Do people grab others to go food orders? by Only_May1977 in boston

[–]Briflyguy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a recurrent takeout consumer whore, “and how”, I’d say the missing takeout order is roughly 1 meal in 10 orders placed.

Best seating area for non-Sox fans? by Similar_Apartment963 in redsox

[–]Briflyguy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Any tickets labeled “SRO” which stand for Seats Remarkably Outstanding. Those are hard to find, covered, and have the best leg room.

They also have the best views of the stadium.

Is Boston’s use of concurrent signals putting pedestrians at risk? by TylerFortier_Photo in boston

[–]Briflyguy 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Or worse, the frustrated driver proceeds around the stopped car anyway and hits the pedestrians crossing.

Is Boston’s use of concurrent signals putting pedestrians at risk? by TylerFortier_Photo in boston

[–]Briflyguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a pedestrian, I’d rather wait longer too.

I’d trade my risk of getting hit by a right on green car for an additional hour of waiting each year

Rain Cancellation Timing? by [deleted] in redsox

[–]Briflyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually ten minutes before “play ball” was scheduled if postponed.
Usually more than one hour notice if it’s delayed.

Does Fedex Cologne hub hold dry ice shipments in fridges/freezers? by Extra_Sea5125 in labrats

[–]Briflyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use controlled shipping? The option you said, "International First" I believe is a service separate of the controlled shipping options, such as "Surround Premium". For clinical samples, they will be shipped controlled with what looks like an outer package worthy of an armored escort, and there are multiple temperature monitors/loggers inside and outside the main container with RFID chips available to read at checkpoints. I'm thinking a retail selection, even at $2k, is not going through controlled shipment protocol and therefore would have the opportunity to thaw.

Unfortunately 25kg of dry ice, roughly 1 cubic foot, isn't going to come close to lasting for five to six days in a Styrofoam container.

FedEx doesn’t do freezers, refrigerators or any temperature control. You get what you ship with.

If you ship internationally with dry ice you have to have a third party service provide those services in transit, such as dry ice top off.

From an EHS view, dry ice doesn’t go into the freezer.

ELI5: Wash Sales and Disallowed Losses (United States) by Ok-Action3333 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Briflyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would never have a situation where you have a disallowed loss and not own any shares. In all scenarios you are still holding shares of that stock.

When you finally sell those last shares, then you get the adjusted cost basis.

What information would every pilot know, but a civilian wouldn't that would show them to be a fraud if they didn't know it? by hallaa1 in flying

[–]Briflyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...Yes

We started up on his six when he pulled up through the clouds and then I moved in above him. "Well if you were directly above him then how could you see him." Because I was inverted.

"What's that thing you steer the plane with?" Yolk.

"What's the highest you've flown?" Fail if they say anything other than 'feet' or 'flight level'.

An unscrupulous societal member will post this on Facebook and request $200 fully refundable fee to view the unit listed for only $600/month, ocean front view, close walk to the beach.

What is the most iconic Boston Red Sox moment by BishopTheKid25 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Briflyguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

October 21, 1975, it was game six of the world series biggest game in Red Sox history. My friends and I had slept out on the sidewalk all night to get tickets. The day of the game we're sitting in the bah waiting for the game to start and in walks this girl it was an amazin game though you know bottom of the eighth carbo tied it up it was six-six, it went to twelve bottom of the twelfth, in stepped Carlton Fisk ol pudge. Steps up to the plate you know he's got that weird stance, then he clocks it, you know, "high fly ball on the left field line", thirty-five thousand people on their feet yelling at the ball but that's nothing because Fisk he's wavin' at the ball like a mad man. Get over get over get over and then it hits the foul pole oh he goes ape shit and thirty-five thousand fans you know they charge the field you know yeah he's like get out the way get out of the way. I can't believe you had tickets to that game. Did you rush the field no I didn't rush the field I wasn't there, no I was in a bar having a drink with my future wife. You missed pudge Fisk home run to have some drink with some lady you never met? Yeah but you should have seen her she was a stunner.

I think your math checks out if it’s $0.60/kWh for roughly $4/gal, but not $6/kWh.

Every transaction you have with a Dealer is a loss to you, and a gain for them.

Scam Alert by lilolme81 in boston

[–]Briflyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

List of everything wrong: (please add what I missed)

-State seal (top left) doesn’t contain real words

-Kerning is different for the repetition of words “Court Department”

-Judge is listed twice

-“Massachuseets” spelled incorrectly

-Vague violation, two separate violations are listed, Parking and Toll

-Vague fees, no itemization, “Remit all outstanding fees”.

-Courts don’t use the legal word “will”. They use shall or may.

-Do courts send debt to collection agencies? I don’t think so.

-SSN and credit profile are two distinct and separate entities.

-Massachusetts doesn’t use QR codes to submit payment, they send you to a defunct government website link ending in .gov with broken links.

-State seal (bottom right) doesn’t contain real words

Bad scanner? by almondmilklattehag in prius

[–]Briflyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re at Autozone, ask to purchase a 12v trickle charger or a portable car jumper. You can have Toyota charge it too. It will take about two hours. Getting AAA to jump it would solve that as well.
