by this I'm sure you mean to imply, we have 3 years of 1st hand accounts of what covid-19 can do to a person.

you don't know how old this person's mom is. you don't know if they have cancer. or an autoimmune condition. or live with their parents. or live with or work with an immunocompromised population. or hell, maybe they just don't want to potentially get sick for life or die?

covid doesn't care how healthy you are. it's not "just a cold or flu" for everyone. yes you should still aim to be healthy and sustain a strong immune system in general, but we know that this doesn't always prevent a terrible and potentially fatal result of a covid-19 infection. if you haven't caught it yet, you don't want to.

Thank you!! Sheesh, I’m just looking to see if there are any painter reccs…I’ve already had a complicated pregnancy—trying to mitigate risk where I can.

What about a violent shitzu?

I think we all try to make sense of this horrific thing. Intelligent people want to know what would drive someone to do the unimaginable. It’s mental health issues. So it becomes human to everyone. The same mental health issues could be attributed to most violent behaviors. We draw a line in our mind between something being justified and unjustified. The line gets blurred when the evil doer is a cute girl that doesn’t look like she would hurt a fly. Sad

I just double checked and I appear to have typo'd the year in my comment. I've adjusted the comment to properly reflect that the date of this past Thursday was January 26, 2023 and not January 26, 2022. The rest of the comment remains accurate though.

Walk the freedom trail

Problem is it's really infrequent so if you miss your train you're screwed. I'd say drive to Wonderland and take the Blue Line.

Different "take the train, you rube" suggestion: park at the Wonderland Garage in Revere and take the Blue Line downtown to State.

The Red and Orange Lines are kind of messy but the Blue Line is clean, reliable, and efficient. And Wonderland is just off of Route 1 where you'll be driving from. The last 5-10 miles into the city can be the most brutal, so this plan lets you avoid it while taking the most reliable train line.

Redi in Newton, by the Eliot T Stop, is nice.

Go with 2.5mg or 5mg, maximum. Don't be tempted to take more, because it can take hours to kick in and varies by person and product.

You can get ones that have a blend of THC and CBD, which is really mellow and uplifting. Otherwise, any indica options should be chill as well ("indica = in da couch"). Enjoy!

The Last of Us does an amazing job at covering the MBTA

They are. Haverhill, Malden, Brookline and Melrose already. Most unions work on three year contract cycles, so we’re going to keep seeing these very contentious renegotiation break downs as contracts come up for renewal the next two years and teachers and support staff try to get CoL raises that match what’s happened with inflation and housing prices in greater Boston since the start of the pandemic.

Leominster is an hour from Alewife on a good day lol.

If you want CLASSIC Boston TV that isn’t Cheers, you want to start with all the Robert b Parker books and film you can get. He has the Jesse Stone series which is set in a small town. You then have classic Spenser: For Hire and A Man Called Hawk.

Something more lighthearted, Boston Legal is pretty great. The show Fringe is also set in Boston.

For documentary try “This is a Robbery. It’s about a famous museum heist and must have knowledge for these parts. There is also one on Netflix called “How to fix a drug scandal” about a few police drug lab bombshells that happened (relatively) recently

They were looking to do a small (but greater) amount of commercial flights out of Hanscom, but residents hate the idea and throw up enough opposition to kill most things. There was interest in using Hanscom for some flights like to NYC - things that don't warrant a 757 or anything large. It wouldn't replace Logan, but it could handle some flights except that residents are hugely opposed to it.

Looks like you got the wrong year

I don’t know if that’s a good rate but I’m sorry so many people here just assume you’re able bodied or willing to take the risk with your pregnancy. Best of luck OP.

Old School: The original Thomas Crowne Affair with Steve McQueen.

What if it was a violent pitbull that he left the kids alone with for 25 min. That's basically the same situation if his wife was clinically psychotic & unstable.

I've always wondered if the Red-Blue connector would be worth it compared to other projects.

Personally, it feels like a GLX from Union to Porter would be more useful for me. Or a GLX to Medford Square. How much are you trying to go Red to Blue other than the airport? For people on the Blue Line, it would open up commuting to Kendall Square easier, maybe South Station as well, though DTX and Chinatown aren't that far (Orange Line), unless you're looking to cross to the Seaport. A Blue Line extension to Lynn would get a lot more people on the subway. Resurrecting the Green Line A-Branch to Watertown would help a lot of people. Extending the Orange Line into Roslindale. Turning the Fairmount Commuter Rail into a new T line with frequent service would serve a large area and the heart of where Black people in Boston live. Making the Commuter Rail an electrified regional rail system with frequent, all-day service could make a huge difference - especially with the zoning bill that has density requirements near Commuter Rail stops. Using Track 61 to go from Back Bay to the BCEC and hook that up to good rail service. Giving Chelsea decent service (since it'll soon be the densest city in Massachusetts) maybe with the Orange Line forking at Sullivan or Assembly - and you could even extend that to the airport since the tracks go in that direction (and even back across the Blue Line tunnel into Boston). Or instead of forking the Orange Line, it could continue along the Grand Junction Path into Cambridge and to BU. It wouldn't exactly offer a connection to the Green and Red Lines, but it would run very close to Lechmere and Kendall.

I guess the Red-Blue connection has never felt as important to me as so many other wishes. The Green Line comes so frequently between Park and Government Center that it feels easy enough to get from Red to Blue (compared to so many other problems with the T) and I generally don't want the Blue Line, except to go to the airport. I guess of my dreams, a Red-Blue connector just feels like "yay, I guess I can shave 5 minutes off my airport trip now." Sure, that's fine, but I'd be more into projects that really opened up more places.

I've also always used the Blue Line for the airport. The Silver Line always frustrates the hell out of me. I'd rather change at Park, wait a couple minutes for a Green Line train and then change at Government Center for the Blue to take the shuttle than deal with the Silver Line. The Silver Line is so unpredictable. Between traffic and that absolutely awful switch over from electric to diesel, it's just nightmare fuel. Plus, the shuttles at the Blue Line are frequent and usually dedicated to one terminal rather than stopping at every terminal. Sure, if you're going to Terminal A, the Silver Line might be fine. By the time you get to Terminal E, it's annoying. I guess I've just always had good luck with the Blue Line and would rather deal with the transfer at Park than the Silver Line.

Again, I'd love to know if you see the Red-Blue connector differently or more worthwhile. It is slightly inconvenient to get to the Blue Line, but a lot of other places seem more annoying to get to.

Mt Washington is great, but don't waste your one day driving. Walk the Esplanade, Common, freedom trail, beacon hill, harbor walk. Get some seafood, especially clam chowder and lobster roll. Visit the USS Constitution and Cassin Young, Bunker Hill is nearby if you want to check that out.

Fantastic movies. Just not if you want full on accuracy.

Definitely The Town and The Departed if you haven't seen them.
