Suffolk is around 60k. My kid got an aide package that would cost about 40k a year. Not sure if it is worth it.

Reply to curtain problem by timeforclowns
I used “Kwik-Hang” curtain rods in my last apartment. They go around the corner of the window frames and leave just tiny nail holes in the top of the trim where they’d likely never be noticed. Highly recommend!

Reply to comment by dapperdave in Calling all New England Sports fans: consider giving rugby a chance! by xcaughta
I believe the data shows that concussions are more common overall in rugby but less severe on average, so not sure if you want to call that comparable or not.

You're over thinking this.
Just screw in a curtain rod. Use a decent curtain rod (not some $10 piece of crap), and do a good job installing it. Leave it installed when you move out.
Your landlord won't thank you for improving their property, but they also won't charge you.

My suggestion would be to ask the landlord if you can install a curtain rod. If they're uncomfortable with this, you can ask them if they would mind installing it for you. I have this same language in my lease, but I'd be more than happy to oblige on an as-needed basis. The reason I have this language to begin with is because everyone is different and I've seen some people do some crazy things with nails, screws, bolts, etc. If the landlord is disagreeable in both cases, they wouldn't be the type of landlord I'd appreciate having anyways and at that point I might consider then installing them anyways and assuming the cost of them deducting it from the security deposit and repairing it, especially if you plan on staying long-term.

Does rugby have the same head injury issues that football does? (I assume so, but don't know much about it)

Adjusted for inflation, minimum wage was $9.05 in MA in 1989. Currently it’s $15. I know many things were cheaper, but I’d estimate on net that now’s probably a better time to be making minimum wage. I think the main idea here is that it was easier to make a livable wage in unskilled or blue collar work. Almost nobody makes the minimum wage in America. (Less than 1% of the adult workforce).

You ever play rollercoaster tycoon Satan and built death coasters where you launch cars off the end of a track at 120 mph
