I did but the entire roof of my car is glass. Also, I have a Florida plate.

If they had a fancy website you’d complain they paid too much. Shit is updated recently and works on my phone, it’s fine. Want the transit police to start dancing on tik tok to prove their worth or what?

You’re right. Last time was there it was for a youth cheer event so there were some seats out for the parents. I didn’t even notice there aren’t any stands. Not even any space for stands.

I think the FTA told the T they've got to fix things: https://www.mbta.com/quality-compliance-oversight/fta-safety-management-inspection-response

Fish Field house is an indoor practice venue mainly. There aren’t any spectator seats. It’s used so players can play/practice outdoor sports in crappy New England weather.

Getting so tired of this new age NE lecture from Those who don’t even know about the blizzard of 78
We live in NE. Snow and ice is life during the winter. We do the best we can. If you want to live here then expect some snow and ice blow off that we can’t always get off the car become it’s literally frozen on when you have to drive. I don’t get the super feels about living in NE and occasionally having snow fly at you. It’s literally life here. And we all live through it.
Your description says it all. Super dramatic. “I was literally dodging sheets of ice on my morning commute”
Well, ice dodger. I got up. Got ready for work by 5 am when temps are still absurd. Ran the car for 25 minutes despite the cost of gas in an effort to warm the entire car. I’m a 5’3 woman who also has three kids and drives a 4WD SUV because it’s safer in the snow for my kids. I have a long snow scraper/ shovel. Still can’t really reach the roof adequately. I make the effort. But when it gets wet and freezes over and I can barely reach and I make every effort, I’m not going to not go to work just in case a non-new englander might be offended if ice flies off my car. I also don’t get upset when someone else’s ice hit me. Like the entire sheet that hit my windshield on the way home. Like pull over and make sure your windshield isn’t broken kind of ice sheet. And I hold nothing against the guy in that car who lost ice. Know why? Cuz I also get that guy. The new age sanctimonious lectures about “make sure you clean off your car, etc happy horseshit” are getting old.
You live in New England. Ice and snow happen. Expect it and deal. Extend the same kindness warrior to other people. Show the same empathy you’re expecting from others and understanding that our cars ice over and we do the best we can but this is where we live. You’re not the hero in an Indiana Jones movie dodging rabid vampire bats. You’re not the hero here. Extend some empathy and understanding to the other people on the road. Most people are well intentioned an do our best.
If you live here during winter, ice is going to hit your car. Welcome

Crunch the numbers on what a DUI will run you. I promise $100 is a sweet deal.

Yeah, I don't get the downvote hate either. OP seems to want to get fucking wrecked and have a simple, cheap, and easy solution delivered to them for getting home while blitzed. Any sensible suggestion gets snark, apparently.

Reply to comment by becausefrog in What kind of reputation do the Environmental Police have? by Irrelevantknowledge
I want to go back in time and smack the dipstick that decided to license fishing of all things.
If you give a man a fish, the FDA will fine you for not being regulated to distribute fish.
If you teach a man to fish, the Environmental Police will confiscate his rod and boat.
Now repeat after me: I am free.

Same. Minus the guilt.
We live in winter. Ice sheets happen. It’s a fact of life. We need to go back to 2000 when people were hearty enough to understand and accept this

Good suggestion, but the last train inbound is likely too early if OP is staying for the whole show.

I proposed a safe option. Obviously alcoholics don't like hearing it, hence all the downvotes.

Not sure of your budget, but there is a Fairfield Inn & Suites less than a mile away that you can Uber/taxi to and from.

Would you rather this person just drive drunk instead? Fuck him for asking for safe options right?

That's the compliance dashboard, not the slow zone one.

If you want to wait until 5AM for a train, sure. Commuter rail's not running by the time a show lets out. Last inbound on the Providence line hits Mansfield station at 10:45PM on weekdays, 9:59PM on weekends.

Reply to comment by lilbitspecial in 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
Oh, right. So RMV1 or RTA or whatever, I’m pretty sure the insurer has to certify it or whatever before the RMV registers the car.

Not a parent but my little brother (17) went to a school where they helped teach him everyday activities such as shopping, job finding, etc. I would ask the school if they have anything similar it might be a start. If you need any information on the schools feel free to dm me!

Yes! I follow the "north shore moms" IG page and they have a good weekly list, although a lot of it is specifically for kids and very north shore focused
