No it doesn't, not when we'll have sunrise at 930 in the morning in winter. Plus it's been tried before in the 70's and it worked out so well that they stopped doing it after a short period of time. That and Drs say it's more important for morning sunlight than afternoon. It's better for sleep patterns etc

You know wires can be run from one place to another, right? The EV charger doesn't have to be in the garage or on the house. It can be installed closer to where the cars are parked. Anyways, I'm going to enjoy the quiet of my EV and the fuel savings. You have a great day.

We're already on DST for 8 months out of the year. Permanent DST Makes more sense.

We're only on standard time 4 months of the year. Ain't nothing normal about it. It makes more sense to make DST permanent.

Growing up in Somerset, I've always loved how conveniently close it is to Fall River. The only thing that sucks about it is the high property taxes.

Rehoboth as well. It's about 22 minutes from Rehoboth to Fall River. Same with West Bridgewater.

Bristol is great, I grew up there, but getting out of Bristol to go anywhere is a nightmare. South over Mt. Hope Bridge to Fall River is slightly less of a mess, but it still sucks.

things have certainly changed since COVID. before there was quite a wait to receive the benefits etc. they aren't even drug screening at the moment... benefits right when you start. things have got a little desperate, pretty short staffed

Is the broken window definitely confirmed? I didn't really see that in any of the reports and it seems like they'd just explicitly say that.

We're already on DST for 8 months out of the year. I don't hear anyone complaining about it. Why would we switch to ST? Most people are not up at 4:30am, but are up well past 7:30pm.

Crazily enough I tried to get a job with the USPS and they wouldn’t offer me 40 hours or benefits for a few years…

Perhaps the teens are fans of the Lock Picking Lawyer on youtube!

It probably is pretty easy to pick, but shit stealing a fucking carbine from a state trooper's cruiser would have my hands shaking.

Because police are "trained".

Actually, no they are not. Most barely pass their annual qualifiers and after X years of service they no longer even have to do that.

I'm not an expert on police issued lockable mounts but if they're anything like the standard gun lock you can pick them with a slotted screwdriver or hair pin.

There are some nice neighborhoods in Fall River. One is off Eastern Ave near Diman High.

>The laws do literally nothing!
Throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The gun laws aren't perfect. We get that. But there is a direct correlation between gun laws, gun ownership, and death by guns. If there are more guns available, if it's easier to get those guns, then there are more people dying by those guns.
MA has some of the strictest gun laws in the country and also one of the lowest rates of gun deaths in the country.
It's just like smoking laws. If you make cigs cheap, easy to get, no ID, allow smoking everywhere... then more people will smoke and subsequently die from lung cancer. Even people who don't smoke will die. If you ban cigs, tax them, ban indoor smoking, etc, then fewer people will smoke and, thus, fewer people will die from lung cancer.
