I was in stopped traffic on 128 earlier this week but behind a truck with a picture of a big adorable golden retriever staring at me, made it a lot better!

Which is the biggest force, the healthcare industry that wants to increase costs or the insurance industry that wants to reduce them?

> Ten percent of all healthcare spending in the U.S. goes toward end-of-life care
That means after 75 years or whatever of life, you still spend a whopping 10% of your total healthcare costs in those last few months of life.
That's huge.

I would guess it's because though Boston has some (relatively) lower density areas than Somerville which drag its overall average down, places like Back Bay are denser than anywhere in Somerville due to the higher density of higher-rise housing. Somerville doesn't really have any neighborhood that is entirely 4-5 story brownstones plus high rise condo buildings. There are a lot more three-deckers in Somerville, which don't house quite as many people.

except highways and cars are so inefficient, a single subway train is probably more densely populated

“Is it cause I’m always buying cheap shit”……yes. 10000% yes. Not sure why you would think otherwise. Basic stuff here. Of course the better stuff is expensive, and obviously black market stuff is going to be cheaper and better. Are you even old enough to buy weed?? This is basic

That would probably be Myles Standish State Forest and it looks like the one on Cape could be Joint Base Cape Cod

What's interesting is if you pull the data at 8am on a weekday, it's just a bright fucking line on 93, 95 and 90 and black absolutely everywhere else.

I'm surprised the highest density isnt somewhere in Somerville considering it's in the top 10 most dense cities in the US

Hey everyone, I found the newcomer!
EDIT: That's so funny people hatin' ... Hoosac's expression just sounded Wisconsin or Minnesotan to me, I didn't mean anything by it. (please don't tell your Minnesota or Wisconsin friends I suggested they may be similar)

Reply to I live on the south shore and had no idea self service was illegal in Weymouth. by noble_29
I grew up in Weymouth and graduated from Weymouth North High School. So I saw that station on Washington street across from The village cemetery built by BP. They obviously anticipated that the permit to have self service was just a rubber stamp, or something along those lines. I have a suspicion but this is just my guess that the town council didn't appreciate the way BP operated In building the self service without prior approval from them and therefore guaranteed it would never be approved. That was over 50 years ago and Weymouth Massachusetts to this day does not have self service. I no longer live in Weymouth and haven't since 1978 with a few exceptions so I no longer have to worry about buying gas there.

I’ve never noticed it to be pro-trump, but maybe I’m not really paying attention. It’s definitely the cheapest place I’ve seen to get 93 octane

It would even cooler if you had included the density area note in the chart.

Natural death is like natural birth. Painful, long, rigorous. Epidurals help enormously to ease the entire process — why not embrace something similar for death??? People are so afraid.

I don't know the numbers myself, but tbh I wouldn't be surprised if someone said the entire population of western mass was lower than the population of New Bedford or Fall River.
