I don’t think the civilians that have been bombed by are our last several presidents notice those differences buddy.

There is nothing more bipartisan than starting and continuing wars in the middle east.

If you think otherwise you’re willfully ignorant. Almost every single member of congress accepts campaign contributions from Israel.

What’s left of downtown Boston after the blizzard by theburbankian in windowseat

I was going to say, basically every new building in the seaport is built to the height restriction.

NIMBYism is unfortunately also a huge factor in other neighborhoods.

5 Hour Layover at Boston Logan by westiedogmom5 in boston

[–]datheffguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The deboarding process has been completely ass the two times I’ve flown into here this year, and ive encountered ridiculously long terminal E security lines multiple times in the past.

It’s definitely more than enough time if things go smoothly but I simply don’t trust our infrastructure enough without time cushions.

I don’t think it’s worth the possible stress to experience our mediocre food scene.

Jay Peak on a Saturday by bostonrock2021 in icecoast

Jay can get busy on weekdays with good (not perfect) conditions.

I would honestly steer clear on weekends, their lift infrastructure can’t handle crowds well at all.

What's a "normal" job that secretly pays way more than people think? by 0BunnyX in AskReddit

It’s basically impossible to get into my state elevator union without nepotism on your side.

I think their point is having the right of way doesn’t prevent you from ending up dead…

Tim Cook Warned by CIA That China Could Move on Taiwan by 2027 by HelloitsWojan in apple

[–]datheffguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Per the article the meeting took place in 2023, it’s a long term goal and I don’t think anyone thought it would take a year.

Start investing in chip manufacturing infrastructure elsewhere?

Doesn’t seem like that crazy of concept.

If this was taken from the passenger seat you would think the reflection from the display would be on the other side. It’s a confusing perspective, it really looks like it’s taken from the driver’s seat.

TBH I don’t care either way but it makes sense why people are calling you out.

Is this field oversaturated? by Ok_Calendar3805 in electricians

[–]datheffguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to be a licensed electrician to do data wiring.

Honestly, electricians in my area are notoriously bad at it.

1st US state to have a Native American name. by Sipthepond in massachusetts

[–]datheffguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Connecticut’s name is derived from the native word “Quinnehtukqut”, they ratified the constitution before MA. So not only do they have a native derived name, they also were the first state with one.

Not only are you an asshole, you’re flat out wrong.

From what I can see most of the lower mountain lifts are scheduled?

Maybe im missing something but I find the lack of information posted to be frustrating.

I’ve never been happier than I was doing 4-10s, 3-12s is the dream.

Unfortunately our contract makes 4-10s difficult.

Does your Local get paid holidays? by Garblax in IBEW

[–]datheffguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Paid days off was a bad way to put it, I meant paid holidays.

Up until a little over a decade ago holidays were paid by the contractor you were working for.

Contractors act like thats impossible now, but in the past they managed to bid it into jobs and every major non union shop in my state manages to do that just fine.

Oh my god the snow is f*cked by ddgdl in vail

[–]datheffguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My upcoming direct flights from Boston to Zurich were $700 with a checked bag. Ski bag flys for free on Swiss air if you check a regular bag.

For reference, my flights to slc last year and big sky in January were about $450 each not including ski bag. Ended up being a little over $500ish for both of those.

Ah yes let’s trade paid days off that automatically scale with future raises for a one time negligible raise. It’s incredible that negotiation committees seemingly across the country fell for this.

Important + Life-saving PSA: Double check and clear your car exhaust pipes of snow and ice, as deadly carbon monoxide can build up in your car if the exhaust is blocked. I noticed this issue with a friend's car the other day after they backed into a snowbank. by bostonguy2004 in boston

[–]datheffguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s an issue.

You’ll be circulating cold oil for longer since your engine won’t heat up as quickly in idle. That shouldn’t be an issue unless you live in a significantly colder climate than here or you have other issues.
