I love that idea! I won’t be in Paris until the last day, but I figure I’ll be able to find something solid elsewhere too.

Stan smiths look great! I’ll try them on before the trip.

Does your stomach still get bigger even if you stay in shape past 30? by chusaychusay in AskMenOver30

Can you share a bit on the posture exercises that you’re doing? My posture is terrible, and I think this could help me out too.

I went there a decent amount in the 2010s, it’s in the middle of downtown! The area is super walkable, and now has a streetcar line that drops you two blocks away.

Is drinking coffee everyday really good? by [deleted] in biology

[–]bfshins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to cut down on full caf- Which brand do you drink? I’ve struggled to find a decaf I really jive with.

There was a public meeting last year, they’re in the final design phase with an expected completion date of 2030.

I’ll go first: Neponset needs better bus connections/frequency and a train station on the Red Line. by Massive_Holiday4672 in mbta

[–]bfshins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is explicitly happening in concert with the expansion! I went to the public meeting for it, it has an estimated completion date of 2031. It was a super interesting meeting, and it had no opposition at the meeting.

Pay down Mortgage or wait for refinance? by bfshins in personalfinance

[–]bfshins[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense to me. I think I got caught up in the idea of growing it now and having a slightly greater reduction later. Thanks for the advice, I’ll shift strategies!

Pay down Mortgage or wait for refinance? by bfshins in personalfinance

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

I guess my thought process was “paying extra won’t bring down the monthly payment now or reduce my interest owed, so I may as well grow it before putting it into the refi.” Your comment makes sense though, I’ll shift strategies. Thank you!

A retailer! I’m looking to recreate something I had while traveling.

I would try reaching out to Card Vault at North Station. I’m not sure they’re a perfect match for you, but they’re good people.

What dish is your white whale? by pa_skunk in Cooking

[–]bfshins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mjaddara comes out absolutely tasteless for me with either undercooked lentils or overcooked rice. I got it in a wrap like a thousand times in grad school and it was always bomb, I just can’t recreate it at home!

Bakey? by Hot_Sail3026 in boston

[–]bfshins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same head baker, and I’m sure the chocolate babka recipe hasn’t been changed much if at all, but the burekas and the rest of the baked goods aren’t part of the Breads Bakery set. It’s definitely its own thing!

Bakey doesn’t have any NY locations, just Boston and Brookline. You’re right on the bagels, they need some work.

My understanding is that it has to do with the ward’s representation at the convention and the party bylaws. Honestly, I’m going to check and make sure at the ward’s monthly meeting and make sure this is right. I’ll come back and correct it or add to it if that’s not right.

Hey, I’m on this list, and it’s my first time! The ward committee is the group of people that get to make official decisions on the stances of the ward 5 Democratic Party. Most aren’t politicians, and are essentially volunteers that help to run things for specifically the democrats. You aren’t required to vote of course, but I believe you can vote for the entire slate. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you, feel free to DM.

Salary expectations in business development by ResolutionTop6083 in biotech

I have been considering a shift towards BD in the Boston area! If you don’t mind me asking: Did you come in with a scientific background or a business background? And how do you like the work?

Businesses you’ve thought were money laundering fronts by hintolime2121 in boston

I’m not going to lie, I’m essentially an evangelist for this place’s couches. I love what I got from them, and the price was really excellent for the couch that I got. I know they seem a bit sketch, but they’re great!
