But why male models?

Dont let Mass landlords see this.

> we hardly tip in the UK for anything

Yeah, it's a different approach. Tip for waiter service and bartenders. No tipping expectation for counter service (like Starbucks) or takeout.

Tipping a tour guide is pretty good practice anywhere, I'd think.

One thing you'll notice is that the US has comparatively liberal pours of liquor and wine. You'll pretty much never see measured liquor dispensers which are common in much of Europe. Especially at dive bars, you'll get a glass of alcohol and it's like.. 3 shots worth when you're paying for one. A lot of those places want to see you happy, so a tip can stretch far.

Measured pours are only common in fancy cocktail bars (since the drink requires balance) and places that attract tourists (cause the owners are cheap).

One other thing to remember is that a US Pint is slightly smaller than a UK Pint when ordering beer.

> Salem definitely interests me

I forgot to mentio, in lieu of the commuter rail - you should consider the Salem Ferry. It's $45 round trip and really lovely.

Another historic town is Plymouth, which is also commuter rail accessible. There's a lovely little walkable downtown area with some boutique shops and ocean views. And of course, Plymouth Rock. But don't go for the rock. The rock is bullshit. And it's not even the original rock. But it's free, I guess?

However, if you're looking to dive into American history, I would highly recommend the Plimouth Patuxet Musuems (formally Plimouth Plantation). It's a 17th Century 'living village', filled with period actors to interact with.
There is also a small area with some 17th century Native American (Wampanoag) structures and tribal ambassadors you can chat with. Also, just some good nature out there. It's a good way to spend a day.

If you need any other recommendations or anything, don't hesitate to message me. I clearly get bored a lot.

Honestly with all event trampling disasters that have been happening, I appreciate crowd density control.

I’d wear it either way. You don’t have to approve. But they don’t even use it anymore 😂

Perhaps you’re not aware that they don’t anymore. But go on with your bad self

Love the coat. Don’t care if you approve. I won’t consider others because you say so. I’m happy with it. I’m ok with it. Sorry. Find another cause that isn’t me. I don’t need you to fight for what is right for me.

Yeah they did and virtue signaling is obnoxious. At least know what you’re talking about before you pontificate

That sounds like it was the fault of the event talent's demands. I went to a show there a week ago and it was more relaxed. There was even a dude in the crowd openly vaping. Performers can vary on the demands of the venue and sometimes are overly strict, and the venue has to go along with it.

Run it with them.

Go see Dr. Kanter at UMASS in Worcester if you’re high risk. He was excellent.

Yes, and the public market in general is a good place to find gifts!

Please come. I’m so hurt I need community.

City morgue which has a very large fan base mostly made up of teenagers young adults and the occasional millennial. The show sold out so it is definitely packed but the floor isn’t even close to being a potentially fatal amount and employees still won’t let you in unless you try reason with them this is gonna sound so fucking ridiculous but my friend literally got in the pit by beating a security guard in rock paper scissors shit dead fucking ass

I'm not ready to see the expiration date of xx/30. That's like 30 years away right, not 7?

Classic shit show T. They can't even afford cards gloss. A study of the Helsinki transit system showed a 7% (from 90 to 97%) increase in on time rates when they started glossing their cards because the RF waves on the card transmitters work faster.

Remember when the marathon was fun and not a bunch of feel good bullshit? Is it ever going to go back to normal or will we have to do this whole “BOSTON STRONG” thing for eternity? It’s exhausting

The mom joke was the friends we made along the way

Where is your tribute to the victims of the Black Death?

My bad, mixed it up with another apartment complex being built kinda around there.

Some theaters (the kind that show plays not movies) are still requiring masking, most notable the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge. I imagine some concert venues might as well (those that cater to an older clientele).

I feel ya, but of course Boston Mag was gonna do a 10 year anniversary thing on these morons.

For Iraq introspection and remembering all our democratically elected morons who got us into that dumb and illegal war, you and I will just have to settle for the Useful Idiots podcast, or Breaking Points, etc.

If you have an instant pot it’s dead easy to make: https://myheartbeets.com/3-ingredient-mango-cheesecake-instant-pot/

So the article is partially right and partially wrong. The MBTA's operational annual budget is 2.5 Billion. They have the resources. But that money is not being spent correctly. They categorically piss that money away on construction contracts. It was one of the major findings from both the state and the feds. Its death by feature creep and incompetence. You don't add a bunch of stuff to your already badly broken foundation when your ridership is down 40% and all your shit is on fire. The reality for the new GM is the state is likely not going to give him more money and he realizes that the case Day 1 on the job, His only option is to hope they allow him to reconfigure how the MBTA operates as a business.

It's a seven minute walk...
