>near Boston
You'll get more useful answers if you are a little more specific. Depending on where "near" is could end up being +/- an hour or two of commute to get to these places

Reply to comment by michael_scarn_21 in Foxborough ≠ Boston by vvsbari
I just picked a random spot right in the middle of London and looked at Publix transport times to Wembley and it was 50 minutes. Rounded it to about an hour. I'd imagine that time can swing a good 15+ minutes in either direction depending on where exactly in the center of town you are, but it doesn't feel too outrageous of a generalization

Both are about an hour from downtown by public transit, so it still stands to reason that a lot of Europeans won't be as blown away by the idea as everyone is suggesting.

Reply to Emperor penguin at risk of extinction, along with two-thirds of native Antarctic species, research shows by dont_tread_on_dc
For the sake of sparking a little bit of discourse, this does seem like one of those classic cases of taking the worst case scenario, making a few favorable assumptions to make it even worse, and then publishing it as truth.
>“Up to 80% of emperor penguin colonies are projected to be quasi-extinct by 2100 [population declines of more than 90%] with business-as-usual increases in greenhouse gas emissions,” it found.
This sounds pretty bad at first glance, but the only sign of a mechanism behind the extinction is this quote:
>“The emperor penguin relies on ice for breeding,” Lee said. “If it loses its suitable breeding habitat … that can lead to [population] collapses over time.”
Without any other information, this just sounds like they are making a bit of a jump from "the ice will melt" straight to "they won't be able to figure out how to breed without the ice and they will all die"
That being said, there are more than enough good reasons to try to limit global warming, but this feels like a publication that was searching for the most extreme result possible.

Reply to Apparently the MBTA is having a tough time filling their IT positions to the point they're resorting to using a particular type of 3rd party recruiters located out-of-state to fill them by goldeneye0
I don't think you understand the difference between a staffing agency and a recruiter. Recruiters just find applicants for jobs. Staffing agencies are the ones you actually work for as an employee of the agency instead of the company you are doing work for.

But they are also providing a very crucial service by providing grid access and maintaining the grid. If nobody paid for it's maintenance because everyone had solar, it would fail for everyone

Not really. They have to charge you differently because you are paying for the benefit of grid access (which 99% of people absolutely require), but no longer pay for it through electricity use like everyone else on the grid

You should be able to buy pretty much anything roasted locally if your frame of reference is trader Joe's coffee. It's not terrible, but most local stuff will be head and shoulders above it

Because it's the normal neighborly thing to do.
>But I didn’t know if he was gonna go left or right
Because you weren't off to one side, so he also didn't know if you were going left or right.
>It’s not like there is a rule on sidewalk that runners have to stay to the right…
But clearly you can see how it would be beneficial to everyone's ability to efficiently share the sidewalk

A green roof can actually be beneficial. Doing it with a maintained turf lawn is not.

For traffic violations? Absolutely. There is 0 enforcement and people just do whatever the fuck they want driving (and cycling) around here and it's dangerous
