Reply to comment by reaper527 in MBTA won’t roll out $935M automated fare payment system in 2024 by weallgettheemails2
Ever year—especially post-covid—this becomes more embarrassing. How many realms of life do you actually need a physical card for nowadays? Credit cards, gym cards, library cards—all of these have been outsourced to digital functionality. It really shouldn’t be that hard for transit to do the same (and it doesn’t even need to be tied to your credit card like NYC—you can just have a virtual card that can be reloaded with funds whenever you want).

Wish they would have just put that billion in an endowment fund and use that money to fund it in perpetuity with free rides for all. Shit, levy a sales tax and ad that to the fund annually to increase the principle while we're at it.

Electric heater efficiency is 100% because all of the electricity is converted into heat waste through resistance

I only see them in the hair store. They’re cool, but I do need to frequent more black-owned stores.

Reply to comment by dathorese in Moving truck from Tampa with Bucs logo and “equipment truck” on side spotted downtown. Just someone moving or Brady memorabilia moving back to the Boston area? by NYC-BOS
Celtics don’t have official movers. I used to work for a moving company and I moved Schroeder and Marcus Smart.

Reply to What is the closest thing you’ve had delivered out of sheer refusal to leave the house by Previous-Aspect-3171
I once ordered delivery from a sushi place 450ft from my house. It was well over 100 degrees out and I didn’t want to leave the air conditioned house. Tipped the guy well though

Reply to What's the best day spa in Boston? by eyeyeye329
I love Mandarin Oriental, but they reconfigured their schedule so appointments start at the same time (used to have some staggered times). It means the check in process can be chaotic, which is disappointing for a very expensive experience.

This looks so cool, and I’ve never even heard about it before now. How do you find out about events like this? I feel like I’m constantly looking for stuff like this and am always amazed at how I still always manage to miss cool stuff

Especially if OP is keeping it at 73 degrees! I'd keep it at 50-55 and dress warm.
