It's been over 5 months. Still think it's insane that we need big closures at this point.

Never thought I'd see /r/boston upvote anti-car agenda

Last I remember being on here, people were downvoting someone suggesting more people take bikes to work because "we're not all 20 year olds" and "some of us can't show up to work sweaty"

How do you know?

That's very little. It's possible that your heat is included in your rent as it is shared by the building, for example a boiler in the basement.

$329.25 for 141 therms. We have gas heat and hot water for a 1400 Sq ft condo.

So in your mind, it's not a benefit to reduce weather related power outages unless you can eliminate them completely?

Oil is the worst. If you can avoid renting a place with oil, do so.

Snow sucks, snow.

75 therms, $181.96. 2400 sqf SFH. Night temp 58, day temp 62. Gas for heating, hot water, and cooking. Two persons, and we often shower after working out at gym

Absolutely. check out r/notjustbikes

Don Saklad would have been proud (RIP)

Influence, not authority

Thank god. If there’s one thing we desperately need is more labs!

BUM BUM

Trying to sell sleeping under your lab bench as desirable, like a teeny tiny house.

You had one guess and ya blew it

Thankyou. Great detailed recap!

I clicked on the link thinking the exact same thing… was not surprised and yet sort of disappointed

Generally speaking anytime you enter / leave free shuttle bus there is no fare; the subway gates will be left open at those stops. No promises that that will happen in your situation though.

High end condos for lab workers! Work from home finally reaches the physical sciences!

Natural gas isn’t a single consistent mix of molecules like propane, it’s a mix of hydrocarbons and some suppliers have mixes that produce more heat than others, so that’s more valuable. A therm is about 100k BTU, so whatever amount of the gas you’re getting produces that much heat, is a therm of gas.

But, roughly, it’s about 100 cubic feet of natural gas to 1 therm.

One machine handles all of those steps in the mailing process. (Well multiple machines because of the volume). But the interface that connects them to the computer system also handles things like posting them in electronic format. Both systems are there and running whether you use them or not.

And they don't pay for stamps. They get a primo bulk rate that is probably cheaper than the bulk non-profit rate (which is something like $0.14)

Boston public transit is consistently ranked as one of the best in the US. Granted, a big part of that has to do with the fact that most public transit in the US blows chunks, but it’s pretty common knowledge

The same places all the other electricity in this state comes from.
