Some of those older buildings are ugly, though. We should expect more, and I don't think critiquing ugly condos is the equivalent to saying we shouldn't build more housing stock. We absolutely should. I certainly wouldn't pay over a half a million to live in an ugly condo building from 2015, but clearly some people will.

Every year at least a dozen condos go up in and around Boston that are so much uglier.

I didn't know Becky had left. Or even arrived in the first place.

In the Wrath of Kahn, the bridge of the Enterprise and the bridge of the Reliant (Kahn's ship) are the same set with slightly different configuration.

Thanks for the advice! I'll look into that.

Reply to Anyone Ever take the Tax Penalty by caper293
I don't take the tax penalty, but I'm paying nearly a thousand dollars a month on health insurance for my family because I make just a tad too much to get any help through the Health Connector. Outside of my mortgage, it's my biggest expense.
However, I was talking to my father in law who is going to retire in his fifties because he's a fireman, and he's looking at a thousand a month just for him. He's in Ohio. So, I guess it could be shittier, but I know that's not much consolation.

The show is trying to finally put an end to the "where does Western Mass start" debate. It starts ten miles west of Boston.

It would be helpful to get some of those cars off the road by providing reliable and friendly public transportation.

Sorry that that's happening. It's a shitty position to be in. I hope things work out for you quickly.

Reply to comment by StudentDPT in THE DARK CRYSTAL Is Returning To Theaters In Celebration of 40th Anniversary! - Icon Vs. Icon by _coffee_
Every time I see a news story about The Dark Crystal, I get pissed off at Netflix all over again. The cancellation of Age of Resistance is probably the biggest Netflix disappointment I've had. People joke about Netflix cancelling shows after three seasons, but we didn't even get a second season.

It's sounds like a first step. Kicking those involved in the hazing off the team and canceling the seasons seem like a good start.

I'm pretty sure that's what these people had in mind. And they were smart enough to take the train instead of drive.

When I came into North Station at 8:30am I noticed a number of people dressed up for Salem, so I think there's something to that.

I grew up in Ohio where I knew of only one Dunks location in all of northeast Ohio, and I still remember those commercials. I think they were national.
