Reply to Fox 7 is measuring snowfall in Dunk's Cup by tilehinge
If MGT gets her separatist ways the great country of New England can instead of replacing the standard system with metric (totally sensible) go full-on dunks.
What does the South do? Measure rain in chicken tenders?

The North Shore has absolutely no snow. Bare streets and sidewalks.

It's a known and quantifiable fact that Baker's been meddling with the T since long before he took office.
Baker was the guy who gutted funding for the MBTA to fund the Big Dig. It takes a pretty big sense of self delusion to not notice that a lot of the T's current issues are at Charlie's feet.

Not at all! I used to ski alone and I’d actually sign up for an intermediate ski class just so I could practice skills and get a private tour of the mountain

I mean yes we also didn't want to pay for the Seven Years War/French and Indian War even though George Washington personally started it.

We have bare sidewalks in Beacon Hill - no shoveling required.

Go to any pawn shop. A lot of broke college students. Bound to find a gem somewhere if you look enough.

I feel like Boston always does this thing where they test something for a few months and go “look no one’s riding it.” But in reality it takes much longer for people’s learned behavior to change when it comes to travel.

Overhyped. By meteorologists desperate for a storm.

No. Do what you enjoy, as long as it harms noone.

Seriously, friend, I just went to Disney World alone. No kids, no partner, just me. And (aside from catching COVID, damnit) had an absolute, smashingly good time of it. :)

It's bullshit to pay hundreds of dollars a month for a commuter rail pass and have the only viable option from North Station to Kendall be a fucking private bus line.

I used to bike from Union Square to Kendall Square, my wife made me stop after the third time I almost died from people running red lights. I've got kids, I'm not brave enough to bike in the city.

I'm sure my fans would agree with you.
So called "unhoused people" are human beings. Many of which are what you would call "voluntary homeless." In fact there is a subreddit (that I'll let you find) where redditors talk about how to just be bums, "hang signs," live on the streets and otherwise just be parasitic on society.
The real homeless are people who are down on their luck, don't want to live on the street or are disabled. Society should find a place for them where they don't have to rest on public sidewalks.
