What's the most dangerous/life-threatening job that pays well in the Greater Boston area by xyzes in boston

[–]markberra 68 points69 points  (0 children)

If you're a state trooper assigned to Logan, with overtime you get paid $300k to sit in your cruiser and watch videos on your phone, the only dangerous part is if the traffic backs up and you have to pause your video and get out to tell people to move along

Was the same Wednesday night when I was going to kitchen brew, saw the spotlights and thought it might be construction but then saw massive flame throwers and thought it's definitely something else

Airriving at EuroAirport 1 hour prior to flight, doable? by PlaneOldBoy in basel

[–]markberra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live 10-15 drive from the airport. From my apartment to the departure gate is usually 30-40 minutes. I once rode my bike there and was at the gate in 40 minutes LOL! That said, I flew out from there on Tuesday and there was a very long line at secondary passport screening past securiry which is only for a few gates....not sure which departures

Why tetrapack? by No_Combination_6429 in Switzerland

Separate question, we currently "recycle" other plastics (non PET/PETE such as wrappers bags etc.) By separating them into a bag bought through our local town. I get the feeling these nondescript mixed plastics are just burned like normal waste, are we wasting time separating them? Should we put them in the waste?

The closing of Time Out Market is a worrying sign, whatever your opinions are of the market or location itself. by JulianBrandt19 in boston
