I wonder if that would be a valid reason to not have to go to jury duty. There is no law that says you must have a Read ID nor a passport, so people can legitimately and legally say they can not serve on a jury because they can not get into the court house.

We're wicked sma'ht in MA so one of us is going to point out meaningless spelling /typo mistakes. That is the way. That and it's Reddit. By the way, I did grant you an English degree. You should see it in the mail next week.

Your subject asks the opposite question than does the body of your post, fyi

In my own personal experiences: Scituate and Carlisle do not have trash pick up. Waltham, Bedford, and Westford do have curbside pickup.

Agreed, that libraries are remaking themselves for modern times and have not relegated themselves to being obsolete with just books anymore.

A month or two ago I borrowed my libraries telescope (although the seeing was terrible that week so I ended up returning it unused but will try again) and right now I am burrowing a Kindle reader to see if I might want to get one of my own which of course leads into these libraries also subscribing to Overdrive where you can check out eBooks. Also don't forget to check out the audio CD section for great box sets if you ever wanted to check out a famous artist you might only be somewhat familiar with (e.g. Chuck Berry).

Because when the race is different by enough votes that those uncounted and problem votes won't matter. Meaning if you are showing 90% of the vote is counted and you are leading by 20,000 votes and they know the uncounted and problem ballots total up to 15,000, then even if every single one goes to the losing candidate, they still lose. So they call it. It is when the vote is close enough that those same ballots can pull the election one way or the other that they won't call a race for either until all are accounted for.

This is likely better for the tree since keeping the trunk of the tree constantly wet could harm it. The tree will still get the concentrated water being directed into the ground immediately around it,

There are a lot of different things that go into tallying a vote. Not all votes are counted initially for several reasons including poorly marked ballots that the machines can not correctly determine if it is a vote or not to ballots marked as "provisional" which will be counted eventually but likely not included that first night of results.

"A Bedrock owner in June 2021 blamed problems on its China-based supplier."

Why are we contracting with a company that doesn't actually have the ability to manufacture what we are paying them to supply?

​

"In January 2021, Bedrock sent a check for $750,000 to the state, but the check bounced, the attorney general's office said."

Yeah, that $3 mill is basically never coming back.

In the single occupant bathrooms are the sinks and toilets accessible to persons in wheelchairs? If not, then there needs to be a separate accessible unisex toilet room if the men and women bathrooms are not fully accessible.
