Reply to Best Indian restaurant in Massachusetts? by gwhizz79
I like Punjabi Dhaba (Cambridge) and Masala (Somerville). I live by Arlington for 3 days a week and I have about 20 Indian restaurants within 20 mins…been to 6 of them so far. I live by the Cape on the weekends and I think Golden Swan is solid but not great, I think the two places that I listed are better. I think Ayur Shri in Dartmouth is decent, the takeout time there is ridiculously long though.

Yes you can. Real ID enforcement hasn't gone into effect and has been postponed until 2025.

The need for a real ID doesn't vary by airline. The TSA is the only one who looks at your ID at the airport and the date that Real ID enforcement goes into effect is 5/7/2025. It was supposed to be this year but got pushed back.

Why not just wait until you're due for renewal next year? You won't need a Real ID before your current ID expires in 2024, the date got pushed back (again) until 2025. I got a Real ID in 2020 and I'm going to end up renewing it before I ever need it.

And I thought that you were going to pick on him for his display of the flag... what could be worse? Being a thong for his 300 pound girlfriend?

If you want to be in that area you'd be sacrificing safety for excitement. North Attleboro is perfectly safe. Pawtucket, Fall River, New Befah, Woonsocket are arguably more exciting but not as safe.

Reply to Bald eagle dead in Massachusetts after officials suspect it ate poisoned rodent by milkfiend
That is too bad. These poisons are long know to harm other wildlife as "collateral damage" and simply shouldn't be allowed.

My last time around I did not choose the real ID simply because I have a passport, was eligible to renew my license online, and it only took 8 minutes online to renew & pay for my driver's license. Next time I am required to take a new photo then I will bring in all the extra paperwork to make it a Real ID.

Are you too stupid to realize you're on the internet, or is it a mental disorder?

Just get it out of the way. If you live here you will need to get it done eventually. Make an appointment or use AAA they can help you too. Get the documents and do it. It takes 10 min

Any federal ID can be used to board a plane, not just a passport. Green cards and global entry are a-ok too. So are Nexus and Sentri cards

This was pushed back to 2025, a regular ID is fine to board a plane.

You cannot get on a plane without a Real ID if you don't have a passport. You wouldn't ordinarily use a passport on a domestic flight but you need one or the other.

>Customers are eligible to renew online up to one year in advance of the expiration date printed on their license or ID, and up to two years after the expiration date.
>
>Prior to May 7, 2025, customers will not yet need a federally compliant REAL ID for the purposes of boarding domestic flights or entering certain federal buildings. The fee for renewing a non-commercial standard or REAL ID license is $50, while the fee for upgrading to a standard or REAL ID card is $25.

Dunno if you realized or not but the plane restriction thing did get pushed back to like 2025 so you don’t really need to do it just yet

He has no recollection of directing that film because of all the cocaine he did.

I recommend adding if it is color or black and white and the style as well if possible. This will help people give better recommendations

I don't know about now. I did it two years ago and it had to be within six months of the expiration. But I wanted the renewal also.
I think you might be able to go and get a new one issued but would still have to renew it in 2024....but don't quote me on that.

It’s really easy, you fill out an application for a real ID online then head to RMV (I went to AAA) with your documents up to year before your license expires and they will send you a real ID. There are more documents required than if you want to renew and get a regular license but it’s the same RMV appointment type and the same cost. Downside is you need to renew in person if you want a real ID.

Thank you. Do you know if I can do all that even earlier, before the 6 months?
I saw an airline that want the real ID starting May 2023 even though 2025 I read is when it should start

I'd get real ID ,I believe you need a Birth certificate ,SS card,your old picture ID/DL and two pieces of mail with your current address not more than 60 days old.A passport could also substitute as well for additional ID
