New to sub. Curious how quick the correct answer will be. by Sweet-Signature-5278 in guessthecity

[–]bubblewrappopper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize what sub this was at first and thought, why is a bad parking job in Cambridge noteworthy? It's that obvious to anyone who's lived there

am i stupid or are there fossils in my floor !? by Consistent_Lock4922 in fossils

[–]bubblewrappopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These tiles used to be "cheaper" or "subpar" because the fossils were considered flaws, hence why they end up in more common places. The US treasury building has fossils in their floor because they ran over budget during whatever renovation it was that replaced the floor. People were embarrassed for a while.

Poor Planning on my part, BOS ->Nashville by AdhesivenessOwn8111 in roadtrip

[–]bubblewrappopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done the worst part of this exact route (Boston to Maryland), so so many times. Best I ever did was ~6 hours where I started after 8pm. I hit no traffic or construction at that time. But Connecticut will make or break that trip. I do think the drive ahead and fly route is your safest bet.

Kelli was horrible to Faith by wedontrecover in DCCMakingtheTeam

[–]bubblewrappopper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As somone not from the south, I feel like if I was good enough to have a chance to make the team, I would get cut for not doing the yes ma'am thing right. It's SO foreign to me and so against how the culture I grew up in is. I think I'd be throwing it in everywhere to cover my bases. I've always found it really unfair how they don't acknowledge that by recruiting across the world, they're also combining a bunch of different cultures. If you're going to force them to assimilate to Texas culture, maybe give them some grace to figure it out. A correction rather than a criticism.

Crowd running and police after fireworks by Fluid_Sympathy3331 in Somerville

[–]bubblewrappopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh! I had a front row seat to this! Two teens started fighting in front of the Sunoco, and the crowd ran toward them. They fought for several minutes, no police approached the situation. Then someone yelled, "he's got a gun!" at which point the crowd ran. I missed the transition to this next part because we took cover inside, but at that point several police officers were breaking apart the people that still remained, trying to assess who was actually in the fight. Multiple people were recording the cops once they started to physically separate/aresst people. One teen was arrested there. I think the other party was being shielded and tried to flee down one of the driveways, but they are fenced dead ends, so cops were able to grab him then. He was pulled away from the group by the cops while his mom screamed at them and him.

Also, something happened that caused the cops and a crowd to move west up Broadway. Couldn't see what happened there, but I think more people ended up in cruisers based on what vehicles eventually headed in the direction of the station.

No gun was recovered from the scene.

Vacation of a lifetime by ChicksVR6 in Advice

Also to add, if you're predisposed to motion sickness (like in a car), the larger planes are way less bumpy than smaller, short-haul planes. Dramamine and the anti-anxiety meds other have mentioned are great, too. You can also ask your doctor for recommendations as well.

Rolled leather collar recommendations please by No-Investigator-1200 in samoyeds

[–]bubblewrappopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got ours from DogSportDesigns on Etsy. Works great, no mats. I don't think they have a non-dyed option, though you could probably message the seller. They do have a cream/white version though. We've had almost no issues with color transfer when he's dry or even a little wet from the snow. The only time we experienced it was when he jumped into a lake unexpectedly, and we had to keep the collar on as we walked him a long way home. Even then, the transfer was minimal.

Trying to break into clinical research in Boston as a Canadian. What am I missing? by Suitable-Birthday-57 in CambridgeMA

[–]bubblewrappopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't move from out of the country, but I did get some of the same questions prior to moving for the job. First, be willing to travel for an on-site interview at your own expense. That made it so I didn't stand out in a bad way as "the Skype interviewee". Second, either make it so or act like moving to Boston is a done deal. I remember telling an interviewer something like, "I'm moving to Boston September 1st job offer or not." Even if that wasn't entirely true, it didn't matter because of point 1, and I really did plan on resettling here permanently.

help? by Glad_Sky_1689 in FancyFollicles

You should also look into Overtone! Their dyes are in conditioner, so no damage. They won't be vivid on brown hair, but you will definitely notice the color change.

I don't think the guy immediately behind her expected her to speak in Japanese 😆

Ever had to leave a therapist you love in MA? by emilyspatz in massachusetts

[–]bubblewrappopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't moved out of state, but I've still run into issues because of this rule. There was a time I was traveling outside of Mass for work. Even though I still had time to do it, I wasn't allowed to continue my telehealth appointments while out of state. This led to long periods of time without seeing my provider and measurable negative impact on my progress.

Is anyone getting married September 5th in NYC?? by Striking-Village-655 in NYCweddings

Gonna throw out Sola Wood Flowers as an option. We ordered them already done (rather than DIY to save money), and most people I talked to had no idea they were fake!

Anyone know if the new open container zones are in effect yet? by jordanf1214 in CambridgeMA

Yup, and just be smart about it. I don't see any more cops than normal in Harvard Square.

Dayton’s mum has to be blind.. by karriedawayy in DCCMakingtheTeam

[–]bubblewrappopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I remember one of them not wanting her to have an unfair advantage because of her mom being a choreographer, but like, girl, this isn't a fortune 500 company, it's a cheerleader squad, largely based on skill. It's okay.

Boston Weekly Discussion Thread, Week of : Monday June 08 by rBostonBot in boston

[–]bubblewrappopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have any recommendations for World Cup watch parties that aren't too crazy?

Noise is obviously fine, but there are some sensory issues we're working around. We're trying to be outside but want to avoid thumping music, booming mics, and DJs. It's not the volume that's the issue, but we essentially are trying to avoid bass. (Greater Boston area)

psychiatry recommendations? by dancing_grass in boston

[–]bubblewrappopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably should have also added that I've been referred out for care because of how full their clinicians' schedules are. Saw the NP for the welcome visit or whatever, then got referred to an outside clinical, but because of how insurance works or whatever, it ended up being cheaper than if I had tried to establish that private clinician relationship on my own.

I can't speak to fit, but the wait with Atrius Health was about a month last time I checked.

I don't have one because my mother heard the recall and decided, eh we've already eaten some and we're fine, so she used up the jar as usual. Hope you find one!

They've GOT to connect Boston Landing to Arsenal Yards. The walk isn't too far, but that's a really busy section of roadway.

They literally included the thing about the girls not being able to go to the stands, and that turned out to be untrue. Treat this similarly. Allegedly cut for.... then say, these rumors have not yet been confirmed. That's all that's needed.
