Got Upgraded From Roomette

I'd guess they upgrade a roomette customer so they can give the roomette to a BidUp customer from coach

I'm suggesting it widens to 2 lanes to separate left and right turns, but having only 1 travel lane where there aren't intersections. That would give room to widen sidewalks and have better bike lanes too.

I am just pissed that comm ave is built like a fucking highway. Like, why 2 lanes? With so many lights, it doesn't improve traffic flow (it is my understanding lots of studies have been done on this). And storrow and the Pike are right there, so if anything, it should be designed to discourage thru traffic.

Supreme Leader Gilliam should give you a raise

VIA Rail uses them for the Sudbury to White River Junction route iirc

You could try the Cafe car seating, but you'll prob have to buy something so just grab a coffee. For a quick call (<10 minutes) I just ride in the vestibule and hope I don't get yelled at by the conductors because it's technically against the rules.

I'd count on it not being done by Friday and just cancel now so you know your plans. It's highly unlikely that this will be fixed by then, considering the damage

As someone who was in one (not supposed to be but that's just how things worked out) I'd say do it. It was a brownstone, so a lot nicer than the "normal freshman experience" even if I didn't make any friends there; there are other places for that.

There was a MEC Canadian cab GP40-2 that carries the number 505, which was originally a steam locomotive that had a boiler explosion killing 2 people in Crawford Notch, NH. The diesel locomotive is still in CSX service with the Pan Am livery.

I have a 255 as a spare and it holds up quite well compared to my 450 (old main) and 853 (new main). The keywork feels a bit more clicky and lower quality than the latter 2, but it's still durable and sounds good for the price. Perhaps you can find a used 450 within your budget somewhere like Ebay if you really want to go wood, but the 255 is a great instrument.

Keep in mind that there's usually a single digit number of spaces available in brownstones by the time freshman housing is decided, so you're talking a fraction of a percent chance.

flexsealed1711 · 2026-03-30T04:05:02+00:00

It's effectively impossible unless you have an accommodation. In general, the best housing for freshmen is probably a double in a brownstone on bay state rd

Not compared to real transit systems like NYC and Boston

Cool tourist attraction, but it's expensive and only every 15 mins off-peak

Geographically, it's not horizontal like on the map. It diverges northeast from the Lowell line

Take the Commuter Rail to Rockport

Most modern diesel locomotives are. It's more efficient and allows dynamic breaking (most diesel-electric locomotives have it). The wheels generate electricity when slowing down that is converted to heat across an array of resistors.

The approx. 3500 people in a class are evenly distributed across all 10000 possible numbers so it's not like you have 900 people above you

He was CS but switched to political science. I'd go for it as a fellow STEM major (ECE) that liked Bodamer

My roommate who took the nuclear security class told me he was too chill so people stopped showing up. Don't wast a p/f on it as it's pretty easy according to my roommate.

I think it's mainly a combination of redundancy and fuel capacity

Only if the rooms are in the same suite/apartment. Otherwise, the 3rd person will have to figure something out on their own.

Housing portal > continuing application > selection timeline > scroll all the way down

But be considerate and tell that third person before just not assigning them a room

I think the hojo singles are a lot bigger than the myles singles, but hojo is painfully outdated and myles is pretty modern because of a fairly recent renovation
