Less money to the cops. More money to the bus system. Simple and effective.

Reply to Question about finding work as a volunteer or assistant for electrical work, coding, or electronics by ScheduleOpenStax
Try contacting Worcester technical high school if you can enroll in their electrical, or electro mechanical, or computer trade courses. I forgot the term but you can definitely ask about it and they should point you in the right direction

Reply to Short-term rental around UMass Chan area by Dexiade
You could look into local universities and ask the housing department where students are renting out. Plus the student affairs offices should have advertisements made by students looking for roommates. It’s a safe idea to try.
I would stay away from websites like Craigslist’s if you’re a lone person. Usually it’s full of creepy and weird or suspicious dangerous people.

you are equating "handeling kids owning cell phones" with "working well with k-12 kids" and it is not only disingenuous but completely ridiculous.
you can hate the op-ed without making disingenuous statements.

Our society isn’t in a position to give the ultimatum “if you cannot work well with K-12 students you shouldn’t be a teacher”? Really?
No one said distractions are “on the menu” (whatever that means) but if you cannot engage and connect with your students and all that that implies, then no, you should not be a teacher. I’m pretty confident in what I said.
And again, how about we don’t write more brain dead op eds about phones, as if we need another one

There's already a rail line in Springfield that does just that. It just isn't hooked up to anywhere else in the state, which the East-West line would solve.

They only have 3 stars on Yelp. A few comments that they're not much better than Ho Toy. I mean, Red Pepper is at a 3.5, so I guess neither are well liked on Yelp.
And I have no suggestions on Chinese food in Worcester. There is Wong Dynasty and Yankee Grill in Holden though. Pretty good food even though the name is off putting.

Check out Shrewsbury. Lots of complexes that offer 3 month leases but they will be expensive.

Technocopia has a lot of members that are into that, and some equipment. Check out their open hack Thursdays at 7, or the robotics club Saturdays at 1.

Wanna go to Boston in a way that takes 4 times as long, isn't Cheeper than gas and parking, and still requires you to drive there in the first place?

Wait til this person hears about the many Boston workers who also have to pay for parking because their employers won't pony up for it.

Right, and taking the T to a Red Sox game is efficient and swift and happy and wonderful. And for folks who do drive, there is a parking megaplex attached to Fenw--oh. Right. The parking sucks at Fenway too and the T is a literal and figurative dumpster fire.

This is primarily my concern. This whole project is wholly reliant on Amtrak service. My concern would be for the future if the state decided to build the rail and Amtrak drops the service if the financials don't turn out as expected. I'm curious to see what the backup plan is should Amtrak service fail.
