Accumulating on grass the the roads are just wet. Must be just above freezing. But be careful; if the temp drops a couple degrees it could turn very nasty fast.

Worcester badly needs to do address the public transit problem. It is a joke and no one cares about the people that depend on it. It’s ridiculous.

This. I have a coworker who would love to buy a condo but it needs to be on a bus line because they don’t drive…there aren’t many out there that meet their needs.

You really should. It's important for them to hear where things are going well, in addition to the complaints.

The problem will fix itself. There won't be any cable companies in 5 years.

I'd join. I played my first round a week ago at the Redemption Convention so I'm still very much new.

Wow, your own personal anecdotal evidence has completely debunked the results of Charter's own survey. I'd better show this to their regional director!

You realize municipal internet and television in Worcester would be run by the same grade of people as DPW trash collection right?

Looks a little slushy for me but not sticking too bad. Work from home though so I haven't actually been outside to check yet.

I'm going to be that guy for no other reason than that I like this argument.
Water is not wet, it's just water. The same can be said for fire: it's not burnt, it burns things. For something to be wet, it must be able to otherwise be dry. Water itself exists in other states (vapor, frozen), but cannot itself be dry.
Water is what makes things wet, but water is not wet.

I wouldn't do that, didn't vote for it, not my job and I am not old enough to "G o a l l b o o m e r". At least you appreciate their failures.

I mean, you're correct that the city (and state, and beyond, really) absolutely cannot rely on developers to solve the housing crisis. Governments are gonna have to invest in public housing again, and that's all there is to it.

I’m interested. Been DMing and playing a little since last year and want to do both more. So I’d be happy to DM or play. Any thoughts of what type of game you’re looking for?

I've had Spectrum since June 2022 and have zero complaints.

I've been wanting to get into D&D since forever but I don't know anyone that plays. If you are doing this and don't mind having a newbie coming on I'd love to be a part of it.

I have had very few complaints over the 7 years we’ve had spectrum…my main complaint is their pricing is highway robbery due to lack of competition. I want options, even if I ultimately stay with charter, because being able to switch providers can bring costs down
