A small generator really isn't that expensive where it's a luxury only the wealthy can afford. And, as much as I hate National Grid, they've never had a problem working their asses off to get the power back on. Stop making up things to pretend to be outraged about.

It's exactly what they want. It gives the hate groups free publicity. People on this sub were literally sharing their propaganda for them! Any time one of these assholes hangs a sign in public, it gets posted online for far more eyes to see it.
It doesn't matter if you're doing it to hate on them. You think they've never been called mean names online before? They don't care, and it still spreads their message. What's more, how are we supposed to know that the propaganda isn't being posted by the hate groups themselves? I saw a goddamn rally invitation shared on this sub before the mods put a stop to the nonsense.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Why did Sunday pay go away? by A_Man_Who_Writes
>guess it could encourage businesses to just close.
That's exactly it. Ironic that it's had the opposite effect and had people wanting to work on Sunday.
Anyway, it does kind of make sense from the religious perspective, because Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest where you don't work, so it's essentially the same as holiday pay. But that could also be considered discriminatory, since it only goes for the Christian day of rest. Also redundant, because Mass already has a day of rest law which requires at least 1 day off a week.
All the people calling it regressive to phase out Sunday pay are only looking at it from one extremely narrow angle.

This is what gets me. It was an outdated blue law which was meant to encourage people to go to church. What's more, it had such an uneven application that retailers were the vast majority of businesses who actually had to pay it. It was a shit law.
If people want premium pay on the weekends, then they should push for a law that makes sense in modern standards, is clear about what it's for, and doesn't have a million loopholes so that it doesn't disproportionately impact one job sector.

I don't think that's ever going to happen without some kind of subsidization. Or public housing. Both of which have obvious issues. Other than that, nobody is building anything you or I could afford.

If you find it difficult to meet up in person, there's always Roll20 and a few other online platforms. I believe there's also subs dedicated to finding other players in your area. And, of course, That's E!

I'm surprised it lasted so long. They definitely had an amazing selection, but I always felt like I was gambling eating there. And they didn't even have booze!

I think that's the only choice in the area for a full Chinese buffet. Unless you want to drive a half an hour for basically the exact same experience.

Absolutely, make, model, and year can make a huge difference.
Also whether you garage your car, have a private drive, or park in the street. Leaving it out in the elements is worse, and then street parking can lead to more dents, dings, and scratches for rust to work its way into.
Some areas even have salt restrictions due to reservoirs/watersheds.
There's a ton of factors. But one thing is for sure: salt corrodes metal.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Car Wash Suggestions by [deleted]
Yup. Washing the salt off can save you lots of money in future maintenance. The people here saying "rust free!" are probably talking mostly about body panels and wheel hubs, which are already protected thoroughly. However, your undercarriage has lots of nuts and bolts (and your exhaust) which can all get rusted together. Your mechanic will thank you if you wash your car.
Now the protecter that other commenter mentioned, that's a waste of money. Unless you're getting hand-waxed, everything beyond soap and water is probably just dye to make the water pretty so you feel better about spending $20 on a wash.

You really only need to go to the car wash that often when there's salt everywhere in the winter. Outside of that, I only wash my car when it's dirty. I like the Big Kahuna for their underspray, although the best way to do it is to get out and do it yourself (weather permitting).

I live out in the Quabbin area and mine works great, but my mom's two towns over and has had endless problems with them (and previously Charter) for the entire 20 years she's lived there. I think it's just a crapshoot with them on whether your internet works the way it's supposed or not.

That's just not true. Native Americans did manage the forsests to a great degree, but it wasn't until the 19th century that the landscape became mostly open farmland.
