Can't just leave them alone, you need to do a certain level of maintenance.

I'd say it's not really needed, but it doesn't necessarily hurt either. It's an extra level of consumer protection that I support.
You can vote with your wallet by purchasing products that respect your freedom. I know it reduces options but if it's really important to you, you wouldn't give business to Apple, John Deere, etc

When the hippies were picketing against nuclear was the plan to use more fossil fuels or just not use electricity at all?

The number of people blaming utility companies for the cost of natural resources is laughable.

In order to get 1.8% APR 30 year fixed they would have needed to pay points. The lowest it ever hit was 2.5%. Again, unless they have a balloon payment, ARM, or something weird, but definitely not standard 30 year fix. Or they're lying/misinformed.

You mean locked in below 3%? I've heard of some crazy low rates but I haven't heard anyone UNDER 2%. Maybe if they have something like an ARM or 15 year but even then I haven't seen that.

Yeah Dedham has a significant border with Boston proper but this sub is predominantly north of Boston so if doesn't get mentioned frequently, like Milton and Canton (large and small borders with Boston proper, respectfully). Quincy I think is big enough it is still mentioned quite a bit.

If only we kept our nuclear plants, but we didn't.
If only we didn't shutdown pipelines and drilling, then we'd have home heating oil and natural gas. Ukraine is a scapegoat.

Haven't used the bike rack there but can't you lock up your bike?
Use a crappy commuter bike, U lock, and chain. Chances of your bike getting stolen are pretty low unless you're leaving it overnight or something.

For Steam I cannot recommend New England Steamworks enough. Steam is kind of its own thing and a lot of guys out there won't admit they don't know it well. Granted it can be difficult to get on their schedule sometimes because they're so busy. I've also heard good things with APB Plumbing & Heating and Brow Oil.

Went downhill as soon as White Hen got bought out by 7/11. Not technically gas station food but it's the same concept.
