I don’t recall any information being included, but I’ll post the source and poke around when I’m near my desktop.

Yeah they were definitely here before the Europeans so idk what you mean. And yes they benefit from a green space, why not try tolerance instead of purging an animal that isn't dangerous at all.

Toxicants, not toxins :-) there’s a difference!

Reply to comment by McFlyParadox in SJC rules Mayor Wu had the authority to require municipal workers to get the COVID-19 vaccine - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito
Literally ran first in human clinical trials on the vaccine during the pandemic, so I guess you can argue both sides have valid statements.
I'm not arguing who's right here when it comes to EUA's I'm pointing out that, as a medical researcher myself, the when of requirements matters. We were still collecting data when first shots in arms were being injected under the EUA.
>Under section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), when the Secretary of HHS declares that an emergency use authorization is appropriate, FDA may authorize unapproved medical products or unapproved uses of approved medical products to be used in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions caused by CBRN threat agents when certain criteria are met, including there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. The HHS declaration to support such use must be based on one of four types of determinations of threats or potential threats by the Secretary of HHS, Homeland Security, or Defense.
May authorize unapproved medical products...
The vaccine didn't get approval until much later, but essentially it still wasn't approved, and still in clinical trials. The fda's own website states this clearly. Vaccines were still in phase 3, or wide scale clinical trials looking at safety and efficacy:
https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/vaccines/emergency-use-authorization-vaccines-explained
I'm 100% with the FDA on this, the benefits outweighed the risks by far.
I'm also with the workers on this- until the vaccine is officially approved no person should be forced to take it against their will as a condition of their continued employment.
How do you negotiate the middle ground of "we need workers and we need to stop the spread?" I have no answers for that, but I do not believe that terminating employees was the right way.

Depends on what the contaminants were right. Flounder and shellfish would be fucked if it was PCB contamination because those would settle at the river bottom. Most other fish might be fine in that situation

They fish on the Assembly side now and sometimes are assholes and leave fishing line and bait lying around 🤬. My dog managed to grab a bundle of fishing wire and bait before we could see it. Thankfully no hook and the ER vet could make her vomit it back up with no harm.
Most of them are fine and harmless enough but some are real assholes who clearly don’t care about littering or any other user of the park.

Have you ever been to the fields by the Chestnuthill reservoir? I’ve seen like thousands of goose poops there at times and everyone avoids it like the plague. It’s disgusting and for some reason it’s like candy to dogs 🤢

He grew up in MA from when he was 3 until he was 18, mostly in Cambridge, with the exception of a year in Mexico. That makes him a Bostonian in my book, regardless of him living elsewhere for more of his life at this point.

> I'm not talking about vilifying police, Im talking about vilifying unions in general
Police unions (and other federal/state job unions) are radically different from private sector unions in almost all functions and forms. No one is vilifying unions in general. They're vilifying police unions, which are used almost exclusively to protect police abuses

Don’t forget about Alaska! Alaskan salmon fishing is highly regulated and some of the highest quality fish in the world

Those are not the common catch; but it’s funny people don’t wanna believe New England waters are fucked. Yes folks we’ve done a lot to clean them up, but how can you quantify a century of dumping polluted in the river; believe what ever y’all want lol

I've done 3 layovers in DFW from INC to BOS and it was fine. DFW is pretty large but there's a metro on the second floor in case your gates are far apart.

You'll be flying into Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) with American. With United, it's San Francisco (SFO). With Delta, you'll have a choice between Atlanta (ATL), Detroit (DTW), Minneapolis-St Paul (MSP), or Seattle-Tacoma (SEA).
Make sure you budget enough time for the layover to clear customs, navigate the airport to your connecting flight to BOS, and to account for any unexpected delays. I'd recommend at minimum 2 hours for your layover, more if you choose to fly into one of the super massive airports at ATL or DFW.
Korean Air offers a direct flight from Seoul-Incheon (ICN) to BOS if you want to avoid a layover, although it'll likely be more expensive than the US-based airlines.
