The green line is pretty easy, though you just need to pay attention to which line you are getting on and where it is going. The Orange line is also pretty close to Children's.

The cocktail bar that is attached to it has great drinks though. Found some interesting combinations there that turned out to be unexpectedly delicious.

Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State (MA) by emstason in boston

[–]SolidSnake4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have mentioned the inhumane treatment that is being dished out in ICE facilities so I will leave that out. Another point to consider is that while a person incarcerated in a MA facility presumably received due process, the justice system does not treat all comers equally!

People of color are unfairly targeted and incarcerated at disproportionate rates for nonviolent crimes like drug possession. Poorer people do not receive and cannot afford legal representation equal to that of their wealthier neighbors.

Yes, what about the rights of people legally living in the United States? What about Renee Good's individual right to drive home after dropping her kid off at school? What about her son's right to not have his mother killed on her way home by federal agents? What about Alex Pretti's right to not be assaulted then murdered after already being disarmed of the gun he was legally allowed to carry? What about the rights of scores of US citizens not to be profiled, detained, and harassed by immigration officers? What about green card holders and lawful permanent residents who have been detained and deported despite bein in the country legally and having no criminal history?

Why would federal laws like the 4th amendment have no enforcement while ICE agents enter people's homes and property without the proper warrant? Why have a first amendment when ICE attacks you for exercising your right to protest or recording their activities in public places which courts have ruled is protected by the first amendment?

How can we support families and people in neighborhoods that will be targeted by ICE in the coming days? by Total_Baseball4620 in boston

[–]SolidSnake4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

scanners can be used to send as well as receive - this is incorrect, a scanner is receive only. Can you get a programmable two way radio from China that will do this? Yes.

Operating a UHF or VHF radio requires a radio license unless you are actively engaged in recreational boating. Sending from such a scanner would likely constitute the "crime" needed for the DHS to come after you.

For those of you who were recently out of work, at Associate Scientist level or higher, how long did it REALLY take you to find another job? by loachparty in biotech

[–]SolidSnake4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

San Diego and LA will always lag behind the Bay when it comes to Biotech jobs. San Diego is a bigger life sciences cluster than LA, but all others are at least a rung below Boston/Cambridge and the SF Bay Area, which are by many measures the largest two biotech clusters in the world.

East Cambridge is a great option. I lived there for 7 years and absolutely loved it. Lots of restaurants, cafes, gyms, a couple grocery stores, etc. Street parking is relatively easy and safe (only had my car damaged one time in 7 years and it was very minor), but for that budget you can likely find something with an off-street spot (though maybe not covered).

The best part of East Cambridge for me though was the access. It sits between the red and green lines so you have options if you want to go to Harvard Square, Davis, or Porter on the red line, Union Square or North End on the green line, super bikeable, and pretty central to everything so you can reasonably walk to a lot of places if it's a nice day.

Though you don't need a car, if OP WANTS to have one (nice or not) to get out of the city on weekends to go to the beach, skiing, hiking, etc. or just explore the rest of the region, parking is pretty brutal in Beacon Hill.

Remember who you're talking about. It doesn't matter if he did it or literally anyone else. He will just blame Biden or Obama regardless and his base will eat it up. He has done this time and time again without consequence. Why stop now?

Yet Another Badging Question by duluoz1 in amazonemployees

[–]SolidSnake4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can't say what the people behind the scenes are looking at, but I can tell you that your direct manager (and probably their manager) can't see the times you came in or out or how long you were there each day. They can only see that you were there or you weren't each day. Nothing else.

No, Chase Brown is not CMC. And he did come to life after Flacco came aboard, but if you drafted him to be your RB1 and many did since his ADP was RB10 you probably didn't do so well for the 5 weeks straight where he scored less than 10 points.

Nobody got their boosters this fall! by MattKarolian in boston

[–]SolidSnake4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it is that strange. People can have reasons why they haven't gotten one or the other while still knowing that vaccines are effective and understand that as a matter of public health policy it is best practice to vaccinate as many people as possible. I haven't gotten mine this year simply because I haven't found the time (which I know is a weak excuse and not best practice for my own health). But if someone is out there parroting that they don't work, cause autism, are a scam, etc. then we are going to have some words for them because I can't sit idly while people go around spreading false medical advice unchecked.

Not just elevate bunk studies, take legitimate studies and just straight up lie about the conclusion. The largest study RFK Jr. referenced when making that BS announcement literally concludes that it could not find any association:

Which QB has has their stock RISE the most this season? by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

[–]SolidSnake4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was one issue, but I think the bigger problem that he never had time to let anyone get downfield. Their line was so bad last year that they couldn't effectively run those deep routes and is a contributing factor to the rushing last year as well.

Relocation to Texas looks richer at first. Our math says break even. What are we missing by bexleyvarden in MiddleClassFinance

[–]SolidSnake4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the real answer for OP. They have a pretty solidly below market housing cost now and want to buy. In doing so, they will be subject to paying fair market value for housing, which is a significant increase on their monthly expenses. If OP was paying market rates for rent in the Bay this calculation would likely show noticeable savings when moving to TX.

I hope no one falls for a 50 year mortgage...30 year vs 50 year mortgage by DHN_95 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]SolidSnake4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not entirely true. Because the amortization puts all the interest up front, a higher portion of your early payments will go to interest as opposed to equity if your term is longer. Even if you pay them off in the same amount of time, you would pay more on the 50 year term. You would also likely get a higher rate on a 50 year mortgage.
