You’re not wrong. Saus is subpar.

It’s more authentic for the dirtbag Boston Dropkick experience if you don’t shower

Reply to PSA: Orange Line shutdown! by Mumbles76
You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me. At this point it’s like they purposely shut multiple lines down that can be used as alternates for each other at the same time to make it as inconvenient as possible

will this information alter your course of treatment?

Fellow Canadian chiming in here, maybe I'm being nostalgic but Harvey's poutine holds a special place in my heart.

I’ve heard a couple people experiencing something similar within the past week so I think it’s likely

The smell is manure, and the dripping's manure. Now turn to Chapter 1 of Math Safari.

> better than most places in Canada
As a Canadian, I respectfully disagree.
Even the poutine at Costco in Canada is better than Saus's in my humble opinion. Either location.
But since you clearly have sampled your poutine, I may have to go today to do some further research.

Reply to comment by jtet93 in 2 Young Children Killed in Duxbury Home, Authorities Say by Boston1_
I watched it, that was heart wrenching. The terrible loss of the kids, a woman who was clearly out of her mind and obviously remorseful, which is what sticks with you. So much lip service is paid to mental health, so little is actually put in to treating it. Tragedies like these can be if at least not prevented then mitigated.

Yeah that's what I thought. I never remember losing power in Brighton or Cambridge. Very rare in quincy too. Annually in Weymouth 😆

No. We get almost none. Power seems to go out on the south shore & the cape every time a kindergartener sneezes. Outages in Boston are minimal and tend get fixed fast. (Electricians up here do get bat signals that they need to rush down to the cape... again... to do line work.)

2nd that grocery shopping is easy in that area. Buy reusable bags, only one person, one bag should be fine. At least it is for me when I go to the grocery store. Also, there are multiple grocery delivery services Instacart, Amazon, Imperfect Foods, etc.
Have lived in Boston for 20 years without a car without issue.

Reply to comment by ProofIllustrious327 in City Council Summary by Fearless-Knee2008
I read it. I know how long it takes. It's not that much of a read. I'm not saying it should be a TikTok grab your attention in 6 seconds and sell you a product format. But there is a better way to present the data without it being repetitive and artificially long.
Condensing something to make it easier to parse doesn't make the reader stupid, inattentive or make the text ineffective.
Rather than saying X paid Y for Z to happen like for line, tabulate it. Im not suggesting this to "pander" to the quick media consumption we have today but to make it more readable. The rest of the info (that isn't grant approvals) can go written as is and not be missed by people who skim read. (And I'd wager this info can be more important than grant approvals because it involves actual debated policy)

Great for power outages, but do you get that many in the city proper?

Sure. If someone has no mortgage / owns it outright. But assuming the owner of Sam lagrasaa’s isn’t a fool, they wouldn’t operate a money losing business just because they own a building.

Just want to say avoid Baramor. They were terrible.
Side note: all the poutine I had in Ontario had cheese curds too, so this is not only a Quebec thing.
