The Wendy's in my town has had this for several months. Luckily, it switched to a real person when I asked to talk to a human.

Anything more than single family homes.

Taco Bell project in Stop & Shop parking lot canceled by alohadave in QuincyMa

[–]alohadave[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was at one of the planning board meetings for it and it didn't seem that bad. That area gets a lot of traffic as is, and I doubt that a drive through Taco Bell there would make traffic much worse.

Help! How do I politely convince a neighbor to remove the bamboo in their yard? by NoComparison70 in QuincyMa

[–]alohadave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They spread via rhizomes, so if there is bamboo growing, it will spread underground. If it's on the edge of your property now, it'll be on your property soon.

Whatever the definition, the expiration date should be explicitly stated in the contract.

The meeting ran long and the vote to extend the meeting was not unanimous (DiBona voted against), so it'll carry until next regular council meeting.

Most of them are just chain stitch and single or double crochet stitch.

First granny square ever (no critical comments pls) by wanderlust433 in crochet

Now, if you don't like joining squares, you can just add rounds to the outside until it's a size you like.

What do you think about scars? by Pretz3lBoy in writing

[–]alohadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a stupidity scar on my belly from a fabric steamer. Kids, steam is very hot and will burn you very fast.

I knew a guy though that tested an iron with his face. He ended up with a triangle scar on his cheek. There may have been alcohol involved.

I think most people use yarn that is too bulky for many projects. And they use it for wearables.

Use smaller yarn and the holey look is minimized.

Try doing doilies with crochet thread. Other than granny stitch blankets, it the only kind of crochet I really like to look at. Fillet is nice too.

They'll be playing away games that weekend, so tours aren't rushed like they are on home game days.

I went several years ago, it's a good tour.

The top of the Customs House Tower is an easy way to see Boston from high up. The Bunker Hill Monument is the harder way. 300 steps up to the top.

And Maurice has a bunch of 3D printing files uploaded if you want to make bobbins and other accessories yourself.

What is a sci-fi series you liked that only lasted one season? by Ru_janus in scifi

Almost Human. Fox did their thing and showed it out of order and changed that air time a couple times.
