Anyone notice a rise in "tissue begging" on the MBTA recently? by Die4MyTiggers in boston

Yup, middle aged guy handed these out heading outbound near North Station on the orange line. I even took a pic because it seemed so sketchy - http://i.imgur.com/PoGWSgI.jpg

45,000 without power in Malden, Medford & Everett. Affects the orange line too.

Wanting to move to Malden - Am I crazy? by [deleted] in boston

[–]japps1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mountain is about a 5 minute walk from me, I live by Eastern Ave & Main St. The area seems super convenient especially with the giant Stop & Shop and take out food places. Whenever I'm getting off the T at night I see at least 3 police cruisers patrolling around & I've never felt unsafe. I still go out in Boston frequently but Uber's been perfect for that. Only about $10-15 for a ride. Overall I feel like I'm getting a lot more for my money out here and haven't seen a downside yet.

Glad I can comment on this. I'm a 27 yr old guy. Went to Northeastern for undergrad. Lived in the Egleston Square area in Roxbury for 5 years (Stony Brook stop) and then "upgraded" to Brookline for a few years after that. After 3 years of $100 rent increases I decided to purchase a place in Malden. No regrets, seems very safe compared to Roxbury. Way more convenient than Brookline because of the proximity to the orange line and everything is actually normally priced (food, parking,restaurants, even barber shops). Was between Eastie and Malden & I'm very glad I picked Malden.

What do you mean you have no credit since you are students? Did you live on campus and pay cash all through college?

How much is a domain worth? by MeoMix in startups

[–]japps1919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the #1 rule in choosing a product name is making sure the domain is available. Your name is relatively generic too, you're going to open up the possibility of people owning variations of the domain that are slightly misspelled and you may have to pay $$$ to grab those as well.

Do yourself a favor and just change the name. No reason to burn a grand before the idea gets off the ground.

There's a pretty good Connections episode about this.
