Reply to Suffolk or Umass Boston? by [deleted]
Congratulations on being admitted to both schools! A lot of people have already recommended things to think about (cost, cultural fit, academic experience). It’s important to think about what’s most important to you in your college experience. Is location more important than what the dorms are like? What classroom experience are you looking for? Once you answer those types of questions for yourself, it may be more clear which school is better for you. If you haven’t already and have the ability to visit both schools, that can be another way to learn more (and if not in person, some schools offer virtual tours or information sessions). Good luck!

Why someone would wear real pants when it’s not absolutely and completely necessary is beyond me

yea but then a subway would be pretty useless if it didn't have any stations.

Reply to Has anyone bought a car from an out of state dealer and registered it in MA? How long did it take to get your new plates? by Yakb0
I was thinking about doing this last year but decided not to go that out if state route. But if you have a dealer that is willing and friendly enough you can purchase the car and get the bill of sale (don't have the car registered/titled in the purchase state) that will have the VIN (needed to get auto insurance) and proof that you own the car. One you have insurance you can go to the RMV and regisure the car and get your plates.
Something to keep in mind is if the state that you are buying from does not do temp plates you definitely don't what the car registered out of state because they will want to collect taxes, then when you want to register it in MA they are also going to want to tax you since it was purchased within 6 months (pretty sure it's 6 months)

I bought a car from a dealership in Florida, drove up with a temporary FL tag. My MA registration came in the mail about 3 weeks after that, but I had to get another temporary tag from the dealership. The dealership was very on top of it though and they one-day shipped my new registration

So if we don't build any more stations it won't be expensive anymore

Reply to Mass. GOP in disarray: Party may have $600,000 in debts, misreported hundreds of thousands in spending, memo says - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito
*Breaking News!* Mass. GOP now just as corrupt as... the rest of the country's GOP!
I *almost* feel bad that Baker the Faker was driven out of office by the Center-Right-turned-Hard-Right faction of the GOP that has apparently made its way north of the Mason-Dixon Line and taken over the state's once more principled secondary party. Somebody please remind all the knuckle-draggers in South-Norfolk and North-Essex Counties that they're free at any time to move to Alabama or Mississippi or Kansas or another of those other fine functioning Red State utopias.

It is impossible to register a car in MA without first having insurance. The RMV-1 form requires proof of insurance before it is complete.
(In the old days, that proof was an actual ink stamp attested by the insurance agent. If you hear the phrase “insurance stamp,” that’s what they mean: proof of insurance. It’s mostly electronic now.)

It very well may be, as the Teddie production facility is in close proximity to the site of this particular Storrowing.

What % do you think would it take? We are currently at 27% of all rental units are income restricted.

Red Fox is another. I think an escape room is a really good fit here. Maybe a museum?

Sure. And if they are renting a place for $5 and it's suddenly worth $5 million, the landlord will do that, but how often is a landlord accidentally under pricing their rental by $600? It's not like units are jumping 30% year over year. If a landlord is willing to kick someone out to charge higher rent, they were already boosting the rent as much as they could get away with each year, so they aren't going to need to do those huge jumps in the first place

Yeah it’s not going to make it faster, probably adds a little bit of time, but much easier on the mental part when you can just kick back and relax on mass transit.
