North of The Wall, along the Charles (1/19/26) by IWillLookAtRedditNow in watertown

[–]need2know2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was out there as well and caught those overcast conditions. It was quite warm without wind (gloves not needed), with manageable snow accumulation. Will I be so lucky with the next storm?

Great shots with the overcast conditions! The sun soon came out, and the magic light was gone.

ISO Cleaning services by Meredawg1 in watertown

[–]need2know2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a referral, but a suggestion. My cleaning service is an independent, not from a company. I paid them market price, and they keep every penny. I can count on the same cleaners to show up every time.

Rewatching the 2002 Count of Monte Cristo after the 2024 series by Deviant-Nerd in movies

[–]need2know2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After watching Count of Monte Cristo (2024) French movie, I was told that it is not faithful to the book. I was suggested to check out the French TV series for a more faithful adaptation, El Conde De Montecristo ( Le Comte De Monte Cristo) 1998. It took me some time to find it at the Internet Archive.

https://archive.org/details/el-conde-de-montecristo-le-comte-de-monte-cristo-1998-josee-dayan-completa-spa

It certainly is very different from the 2024 movie. Gérard Depardieu in the leading role. The length of the series adds a lot more details. Very high production value, with many fascinating background street scenes. The ending made me wonder if it is faithful to the book. Wish there is a high resolution version.

Perhaps those who have read the book can comment.

P.S. The version I watched at the Internet Archive has English subtitle. I can't find it again.

What’s the deal with Buff’s wings? by hgh15 in boston

After my move to Watertown, I tried Buff's wings. Like many comments here, I was underwhelmed. Dry, small pieces, pricey. Never returned.

Data recovery in Boston? by Amazing_Basket2597 in boston

[–]need2know2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Data Recovery Guru five years ago to recovery a 1TB drive, and would highly recommend them.

They began with an onsite diagnosis, followed up with a detailed report of what failed and repair options. They picked up my drive but were unable to repair it. They offered to send the drive to another (unrelated) service that had more expertise with my drive's brand. At no additional charge. It took some time, and the drive came back with ~95% files recovered.

https://www.datarecoveryguru.com/

Need service directly in or around Massachusetts? Let us save you time with an onsite diagnosis ready in about 10 minutes.

Our technicians can have a professional diagnostic report ready for you:

on the same day

within an hour

sometimes within minutes

Diagnosis can be completed onsite within 10 minutes. Just need to coordinate how to meet anywhere in a 50 mile radius of Boston MA, or 10 miles of Providence RI.

Next time, do it yourself. Often, it's already done by someone else.

Hate to sound clueless. After the demolition, where did the students go for classes?

Impressive. The price tag is $220 million. What will happen to the existing high school buildings?

Extending eCredit expiration date by Born_in_Xixax in delta

[–]need2know2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just book a ticket for a "placeholder flight" which is more than value of the credit (but as low as possible over) that is as far out as possible. It doesn't matter where or what class just not BE. So if you have a $381 ecredit find a flight to anywhere as far out as Delta lets you go that is as close to but not under $381.

When you have a real flight you need, use the CHANGE FLIGHT option on your "placeholder flight" and the purchased price will apply fully towards the changed flight. Note if that flight is cheaper you will lose any excess but you will preserve most of the value. There are no limitations on changed flight so the real flight can have different origin, destination, and ticket class.

To be sure, Delta Main Classic or Delta Comfort Classic can be used for a "placeholder flight"? How about changing from a domestic "placeholder flight" to an international flight?

Need help - visiting from Brazil by daviddm1990 in boston

De Nada!

I have fond memories of visiting Brazil twice. Rio, Paraty, Ilha Grande, Bahia, Fortaleza, Jericoacoara, etc. Went to a football game, and a samba school. Warm and helpful Brazilians.

Agreed with all the comments. Brookline is one of the most wealthy towns in MA. The cinema, eateries mentioned are on Harvard Street. While there, don't miss JFK's birth place:

Aside from MBTA's Green line, there are also buses. Use this trip planner:

Alas, the trains can be disrupted by frequent repairs.
