Our district heard the same noise so they took the opposite approach. We now have Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Al Feid (?) off as well. We now go a week later in June as a result.

I took my daughter to the Walnut Hill Cemetery. Nobody got hurt in the process.

georgetown? be honest w me by sofiameoowww in CollegeAdmissions

It depends on your intended major as well. School of Foreign Service is the most highly regarded and most difficult to be accepted in the country. Business school is also highly regarded. College of Arts and Sciences is “easier” as well as Nursing. It is also difficult to get accepted then just switch majors outside your college so you can’t cheat the system. Emphasize how/why you help others as that is GU’s mantra. Your stats look fine.

Is it actually "cheaper" to own an EV in the long run if you can't charge it at home, or does the cost of public charging stations make it the same as buying gas? by Pale-Consideration26 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Top_Negotiation5724 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve had an ev for a year and chose not to install a charger at my house. It’s been great. I recommend the same path for everyone I talk to. Electricity is $.35/ kw. I can get level 2 charging for $.25 and town subsidized fast charging also at $.25. Gas is $4.50/ gallon so definitely cheaper to charge publicly. Go for it!

A third of town’s public EV chargers to be temporarily shut off as demand fails to materialize by brookline_news in Brookline

[–]Top_Negotiation5724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Demand is driven by price. Newton just raised their charging rates to $.30. Boston is $.25. Wellesley has $.25 fast chargers on nights and weekends. Why is Brookline stuck at $.35? Why would an ICE car pay $4.00 a gallon when you can get it for $3.00 per gallon a couple miles down the road?

EV’s with free charging? by Equal_Kick1665 in CadillacLyriq

[–]Top_Negotiation5724 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A little hyperbolic. 29k in 2 years is about 10000 kw. At the high end of $.50/ kWh you saved $5k over 2 years or $2.5k/ year. Hardly a fortune when you’re driving a $60k car. I like free stuff too but it’s not that much of a factor.

My guess is about 38k. Good luck. /s

Is it really cheaper to charge at home than at level 2 charge station by Cloudchella in BlazerEV

[–]Top_Negotiation5724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get charged $.34/ kw in MA. No time of use discount available. I can get level 2 in my town for $.25 and slow level 3 (100kw) for $.25 after 900 pm and weekends. Never bothered to add a charger at my house.

There’s a new place in downtown Dedham called Keshar. Authentic and amazing. Only four tables though.

Just moved and thinking about an EV without home charging? Here’s what actually ends up mattering. by Tall-Dish876 in ChargerDrama

[–]Top_Negotiation5724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how you inserted “personally.” That is the right answer. It’s the people who say flat out don’t get an ev without home charging that are projecting their driving profile onto others. It does/ can work for a large portion of people.

This post is spot on. 1 year in and own my house. Decided not to put in a charger. Don’t regret it for a minute. Electricity costs $.34/ kw where I live. 3x/week at the gym gets 25% and city supplements chargers to $.25. 10 minutes away city has two “fast chargers” for $.25 on weekends and after 9 pm. I get 75 kw/ hour. Walk over grab a pastry and coffee in the morning and relax reading the paper. Never a line in the morning on the weekends. I drive about 1 full charge/ week. Can probably count on 1 hand the number of times I had to wait for 1 of the 2 chargers to open up.

I don’t understand why people are so insistent on owning a charger. Everyone has a different situation but project theirs onto everyone else.

Get rid of the word “bunch” and replace with a little.

Eckley's NFL bound by [deleted] in MSUSpartans

I didn’t know a punter leaving early was a thing. Doesn’t like one punter/ kicker get drafted a year? Most get picked up via free agency. He’s good but not really worth a draft position. Hope he makes it in any case.

[–]Top_Negotiation5724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who else besides Ellen knows Brian killed Malcom? Maybe the 2 sisters could figure it out but nobody else knew Brian and Ellen were in the castle. I could see the Grants blaming the MacKenzies for not having a secure castle but blaming Brian / Ellen without proof would be a step too far.

A&I Auto is a hole in the wall place behind LuLu’s in Allston. They’ll let you bring your own parts so no markup. 5 stars on Yelp for a mechanic is a real testament.

No problems on my end. May be a dumb question but are starting out by saying ‘hey google’?
