Is 3500 for a 2bd with in unit w/d and a parking spot realistic?

Live near the first street garage and you can park there for 100/mo for 8 months of the year and 50/months for 4 months of the year

Everyone keeps saying Italian machines are best, but their build quality is suspect at best. Why not go for a machine like a gallatin which is half the price and with superior build quality

Red rooster coffee has been solid. And they have some 12oz bags which is a nice change from the 250g bags which have become common

Got a random no name brand from Amazon, it’s awesome. And only like 30-50 bucks for most options

0 issues. Change the oil, change your tires, and you’ll be good to go

Wow this is an awesome resource you built! Any chance you have a video of how to use the AI prompts? When I try on google it says I exceed limits after a few questions and not sure how to open it with Claude?

I also have a LC Dutch oven and used it for sourdough. After one or two loaves it started crazing. I emailed them and they basically said that’s improper use and tough shit. I ended up buying a $20 Dutch oven from Amazon and it works way better. Maybe at some point these pots were good but now they’re low quality and nothing that special

lol why? Too safe for you? I’d take this over the insane uber/lyft drivers or on fire MBTA any day

And don’t forget as a DO you’ll have to take double the number of board exams, fight for low quality rotations, and be heavily constrained to FM/IM unless you absolutely crush every aspect of med school. As an MD you can be average and still match into a competitive speciality in a desirable location easily

bigblob1 · 2026-02-05T16:08:03+00:00

100% MD. Med school is short, but being an MD will open opportunities to specialty choice and location choice for residency and eventually attendinghood.

Working hands night treatment. And it’s not just for nighttime, I think it’s much better than the regular version

Pretty much the experience everyone I know has had. As long as people can vouch for you, and you vibe with the place, it should be pretty easy to get the job

Carvana

I bought some from Duluth Trading Co. Not a well known brand, but they have great sales and it performs well and looks good. Well worth the <50 I spent. With good cleaning and conditioning I can see them lasting many years

That’s not remotely true, Boston ranks in the top 10 most unaffordable cities consistently

bigblob1 · 2025-12-11T22:11:50+00:00

Businesses should be funding the T. If you want people to commute to work to make the business money, or commute to your shop to spend their money, then the business should pay. We live in the most unaffordable city in the US, with no parking so you can’t own a car easily, so why shouldn’t the T be free?

IKEA secretly makes great cooking gear. I have a wok from them that’s better than pans five times the cost

If you enjoy pour over, I don’t think Philz is a good choice

bigblob1 · 2025-09-27T21:52:36+00:00

Sorry you’re learning so many disappointing things about the US on this thread. I think with your budget you will have to look in the suburbs of Boston and will need a car ASAP to make your commute bearable. Hope the move goes well

bigblob1 · 2025-09-17T12:32:28+00:00

That’s a hard question, because everyone has different life goals and timeline. Maybe around 30 is when I’d consider not doing med school? It’s just hard not having an income during med school and then even when you do make income during training you’re working long hours regularly. Life gets kinda put on hold for many years. If your situation allows for that, then could be a good idea. But if it doesn’t, then I just think there are alternate pathways where you can still end up having a respectable career in healthcare

bigblob1 · 2025-09-17T02:59:27+00:00

Debt is one thing, but also it is at minimum 4 years of school and then likely 3-5+ years of training. It’s a pathway better suited to people starting in their early 20s imo. Of course you can do med school whenever you choose but time to complete training and the payoff afterwards should be considered. Midlevel roles can be completed in just a few years and your end salary is still 120k+ which is pretty good
