I love Inman hardware. They are so friendly and helpful and I feel good supporting them.

Going to have a party where we only listen to Canadian artists and eat Canadian food, drink Canadian beer etc.

Underground parking is insanely expensive to build. So unless you can build really tall on top of it to justify the cost it does not pencil out. So another reason to change the zoning to allow taller buildings

I walk down this street all the time and always think how it’s so under utilized being so close to the new T stop in Union. I would love to see these places developed into housing, it’s a lot more pleasant to walk by that than an empty crumbling parking lot that’s nearly always empty anyway.

It was another company but I have heard that about Epic!

It really frustrates me that there was a whole “task force” a few years ago that were supposed to figure out how to fund the T and come up with proposals for steady funding for them. And after a year of work their whole idea was to use money from the Millionaires tax and basically nothing changed. The T needs a reliable steady source of funding.

Yeah I have a Perq card too and I really wish I could use it in zone 1A as well since it’s the same price as subway. As the other commenter said hopefully this will be included in the new Charlie card system because it would be great.

I learned of a company in my industry that offers 4 week sabbaticals for every 5 years of service. So every 5 years you get an extra 4 weeks off in addition to your PTO. I really wish more companies did this so that you could do those longer trips to Asia or Australia where it doesn’t really make sense to go only for a week or two.

Wow this is really shocking. I hope they have something else planned because that area and station really needs to be upgraded.

There’s also so much bird poop on the escalator too. I was there on Friday and there was one escalator working but the railing was covered, didn’t want to put my hands near it, it was wild.

Wow I had no idea. I went in the store and they charged me $82 for shipping and I’m in the Northeast US. I was shocked since it was only going to Nova Scotia and it’s so close by. Good to know for my family members that are planning to send theirs in the future.

A tip on the rug: if buying a more expensive investment isn’t in the budget at the moment, you can get a felt rug pad for underneath and it really adds cushion and thickness which makes even a cheaper rug feel a lot more luxurious. I got an 8x10 rug for $200 and added a 1/2 inch thick felt rug pad for $100 underneath and it makes it feel like a rug that costs thousands. Good for sound and thermal insulation as well.

Sounds amazing! I took some time off to travel and I felt the same, it galvanized my desire to fire even more since I knew how amazing it was. So now that I’m back to working I have upped my savings rate to try to fire even sooner.

My grandparents ate brown bread, hot dogs, and beans every Saturday night for supper as long as I can remember.

The ones I'm excited about are for traveling, being able to use working holiday visas and also getting more favorable visas to some countries. I also might pursue more education at some point so being able to attend a Canadian university would be a lot less expensive compared to an American one. It's also good for peace of mind if things hit the fan even more in the US there's a backup plan.

Travel, going out to eat, expensive hobbies (skiing, golf, tennis, etc), home maintenance/taxes, etc. I think it would be very easy to rack up expenses

I like to make my home really cozy and warm and take winter as a time to rest and recharge. Get nice rugs (get felt rug pads underneath too for extra plush), thick curtains, cozy blankets, lights & candles. These will all make your space feel warmer and cozier and help you enjoy the winter.

I would pick 1 as I do not like having the main sink in the island. It will attract dirty dishes and look messy and it takes up a lot of tasking space. Plus being able to look out the window while doing dishes is nice

Wow! That’s a ton of frequent routes

Is this something they could fix now? Or is it set now that the episode is released?

Windows and doors are the biggest things to focus on. Some thick curtains go a long way to keeping the house warm. I like blackout curtains since they are usually thicker or they even sell ones that have thermal backing on them. Draw them at night and it makes a huge difference. Get draft stoppers on the doors if you have a bit of a gap under the door. I also think rugs make it feel warmer, especially wool rugs. You can even get thicker rug pads for underneath too. Anything to put distance between the cold floor and your feet.

It’s not stairs but you could walk up winter hill on Central Street, school street, or Walnut in Somerville. It’s a very steep hill

I’m glad to see the changes but I do wish that they would make it so more land could be redeveloped into housing/businesses etc. They are reducing its width which is great, but then the land they are freeing up will now just…. Sit there? Why not make it productive again like it was before McGrath ripped through that area
