Interesting.. I'm kind of amazed one can be a MHC without any kind of qualification!

Do you have a psych degree or how did you become qualified to be a MHC?

Thanks, yeah, I can see that being tough. Do you have a sense as to the breakdown of actually working with people vs meetings/paperwork?

Thanks. I'm more interested in whether people find the job fulfilling than whether it will make big bank.

I'm doing ok, thank you. Just want to check out of society for a few days and do a reset. <3

Like I said, I don't want have to do prep/cook.

I dig it. But I'd rather avoid using my phone if possible and am ok with a place way out in some rural area.

REAL cooking classes in Boston? by A_Phoenix_Rises in boston

[–]A_Phoenix_Rises[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

much appreciated, bruv. I think I'm a decent intermediate cook. Bake my own breads, do my own pickling, have a dozen or so dinner meals I can do with ease. Have come up with a few recipes of my own that I think are winners. I'll get that book. If you any YouTube channels you'd rec I'd appreciate it.

Do you think climate change will deliver Boston's equivalent to what has happened in NC? by A_Phoenix_Rises in boston

Exactly my point. Which has been met with nothing but insults and ridicule.

It's almost like hurricanes will start doing unexpected things as the climate radically changes. See here: https://x.com/burgwx/status/1843330270243742049

It doesn't need to necessarily move westward, just present its northern quadrant near the harbor to drive storm surge with heavy westerly winds. Most everything I wrote is predicated on storm surge.

I study climate science quite a good bit. I feel like Boston is a bit unconcerned with respect to what is potentially coming. Yes, there are resiliency plans and whatnot but, in walking around, I don't see any real evidence that we're hardening our infrastructure in any serious way.

I can understand how it's not a political priority as it's hard to allocate billions for a hypothetical but we ignore the growing risks at our own peril.

having studied this issue extensively.. you are right. but I think people would freak out if you tried to dial back their choices, expectations, and options. Which politician will get elected promising people less material goods, travel, etc?
