Reply to Favorite Bars for Winter? by crowdanglez

In Cambridge, I think Christopher's has a fireplace. I know for a fact that in Harvard Square the Red House has a fireplace and if you go in there early or midweek you can sit right in front of it.

Reply to comment by WinnieCerise in MIT Study: How do you engage with stories about disability? 30-45 minute survey; gift card raffle by danieltkessler

I appreciate your input. Honestly, our goal was 15 minutes, but we weren't able to remove certain measures. We're actually not getting much drop-off at all!

Edit: I'll also note that a lot of studies run this long. It just depends on whether it's recurrent and what the incentives are. For us, it's a one-time survey, but we weren't able to get as many incentives as we wanted from our department, which would have made it easier.

Reply to Were you ever spanked as a child by your parents with any soft object? by [deleted]

  1. a wooden spoon is not soft; nor is a belt. these leave painful welts and bruises. use of these have been constituted as regular ol’ child abuse for a long time

  2. Cambridge is not representative of Massachusetts as a whole. your data will be skewed all sorts of ways.

  3. there is no useful info your pulling from the people voting? no age bracket, where they/their gaurdians grew up, the socioeconomic level they grew up in, etc

Reply to comment by Meatloafchallenge in How can I get rid of old floorboards by MeekLocator

You can also use a local company called Junkster out of the north shore. They sell bags at Tags.

Something to keep in mind about these bags is that they need to be able to get to the bag off the side of the truck. Not the back of the truck. Putting it down deep in a driveway is not an option, they will not be able to get to it. I tore out the flooring and piled it outside. Then scheduled the pickup. The morning they were coming, I transferred all the flooring into the bag at the curb so the truck could easily pick it up.
