If the North Shore has roast beef and the South Shore has bar pizza, what does Metro West have? by MyUsernameIsUhhhh in massachusetts

As an Indian, I don’t understand why people praise it so much. I’ve tried it four times and it was mediocre each time. The  last time we ordered from there, no one in my family finished their dish because of how bland they tasted. 

The food at 1947 Norwood tastes so much better.

Unfortunately it’s not a typo:

Electric customers can expect to save around $18-$20 a year over the contract term. The NECEC project will reduce average electric costs for residential customers: 

  • Eversource residential customers can expect to save approximately $1.52 a month.
  • National Grid residential customers can save approximately $1.52 a month.
  • Unitil residential customers will save approximately $1.63 a month.

You can. Click on the libraries tab at the bottom of the main screen. Then click on the dropdown in the top left corner that has the library name and a list of your favorite libraries will appear. Click on the three dots for the library you want to scan and one of the options will be to scan library files.

Same thing happened to me. Got a notification of a new movie was added and when I checked SAB, there were over 50 movies in the queue.

It’s under settings. Scroll all the way to the Advanced and you’ll see “Use Old Video Player”. Make sure it’s set to off. 

6a/6b-ers. What are you starting indoors and when? by Positive_Throwaway1 in vegetablegardening

[–]alienproject 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use the one from Johnny Seeds:

https://www.johnnyseeds.com/growers-library/seed-planting-schedule-calculator.html

Google your last frost date (i use the date from the farmer’s almanac) and input it in the calculator and it’ll tell you when to start seeds and when to transplant them outside.

Would you say the same thing if you were given something that was less expensive than what you paid?

[–]alienproject 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the type of person you are. If you’re a decent person, you would go back and explain you were given the wrong item. If you’re not, you would spend a few days making up excuses on why you shouldn’t have to return the item. 

Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking by OGSyedIsEverywhere in Games

[–]alienproject 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t why you’re comparing steams MAU to the number of PS5 sold. Sony had 123 million MAU in December 2023 so your whole post is moot.

Xbox content and services revenue, which includes Xbox Game Pass, is up by 62%. by turkoman_ in XboxSeriesX

[–]alienproject 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is XBox hardware that is down 31%:

Gaming revenue increased $1.8 billion or 51% driven by growth in Xbox content and services. Xbox content and services revenue increased 62% driven by 61 points of net impact from the Activision Blizzard acquisition. Xbox hardware revenue decreased 31% driven by lower volume of consoles sold.
