Ok great. Just 5 years for the line that goes to your home. And then the next 5 years for the line that goes by your work.

As I said: one line at a time.
So, yeah, it probably would take a couple of decades to do all the work. But it wouldn't be a couple decades of "No trains".

Reply to Blue Hills Ski Area this AM by jugglefire
Went there last night - acceptable skiing, had the hill to myself, and they were cranking the snowmaking equipment at the end. Perfect for getting a quick hit of midweek skiing. Hope that they haven't taken enough of a hit this year that they can make it to next winter.

We live in New England. You are prepared to dress for any temperature, and you deal with the snow and ice on your car before heading out.

That'll happen when all plans to boost capacity and transition to clean energy get blocked by NIMBYs.

Thing I never understood about crypto is everyone says it an alternative to fiat money, but…everyone buys it with $, then watches with the intent to make more $, then sells for $ (or goes bankrupt lol). So if the whole point is making $, why not go to casino or invest in actual stocks of real companies with tangible products? 🤷♂️

Boston Central is a good resource if you don't mind seeing some family-oriented events.

>did nothing to help
Yeah except stop the lunatic from pushing more people onto the tracks. That's really not nothing. But it's fine, you can always become Batman and save the next person, right? Thank god for you.

Why does something someone else has piss you off? Are you unhappy with your own life and situation?

I know, but it pisses me off that I worked for 44 years with no pension while my tax dollars were underwriting someone else’s.

One of the few perks to get talented people to work in govt. Scientists and engineers and doctors working at FDA, EPA, DOE, etc could all be making a lot more money in private industry.

Ok, so they have a job they have to do and you’re just shutting on them and getting downvoted. You sound like a total dick, actually. Type of guy that probably looks down on service staff etc. as well I’m guessing.

Totally get you in that and I am not a tiny lady. There are two things to consider if this ever happens to you. If you have a free hand, go for the eyes. People instinctively try to protect their eyes… it is some kind of brain stem level response so even a person who needs mental health aid will likely drop you.
The other is what my childhood PE/Health teacher taught all us little boys and girls… if you can reach the eyes, then go for the other bits (she used to shout GRAB, TWIST, and PULL!!)
Honestly, I always figured that if some dude tried to jump me, knowing that I probably am not a martial arts expert or even a journeymen boxer, I would totally go the the GTP option. A handful of dude bits being grabbed l, twisted, and pulled would also result in quick release I think.
Eye gouging is king though…

Reply to Best bars for queer women? by Electronic_Yam_9246
Go alone wherever you want. Part of that is a self limitation based on comfort. Almost any bar is just fine to go alone regardless of audience. Don’t let places intimidate you or make you feel weird going alone.
