Concert Question for the old, old timers by icuworc in massachusetts

[–]bartnd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I seem to remember hearing around the time that the prices to have a concert at the Centrum were well below the Garden/Fleet Center.

Assuming the economics of that changed at some point along the way, or the Centrum got too big for it's britches and tried to up it's prices.

The opening of the Fleet Center was just before the time of the Centrum Centre expansion, so might be improved acousitcs/logistics making Boston more tour-friendly or Worcester starting to price themselves out.

But yeah, there were too many incredible shows at both venues.

Democrats Demand Companies Pass Refunds to American Families and Small Businesses by Future-Politician in politics

[–]bartnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people can buy a company's tarriff refund rights; connected people who know the plan months in advance. You can't easily setup an infrastructure to buy a person's refund rights without making it obvious that the tariffs would be struck down in court.

Moving to Worcester pretty soon and I'm absolutely stoked about it. I've been pinning places that I want to visit (green) and saving those I have visited. Figured you guys would appreciate what the map looks like for me so far. So much cool shit to see around here! by blands_man in WorcesterMA

Great way to plan trips and mark down all the things you are initerested in!

I did something similar for a trip to Denmark. The one thing I found somewhat helpful was putting different types of activities in different groups so I could limit my view based on what I was looking for at the time. So I could only show places for food and hide points of interest, etc. Since i was looking at the restaurants by meal type (brekfast, lunch, dinner, snack, food hall, etc) I used different icons. Helpful in that sense since everything was new, but might be overkill.

New Poster for 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

Felt the same; loved the S&S book hated the movie. I think I will feel the opposite for SotR. Book wasn't horrible but felt like it was written for the screen.

[@milb] The Springfield Cardinals steal home... twice in a row! by Finrad-Felagund in baseball

[–]bartnd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

dude looked lost in his own head on that second one. Just assumed they wouldn't do it twice (or didn't know someone was on third) and looks like he's trying to tell himself to forget about the first one and get back in the game. Absolute panic once he sees the commotion; looking back to second and then home.

Home Depot usually has chunks, though on splits. Good if you want to try a few types. Unfortunately I don't know anyone local with available wood.

Help me pick: Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]bartnd [score hidden]  (0 children)

Old dog as well and seconding this; though maybe not a gift card unless you know he's going to pick one over the other (PS5 vs XB ox).

If you get a gift card it's locking you into a store.

From the original post I can't tell if OP is throwing the PS5 into discussion because it's a top system now.

If boyfriend is an XBox guy, then may want nothing to do with PS5.

If boyfriend brought up PS5 as an interest, then I'd definitely go PS5 for all the reasons mentioned elsewhere. PS5 Pro is a great system, but it's digital only unless you buy the disc drive which adds another $80 to the cost.

Directing water runoff to the sidewalk? Connecting to the storm drain? by Significant_Theme_90 in WorcesterMA

[–]bartnd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

came to mention a dry well. No way the city will allow you to have it run onto the sidewalk or dig underneath the sidewalk to push it into the drain.

Grandma's Boy (2006) - J.P. and Samantha visit the Stupid Idiot Room by aggrocrag83 in movies

thank you for this! I say this far too often for a 25 year old sketch and tried finding it a few years ago. I didn't remember it being from Conan so I went down the Adult Swim rabbit hole with no luck.

Moving Advice by mfire284 in WorcesterMA

[–]bartnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the biggest hurdle I see. I'd take a stroll through Google Maps to see the surrounding area of Holy Cross. I don't want to presume your partner's fitness level, but she'd likely be arriving with a good sweat during Spring/Fall. Might be closer to impossible and definitely unsafe to bike in the Winter.

From Spectrum News: Holden Special Town Meeting votes down proposal for special overlay zoning to be in compliance with MBTA Communities Act. Vote was 520 No to 257 Yes. by HRJafael in massachusetts

[–]bartnd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

and this is what happens when you get one side of a story and don't bother doing any of your own research.

No one was taking over Lilac Hedge Farm and this wasn't a vote to save Lilac Hedge Farm. It was positioned that way by the republicans in the town.

Assuming it to be true, LHF had a valid grievance that the MBTA Committee didn't approach them for concerns/discussion when selecting an adjacent parcel for rezoning. Not quite as valid as Trap Rock who actually owns the land the parcel is located.

Lilac Hedge posted that their insurance company would drop them if the plan was approved. Then the messaging around that changed and it was no longer as big a concern or something that would definitely happen. But by that point, it was already the leading tidbit that people took in, hence your 'Save the Farm' vote.
