Don't ever go to Ireland and rent a car at Dublin Airport. The first thing you encounter leaving the airport is a big ass roundabout with traffic lights. You just got off a flight that landed at 5AM, you're in a rental car, sitting in the drivers seat on the wrong side of the car and driving on the wrong side of the road.
I can handle it. Im from there. But I pity the poor average US tourist that has no clue.
I think Ireland invented traffic lights on roundabouts. They are everywhere and they suck.

Reply to Aquarium question for parents by every1getslaid
A compact umbrella stroller is my preference for kids over 6 months, although I always carried a moby wrap as well in case they got fussy. I have a backpack diaper bag and it was never a problem. I don't think they'll look twice at a carrier pack, even with storage.

No. And the same applies to the Museum of Science.

Dumb comment but I didn’t understand how it’s racist?

Walking past an auto body lot isn't very pedestrian friendly in my experience.
People around here will complain about parking for everything, even in places clearly built for the convenience and comfort of train riders when they have better options not even far away.

Pretty sad to look at, 90% Dorchester, Mattapan, Roxbury and nearly 100% minority citizens. Terrible terrible stuff.

Commuted Brighton to W Rox for years and almost all of the accidents on my route were people who stopped in a rotary and got rear ended

There's 3 sets of fireworks tonight. Fireworks on the Common follow the parade (which starts at 5:50).
The other fireworks displays are at Copley Square and Boston Harbor, both at midnight. Copley also has a laser lightshow.

If you don't expect extra travel time with the T you're doing it wrong.

You know, I kind of get it. I shared a tandem spot with a jeep and it was really easy to back out, even without the backup camera. Here I was thinking I have skills… But it’s so big for street parking and it must use a lot of fuel

I don’t know why people can’t just… not kill other people
Edit: downvoters are probably the suspects

You’ve already established that I don’t have a job. Very sad brain you have.
