Reply to comment by GarlVinlandSaga in MBTA to close part of Orange Line to work on slow zones it said were eliminated, but weren’t, during full shutdown by ik1nky
Paid for parking at the Braintree garage via the forced bullshit app. Two weeks later get a non-payment violation in the mail and then had my appeal denied. Straight up robbery. The MBTA can get fucked and I will be recouping my $10 and quite frankly, I might just say fuck it from here on out. I'm almost 30 now, I could use the early morning climb to get the blood pumping.

Fair enough. I was looking at it more in terms of actually compiling and putting together the case that they will present to the judge and jury.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Does anyone recommend a 3rd party gas supplier? by armoguy94
Hi, my natural gas bills from National Grid show them as separate, contrary to what you said.
This page (mass.gov) states:
>If you are a gas customer in Massachusetts, you have the option of choosing a natural gas supplier other than your gas company.
Edit: National Grid also states MA homeowners are encouraged to shop for 3rd party gas suppliers. They link to the second link in my original post, which is the nondescript page to shop for suppliers.

I wonder if "slow zones" will still exist like Savin Hill because if the train goes faster than 15 MPH everyone might die.

I don’t think most if any plans would cover more than 2 since ADA recommends every six months. Most plans would be up to $5k (more for couples or families) and 2 cleanings (some only cover 1 annual visit). If you have an HSA you could use that to pay for additional visits, but you could also check with Tufts Dental School. If you’re willing to be worked on by a dental student, you can get very cheap/free dental care

Dental insurance covering 2 cleanings/year is standard. Get a flexible spending account and you can pay for the extra cleanings from that.

Maybe it has something to do with switching at JFK?
(I may just be outing myself as knowing nothing about how the trains work, IDK)

Reply to comment by InfiniteJessica in Harvard Job Salary by [deleted]
I'm sure everyone has a different experience but mine was that basically everyone below middle management was on easy street with occasional upticks in activity corresponding to important academic calendar dates, and most of the managers weren't killing themselves either

The DA has already said they plan to charge her with murder ASAP.

Ah yes, the union train drivers who sneak on to the rails each night to dig them up just to slow your commute down. Get a grip

Generally people leave those Harvard jobs because the amount of work is overwhelming. Just a little heads up.

Depends on if the cop manufactured the testimony. Yes they could have colluded to create false testimony but the DA likely has CYA.

Exactly!! I can’t think of any reason running them back to back makes sense. Especially given how slow they go.

Reply to comment by Exit_127 in Greater Boston, what's your last gas bill? by Miserable_Ride666
64 day, 60 at night. I forgot to put the heat down to 60 at night the other day and it was so uncomfortably hot. Idk how people sleep in that temperature regularly.

The article discusses this. They're hybrid battery-wired trains so they don't have to rebuild tunnels and bridges, but the trains will otherwise be powered by catenary wires.
