Why are you booin’ him? He’s right.

When I was younger I worked at Filenes very briefly. I had to pay a union initiation fee and weekly dues. In exchange I got minimum wage and no (zero) benefits. Not even a sick day. Useless.

With the current variants, simply “masking” isn’t enough. A cloth mask was sufficient for the Wuhan strain but Omicron and its descendants are so much more contagious that it’s more or less useless.

Go all the way and provide N95 equivalents for free or knock it off.

Can’t have high inflation if everything is overpriced to begin with.

What restaurant are you guys talking about? I feel like I’ve missed something.

Try Instacart, you can search across a bunch of stores at once.

I mean…okay. Not sure what that has to do with anything.

Only nuclear offers low-carbon base load power. There’s literally no other option.

Yeah, I think a lot of these posts are “I want to live in Wellesley but can’t afford it - this is bullshit!”

It’s more about the pad than the carpet. There are some brands specifically marketed as soundproofing. Something like this one.
If you really want to go insane-o style you rip out the subfloor, add insulation between the joists. Then replace the subfloor, then a layer of green glue then another layer of wood, then the carpet.

I’ll take the three units that are in Cambridge.

Biotech, software stuff, or finance. Pretty much in that order.

It does happen, but rarely. Almost seems like it would be a money maker for the city to hand out tickets. Maybe we need to adopt the red light camera model and just give cops a bounty for every ticket they write.

There are too many cars…but only because it’s poorly designed. For the cost of some paint it could be improved. For some real money it could be fixed.

It should be two lanes with one a protected right onto Centre St. that doesn’t have to stop. Make Centre turn two lanes so people coming around Washington St can make it also. If you want to go into that parking lot from Washington you need to make the turn onto Centre. Or something. I don’t know. But we’ve tried nothing and that hasn’t worked.

People move to the suburbs for schools. If the sidewalk is lumpy I think that’s okay.

Did you already try googling?

We’re just impressed that you know there’s a Rutland, MA - let alone that it’s the geographic center of the state.

Best I can do is a “next time take the T” billboard.

Only because we know it bothers you.

>…especially when you look outside the 495 belt

Those are just fairytales. We all know there’s nothing outside 495.

So, I actually read the article. He’s been on unpaid leave and now that he’s been sentenced, the town is meeting to decide what to do.

I just hate the armchair knee jerk shit. None of us know what will get the town sued. They fire him in a way that’s not allowed by the CBA, they’ll get sued. You can be sure of that. He’s not on duty, he’s not being paid. He’ll be fired. Relax.

You should take a long look in the mirror and ask why you react so harshly to someone that’s just answering a question factually.

The town really can’t even start the process of firing a cop until they’ve been convicted of a crime or found responsible of repeated misconduct. It’s just how it is. Should it be that way? I don’t know. What’s the alternative? Police hired and fired on the whim of whatever politician won the last election? What about firefighters? Same arrangement? Teachers?

So once he’s sentenced they’ll start the process of firing him.
