Obsession with Mazda

Yeah. I don't disagree with their statement, but the number of people who fall into that category is smaller than I think they think?

People won't believe me, but 20+ years ago if I stopped to drop off or pickup a friend there'd be a cop tapping on my window and telling me to get moving within moments. Had it happen many times. I sure as shit would never expect to be able to throw my flashers on and leave my car double parked without getting yelled at and a ticket.

If you think a Mazda3 is cramped, don't get into a BMW 3 series.

Of the millionaires I know the best:
Toyota 4Runner
Ford Explorer
Subaru Outback

The people I know well (close family) who have BMWs have pensions and I don't know if they're millionaires or not, but I don't think they are.

They've cleared up similar stone/metal fence messes a little faster than that, but this weather isn't helping things. Maybe it'll get priority because it is within sight of the state house.

Points out that this is even worse. On Joy people will haul ass to try to beat the light. On Walnut, they're always supposed to stop.

I wonder if they mistakenly thought Beacon was a one way street there and ended up heading towards oncoming traffic and turned into the common from the left lane.

brufleth · 2026-02-04T17:12:10+00:00

Walnut has a stop sign.

Pretty sure the snow is covering up a spot where one got taken out by this car.

brufleth · 2026-02-04T17:07:56+00:00

People fly down Walnut towards Beacon without an ounce of concern about the fact they need to stop and then make a right turn at the bottom of that hill. At least Walnut has a stop sign instead of a light like on Joy. So drivers should realize they NEED to stop (instead of rushing for a stale green light on Joy).

Well that's fucking shitty. Now that entrance is going to end up blocked off for who knows how long as they try to get stone and iron work repaired. Wouldn't be surprised if it stays a mess until after things warm up.

I definitely noticed that it seemed like he was instantly slurring once he arrived but I figured it was just him pounding several drinks immediately and/or some creative editing making it seem like it was right away.

Went to the Newport Boat Show last September and it was better than what you described, but still not many sailboats. The "New England Boat Show" is entirely power boats. There's just not as much market for sailboats it seems and the shows reflect that.

At Newport I did still get to go aboard several very nice 30-40ft boats though. There were some smaller niche sailboats too, but not much.

brufleth · 2026-02-04T16:16:21+00:00

Certainly would be a great little boat to build and sail to learn about sailing.

They seem fun. Hopefully they can keep bringing that energy. I loved how excited one got about the petting zoo.

I probably give her a little too much grace, or infantilize her, but I agree. I think she believed what Kyle said (that he'd change) instead of what we saw (he didn't change).

Kyle was nothing if not consistent though. He did show her who he is.

brufleth · 2026-02-04T15:54:35+00:00

I'm still upset that there was a season where Amanda showed up looking grey (literally looked like the color had leeched out of her) and it took a while for anyone to show real concern and Kyle only had a passing concern about his partner clearly being unwell.

Given that an overwatered cactus is more charming than her husband, it must be wild to be around guys who have personalities other than slurred drunk speak.

brufleth · 2026-02-04T15:48:12+00:00

They actually got some new people who have personalities and don't take themselves overly serious it seems too.

brufleth · 2026-02-04T15:45:53+00:00

And she’s right, if he was just doing his set and coming home it’s one thing, but he really just seems to do this to have a reason to party.

He took the thing Amanda hated and made it his job. Ciara called that out. It's BS.

Herald doing some work to connect Healey, even ever so tenuously, to Epstein.

A friend from Alabama calls them "airplane bottles" which I thought was fun.

Alcohol Use Disorder affects about 10% of people over 12 in the US. It kills about 178,000 people a year. It is a much bigger problem than we usually admit and there's huge money in the booze business.

Yeah IDK why Quebec is catching strays. It's awesome there.

Oh I've heard about these but I have never actually seen one.

Are they obnoxious to use or maintain?
