Who wasn’t diagnosed with adhd as a kid? If you struggled in school and your parents brought to a therapist, 90 percent chance you get diagnosed.

Reply to comment by Reasonable_Move9518 in Peanut butter truck in Somerville, MA got jammed by Stampeder
I have a guess on the story. The truck was driving under the bridge and taking a turn. The center of the bridge is higher than the sides, so it was able to make it underneath, but once is started turning the back of the trailer caught the lower part of the bridge and this is the result.

Pension contributions and other benefits are part of the fully burdened calculation on either side.
It costs the T substantially more, fully burdened, to hire outside tradespeople for a large number of regular day-to-day non-megaprojects, than if they were to staff up to handle maintenance and lower-scope capex (which would also mean staffing up enough to handle maintenance in the first place).

Public parks are just that, public. You can have no reasonable expectation of privacy there and also it’s a joke about a specific Massachusetts stereotype, relax.

How is thriveworks? It feels like a big corporate group trying to group/monetize psychiatry care. Would a smaller group outside of it be better or am i reading into it wrong

You're rationalizing. It's a photo of someone just going about, with a dog that someone may even recognize. Maybe they're on here. We can't readily identify the person but that's a rule of thumb for the media, not posters online. Most people wouldn't like this.
>a dude who wears shorts and a hoodie in cold weather and/or snow, which there are a lot of in this state.
Right, but then it's not remarkable, which is also something to consider. Post yourself, not people doing nothing wrong.

It’s always nice when fathers and sons can bond over fashion, we need more of it.

I think at a certain point it’s good to tell your kid or at least work on ways to build routines habbits for them to succeed. I was always better when i had structure. Always remember, adhd brains are just wired different doesn’t mean we are doomed at life.
I was good at school because i actually enjoyed it. With adhd you prioritize things that made you feel good. We are super highly emotional and gravitate towards things that make us feel good now which is why we constantly procrastinate/put things off towards later and really only do things we don’t like when we feel some sort of strong emotion attached to it.
I was a manager at a very big finance firm. One of my friends who has adhd is a very successful lawyer. Learning about the strengths/pitfalls of adhd will definitely help set your kid up for a brighter future if you deal with it now rather than later.
Just remember pills may help, but you need to learn the skills and i wish i learned them when i was in my teens rather than my 30s if that helps
Would suggest: your brains not broken by Tamara Ross. Will help you understand what it’s like to live with an adhd brain and go through some really good ways to deal with it. Can help you implement some good routines for your kids

I’ve lived in the cold my entire life, it’s just a little joke, relax.
As you can see, this photo doesn’t identify the person as anything other than a dude who wears shorts and a hoodie in cold weather and/or snow, which there are a lot of in this state.

which is a shame because it allows a more easily corruptible democratic party here. where entrenched loyalty matters more than whats good for voters

For some jobs it is worth hiring contractors as needed. These in house carpenters, plumbers and electricians etc all need benefits, substantial public sector pensions etc. Sure the T is paying more to hire these people but they're not on the hook for the retirement costs as well.

Some guy is just out for a walk with a dog, and now his photo is posted online, because you're new to the area and don't know how to handle the cold?

Reply to comment by Ordie100 in $122M to build a new bridge for 160 Dorchester Yacht Club members!?! by LivingMemento
I think you’re right, the USCG is the lead for navigable hazards in the waterway….I don’t have experience with swing bridges but I’ve only dealt with USACE and USFWS for the 11 bridges that I’ve done. Both USCG and USACE are both involved when there are Navigable Waters of the US. Lift bridges, bascule, swing bridges, etc. (movable bridges) involve the USCG usually because of clearance issues. Usually the USACE are involved for Waterways of the US, under Rivers and Harbor Act and CWA (section 404) for any stream altering, erosion, fill, dredging etc. I think you’re right in this case Coast Guard is the prime agency but USACE and FHWA are definitely going to be involved with this one as well. I hope they do high clearance fixed bridge of sorts to minimize traffic, it would help triage jams along I-93. Has Massdot done a Bridge Type Selection study yet, and how do they have dollar figure for the cost of it without knowing the type of bridge and I don’t think they’ve released an RFP yet, I was looking and I couldn’t find anything online.
