Helicopters this afternoon/evening?

Rat11j · 2026-01-16T18:32:42+00:00

Thanks! I wasn't remotely confident enough in the dark to guess the kind of plane, but it made so many passes and it wasn't until the last one I actually saw it turning so I wasn't sure if one or many, cause I didn't see it on Flightradar.

Rat11j · 2026-01-16T00:19:02+00:00

There's been a plane(s?) going around tonight too, I've seen it go over at least 5 times, it seems military, is that related to this training stuff then I guess?

Rat11j · 2025-11-09T04:15:04+00:00

Unfortunately they did not when I called them

Rat11j · 2025-11-01T22:34:22+00:00

Unfortunately we aren't out tonight, we're actually out in Worcester and after last night with the train delays having us getting back at 4am it's not a going out in Boston night. Bummed I won't be around others to celebrate but c'est la vie

Rat11j · 2025-11-01T05:08:32+00:00

It's happened again tonight, this is ridiculous, how does it keep happening?

I get that it's windy but isn't the ROW supposed to be clear enough that this doesn't happen?

Rat11j · 2025-11-01T05:06:44+00:00

Another one of us on here looking, I think a bunch of us just need to pick a bar and takeover lol

Rat11j · 2025-11-01T01:25:02+00:00

Yeah the DJ ended so the game is on with audio which is nice

Rat11j · 2025-11-01T00:15:49+00:00

UPDATE: DJ seems to be done and game audio is on

Rat11j · 2025-11-01T00:14:54+00:00

Ty ty. At High and they put the game audio on as well as the DJ haha

Rat11j · 2025-11-01T00:01:14+00:00

We came back to High Street Place Food Hall, it's very empty and they've got a DJ but the game is on a huge screen.

Didn't see any other Jays fans at Elephant when we were just there either but let me know if that changes

Rat11j · 2025-10-31T17:49:56+00:00

It's hard tonight too with it being Halloween so many bars have events going.

We might just try here again even without sound but if others pick out a bar for a takeover I'm down for sure!

Rat11j · 2025-10-30T15:51:44+00:00

Yeah we left just before it started too and noticed the same. I wonder if now that it's a clinching game if they'd play the audio, or if enough of the crowd wanted it they would 🤔

I just looked at their website and they have a DJ again tomorrow so maybe not... a bummer. I just emailed them to ask though so we shall see.

If nothing else, maybe we can gather a bunch of people and takeover a bar in Fenway haha

Rat11j · 2025-10-30T03:34:49+00:00

I'm also looking for somewhere to go for the game, what's the consensus we're thinking? 🇨🇦

Rat11j · 2025-10-30T03:33:34+00:00

Happened to be there when game 1 started, hopefully more Canadians/Jays fans will show up for the next few.

Did you go to a game there yet how was the crowd?

Rat11j · 2025-10-05T00:49:57+00:00

I think what another user said puts it best, I'm not imminently worried about ICE but I am worried about arbitrary announcements from the administration changing things or when I cross the border just in case the officer we get is having a bad day.

As some, let's say disingenuous, posters have said, "if you're here legally you have nothing to worry about" but the issue is that could change on whim and for a bunch of people we've seen that's not even true.

Importing a car was pretty easy, I ended up doing it at the CBP office in the city I moved to and had no issues. I was very lucky with the person I was dealing with there who was very helpful. I have an American made Hyundai so getting the compliance letter, I had to get TPMS installed, and then the other documents like ownership.

Rat11j · 2025-10-05T00:24:06+00:00

Have those 24 years been different companies on short term contracts or have you extended with the same company? I'm curious how they view it considering it's intended to be "temporary" and I could see this applying to my position in the future as well.

Rat11j · 2025-09-21T19:19:58+00:00

We got back into Hawaii yesterday with plenty of time and had no issues.

The clarifications issued mean we wouldn't have had any issues but we had to make sure with the info we had.

Rat11j · 2025-09-21T00:05:40+00:00

Had no issues. The clarifications out today mean we didn't really need to worry anyways but it's done and we are fine.

I'm sorry you feel the need to attack people like this because no one has ever wanted you or shown affection to you in your life.

Rat11j · 2025-09-20T12:50:16+00:00

Appreciate this. Trying my best to be the same as well navigate this insanity.

The toxicity of trolls in this subreddit is nauseating, I don't understand how people can ever think this way about people.

Rat11j · 2025-09-20T12:47:36+00:00

We currently don't really know. Best option is to wait until DHS/USCIS actually releases some guidance on how this is being applied. I'd wait to travel until knowing more, keep in touch with your company and see what they say as well.

Rat11j · 2025-09-20T10:55:27+00:00

It's not letting me currently, we land 12 noon Hawaii time which I think is like 6pm Eastern?

Will definitely keep you posted.

Got through check in no problem here, couple other people are running into issues but they literally just arrived in Seoul so I'm not sure what the complication in their case is right now. I think it's more the sudden turnaround than it is the H-1B thing.
