear off the face of the earth in a few months. Wish me luck.

I wasn't impressed by Spoodles. Just felt like a bougie deli to me. If I'm going to do that, I'll go to NERB.

Sucks the trails have broken glass and pass so closely to tents/dens of homeless people.
It's a shame.
