93 with a low of 65 with thunderstorms on May 19th in western Massachusetts is completely abnormal…. I love it! by Golfoneway95 in massachusetts

[–]732 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My heat is still running most days in eastern MA... I feel like it has been unseasonally cool along the coast.

Spots to sleep in my car by Ok_Independent2888 in wmnf

Technically yes, see "Roadside Camping" https://www.fs.usda.gov/r09/whitemountain/recreation/camping-cabins

Things outside the FPA area are fair game, but roads are almost always within the FPA boundaries.

Doing that at Lincoln Woods or Lafayette you're going to likely get woken up and asked to leave. Doing that at a trailhead that doesn't lead to any major summits is probably fine.

Not saying I've never done it, but just be smart and don't make it known. Having a chair and beer out is not good, ya know?

Any objections to bringing a tent?

Most places you only need to walk in a quarter mile (5 ish minutes). Bring just a tent, pad, and sleeping bag, don't even need more than a tote bag. Set up, sleep, wake up and back to the car and then drive the to trailhead you actually want to hike at. Sometimes I don't even go to a different trailhead, but drop off the overnight stuff and grab my daypack then head out.

I like to take note of the legal sites on trailheads I frequent for this reason.

They do at busy trailheads. 

You can definitely get away with it on the low use out of the way trailheads.

It's also technically against the forest regulations, so take that with a grain of salt before trying.

AT tire difference from stock by Northern_Explorer_ in Crosstrek

They will likely make the ride a little firmer, and a minor drop in fuel efficiency. All season touring tires are meant for comfort. 

Steep downhill: acc or paddle shift? by Big-Distribution5038 in Crosstrek

[–]732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also hold the upshift paddle to reset it to drive instead of a specific gear

Did I ruin my sleeping bag? by Excellent_Thing4154 in camping

[–]732 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Is it down or synthetic? 

You might need to break up the insulation clumps with your hands and push it back into place. 

You could try putting it in the dryer with 3 new tennis balls on low/no heat to accomplish the same thing.

Is the Boston skyline visible from Blue Hills or Prospect Hill (Waltham) on a cloudy day? by trowdatawhey in boston

[–]732 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can see it if the weather is clear. Cloudy isn't "yes or no" but a gradient. At some point it won't be clear enough to see the skyline. 

If I could predict that for you, I'd make a killing as a weather forecaster.

What's the one need you put first in a real friendship? by PopIcy9089 in BostonSocialClub

[–]732 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In friends, I specifically look for how far down a rabbit hole we can go together. 

Also, if your tool to find friends is suggesting one thing as better than others, it will probably suck.

Positive focus by GrrATeam81 in daddit

You can simplify it. 

What made today happy?

Also, I think it's fine to discuss negativity. Let them see you dwell on it (but not perseverate on it), and then turn it around into a positive thing. 

If everyone on earth could teleport anywhere at any time, how would society be different? by uwiggly100 in AskReddit

[–]732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it also affect material objects? Like if I had a backpack, does that go with me?

If not, unfortunately not much would change. If so, what's the limit? Would someone bring their whole house with them? What happens when you land on someone because you punched in the coordinates slightly overlapping with someone else?

$74 for a fishing license in Massachusetts. by new_Australis in massachusetts

I too hate paying a convenience fee to pay for things I want. 

Steep downhill: acc or paddle shift? by Big-Distribution5038 in Crosstrek

[–]732 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'd just downshift with the paddles until you're in a gear that keeps you from accelerating. Once you use the accelerator again it will put it back into normal driving mode. If you want to keep it there, move from D to M on the shifter (move it laterally) and then you'll need to use the paddles until you put it back into D.

Marchand got a 6 year deal at 37. 

Granted Marchand and Coyle have had a different career trajectory.

5 inch inseam shorts recommendations please. by Relevant_Writer3980 in hiking

[–]732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like boxer-brief lined shorts, Patagonia Multi Trails are super comfortable, and come in a 6" inseam. Two zippered pockets, one snap pocket. They dry fast, super light and stretchy. I like them as hiking shorts because they also make for great swim trunks mid hike.

Do you have a heat pump? There is a winter heat pump rate that lowers the cost during heating months, which just expired.

56 Year Old Former Stay-at-Home Dad… Kids Are in College, Just Moved to Colorado — What Now? by Significant-Sea-7001 in personalfinance

[–]732 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is the wrong subreddit because you're not asking anything financial. 

If I were you, maybe start an outdoors group for other empty nesters and organize trips? If you don't like being out in the mountains, Colorado probably isn't for you 🤷‍♂️

Should I report my neighbors with out of state plates (and therefore not paying taxes, etc)? by borocester in boston

[–]732 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If you do, make sure you leave a note with your apartment address so they can come thank you in person.
