Idk and I’ve been here my whole life ;(

I crave hot chicken so bad and I’ve never been able to find a place that will do “fuck my day up” type spicy outside of nashville itself 😩

Man, I haven't thought about Simjang in a while. They were incredible. RIP. :(

It's not amazing, but the most acceptable Nashville hot that I've found in Worcester is at Bay State Brewing.

Also Mama Roux makes an awesome hot chicken sandwich. I've only ever had it when they were parked out behind Dive Bar. Where are they parked now?

Life expectancy isn't soley based on the quality of health care there are many more factors. In industrialized nations there are millions of things that affect one's health. Prior to the ACA if you were a senior citizen that required life saving medical treatment like an organ transplant you had a reasonable expectation of receiving that treatment. Now you'll be told to go home and get your affairs in order because you are going to die. The best you can expect is pain management if needed and hospice care. That is the reality of the ACA. The political liability of what some called death panels inspired some creative editing, the panels remain, their existence just got buried in other language. Life and death decisions are still based on the bottom line. You can dig and google that all you want and you won't find it but it will become very apparent if you develop a life changing illness. I have a dear friend who has an aggressive cancer that is deemed terminal in any stage in which it's diagnosed. There are some treatments that are not a cure but have been proven to extend the patients life expectancy and improve the quality of life. Apparently these treatments are very expensive. My friend was informed that they don't qualify for the treatment because they are unable to share the cost of treatment.

For an eye related emergency its 100% worth the extra drive to Boston to go to Mass Eye & Ear. The UMASS system has some amazing ophthalmologists but they aren't emergency specialists and are actually located at the Hahnemann campus, not Lake Ave where the big ER is so they aren't even on site.

Have you tried Off the Rails? I figure they do it right. Nashville themed bar.

Gezzus folks...it was a joke... Y'all are making a mountain out of a molehill... I don't give a rats ass what anyone plays, if they find Catan fun they find it fun, I'm confused but I get confused as to how folks still find monopoly and plenty of other badly designed games fun. Catan's just the butt end of jokes for most of the boardgaming world

EMS is having the same issue. If EMT’s and Paramedics were paid fairly you wouldn’t have an issue staffing

For practice!

Its a horrible state of affairs. I entirely recognize its no ones fault there at the ER. But it is truly hell.

I have a collection of 200+ board games, why would I buy or play one I don't enjoy?

The Worcester I grew up in, 50s-60s was a prosperous industrial city. When I was in third grade our geography textbook (they taught geography back then) had a picture of Worcester. The caption said Worcester Massachusetts the industrial capital of the world. At the time there was more industry here per square mile than any other place on the planet. As a kid I thought that was a pretty big deal, it was. There were many thousands of jobs and so a very high tax base. There were many factories that employed 300+ employees, some much larger. I worked in one that would take twenty minutes to walk from one end to the other. with that kind of revenue the city employed hundreds of people and stuff got done. When industry left, Worcester all but died. From what I read here on reddit it's on the mend. I don't live there now but still would love to see Worcester prosper again.

Wicked Wings has Nashville hot

Thank you for doing what you do. You might not hear it often but you are appreciated by many.

Redemption Rock is a good spot.

Urgent cares are notoriously awful. They have also been sending people to the ER for things they used to be able to treat themselves. Also many PCPs won’t be able to see patients urgently or on the weekends. It’s all messed up.

EMT here. A thousand percent this. We’re slammed constantly and overworked which could be mitigated by simply hiring more EMTs and paramedics and putting more ambulances in service, but the healthcare system wants to make money so they won’t do it. Hell, they’re too cheap to even pay us what we deserve. This problem is also exacerbated by the rampant 911 abuse from entitled people who think the ambulance is their golden ticket past triage. At least once a week I see a news headline about obscenely long ambulance response times, sometimes to the point that people have no choice but to drive their critically ill or injured loved one to the hospital themselves because they can’t wait any longer. It makes my stomach turn every time I see that. I hate that critical patients are having to wait that long for an ambulance but there’s not anything I can do about it as the EMT, and that is what is truly gut wrenching about it. I simply go when dispatched and try to get there as quickly as is safe for me and other drivers if it’s a code 3. I never have any idea how much time passed between the caller dialing 911 and the tones going off. I love my job but this bullshit makes me feel physically sick.

maybe you would enjoy it if you got better at it???

La central bakery in downtown looks promising!! Brand new spot

Echoing Fuel & Birchtree. Also would suggest Acoustic Java — their Brussels St location is my favorite of the two to work at.

And a peanut….

A lot of that growth you see has been at the medical school which although affiliated with the hospital is a separate entity.

I usually pop into Fuel America on Grove st. Also back Birchtree Bread Company.
