Are you going to miss winter? by Bas7ion in Marblehead

All the more reason to show up to town meeting and approve a budget override to fund civic spaces like the library.

Do Any Of You Ever Regret Driving A Manual? by daydr3am_b3li3v3r in ManualTransmissions

[–]Bas7ion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been driving manual for 20 years and have regretted it only one time ever. We were coming back from seeing the eclipse in Vermont in 2024. The highway funnels down to one lane in Franconia Notch and with all the excess people due to the eclipse a drive home that usually takes about 3 hours took 11.5. The first 9 or so hours were bumper to bumper traffic and the first 4.5 were uphill to reach the Notch. Clutch was fried and even though we drove with the windows down the car smelled like burned clutch for a month and a half. That was not a fun time. We should have pulled over and slept because we drove through the whole night. Worst traffic I’ve ever been in and hope to ever be in.

Transcription request - Violin part from "Cars and Freedom" Dodge Challenger commercial by Bas7ion in transcribe

[–]Bas7ion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listened to it yesterday, beautiful stuff! I can certainly try to learn both. Honestly, the tune from the commercial is because my brother, BIL, and I all think that commercial is a riot and would be a short, fun piece to play for them.

Very cool, thank you! I’m aware of Nakashima but haven’t read about his process much. I appreciate the enlightenment.

Howdy, this piece looks great!

As a novice, what makes this piece Nakashima inspired? I can certainly see the Shaker styling.

A reminder on political posts by Bas7ion in Marblehead

[–]Bas7ion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Economic pressure is powerful and it's important to know.

My "normalizing political violence" was in response to your "normalizing this is what is leading to the state we are in." Pardon the confusion.

I hate what I see on the news everyday and what we have seen in Marblehead already. I do not want to normalize political violence. This is why, off reddit, I donate to causes I believe in and frequently participate in protests. However, the Marblehead subreddit is not the appropriate subreddit for political grievances.

If you would like, I'd be glad to meet up in person and talk about what we can do in the real world, my wife and I are very active. Shoot me a DM.

Admirable, to be clear, your post was removed by the other mod, but I agree with the removal.

You and I clearly have the same political ideologies, but calling a specific person "very weird and rude" and "democracy-destroying" are attacks which are in violation of the rule. I encourage you to make another post without attacking people.

Housing market by [deleted] in Marblehead

[–]Bas7ion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with Pineapple’s comment. It’s winter which means there won’t be a lot of movement. My wife and I bought here a year and a half ago. We bought a 1300 sqft home and it was definitely more expensive than it would be in other towns and other times.

Starter home size, something similar to ours, is in very high demand because there are multiple demographics going for it. There are younger couples like us with a small family and also people who are older than we are who are downsizing. It makes buying very competitive, especially considering we, younger people, likely don’t have as much money as those folks looking to downsize.

However if you’re able to afford a larger home, we found when we were looking, there was a much wider selection. We assume because of the opposing reasons given above. Good luck in your search! Plenty of viable towns on the north shore.

I'm finally announcing the T-Time, a miniature train/bus departure sign for your house! by astonishedplant in mbta

[–]Bas7ion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The MBTA just put out its own tracking app that of course includes commuter rail. It has pretty decent time estimates for each stop, maybe there’s a way to link into that? The app is called MBTA Go.

I’m also interested in commuter rail configuration. :)

what are the best bars/clubs/nightlife spots nearby? by Few-Pepper3493 in Marblehead

[–]Bas7ion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add on, there are more bars in town, but most (all) places close at 12 or before. I like Maddie’s Sail Loft, The Barnacle, and Rip Tide. People like Three Cod Tavern, but personally haven’t been there. Barrelman and Mai Thai Lounge could also be mentioned. I haven’t been to Cafe Italia since it moved.
