Reply to curtain problem by timeforclowns

You’re worried about command strips on walls and tension rods but you’re gonna use “strong glue” instead?

Just use the command strips or tension rods (twist them until they can no longer twist, and don’t pull with all of your strength when you draw your curtains), it’ll be fine.

Reply to Calling all New England Sports fans: consider giving rugby a chance! by xcaughta

I love rugby and would really like to see it grow in the US, but $35 for a standing room only ticket at the end of the field seems like a lot. Do their games sell out and are they strict about moving from SRO into the seated sections? It's hard to justify $35 for no seat with a bad view or $50+ for a seat at a low level rugby match (globally at least). For comparison to other lower level leagues, this about the same as it costs to see a Revs game and is significantly more than a Woo Sox game. You can even get Red Sox tickets at that price for certain games.

I have these tension rods. They can be made very tight, and they won’t loosen up because there’s a screw that keeps the tension in place.

Reply to comment by theliontamer37 in Tony Massarotti of ‘Felger and Mazz' Apologizes After ‘Insensitive,' ‘Hurtful' Comments During Broadcast by Freaky713

I think Felger knows his stuff pretty well, he is well informed and does the research. But that doesn't translate into how he comes off on the air as he is all about leaning heavily into the schtick of being a big time troll. Does he have trash takes? Absolutely. As to if he's entertaining, well ultimately the high ratings bear it out. People like us want something of higher quality but it seems like the masses are fine with content that is all about trolling the audience and getting them mad at him.

Mazz and Jim Murray? Idiots who hardly put any effort in.

If your tension curtain rods are falling constantly then they're either crap quality or you're not installing them correctly.

Reply to If close-to-Boston-area get a theme part, which X-Land would do well here? by QueueTee314

All of those places are hell on earth save for Six Flags, and it's close depending on time of year, and we already have one. I don't see the attraction for any of those places.

Also, I'm whole heartedly against bulldozing anymore forests in this state for any reason whatsoever. The last sighting of a Canadian Lynx in MA was in Bellingham a little more than 20 years ago. The forest it lived in was bulldozed to put in a Home Depot, Toys R Us, Unos, and a small apartment complex. ...yeah, that was worth it.
