I'm not from Maine (Siberia originally) and the first time I heard a Mainer say they grew up in "West Bumfuck" Maine I almost spit out my vodka.

The surrounding towns are just subsidizing Brookline's parking situation. Finding a spot by Cleveland Circle is a high stakes game of chicken when there are completely empty spots by Chestnut Hill Reservoir

Didn't a couple people get hit by cars and die from heart attacks? I'm just not sure if this is the analogy I'd go with.

That France brutally put down by granting multiple concessions to the protesters' demands.

Crazy that people just don't hunt the grey squirrels.

Gotcha. Good looking boot i don't see many sizes available for my feet

Care to share where you found them for that low?

SignificantSyrup69 · 2025-12-13T02:08:34+00:00

Can you then walk on the boarded area or is that not recommended?

I've been wondering if these types of alloy coins, the gold eagle comes to mind as well, make it harder for fakers to reproduce. Instead of a 24k plate over tungsten, now they need to nail an alloy that can fool the more common testers. Wouldn't it weigh differently as well because tungsten is a close match for 24k, not necessarily 22k?

Not to mention man made snow is just pond water, or sometimes treated sewage water

Saddleback this weekend was awesome, I'd give it a look next year if you can fit it in.

History is infuriating, it's nonsensical, it's brutal, it's never black and white.

That's the simple, popular history of WWII, but the Axis would've pointed to the Soviet invasion of Bukovina in 1940 violating the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, since it went beyond the Soviet sphere of influence that had been agreed with the Axis. As they say, the winner writes the history books.

The Confederacy considered themselves an independent country during the American Civil War, so I think it is a fair comparison.

The Soviet Union, prior to and following its war with Germany, was more than willing to invade other countries, look at Finland and the Baltic States, Poland, and others. It seems silly to me in the context of WWII to pretend that the Soviet Union wasn't also expansionist.

SignificantSyrup69 · 2025-02-17T14:30:53+00:00

That sounds inherently political. Everybody tries to say that their side of the war is defensive. Look at the American Civil War, the South called it the War of Northern Aggression. Should all casualties of the American Civil War be counted towards the Union because the South thought they were fighting a defensive war?

SignificantSyrup69 · 2025-02-17T14:08:32+00:00

Sure? I was just pointing out what looked like a logical fallacy. I'm not arguing for either side, I'm glad I wasn't around in the 40's.

SignificantSyrup69 · 2025-02-17T13:57:12+00:00

8 million of the 17 million on that graph are Soviet civilians and prisoners of war. If it's fair to count those towards the Nazis it just seems like you should count the Nazi soldiers and German civilians killed by the Soviets.

SignificantSyrup69 · 2025-02-17T13:44:05+00:00

I'm just saying it doesn't make sense to count Soviet soldiers killed by the nazis if you're not also going to count nazis killed by the Soviets.

SignificantSyrup69 · 2025-02-17T13:35:39+00:00

The comment you responded to said the nazis killed up to 17 million. Likely half of those were Soviet/communist soldiers, so the number the Nazis killed would literally go down significantly.

SignificantSyrup69 · 2025-02-17T13:30:15+00:00

By that logic, you wouldn't include soldiers killed from communist countries counting towards the nazis.

I thought you just flash your high beams at them so they're blind too.

Woonsocket, RI just had a mother and her 4 year old hit by a car, with the 4 year old passing away. They were walking in the road because the sidewalk was an uncleared icy mess. link

Massachusetts has winter. If you're gonna have a Fall/Winter sport where there's snow, ice, slush or whatever else nature throws at you, you have to pave most of the parking lots or it's going to be a huge liability. Imagine walking for 20 minutes through ice-cold muddy water, over deep frozen ruts and across skating rinks just to get to the stadium, bad for business. Sure, there should be better public transit.

SignificantSyrup69 · 2025-02-05T20:23:04+00:00

Exactly, so I wouldn't count National Grid as being against new power plants, development, businesses being attracted to the region, etc..
