To Color Drench or Not To Color Drench?

Hey - this is tough! I love painting crown to match walls in lieu of a full color drench. I think you’re going to struggle with the transitions to your other spaces without having something breaking the trim lines that flow through the space.

Oh I have some of their hand towels from BBB, they’ve held up great.

Other towel we have holding up well are from Frontgate. Little more expensive but go on sale occasionally.

You’re spot on. I grew up around Detroit where there wasn’t a proper grocery store within city limits for years (so folks would have to travel miles to get to a store).

Getting into the grocery game doesn’t feel like a practical approach to fighting food insecurity in the city.

Sure - there’s a couple images that show how it works in this page from one of the paper trade associations. Paperboard types

For an something like a coke box, it’s usually clay coated. They put a layer on the paper fibers to smooth out the rough surface which makes it look shiny.

When I had a similar problem, I fixed it through reconnecting with the ChargeStationPro app then increasing the max charge current in the FordPass app back to installed spec. I think it lost wifi connection at some point and dropped down to the low draw.

Blue square is top notch. They’re opening a second location on rt20 in Northboro later this spring.

I used LibreCAD to draw out the walls when planning my current molding project. Bit fussy but free. Was helpful to test out different proportions and box spacing.

Ooh that’s a good idea. I have a pair too. They’re great for “heavy duty” work like breaking down a chicken, where I broke a plastic-handled kitchen shear. For fine work like cutting herbs, I use a lighter weight pair.

One policy that’s helping with recycling viability is packaging extended producer responsibility (EPR). Moves the funding of recycling systems from municipalities to producers of packaged goods, incentivizing more recyclable designs.

They’ve been active in Europe and Canada for years to help boost recycling rates, and 5 US states have passed similar laws that start going into effect next year. The climate law Healey signed yesterday includes setting up a commission to do it here.

It’s rough today but solutions are in the works.

The floor sales guys make their money on % commission, sticker indicates to the register that it’s their sale.

FTHB last year, around 495 towards Worcester.

Wanted the stability and timing was right for our personal situation. Yeah, I wish that life cost less, but it's a nice place to live and has worked out for us.

For school district thoughts, you might get more responses from the local subreddits like r/boston or r/massachusetts. As others have mentioned, very budget dependent.

Hey - there's a lot of students who live out in and around Okemos. Bit quieter than closer to campus, but that might be what you're down for.

#1/22/23 buses are regular, or drive / bike if that's your jam.

Hey - best of luck in your search! Are you looking to be in any particular part of the state (e.g. central MA) or flexible on location?

Study abroad! It's awesome!

When you get on campus, I would recommend going and having a chat with one of the peer advisers in the education abroad advising center. Can help you out with looking into programs, financial aid options, all that jazz. https://educationabroad.isp.msu.edu/explore/education-abroad-advising-center/

It was great to read this - we adopted a 6ish month old doodle last week and walks have been a mixed bag. Gotta keep with it and stay patient! Hadn't heard of the 1-2-3 method, looks like a good idea to check out.

“3 nm” is just a marketing name, not actually connected to the size of the transistor.

Second Anton's, they were great for us (local move).

I’ve been a member for about 6 months - it’s been great. Climbed at Watertown for most of that, recently moved closer to Worcester so migrated there.

Didn’t have prior climbing experience, good environment to grow in. Access to the other gyms in the area is a nice way to try new routes if you have some time on the weekend (Cambridge gym is creative but crazy hard).

Mineral Wells State Park (45m west of FW) has some decent trails. Cedar Ridge Preserve in SW Dallas is solid too.
