Volunteer for TM here who made the SZ tracker :)

Our algorithm only flags a slow zone when its travel time is 10% higher than the median for 4 days in a row. Some of these slow zone orders are only for a few hundred feet of track which only accounts for a few second delay in overall travel time between two train stops.

TLDR -> MBTA is showing more granular slow zones, which is important. But not all have a big impact on travel time, i.e. disruptions that riders actually feel.

Spoiler: If that person saw this post, they still would not have cleared the snow off their roof.

Also, you are most likely a criminal. The reason that you don't like the police is because you want to hurt others and get away with it.

You belong in prison.

The poor owners wouldn't be able pay off their 2nd home with the profits from their 1st! God forbid.

Wonder what his bail was set to.

No, it literally means abolish the police.

Edit:

Title "Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police"

quote from the article:

I’ve been advocating the abolition of the police for years. Regardless of your view on police power — whether you want to get rid of the police or simply to make them less violent — here’s an immediate demand we can all make: Cut the number of police in half and cut their budget in half. Fewer police officers equals fewer opportunities for them to brutalize and kill people. The idea is gaining traction in Minneapolis, Dallas, Los Angeles and other cities.

People would have you believe differently, but this is what the advocates are proposing. They'll lie about the message because that's all the activists have: is lies.

> Or makes the horn beep like a car alarm if the snow isn't cleared off and you are driving.

You're not going far enough. What we need is a DUI-like ignition interlock.

Are you sure your comprehensive insurance doesn't cover it?

Mostly its just private consultants that end up getting trips to Japan and Korea funded on the MBTA's dime, so that their in house people can tell them how the systems work.

"Hey good news! We've gotten a ton of money in the budget to deal with slow zones this year."

"Finally! So, how are we going to spend it?"

"Well, that's a stupid question. We're going to develop an app or something. What else would we do with it?"

"No, you are right. Makes perfect sense."

I haven't tried the locations in Boston. But the one I did try was really good. Great chicken + great sauce + great texas toast.

the gas station near the quincy line on wood, used to have used tires for sale

Yeah then that is unfortunately typical for apartments around here. I do not agree that it is right or even feasible for most.

i have had this shit hit me while I am on my bicycle, its not fun. Thankfully it was all fluffy stuff when it happened to me, but I couldn't see shit, and it was pretty nasty.

I can only imagine what would happen if a big sheet of ice slid off a van or something.

remember that many here also fail to recognize that 'defund' was used to get exactly their attention, because it got ours 10 and 20 years earlier, when arts education, afterschool programs, music education, and jobs programs for youth were DEFUNDED.

I bet that criminal that you want to blame a shortage of authoritarians for ALSO didn't have anyone to show him how to do better.

You're a pinecone, get out of the way.

Yep I saw Mayor Wu personally escort the shover out of prison with a giant smile on her face and then he looked at me and winked.

But SA is consistent, centrally located and near the T, easy to step into without a reservation, has multiple different types of beer/seltzer, has a full food menu, and might be a fun tourist spot for someone coming into town. Is it my favorite? No, but I think it's a good suggestion for a tourist/vacationer that isn't getting a rental car and talks about doing things in the city.

But yes, agree to disagree. We just have different tastes :)

You're actually a moron wow.

Take it up with the owner of the restaurant if you want more locations. Did they not teach you that in AP Lit?

The beer was absolutely terrible. I will never understand why places like this insist on brewing their own beer.

Lmfao I fucking hate teenagers. Fuck off kid.

This am in metro west more then half the cars I saw still had snow on the roofs, let alone ice.

So the shover was released from prison? I don't see that mentioned in the article.
