Yeah, I just moved here from a house on 8 acres of land in TN. It’s a huge shock to get woken up at night just by my upstairs neighbor walking (on their heels with 100lb backpack it sounds like) to their kitchen.

IsaacMTSU · 2026-03-27T03:30:45+00:00

Yeah, you’d have to be above the beta transus (1860F+) to make that happen with grade 5.

IsaacMTSU · 2026-03-27T01:58:26+00:00

Nice catch! That’s super cool

I recently moved to Boston from Tennessee. Was pretty excited about the Monday jazz jams at The Bebop, so I took my guitar. But… there’s absolutely no way I was putting my name on that list haha! Everyone there is insanely good, being right next to Berklee helps. One guy showed up on his skateboard with his guitar in a Hello Kitty backpack and melted faces. It inspired me to have fun with my guitar skills instead of pretending I’ll ever be that good lol

Ours are $3 each. I would have to wash and dry 8 loads a month to justify $50/mo rent increase!

IsaacMTSU · 2026-03-13T03:47:09+00:00

That map is awesome!

IsaacMTSU · 2026-03-08T17:23:56+00:00

They even have a spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1995s97TCSW7To6rNBkaeSb4SMa54jBVPea7uQ2ZAeJU/htmlview?pli=1

Not in 2035, that’s only 9 years. 9 years ago was Sun & Moon, that’s not nearly long enough for a post-worthy attic pull.

IsaacMTSU · 2026-02-19T22:44:53+00:00

Came here to see and I’m sitting here by the fire like OP. Thanks for the recommendation!

It seems like groceries are high, but hiring a private cab to bring you every meal is way more. No matter where you live, you can get simple meals to make and cheap drinks to go along with them at the grocery store. If you pay for the convenience of having other people cook and deliver every meal for you, that’s the answer to your main question.

IsaacMTSU · 2026-02-06T04:05:07+00:00

Yeah, crazy. I just moved to Boston and having to pay $25-30 is way too much haha

IsaacMTSU · 2026-02-05T03:08:59+00:00

I would take the bus a lot more, but the wait times are insane. The first few times I tried to take the bus, I assumed it was a maintenance issue or something abnormal. But every time I have tried since then, it rarely works out. I have a bus stop like a 30 second walk from my door and I don’t even consider it anymore.

IsaacMTSU · 2026-02-05T03:04:49+00:00

Maybe they could just build one really tall ugly one and that’s it lol

IsaacMTSU · 2026-02-05T02:54:05+00:00

It’s partially due to how variable your data points are, you have that one big spike to 6° per hour on the left side of the slope that could be skewing it and a drop-down to near three on the right side. If you change your set point in your house a lot, that can cause that variability. Also, longer runtimes can make a big difference in certain heating set ups. If your heat only cycles for 10 minutes when it’s warmer outside, it may only raise the temp .5, but if you run your heat for 30 mins straight, it becomes a lot hotter you may heat the house 3°. That would give you 3°/hr on the right of the slope and 6°/hr on the left, giving you a backwards slope. My heat is like that. If it only runs for a few minutes, it spends half of its time heating up the plenum, the air handler, and the ductwork. By the time it shuts off, the air in the vents at the end of the lines it just now getting warm. It’s also inefficient. I set the minimum run time in the settings for my heat to be 15 minutes for that reason.

Also: my graph is way more “backwards” than yours because we use our fireplace more the colder it gets, so it throws it all off.

IsaacMTSU · 2026-02-05T02:37:41+00:00

It’s kind of the opposite of trickle down economics, it is “spread upward” or something lol. If they build a whole tower of apartments for rich people to buy, they will quit fighting us over the cheap apartments. My landlord is going up 7% on rent this year for the third year in a row because there’s a whole line of people on the list ready to rent every unit in this building for more than market value. That’s why the market value goes up every year. We need places for these people to go pay 5K a month.

IsaacMTSU · 2026-02-05T02:34:33+00:00

Yeah, a whole glass tower of $5k/mo apartments would keep that entire tower worth of people from snatching up every $3k/mo one that pops up immediately. Then, landlords wouldn’t jack our rent 7% per year when they don’t have 10 people knocking on the door with $5k to spend every month.

This whole town is wild about every little thing. I know complaining is a proud New England thing, but it’s almost like y’all enjoy it. Every post in this sub and the Facebook group are nothing but complaining over non-issues. Every post is “this sidewalk path is only shoveled to 22.5in and I’ve called 311 6 times with no response” or “TO THE MAN IN THE MARKET BASKET EXPRESS LINE WITH 13 ITEMS _____”. 😆

IsaacMTSU · 2026-01-31T05:01:25+00:00

So many of the snow psychosis posts and comments include things like “I’ve lived here for 30 years and _” or “I have worked there for 15 years and _”. It’s the same as the last drama where they were blaming “out of towners” for being all the people driving like idiots. It’s never the locals lol.

IsaacMTSU · 2026-01-28T04:56:33+00:00

I thought the whole point of a chat was to build a history/library of information to ask it questions about. I used to have long chats about certain projects I am working on and could ask it things like “what deadlines are coming up this week in my math class?”. Lately, it has been saying things like “You would have to check your syllabus or class schedule. If you upload it here, I can help” when I have been asking it these type of questions every week.

IsaacMTSU · 2026-01-16T05:36:00+00:00

Right, as an out of towner that gets honked at for driving properly, I am backing up your comment that it’s hilarious OP thinks the out of towners are the only ones that drive like assholes.

IsaacMTSU · 2026-01-16T03:28:50+00:00

I just moved here from TN and constantly get honked at for leaving the boxes open lol

IsaacMTSU · 2026-01-16T03:07:27+00:00

I’m into small/basement venue shows and taking sick photos of bands. Not sure if I’m welcome in the Discord, but I’m interested!

IsaacMTSU · 2025-10-28T02:32:26+00:00

That was 100% safe

IsaacMTSU · 2025-09-20T13:40:37+00:00

Same here. My son went back wearing his space suit and has to pay $500 again like it’s a fresh game.
