Not trying to be sappy, but it was really nice seeing the nerds come out of the woodwork for this post. Nerds and Nerd Culture have been the butt of the joke for so long, when are people going to realize we run the world?, Some of the richest people in the world are nerds, Elon is a huge nerd, regardless of whether you like him or not.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is, to OP, you are not alone.

this^ there is no way they are bringing in enough to afford mall rent, too niche

That was fast, Sake Bomb closed down a month ago

You could look into joining a gaming/film/anime club at any of the local universities, as far as I know you don’t have to be a student to join (at least true for the WPI film nights, but this was long ago before COVID so YMMV, also WPI is your best bet in general because engineering schools by nature tend to have nerds, and they have a respectable game design program). Keep in mind you’ll be older than most of the group but at least you’ll be with likeminded people

Just to be clear is this post for looking for likeminded friends or romance?

Or the Otaku place in Auburn mall

Malden is a good analogue of Vernon Hill, just flatter

I have a Zinus queen memory foam and Amazon's own AmazonBasics branded queen memory foam, have no complaints with either

And per the Crown Castle wiki page, they lease these data centers from ATT for $1900/month each location

This is the correct answer^. To OP if you are looking to work there, I looked on Crown Castle job listings, nothing for Worcester, so either not looking for NOC operators or they staff the NOC through a MSP, or retained old ATT staff

Why do I get the feeling the OP is just a AI chatbot scraping data? The replies seem very robotic. Some data scientist working for City Hall is just gathering data to see if they should make municipal employees return to the office.

The answer should be overwhelmingly yes, the only instance I can think of off the top of my head where maybe no is if the office was providing free meals. There is both time and money cost to cooking at home.
