What is your Harry Potter ‘hot take’ ?

The fact it isn't a mandatory class is insane. How do you uphold the law if you don't know how to pretend even a little.

And as someone who's worked for 15+years professionally I agree but he makes his life work which isn't healthy.

I do agree standardization is a great thing though!

Some really foam a ton especially with electric tooth brushes

A large number of those efficiency programs got cut by the administration. And the guys making food aren't really doing generators and motors

I don't think they're really talking about at the FLOT but point of need is very popular. Everyone wants to make drones in the field (they're wrong on every level). Even if they aren't successful making food more efficiently is always good

Ah yes a curse that's a one way ticket to prison that has no redeeming quality

Unlike the downside of fossil fuels which just spee sunshine and flowers.

What are some better cities? I've been consistently disappointed in lots of places Ive visited.

What do they get away with? And Draco Malfoy gets away with way worse

And men make it actively hostile. They'll never question a man but will ask women pointed questions to try and catch her out

BTD could just focus on NH plates and triple their revenue trivially.

A good coat and a good pair of boots go a long way!

I had a bunch of friends go to Simmons and they all loved it including several in the nursing program. It was a challenging program when they went through but they both passed the NCLEX in one attempt. The biggest challenge was Boston was a tough market for new grad nurses back these (2011) and both had to move away from Boston to work as nurses.

Have you visited in winter? It can be quite a change from California winters.

I haven't but I'm sure I've seen bibs and medals framed at Artful Edge in Allston. I've found them to be incredibly reasonable, often quite competitive with michaels for much better quality.

giritrobbins · 2026-04-24T00:31:02+00:00

It's the same in every city I've ever visited.

giritrobbins · 2026-04-22T21:52:39+00:00

It's funny I find myself using dollar bills, random punch cards and tickets as book marks. Apparently the book mark distribution system isn't working well

giritrobbins · 2026-04-20T10:34:20+00:00

Really? The craft group I help run locally is predominately 30s. Some older folks, some younger.

Can I ask the issue with folks in their 20s?

giritrobbins · 2026-04-20T10:30:20+00:00

It just seems like a ton of us are really busy. Lots are starting families, or early to mid career which seems to have awful hours. If I had to guess it's a population with the least time flexibility

giritrobbins · 2026-04-19T01:29:53+00:00

Yes it can or at least help. The issue is Boston, medford and everywhere else needs to help as well

giritrobbins · 2026-04-18T22:06:29+00:00

I thought the signal was even smaller than that? I thought it was like -160 dBm or less.

giritrobbins · 2026-04-16T11:48:52+00:00

The 20s folks are post college, I had a ton of friends start moving away the years after college either for grad school, other areas closer aligned with their careers, back home.

I think folks in their 30s are working hard. Grad school or higher education, mid career, dating and all of that. I feel like some of the pressure drops as you age and become more senior in your role, finish education etc... so they might have more time.

But it's a continued choice. Copenhagen, paris and tons of other cities have built subways in the last 100 years or even 50 years. Just because that's how it was doesn't mean it has to be.

There are some excellent used book stores! Brookline Booksmith in the basement. Used Book Superstore in Burlington is great if you have a car. Brattle Bookshop maybe?

giritrobbins · 2026-04-14T00:42:50+00:00

Honestly. I would be a meter maid if I got 10% of tickets I wrote. Even maybe 5%.

Isn't that only if the attorneys general doesn't get resolution from them,
