Trump: "Elect Jeff Deihl, he'll rule MA with an iron fist"
MA voters: Last time we were ruled with an iron fist we started a war and made our own country with hookers and blackjack.

I wouldn’t vote GOP even if they ran unopposed. I’d just not vote.

Watertown was my go-to RMV for decades, but the appointment system has brought it down a bunch of notches. I made an appt to get something done at 2 in the afternoon a couple of months ago, and the line of people waiting for walk in transactions was a couple of dozen people long. Right as my time was called and I went in, the representative came out to let everyone in that line know there would be no walk in appointments.

Good way to supercharge that new years diet! /s
Likely a bug. Just lay low, sleep a lot, stay hydrated. If you can't hold stuff down for more than 72 hours check in with a doc. Dehydration is serious.

Reply to Looking for a good neighborhood to live in near-ish to Boston College (early 20s woman) by Physicccc
I graduated from BC in 2017 and lived in Coolidge Corner, Brookline my first 2yrs out and loved it! Relatively close to campus and easy access on the T Green Line (street level trolley) but it feels more like an adult neighborhood. If you also want to do more stuff in Boston proper, Brookline is a nice in-between spot. Lots of fun restaurants, shops, and parks in Brookline too, definitely give it a consideration

So you’re saying if I’m patient and call I can get an appt? I think I’d rather be on hold at home than wait in line at the RMV…

I can’t figure out how to get a reservation for this! I only see the option for an out of state transfer…

“Dig up dirt on Healey”? That’s how they spent their money? Presumably that was a Jim Lyons initiative.
What an out of touch dip.

Boston social Discord server: https://discord.gg/jzmpywRZkE
I'm on this Discord server pretty regularly — especially during work hours — but honestly my best social experiences have occurred when I've narrowed down an interest and found people with that common interest. With randos it's much more of a gamble of finding people you'll click with.

Always blue line out of the airport!
Also, Thursdays the new Friday because everybody with even a single wfh day a week isn't in on Friday

And he got to become Pres of the NCAA, just an all around win for Baker. College athletics is in a rough spot so he probably saw a lot better opportunity there. I think he’ll do a good job

If you like hiking and the outdoors, Boston’s chapter of the AMC (Appalachian Mountain Club) is pretty great for meeting people! And if you don’t have a car, there are always people willing to give rides to the hikes. I’ve made lots of friends through it.

Columbia Point, Neponset River between Tenean Beach and Mattapan, Deer Island. Pro tip, these all look cooler in the dark.

Hahaha same, talk about a lie with the name of the Blue Line station being "Airport".
Does anyone know the history of why they wouldn't have just built a 1 station extension or some kind of People Mover to the actual Terminals? Like they have in Chicago, Miami, Madrid, Barcelona, Stockholm....I could go on and on about cities that have trains that go all the way to the airport terminals.

Veggie Galaxy

Their vegetarian version has the cheese curds.
-
Their vegan version has a nutritional yeast-based cheese sauce.
I've tried both, and I think the vegan version is objectively tastier. I order it literally every time I go there.

You’re doing this every week but work won’t let you expense an Uber? Or you’re doing it for personal travel so can buy the plane tickets but not the taxi?

Reply to comment by n8loller in Three of the four 86 buses on their way to save me! by jlh859
this happened to me the other day. the worst part, there was some Irish cop funeral happening, and there were a bunch of uniformed cops talking on the sidewalk. so i had to walk through them once, where i could feel them all looking at me, and then i saw by bus zoom past me.
then to add insult to injury i had to angrily walk back through the group of sad Irish cops 🥲

I did this but decided to go to the RMV in Braintree because I figured it would be less busy and had parking. I was not able to book an appointment online so I called them and was on hold for 2.5 hours. There wasn’t really any other way I could find to get an appointment. Once I was able to talk with a real person I ran through all the documents to make they sure they were filled out correctly and they scheduled me for the next day. It was pretty quick when I got to the RMV, waited about 15 min for my appointment and the actual appointment was like 10 min.

I know but the discoverability is poor because they tend to be away from where the silver line stops. The silver line is on the huge map of boston public transit and those buses aren't. You have to keep in mind that tourists have zero idea what they're doing (nor is the burden on them). They then have to figure out how to purchase a CharlieTicket. Even I didn't realize that the 22 and 88 come every five min or so. I figured they had same frequency as silver line.

Try leominster, you wont believe the difference from watertown You will be out in 15 minutes. So you can wait in waterown for 2 hours or head out to leominster and be back home before your number is called. lol The drive from boston is more than 30 minutes but its not a bad ride out route2. I used to live in brighton and watertown was a nighmare for anything.
