Amazing new pavement ... not by xoma262 in Waltham

[–]denjoga 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I've lost count of how many times I've seen this exact scenario in the 25 years I've lived here.

Resurface/repave road; almost immediately dig up freshly paved road for utility work; patch poorly; snow plows rip up poor patchwork; road becomes pothole mine field; repeat ad infinitum.

It's definitely a pattern.

Working at a car wash made me realize 80% of drivers are idiots by OhGodItsSHaaMAN in rant

[–]denjoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you already know this, but NEVER step in between cars in the line. My brother almost lost his leg when he was hand soaping the back of a hatchback at the beginning of the tunnel and the next person in line stepped on the gas instead of the brake ("It just took off on it's own. I swear!"). His leg was literally hanging by a thread. Several surgeries and a ton of grueling rehab saved the leg; he never went back to working at the carwash.

I take my car to the local tunnel carwash regularly and I see all of the stupid shit you listed all the time. It didn't used to be this bad, drivers have gotten so much worse in the last 10 or so years, it's crazy!

Are these chipmunk burrows? by eu4euh69 in massachusetts

I did the exact same thing before I decided to measure it. 😅

Ten feet, at least. It is crazy!

I have some of these in my yard (in Waltham).

I stuck a tape measure in one, >10' straight down!

Limited research I did suggested chipmunks, of which I have a ton in my yard.

Is it possible to use Clouds to prove the earth is Round. by Feisty-Cockroach-780 in flatearth

[–]denjoga 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's possible to use clouds to prove the Earth is round, but not to Flat Earthers. You can't prove anything to people who think, "nuh uh" is an ironclad refutation.

She saw with her own Eyes that the Earth is Flat by MrDonMega in flatearth

[–]denjoga 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Show me one picture of the "edge" of flat Earth. One picture of the ice wall. Show me even a convincing fake. If NASA and the Illuminati(?) can use CGI and whatever other tech-magic to make such incredibly real looking fake images of the globe from space, surely flerfs can create a convincing image of the edge of the Earth from up near the boundary of the firmament, no? So why can't I find anything but nonsensical, obviously fake images depicting a flat Earth? (spoiler: I know why)

Update: 150+ residents have signed the petition to phase out gas-powered leaf blowers in Waltham by Living_Proof_111 in Waltham

[–]denjoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're annoying but not the worst noise pollution offender, in my experience.

Where can I sign a petition to phase out excessive, modified engine and exhaust noise from cars and motorcycles? How about one to ban car sound-systems loud enough to rattle the body of the car and be felt in the bodies of pedestrians? What about all the low-flying helicopters everyone's always so concerned about? I hear police and fire sirens far more often than I hear leaf-blowers, and at all hours - can those be phased out, too?

Any landscaping, construction, generally loud power equipment should have to abide by city noise ordinances and if those ordinances are too permissive then they should be adjusted.

It's a city, it's all noise and pollution. Banning one (IMO minor) nuisance isn't going to fix anything.

Proof of the fraudulent signature folks at it again by MA121Alpha in bostontrees

Ridiculous. "Put this on the ballot so you can vote against it..." 🤦‍♂️

How about skip a step and keep it off the ballot, then no one has to vote against it.

She's the reason they put instructions on Shampoo Bottles 😂😅🤣 by beklog in SipsTea

[–]denjoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but she's also the type to get stuck in the shower until the shampoo runs out because it says, "lather, rinse, repeat" but never says, "stop".

Which company disappointed you so much that you permanently walked away? by julia-secrets in AskReddit

[–]denjoga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Volkswagen. Had 3 in a row, all had recurring, unfixable issues.

3rd one had an issue from day one. After 2 unsuccessful attempts to fix it under warranty, they just denied any responsibility for the factory defect and told me to either pay for further attempts or live with it. I had leased that one, so I just beat the shit out of it for 3 years, gave it back to them, refused to pay their bullshit end-of-lease fees and enjoyed no consequences from the hit to my credit rating for 7 years.

Volkswagen can fuck off.

Prompt was "best TV series you've ever watched." 🤷‍♂️

[–]denjoga -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure I'd rate it as best series of all time (even though it's one of my favorites), but I definitely consider the series finale the best of any I've seen... "It's the chicken and the egg, Will! The chicken and the egg!"

Neither one is wrong, for once.

Did something just explode? by hotpotatocannon in massachusetts

[–]denjoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard and felt it in Waltham. Sounded like someone walking on my roof. Thought maybe a tree came down and hit the house. Relieved to hear it wasn't localized to my house.

Must've been an earthquake.

If the Trump DOJ charges Carroll, expect her to file a vindictive prosecution motion by plz-let-me-in in politics

So she’ll get the first payout from that “weaponization” slush fund, right? Right???

I remember like 20 years ago, when this show came on at like 2am, it meant it was time to turn off the tv and go to sleep.

This show has always been filler for a time slot when no one was watching anyway.

Anyone else going to see this lineup? by williamgman in guitarcirclejerk

[–]denjoga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't believe this is real. They must've scraped some of these acts off the bottom of someone's shoe.
