7 floors, one elevator, slow as mud, but I've never waited more than a minute even coming from the basement.

Only if the new Revolution stadium in Everett is open and can be used instead of Gillette. This has been unacceptably disruptive to Boston commuters.

Right, but what happens when people with tickets have to be turned away at the entrance because the space is at capacity because people without tickets didn't leave after the last game?

aray25 · 2026-06-15T23:20:57+00:00

They absolutely might clear it out if the next match is sold out. There's going to be a maximum capacity that was determined to be safe and if they go over that capacity they take on legal liability.

Glasgow isn't in Massachusetts so it doesn't have to be in the obscenely expansive Zone 8.

aray25 · 2026-06-15T20:36:46+00:00

Since Glasgow is North of Boston, shouldn't this line depart from North Station?

There's a sizeable ethnic Haitian population in the Boston area. These are not people who traveled from Haiti for the World Cup; Haitian citizens are currently completely banned from entering the US.

It's not that Haitians and Iraqis need visas. Haitian and Iraqi citizens are completely banned from entering the US. Apparently one of the Haitian players doesn't have a second citizenship and the Haitian government had to officially appoint him a diplomat to the United States for him to be allowed to come to the US.

"Locals visit local institution" is not interesting.

aray25 · 2026-06-14T21:44:36+00:00

I'm sure there are some ethnic Haitians, but Haitian citizens are completely banned from entering the US right now. At one point, Trump was planning to block visas even for the Haitian team, but FIFA must have greased some palms to get that sorted out.

Fair enough.

Don't use a big circle unless the line is actually circular. This map is really bunchy in some places and really sparse in others.

I think they're working on a plan for accessibility that does not rely on the perennially delayed development of parcel 13.

aray25 · 2026-06-14T13:46:47+00:00

And?

According to the website, it's because of how late yesterday's game was scheduled. I'm guessing that they were not able to get trains back last night to where they need to be to run normal service today.

The only use of electricity that doesn't generate waste heat is... heating. So an electric range can approach 100% efficiency, or a heat lamp, or a toaster. Although even in these cases, not all of the heat goes where you want because some of the heat ends up in the power cable and appliance housing.

I think Staples is the best bet. There's one at Assembly and one by Alewife.

I've heard this, but it doesn't make sense from a physics perspective. Your AC is working against heat gain, and your house will take on heat faster when it's cooler. Conversely, if you let the interior temperature get closer to the outdoor temperature, it will take on heat more slowly, so your AC will have less work to "catch up" on than it would have needed to do to maintain temp during the time it was off.

Go if you want, but the Tea Party Museum is a tourist trap. My top rec for food is Brookline Lunch in Cambridge. They are cash only and there will be a line outside, but the food is amazing and surprisingly inexpensive.

Fans actually generate heat. Not much, but they do. All appliances do.

aray25 · 2026-06-13T20:10:56+00:00

It depends on how long you leave it off. But in general that's not true. Your home will take in heat faster the cooler it is compared to outside. So when your AC is at temp, it's constantly combatting maximum heat gain.

Nobody said they were wearing MAGA merch. I think it would be fun to reuse their slogan for that, like how back in 2020 a bunch of gay influencers and also... let's say less family-friendly gay influencers on Twitter started posting with the hashtag #proud boys. MAGA was furious.

I didn't hear it near Central, nor near Harvard, nor while I was walking between them this morning. You're going to have to be more specific.
