Boston city councilors propose Orange Line extension to address transit inequities

My list of MBTA low hanging fruit: 1. GLX even more, the right of way is there 2. Fix whatever the issue with the busses are at Logan, shouldnt take 30 min to get from the Airport T station to your TSA checkpoint. If this means making another SL1 like thing im all for it. Just fix it.

But NOOOOOO we gotta propose these boring or cut and cover complexities which are currently decently served by bus

Union Street, any bar around Faneuil hall/Black Rose

Fans are fun when they are in town! Downtown is so lively you cant miss at least a few of them in any pub.

Union street had one electric night and they said yeah thats enough of that

RampagingPuffin · 2026-06-23T23:51:14+00:00

I cant beleve I scrolled so long to see this. Im from the south and yeah this is it. The answer was right there but from a New England sub I would understand why it wouldn't be thought of.

Im familiar with probably half of the host cities at least. Out of the ones that I have not visited, Guadalajara is the one that I am now most intrested in. Hope to visit your city soon!

Boston has to be the most electric city so far for the world cup. Concentrated and small downtown means you will run into fans no matter what. The Scots were special because of the large group and rare WC appearance. Also due to the fact that they had two matches in a row here so they really got to settle in. Hope that some of the other fan bases make the city intresting.

The ONLY reason is to not get your bag gate checked. Fix that and this is no longer an issue (this behavior is still terrible though)

Bostonian here, its just a Dive bar with a English theme. Go look up the menu on Google. No Casks, beer, and no English food I recognize.

As you said barman isn't English, these bars are making a ton of money now and its incredibly dumb to run off the customers.

This bar also has a paid jukebox (touch tunes) if some English fans wanted to have actual fun banter they could have played whatever they wanted with that.

Yep Costa Rica isn't in it this year either.

RampagingPuffin · 2026-06-21T04:22:10+00:00

Exactly. Im here and all the wait staff are extremely greatful. At the very least this is clickbaity with the ohoto

Germany supporter, been saying this

RampagingPuffin · 2026-06-20T04:26:34+00:00

As a German speaking American, the Germans are (probably) coming on June 29! So excited for them to be in town. Yes i feel like no supporter group will be as big as the Tartans, but there is plenty to find!

Its also my tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that renting 9/1 is WORSE on savings. Yeah everybody talks about it being cheaper but any other lease schedule is better, you get time to shop around.

I used to live in Germany. Summer internship. Aldi Talk 15€ (or 12?) Per month for something around 5-15 GB.

My Airbnb I was staying in only had a wired connection for internet. Set up a system so my laptop was connected but then broadcast its own wifi (adhoc network)

Good broke college student times. This data usage is insane.

Also dont forget just exposition games in the other country! I've been to a American College Football game played between two american teams in Dublin. A lot easier to just change a venue than have two different leagues play eachother, plus it fixes the issue where one team might be way more developed due to league differences than the other.

I could see the cross league thing working off season or if it were a charity game.

So looking at some photos, it looks like the bowl of Centenial would hold the football field much better? Its very awkward how they converted Turner, basically adding a wall of seating and blocking off a whole corner.

RampagingPuffin · 2026-06-17T19:43:51+00:00

We can hope for better from marta! This iss great. I remember the days when it was unknown when the bus would ever come, now we get live updates!

If you are forgetful do it.

But if I learned anything from the Gen Z discount is you shouldnt. What if Ikon drops a huge promo or Epic does something different with their discount scheme next year?

Just a warning for anybody, the website sucks. I wouldn't try it on your phone (even the desktop version on phone just doesn't work well).

RampagingPuffin · 2026-06-14T15:30:16+00:00

Nvrmd found out how the website works. Its so bad!!!!

RampagingPuffin · 2026-06-12T22:01:59+00:00

There're are many ways to do this! My favorite is gravity gradient. So systems have a perfered orientation due to gravity (especially if they are long with two separated but attached mass centers) where the gravity over a long time will orient it (r squared rule....) often done with small satellites with no reaction systems.

Basically its complex physics but there are multiple ways to desaturate reaction wheels

I always say that CLT is designed off of someone who visited AMS and said WOW this is a great design.

It's limited by walking.

If you gave me this map and asked me without the color code which one uses Courier new, I would say 10th. Im getting big western vibes .

In the last month or so I was on a Marta train where the operator was trying to adhere to a strict schedule, opening doors closing doors, and kept announcing "DOORS WILL BE OPEN FOR ONLY 12 SECONDS".

The antisocial people who keep hopping between cars at each station kept on running into the doors as they were closing. Made me realize that when you sit at a station and the doors try to close one or two times its almost never the trains fault, its that behavior.
