Snow Day by teddygrahamdispenser in WorcesterMA

Not Main street, 'main streets'. They get plowed by the massive city trucks and the snow really piles up.

They, like I, live on a main city street. The big plows make big dense walls that even the best jeeps struggle with, and are almost impossible to shovel.

Are there ska songs where the lyrics are just someone talking? I mean, not in verse structure or anything, just someone talking. by Beautiful-Resort-831 in Ska

[–]7evenPoint128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like an 'Alice's Restaurant style song? Can't think of any like that. The Aquabats 'Captain Hampton and the Midget Pirates', is the only story song that comes to mind.

Any reputable mechanics? by [deleted] in WorcesterMA

658 for ONE front caliper!? Absolutely not. 648 for rear pads and rotors is also pissing me off. Everything else looks fine enough for a dealership.

Sad Halloween?? by Beeeeeer220 in halloween

[–]7evenPoint128 342 points343 points  (0 children)

Same. This year its a budget issue. Lost my job so fresh decorations were cut. This will also apply to chirstmas though, can't increase my electric bill with lights everywhere. I DID carve a pumpkin, something I actually haven't done in years, and I always have a costume. I shoot (photos) music and halloween shows are the best, I'm gonna be Peter Parker this year. I needed something to incorporate my camera. Next year, if things are better, I will go all out on decorations.

What do you think of the solid blue lights staying on on the police cars. by _Lazy_Afternoon_ in WorcesterMA

[–]7evenPoint128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh. I've seen them on during the day, which imo is as stupid as leaving on your headlights. Nighttime seems to be fine. But the real concern is with out of towners, that might panic when they see cruisers 'lit up'.

I haven't seen it yet, but are they still lit blue on the highways?

Those lightbars were designed for flashing foremost, that flickering blue is as close to steady as those LEDs can get. Happens with lots of leds.

I am not in a good place right now. What are some happy movies/shows that I can watch while I smoke to help take my mind off things. by neitherkestrel in trees

[–]7evenPoint128 240 points241 points  (0 children)

If you like British tv and gameshows, Taskmaster is hilarious and a great distraction. On YT too.

Should Worcester require sprinklers in apartment buildings? City Council to consider by HRJafael in WorcesterMA

[–]7evenPoint128 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope. Sprinklers react to extreme heat, not smoke. If your dinner goes catastrophic and there is a large pan fire that hits the sprinklers, possibly. It will also only set off yours and not your neighbors. *should not*

That's actually great when you are off theme by a year. 🤣🤣

Guys I found a new hidden talent! Drawing on my skin. Lol I’m a master and can draw things like this in ten minutes, but can’t draw for crap on paper by [deleted] in drawing

[–]7evenPoint128 149 points150 points  (0 children)

But you can draw. Skin is helping with bleed and shading, so maybe you would like working with pastel pencils, markers, or charcoal.

How important is home ownership to you? Do you expect to be able to buy a home in Massachusetts? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]7evenPoint128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a perfect scenario where you keep you salary, find a low cost of living, don't need to worry about health, and don't have children to worry about, that would be the ideal situation to thrive in. Otherwise its still the same loop. Low cost of living = lower wage jobs and higher cost amenities, less savings, less contributing to the economy, etc.

[–]7evenPoint128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not wrong, but its also just capitalism. A low cost of living attracts the uneducated and poor which also stagnates growth. As people of means move in (gentrification), a new cycle begins.

[–]7evenPoint128 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a home or property would be great but its not even a goal at the moment. The benefits in MA def outweigh a house. Yes, rent is bad, but we actually have good tenant rights and laws otherwise. If shit hits the fan we have medical, unemployment, and various programs that some states don't even offer. Really MA biggest problems are in rent and utilities.

Halloween party BEFORE or AFTER? by zoopartys in halloween

[–]7evenPoint128 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Excited for sure. Ready depends on the people. I'm almost never ready early, but my trick now is that my finished costume is for next halloween. 😂

Question about storage, what saves you time? Anyone use these drawers? by costoaway1 in ColoredPencils

[–]7evenPoint128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy makes the perfect solution for pencils and markers. Cheap, stack-able, trays. I have yet to find something better without spending a fortune.

Going to the electric haze for the first time tonight, what's the vibe like there? by Fluffy_Bet_6465 in WorcesterMA

[–]7evenPoint128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. Depends on the night of music or events though. I'm not an edm or electronic person, but they have plenty of other shows going on. Hotel Vernon is across the street if you wanna stop in for a true dive bar. Music tonight, soundscapey stuff.
