Yeah no that is not under 10 minutes. And it’s one giant hill. My point is you blaming it on one single stop being wrong. Making people who are close walk from Chestnut Hill Ave or South Street all the way to Washington street would have been moronic. Residents are not the issue, the infrastructure ever being allowed like this in the first place is

You're only allowed two attempted murders before the police actually do anything.
... but he's probably already out on his own recognizance.

Reply to comment by theliontamer37 in SJC rules Mayor Wu had the authority to require municipal workers to get the COVID-19 vaccine - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito
This is just it. There was already an existing memorandum of agreement between Local 718 and the mayors office made during the interim. Mayor Wu went against the existing MOA and then refused to meet with the union to discuss further, which prompted all the legal action to begin with. If there is an existing MOA, one of the two sides can’t just up and dissolve it when they feel like it. Thus making this a labor dispute and not really a CoViD dispute.

Who said anything about Police unions? They're a small fraction of all unions. The comment connected unions, in this case the Boston Firefighters, to "conservative nonsense."
You can disagree with their stance on a vaccine mandate during the pandemic (and I do), but there's no need to misrepresent the situation of vilify them for fighting for their member's right to collectively bargain changes. There's quite a bit of irony in calling that conservative.

Wow, I think you nailed it. The picture in the link looks very much like what I observed. Nature is full of surprises. Thanks!

That face when you find out that PFAs are a "superfood" to the alien invaders.

Or it teaches the opposite of coexistence. Played on fields with geese shit all my fuckin life, these people can't even go outside for fear of a little bit? Not to mention that dog is going to be shitting outside and stepping in dog shit even once is more likely to ruin your shoes than walking through a whole field of geese since they are carnivores.

It is advised that striped bass and bluefish are the only fish that should be consumed from the Lower Mystic, and even then should not be consumed by high risk groups.

A bike and a heated jacket would be as much as your car spot for a month or 2 and depending on how long your commute is could just be a quality heated jacket

I agree the stops suck, but nothing I said was inaccurate. They tried to close chiswick (the one pictured) because it was redundant and unsafe. people threw a fit so they left it. It’s less than a ten minute walk from there to a green line stop with a full platform at Washington.

Reply to comment by BsFan in Analysis | Are Philadelphia and Boston really the most neighborly cities in America? by PhillyAccount
Philly is an underrated city. It's hella cheaper too. It's school system is terrible though, crime / drugs / etc are worse, here in Boston we have some atv/dirt bike hot boys, but they're really everywhere and constant in Philly. PA politics are also pretty gross. It's gritty AF I still love Philly but Boston has more opportunities for my work and definitely better schools for my kids.

Hmm almost like they depend on green spaces like this one that we are wasting town resources trying to deny them.

I really like Philly. I'm down in Center City and Rittenhouse square all the time for work.
Last time I was down there I was working and at police station. I was thirsty so I naturally asked if there was a bubbler around. The cop replied to me "are you asking me for a bong kid"

Mystic River Watershed Associations stance on the topic of eating things from the main lower mystic river.
But it's also still a pretty dangerous place for fish due to high temps and low levels of oxygen, water quality is improved but still not great, Historically it was said you could walk across the Mystic on the backs of herrings they were so plentiful, before poorly regulated industrialization hit the region.

I would like to point you to Buffalo and the numerous waterfront land that is full of toxins due to Bethlehem steel.
Same with Cleveland and other rust belt cities. I think Detroit is in there too

When the aliens pass me up to eat you instead you'll be sorry.

Reply to Anyone know of a store/café in Boston where I can buy a coffee hand grinder? by believe0101
I once bought a manual coffee grinder. Worst mistake I ever made. Took me twenty minutes to grind a tablespoon then had a heart attack after my hand fell off.
Speedwell in Plymouth, maybe?
