One of the things that most people forget is that the t was saddled with a bunch of debt from the Big dig. This has prevented it from functioning and recovering from most of the problems of the last two decades.

I love the idea of this but I am a little confused by the metaphor. Who are the monsters in this? What does this actually teach kids about climate change? I'm not trying to be negative here I'm just a little confused.

Normally I would agree with you but she seems to be holding that tomato in two hands. How many tomatoes can you hold in two hands?

Thank you for all your thoughtful and persistent commentary in this thread. You've given me a lot to think about.

Thank you for the analysis! I was afraid that this had no teeth and I think that fear may have been correct.

They would have to put it in a dirty basement or I just won't accept it as the rat.

They put in some work and they deserve some Internet points!

These shows where you have to fall in love seem like a dystopian nightmare to me, but I guess if people are entertained...

Haven't we already been granted a police state? In all seriousness hopefully these cameras will help.

I think the lottery is a tax on the poor and the uneducated. It should be banned along with other forms of gambling which just pray on human weakness.

More expensive and funnier, so I say better?

I once went to one of the shows when it was in Bow Market. It was such a trip, because the majority of the audience was comedians waiting to take a turn on stage. It definitely had the feel of people testing out their craft mixed with the feel of karaoke.

Just a reminder, rapid onset gender dysphoria is a fiction invented by anti trans activists. In short, there is absolutely no evidence this is happening, all of the supposed study data comes from testimony of specifically anti-trans parents, and all of the medical treatments have been extremely conservative and hard to get by kids under the age of 18.

Linux. It was a Windows only problem. The real question is why are any corporations still using Windows at this day and age. I thought the only reason to stay on Windows was for gaming.

I also try to upvote comments which encourages people to participate. I know it seems small, but it lets people know that they are not commenting into a void.

I don't understand. Is this an experimental feature? How do you do this?

Good suggestions. I originally added a quick reason why I was posting. Maybe I should go back to doing that. If we had lots of people posting, then maybe I would try to discourage low effort posts, but currently that is not a problem.

I hope not, but even if it does, and people still switch over to heat pumps, it would be a net benefit to society, so I'm still happy about it.

What, all they have to do is spend the $10 million to solve racism and classism and poverty. What's the problem?

Absolutely! I have two cats and I think it's less work with two cats than if I had one. They keep each other company, they get exercise by playing, and they eat so little that it doesn't even matter. I have always gotten away with one litter box for two cats (17 years for the first pair). And I highly recommend getting a litter robot or something similar because it makes the litter box even easier to deal with.

If I had to guess I would say that he was doing a lot of work in the compositing. The night sky exposure was probably mostly from a shot where the light was shining completely the opposite direction so is not to overexpose the sky. That is just a guess though. It is from Mastodon so theoretically you can post a follow-up question to him.

How much has it grown in a year?

Agreed. Although...

Yeah, the article is basically a press release from one of those sketchy real estate websites, but I thought that the topic was really important to get out. There aren't a lot of options for the aging lgbtq community. Hopefully it's not a pure AI hallucination, but either way I thought people needed to know about the subject.

I love Portlandia, but no, no, no! I need government intervention, not social pressure! Wow, what is wrong with me?

Damnit, i thought i checked the date. Oh, well. Its cute anyway.

I think maybe Tom Brady, and the other Boston sports stars who also beat your teams, encouraged more people to live here. Or maybe it was the ritual sacrifices I made to the Traffic Demon Lord of Sports Betting.

I just hope it was one of those high paying, once in a lifetime jobs.

A 3.5 hr commute is not acceptable for any life. Also, a 4am wakeup is horrible too. What could your friend possibly need so bad in New York?

I never got to go there before it closed and I was bummed. Somehow I don't think the rebuild will have any of the old school charm of the original.

While the whole thing was pretty ridiculous, I think it showed the value of the emergency broadcast system. I felt informed and up to date.

I need someone to force me to use them, because I always forget. Hopefully if the only option is to buy reusable ones each time, I will eventually remember.

Thank you, I felt the premise of the article was too black and white. I think independent journalism is critical to a functioning society as is government. Therefore, government needs to encourage independent journalism somehow. It's easy to find examples of state sponsored media that is obviously propaganda, but there has to be an middle ground. If public funded journalism was the ideal balancer, for example, maybe government could have a system of helping news outlets setup public funding infrastructure? I just hate the idea of saying "government bad".

Yeah, was she remorseful because she was tricked or because she did something atrocious?

Agreed. It is harder to explain, but better in every other way. Not much of a down side in my book.

I think what is hard to explain is how you determine who wins. Most people understand that in "old school" voting the one with the most votes wins. With ranked choice, how does it handle multiple people with very different rankings. Its easy to say "the one that most people preferred" or "instant runoff" but explaining how that is calculated is not easy. I am very much for ranked choice, and I was devastated when it lost the vote, but it's biggest hurdle is comprehension, and that is something for FUD'lers to prey on.

She is looking a bit world weary. Real estate is expensive in Boston.

How did they fuck it up? Also, should it just be EMS staff on the scene or a third party, in your opinion?

I didn't know that was an issue. Why would they be taller than the bridge?

Yeah, I don't know why anyone would think this would be free forever. The idea is to encourage adoption.
