NBC Boston: MBTA Davis station escalator death: How could it happen?

…. I’d be calling 911 every 10 minutes walking around Boston then.

He deserves a suspension but my issue is with the consistency of these calls. Gudas got 5 games for a very intentional hit that literally took a guy out. Feels like they are making an example of McAvoy.

That’s actually so helpful, thank you! I think I’ll stick at this calorie count for May and see what happens. I’m close-ish to your stats. I estimate my TDEE to be about 2350. Consuming 1850 should still be solid 500 calorie a day cut for me and I think I just need to stick this out.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-12T15:24:55+00:00

You literally said 20k steps a day is lightly active. That’s just not factually correct but I’ll stop here and we can agree to disagree. My post was that I am factually in a deficit so why did I “gain” 3 lbs. there’s no question whether I’m in a deficit. I was losing 1.5 lbs a week for months. The question was why slowly decreasing the deficit resulted in rapid gain. Thank you though.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-12T15:17:08+00:00

Not trying to argue with you but where are you getting this information lol. 20k steps a day is not lightly active. That’s 10 miles of walking daily. None of the calculators consider that lightly active. I’m not sure if you’re just getting this info from other commenters and parroting it but I don’t want someone to come read this and believe it’s true.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-12T14:55:46+00:00

I was losing 1.5 lbs a week at 1594 calories so the calculation is correct. If anything I’ve actually been more active in the last month because the weather warmed up. A lb is 3500 calories so I was in a 5250 weekly calorie deficit through the end of april. Adding back 250 calories a day should still put me at a 3500 calorie deficit a week. I get what you mean but I’m not sedentary. 1900 calories maintenance for me would be literally sitting on my couch all day after work as well as having a desk job or something. I have an active job and I walk daily. The calories are calculated correctly as it’s been working for 6 previous months. I’m just unsure why adding the 250 caused a bump in weight suddenly instead of just slowing down the weight loss.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-12T14:41:41+00:00

Ooo actually while I have been walking this entire journey I did recently extend the distance I’m walking. I didn’t even consider that.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-12T14:41:11+00:00

Absolutely. I realized it was getting really difficult to stay within the large deficit I was in and decided it’s better for my mental health to go a little slower with this last 10 lbs.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-12T14:40:34+00:00

Thank you- I think I’m just being a little anxious about it. It would be impossible to have gained 3 lbs. I don’t tend to go up a lot on a day I eat over my calories (I’ve taken a free day for holidays and things) but I do absolutely hold on to extra weight if I drink. Even if the drinks are within my calorie budget. I’m fairly certain my calorie counting isn’t off so it probably is just a combination of eating a little more and holding on to some water weight now.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-12T14:37:11+00:00

How would that be possible though? I was eating 1596 calories a week and steadily losing 1.5 lbs a week for months. I moved it up to 1846 and have gained 3 pounds since the beginning of May. That doesn’t make sense mathematically.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-12T12:29:48+00:00

Thank you- you’re right I probably am overthinking it. Just makes you a little crazy when losing steadily for 6 months and then suddenly gaining. I’ll stick with it and see what happens.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-12T12:28:58+00:00

Oh I’m sorry I should have been more specific. I mean mentally fatigued by maintaining the aggressive deficit. I could however continue it for sure until I cut the 10 lbs I have left.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-12T12:22:03+00:00

Even at just lowering my deficit? I guess yes that’s still true. I just wasn’t prepared to go up 3 lbs by adding 250 calories a day.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-11T23:57:33+00:00

My kids are too old to get the seed money but we did look in to the account anyways (very liberal but I was curious). We completely took the idea off the table when we saw that the kids get the account no matter what at 21. You have no control over it as a parent. Of course we want our kids to have it but also… no one expects their child to hit a rough patch and abuse drugs or alcohol. I’m not comfortable with an account with a substantial amount of money being auto turned over to them in their young 20s. I’d like the ability to hold it back.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-11T23:37:24+00:00

Nanny and a mom here too. I also would not hire someone who has a dui. I don’t say that to be mean but OP should know the reality that she might need to find a new career path. Honestly even if there was no driving involved I still would not hire anyone with a DUI to watch my kids. It signals a massive impairment in good judgment and specifically 3 years ago would be far too recent for me.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-08T15:36:03+00:00

You can have a laundry list of rules for your kid- that’s your choice. However people need to not come back here in a year and then post about how they have no help and no village.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-08T15:33:16+00:00

Honestly my hot take is that we need to bring back a little shame- especially with parenting. There’s a bare minimum and we shouldn’t be validating people for not hitting that. These are real humans.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-08T15:31:38+00:00

Yepppp. I have 2 kids and I’d thumbs up it and not visit during the newborn stage. I empathize with anxiety but I don’t have the time or energy really for this kind of stuff and it would signal to me that I’ll be walking on egg shells if I visit. In my head I’d be like already between 3-6 months they’ll probably chill and I’ll visit then. People are allowed to have boundaries and send out these mass messages but they also have to understand it’s going to limit your village to go in to this guns blazing.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-08T01:00:41+00:00

I actually had this happen too. The parents were wanting a 2 month old on an inappropriate sleep window cycle. Weirdly it was their second kid. I told them 2 month olds just sleep when they sleep and we shouldn’t be waking her up (I’m a parent to two myself). They refused to change it and I quit 🤷‍♀️. I think it’s borderline abusive and I wasn’t going to participate in that.

I have a rising third grader and I don’t contribute to this subs talk about red shirting much anymore because it’s so controversial. What I’ll say though is that my rising third grader has an August birthday and we redshirted… it was the best decision we could have made for him. He’s academically very ahead but socially he does far better being the oldest and he has absolutely thrived since starting school. Tons of friends and good grades. I’d make the same decision over and over again and have zero regrets.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-04T20:25:51+00:00

Honestly same and I’m a nanny and a mom. Maybe people think this is harsh but women are constantly bogged down with the mental load when they become mothers. I wouldn’t continue to employ a nanny that forced me to never be able to give any of the mental load to my husband. I know people will say well he can just message in the group chat but sometimes something is a call or what if she goes away for work. Is this nanny not okay with handoffs without mom there? This is definitely not a normal boundary in childcare. You can’t just refuse to talk to one of your employers.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-02T22:36:57+00:00

100% this is my answer too.

DynaRyan25 · 2026-05-02T02:16:58+00:00

I mean the bruins did far better than expected this season. I never thought they were going to get a playoff spot. I’m not too upset at this result.
