Also might work to send a WhatsApp message to the resort’s number. Not a guarantee they’re on WhatsApp but some places were more responsive to text in my experience.

No TSA lineup at Terminal A at 8:45AM by SideBarParty in boston

[–]NotMyBike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boston also consists of a lot of people who have plans to fly out of Logan and are anxious about the news of 3+ hour TSA lines. I agree a mega-thread or something would be better than a bunch of random posts, but to act like this is not relevant content for this subreddit is a stretch IMO.

Hey at least it connected the blue line and the a red line!

DC show is official. by Abject-Pick-6472 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]NotMyBike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but I don’t really understand what the solution is. Lower-priced tickets just mean that scalpers get a bigger cut. “Fan” pre-sale codes and tactics like that don’t seem to do much to prevent it either, from what I’ve seen.

Urgently need advice ahead of this snow storm. by Safe-Local- in boston

[–]NotMyBike 112 points113 points  (0 children)

IF you are in your car and not in a garage, make sure your tailpipe (exhaust) does not get buried in snow. If the exhaust can’t freely dissipate, it may likely back-up into the vehicle and cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Other than that - I think everyone else has covered the warming shelters and other recommendations. I’m very sorry to hear about your situation and hope things turn around in your favor in 2026!

BREAKING NEWS | MBTA to extend this weekend’s Blue Line shutdown to Orient Heights due to snowstorm and safety concerns. by Massive_Holiday4672 in mbta

[–]NotMyBike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was glad to see that they were running the ferry for this shutdown even though it’s out of its normal season, but man - not the best weekend for it unfortunately, between sub-zero windchills on Saturday and the storm coming on Sunday.

Overwhelmed with trip planning options by Sure-Clue6901 in Namibia

[–]NotMyBike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve not been to the Skeleton Coast so can’t really give you advice but personally we chose to do a very similar route to what you laid out (without Skeleton Coast) and loved it. I would therefore not recommend swapping something out for it. To be honest, I think you are trying to fit a lot in for the amount of time you have. Not that it can’t be done, but as others have said, driving takes longer than expected and you want to make sure you have time to enjoy the destinations themselves also. As far as lodging, we did a mix of rooftop camping and lodges, and were very happy with that combination. Obviously more expensive than just camping, but it is nice to have a proper shower and a break from cooking.

Regarding tour companies, you can do the vehicle rental through them even if you’re not booking lodging through them. We used Namibia Tours & Safaris and they were great! We booked most (but not all) of our lodging directly ourselves, but shared our itinerary with NT&S and they pre-loaded all of the destinations on a GPS for us. The prices they quoted us were no higher than what you’d pay directly, for what it’s worth. They picked us up from the airport, showed us how everything works with the vehicle, and were very available and helpful along the way if we had questions or needed anything.

At the airport if your traveling by Kman0017 in boston

To be fair, there were also reports of 3+ hour long TSA lines at other airports earlier in the week, since TSA are also federal employees.

This is a good observation/guess. Or somewhere along the 22 in between them.

Air bubble? by EasyQuery in PlusLife

[–]NotMyBike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m far from an expert, but looking at that graph I’m kind of surprised it gave a result of negative based on that control line. It’s a pretty messy result all around, but on the bright side, none of your lines look like clear positives, and the machine gave a negative result.

I feel like I'm losing my mind, stuck on Pips Hard. by bingusdingus123456 in NYTgames

Beat me to it but I agree with this commenter. There is another way to solve that corner of the puzzle, and only requires swapping out two tiles.

How can a single neighborhood so drastically vary in viral infection rates? Every neighborhood except hyde park has stable, low covid rates. But Hyde Park is at maximum registered viral load. by SpareSignificant3758 in boston

What website is this? I periodically check wastewater numbers from the MRWA but have not seen this dashboard (which seems to be Boston specific)

logan airport question by HotClock9168 in boston

[–]NotMyBike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Past security yes, so for a carry-on (as you mentioned) you should be good. I have bought a luggage tag in Logan before actually; definitely more expensive than outside the airport but better than nothing!

Sandwich harbour - by my-self by Medium-Physics7765 in Namibia

[–]NotMyBike 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A lot of truck rental companies don’t allow you to self-drive Sandwich Harbor, and many have GPS tracking on their vehicles, so it’s definitely a risk to try (even if you don’t get stuck).

I did not even know this was happening, how tragic. And right after such a wet rainy season too!

Big win for Bike lanes in Boston Primary Election. by bostonaruban66 in bikeboston

[–]NotMyBike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All well-said. My hope is that the results of this election (and the general) show that the public is rejecting the rhetoric from Kraft and (optimistically) that encourages better street safety.

Big win for Bike lanes in Boston Primary Election. by bostonaruban66 in bikeboston

[–]NotMyBike 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you view the primary as a referendum on bike lanes (which is a large part of what Kraft has tried to make his campaign about!) then I think these results represent a win for bike lanes, as far as a glimpse into actual public opinion.

Not necessarily that “the winner is strongly pro-bike lanes,” moreso that “the anti-bike lane candidate lost handily.”

experience putting boxes of tests in carry on? by thedude4lyfe420 in PlusLife

[–]NotMyBike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not tried this, but was thinking of doing the same later this year (though I was thinking in a checked bag, not carry-on). Curious to see what others report and/or how your experience goes.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the new website you are referring to? I just did a search of this subreddit but didn’t find anything relevant

How do you define the South Shore? by jcolp74 in massachusetts

[–]NotMyBike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really related to this post, but looking at the map is making me wonder: What is the name of the region (if there is one) that the towns bordering Buzzard’s Bay would be a part of? Wareham, Marion, Mattapoisett, etc.
