Yes. Why would someone, in this weather, get in the hammer lane and drive next to someone without passing them. There are only 5 cars within 3mi 🙄
Just came up 93n with the defrosters on max and the back windows down the cabin under 90deg. Had to stop twice to defrost the wipers. Also ran out of washer fluid. Nasty.

The fact that you refer to "the US Dept of Immigration" makes me think that you're not really on top of the documentation. I can't blame you, the bureaucracy can be bewilderingly complex. There are a variety of government agencies in the U.S. that deal with immigration, none called "the US Dept of Immigration". You're most likely refering to USCIS, DHS, CBP, or the U.S. Department of State depending on where exactly in the process your grandmother is. I recommend hiring a U.S. immigration lawyer and doing what they tell you. If you can't afford one, try fundraising, finding a pro-bono one or going to a low-income legal clinic.

Glad you made it there safely! I once drove from Boston to Bangor in an icy blizzard several years ago, a four hour trip took me about eight hours because I had to go 15 mph and everyone was sliding everywhere. That drive is terrible in bad weather.

Those are usually motion sensors, not red light cams. Some are cameras but no town wants to be the first to turn them on because they're worried it'll damage the local economy.

My dad always says "Just make sure to stop twice at the next one" if one of those stop signs sneak up at you behind corners

Those aren’t traffic cameras they are cameras to operate the lights instead of just inductive sensors in the ground. The cameras can see what’s there and relays the data to the controller to react accordingly to minimize traffic, idle time, or missed reads from the ground sensors motorcycles and bicycles.

The East-West rail Alternative 4/5 Hybrid included travel times of 1 hour and 37 minutes between Springfield and South Station, with stops in Palmer, Worcester, Framingham, and Back Bay.
You might want to do some introductory reading about this project before you make ridiculous false claims like "5 hour round trip". The East-West rail study included both travel times and potential ridership, but you clearly didn't read any of it.
Talking about something you don't even have a basic understanding of is foolish and embarrassing.

Arguing against public transportation in a traffic-choked state like Massachusetts is ass-backwards. Telling people to "just drive" when we're not and never will be building new roads and highways to facilitate this traffic is dumb as hell.

jfc that was peak reddit. FINE we have a STaTe LeGiSLaTuRe so they should talk to their damn state rep. And yes, I think they should talk to both because all hands on deck in this type of situation, no? It seems pretty urgent.

I would guess oral/verbal and written are the same and mean as opposed to suspected or suspicion.
This also does not mean that extreme emotional disturbance via adultry can't mean a reduced charge or verdict but that proof or suspicion of infidelity in and of itself can't prove extreme emotional disturbance.
Sort of like taking psyche meds is not proof of legal insanity in and of itself but that does mean insanity can't be proven.

Hahah I neglected to mention. I’ll do maybe once a month through a touch less wash and a good DIY 2 bucket wash twice a year.

A large amount of effort barely affects resale value so who cares. Bottom of my priorities list

Our versions of “don’t really care” are very different. My car gets washed when it rains, plus maybe three times yearly of actual soap and a sponge, and the rust just adds character. In the past I have tried to care for so many cars, and no matter my effort, the rust just finds a way. ::sigh::

They are on the lights, but I don't think they actually do anything.

Detail or DIY. Carwash style doesn't get an even or deep protective coat. Plus all the grit in the brushes at a car wash will damage your paint.

Basically just a bar of clay that takes all the dirt out of the paint.
Next time you wash your car, run your hand against the car. You will feel a million little bumps. That's dirt embedded into the paint. Clay takes it out and makes it silky smooth before you wax

“Going forward, we no longer will recognize that an oral discovery of infidelity satisfies the objective element of something that would provoke a reasonable person to kill his or her spouse.”
Oddly specific—does this ruling not apply if it’s in writing? What about if it’s a partner’s suspicion but it isn’t admitted to?

I left Boston for Maine at 5pm today... worst drive i've ever had in my life. Cold as hell yet somehow still drizzling, not snow, so the windshield kept icing up. So cold that the defroster couldn't keep the whole windshield ice-free unless i turned the thermostat to 90. And then salt... i went through a whole gallon of wiper fluid. And then my damn headlights iced over. And that's before we even get to the other drivers. Holy shit.
