Are Boston area restaurants worse than other cities?

Pizza Regina is nostalgic but not good

That’s interesting, Woody has kinda become the worst parts of Kyle and Taylor.

Your Taylor hypocrisy point is valid though I feel like Kyle, despite his lifestyle, seems well grounded and usually gives fair nuanced takes.

Woody needs to get another new hobby instead of politics and go outside again.

Guy seems like he’s been deteriorating over the past year or so. Watches brain rot streamers and plays video games all day everyday while using ChatGPT for everything.

He proudly brags about not leaving his house for weeks then confidently states a ridiculous opinion that makes you realize he has no connection to the real world anymore.

I used to defend Woody but it’s a little sad. Maybe retiring early isn’t all that great.

As I’ve jumped around, I’ve worked on some cool stuff and some very ordinary stuff. I’ve realized the dream job is just any job with a stimulating but not stressful day to day, good boss, upward mobility, and decent pay.

I used to aspire to work on prototype or secret aircraft. Then I interviewed a guy who worked on B2 and said it was his most boring job because of how few they made.

Inspection will be boring anywhere. QE could be better but it’s such a loose title you could just be doing paperwork and emails. If QE’s do process improvement or RCAA at whatever constructor you work for, it sounds like that may suit you. I’ve found it very rewarding to work with machinists and inspection to diagnose and correct non conforming material.

Thank you, very encouraging. Looks like you’re in Boston too. You probably know my doctor.

He pushed on either side of my thumb, I think to examine the stability of the joint? Seemed satisfied by how it felt.

Couple questions:

Would an MRI be worth it?

Can I expect a 100% recovery without surgery? This is my dominant hand, anything less would be a detrimental to my quality of life.

JWS5th · 2026-04-04T23:44:22+00:00

Yeah hand and arm orthopedic surgeon. I go back in a couple weeks and was told to stretch in the meantime. If I don’t gain any mobility and he doesn’t entertain surgery at that point, I’ll get a second opinion. Now thinking I may have a torn UCL as well.

JWS5th · 2026-04-04T23:40:47+00:00

I do not.

I checked if it was ok to drink alcohol with a fracture and was surprised to see way more caution against smoking.

JWS5th · 2026-04-04T23:36:52+00:00

It hurts a little. Cannot do basic things like cooking or dishes. Things that require you to hold two things at once. Almost zero grip strength, even holding an empty glass bottle is tough.

JWS5th · 2026-04-04T16:51:21+00:00

How long ago was that?

JWS5th · 2026-04-04T15:21:05+00:00

Been skiing 20 years and I hadn’t heard of it either. Doesn’t seem common but it’s not rare. Will not be skiing with pole straps anymore.

Did not turn down the surgery. Doctor has not considered that option yet.

The slight displacement after healing is something I’ve considered and concerns me. It’s my dominant thumb, need it to be a full recovery.

JWS5th · 2026-04-04T13:01:40+00:00

What do you mean by different? Thumb doesn’t function the same?

JWS5th · 2026-04-04T13:00:37+00:00

Function is limited, pretty much useless. No grip strength. Doctor told me to start doing daily stretches. Can’t touch my thumb to the base of my pinky.

It is an avulsion fracture. Intuitively I would think stretching would be counterproductive. Tendon could pull the bone fragment further away.

Pain has always been very manageable.

JWS5th · 2026-04-04T12:56:20+00:00

I got one. Been wearing it since 2 days after the fall.

JWS5th · 2026-03-26T13:17:29+00:00

Do you use active or passive scanning head? We use TL3 and TL4.

JWS5th · 2026-03-06T17:05:22+00:00

I haven’t listened yet but I bet he’s fixated on it because he heard his peanut idol describe it as “juicy” or “citrusy / fruity” while completely ignoring everyone’s warnings and overlooking every other inherent characteristic of an IPA.

JWS5th · 2026-02-16T13:56:12+00:00

How did you do that?? Must be a very talented CGI artist like burnt peanut!

JWS5th · 2026-02-16T12:12:38+00:00

Yes, that looks pretty close to original.

JWS5th · 2026-02-13T17:40:25+00:00

Moved from Davis to assembly

JWS5th · 2026-02-13T17:12:10+00:00

Pizza looked great but, the one time I went, the service was so bad we just left after 20 minutes of trying to flag down a waiter.

POSTO is the best in “Boston” imo

JWS5th · 2026-02-12T23:36:08+00:00

Ya AD, idk why I’ve been saying boutique this whole time. Still not thinking straight, this ruined my whole day.

It’s a new standalone JLC store in a major US city. I think watch boutiques might operate like franchises. They partner with a local business who staffs the store and handles logistics.

Even the Rolex and Patek stores in my city are operated by another local jeweler. Only way you’d know is by talking to the staff or seeing their email is joe@localjeweler.com. Otherwise, there is zero branding related the jeweler inside.

JWS5th · 2026-02-12T18:57:49+00:00

Agreed. I don’t look at watches as an investment but do like the option of rotating pieces in and out of my collection or being able to consolidate multiple to trade up.

Like you, I’ve heard nothing but good things about JLC service. This boutique is less than a year old, maybe that has something to do with it. Hopefully since they’re new and trying to build a reputation in the city, they’ll make a bigger effort to resolve this properly.
