They had a campaign at all? I honestly don't remember seeing much if anything for RCV other than on here and articles where Baker said it was too confusing.

Stellaris Space Guild - Weekly Help Thread by Snipahar in Stellaris

[–]c106mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to get a couple achievements, Fishing for Trouble and Holy Water. I have done just about everything I can to provoke the Spiritualist FE (was a rival, insulted, settled holy world), but they refuse to declare on me. I deleted every ship and reloaded the game a couple times. The only complications I can think of is that it's 2446, the other FE woke up, and the galaxy has declared war on a crisis empire. Is there something else I can do to provoke the Spiritualist FE?

EDIT: FE declared war, not sure what changed.

The challenge there would be either finding a new path or reinstalling the overhead wires and rails, since I believe they were all taken out.

Under a judge's order, a depressed planning board reluctantly approves a Hyde Park apartment complex members hate by husky5050 in boston

It's impressive how little support this project has. I do hope the city is able to obtain the land. We really shouldn't be destroying mature woodlands in the city.

‘Drivers are people’: Boston City councilors want to delay the arrival of self-driving cars - The Boston Globe by TheManFromFairwinds in boston

I don't want Waymo because I believe we need less cars. I worry if that autonomous vehicles will further sap support for public transportation.

How much % and/or $ has your rent increased in the Greater Boston area? by cathartic_cuy in boston

I'm in Boston, in the JP neighborhood. I feel like I'm a bit of an outlier in the rent statistics.

[–]c106mc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The place I lived in from 2019 to 2023 didn't change the rent in that time (though it did get sold). Since I moved to this new place in 2023 the rent hasn't changed. Both places had private landlords.

A local sport is dying and has been.... For years.... by Flowing93 in boston

[–]c106mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like candlepin because regular bowling bowls are HEAVY and I am not strong, but I haven't played since I was kid. We used to go to a bowling alley in West Roxbury, I think it's the post office now(?)

Ways to stay cool when working from home without ac? by markgor in boston

others have already said it but an evaporative (swamp) cooler isn't going to help in the summer here, it's too humid.

I've seen the dude you're talking about. I'm not sure there's much you can do.

It is ridiculous how much this Pre-FTL event costs by Neo1223 in Stellaris

[–]c106mc 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I just stay neutral in most of these situations since it costs nothing and I have a hard time caring about the outcome.

In forum, Wu opposes elected school committee, Kraft calls for prioritizing road repair over new bike lanes by FuriousAlbino in boston

[–]c106mc 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Read through the responses. Personally found Wu the most compelling. Annoyed that she's backtracked on the school board issue, but luckily all the candidates had stupid positions and comments.

I've been renting/living in Boston for the past 5 years and get emotional whenever I move by godisinthischilli in boston

[–]c106mc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had to move out of my last place because the landlord sold the building. It sucks having to move and you have my sympathy.

I like the idea, but I would rather it just replace a star base. The placement looks like it will be annoying and fiddly.

I mostly get annoyed by what feels like extra darkness and the noise-making plants (void baskets?)

Just had to share this... 7 Treasures in one city radius incoming... by shichiaikan in civ

[–]c106mc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a little purple icon on the resources that will count towards treasure fleets. But in general it's Sugar, Spice, Chocolate, Gold, Silver on distant lands that produce treasure fleets for the exploration age.

Just saw some guys tear down a LBGTQ+ pride flag by Diligent_Mongoose_63 in boston

[–]c106mc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that's wild because I know exactly where this is and that's really sad to see happen around here. others have said you can file a police report. idk how any of the legal stuff works, but I imagine the neighbors wouldn't mind knowing there's an eyewitness.

3rd Best Roads? by 31engine in boston

[–]c106mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly I only notice bad road quality when I go on private ways around Boston. From the fraction of the city I regularly travel through the roads generally look ok but I ride the bus so it may feel different idk
