> Why is it illegal to hunt deer with a rifle larger than .22lr

Isn’t that only after dark? You shouldn’t be hunting deer with a 22 anyway…

There’s no way you can carry a sidearm while hunting in MA. Almost zero chance that’s allowed. You’re not likely to run into a situation like boar hunting.

Edit: apparently you can’t hunt with a rifle at all in MA. Well, shit. Rifled shotguns are okay tho.

Set and forget “high risk” is something like an SPY etf. That’s a fund that owns shares of the s&p 500 companies, so the returns will generally follow the overall market trends.

A target date fund will bake some “security” in with a bond position.

Buy one of them, and hold. Successful Stock pick investing takes tons of research.

Forget the tax, look at the result. Amendment says it can’t go to anything except roads or schools. Enacting specific taxes for each line item on the budget is an ass backwards way of structuring the budget.

Next it’s gonna be $750k+ for mbta, or 500k+ for energy policy, or $250k for health, $100k for addiction, 75k for social services.

Manage the budget as a budget. If it needs reallocating, figure out how to prioritize issues. If you need more revenue (beyond all the new Vice taxes), so be it. But the budget needs more revenue, not a single line item.

OP could come in October for 5 days and get rain. Like the last 5 days.

So what if it snows one day. Museums are usually still open unless it’s a whopper, bars are open, historical sites are open. Sock cap, some Mittens and waterproof boots. Come walk around. Even in a big storm you’ll find something to do like a big snowball fight in the Common.

Plus you don’t have to deal with near as many crowds or high flight/hotel prices.

February is my vacation planning month and I’m trying to afford Switzerland. Who cares if it snows, it’s still vacation. I’ll probably end up in Scotland or Ireland if the pound stays low.

It might have been a little shady and corrupt, but it was basically a plea deal. He had letters showing the emperors intended return and revolution - which is treason. Notier wasn’t some underworld/unknown figure, he was a well known Parisian Bonapartist. And the Morrells were already under suspicion.

Danglars was an opportunist looking to make a political play, Ferdinand was a jealous asshole, but the worst thing Villefort can be accused of is being a politician. He distanced himself from his dad, he married into the bourbons. He didn’t exactly get along with the old man, but Nortier protected him during Bonaparte’s short restoration.

Young Eddie was a fool 10 different ways - Notier/Villefort notwithstanding. Napoleon had just been deposed and exiled. Marseilles was heavily royalist and anti-Bonaparte. Yet he thought nothing of just stopping by at Elba. And he wasnt naive and indifferent - he knew who he was talking to and he was proud to do it - though he kept the secret according to his captains wishes. He was first mate on a “smuggling” boat. How could he not know, hell the accountant (Danglars) knew. One look at the chart and it would be obvious they’re stopping by Elba to pass messages. He might have spent a couple years on boats, but daddy Dantes lived in town, Morrell lived in town. He had to know about the unrest - especially since boats carried word abroad to trading partners.

I don’t think Villefort had any intent of releasing Eddie at any point. Regardless of Bonaparte retaking the throne. A) he was a royalist, B) he knew it wasn’t going to last. Letting Eddie out after 3 months would out him as a Bonapartist like his father and kill his future in France. He’d be sidelined once Napoleon fell apart again. But he didn’t go so far as cutting Eddie’s head off without a trial.

Talking to a dentist out of Charlotte a few weeks back, Dental Insurance hasn’t adjusted their reimbursement model after Covid to even come close to their increase in cost.

As with every other industry, supplies are up 50%+, labor is up significantly, and a lack of available hygienists is limiting their patients per day.
