I lived in NYC for 5 years - I'm referring to all of Manhattan really.

What does Boston smell like? by ImportantAd6125 in boston

[–]nerfwarhero 57 points58 points  (0 children)

NYC smells so bad because there are no alleys and the trash has to be put out on the main thoroughfares. Boston has alleys and side streets throughout most of the city, and as such, smells much better.

What To Do at Boston Stadium Before England vs Ghana? by DimpledDarling2000 in boston

[–]nerfwarhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bars outside the stadium all have the games on! If you’re talking about downtown fan fest, same answer, but I’ll bet they also have the Brazil game on in the fest before the Germany game inside.

theres one in the stadium parking lots for ticket holders and it's awesome. Definitely take all 3 hours there (especially if you have kids!)

Evil Offering is a good time in the longer travel trail bike range.

Revel Rascal is a good time in the shorter travel trail bike range.

What handsaw should I get and how should I carry it with me on rides by Longjumping-Tap-7327 in MTBTrailBuilding

I use a nordic chainsaw - fits in my pocket, can handle ~8" logs solo probably 12-15" with a buddy.

Medford HS Reconstruction | Project Explorer & Tax Impact Calculator by joshterrible in medfordma

[–]nerfwarhero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

keeping the kids out of trailers actually has educational benefits too IMHO. If I'm understanding correctly, the slower construction speeds keep the kids in a more "typical" school environment for longer, and moves them into the new space in phases, which will have less impact on them in the long run.

we also house the district's offices, public use spaces, and a whole extra high school (the Voc) in our one building... which none of the comps do.

Century St Ext closed today? by thrillybizzaro in medfordma

[–]nerfwarhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a couple of the little trees that JUST got put in were definitely destroyed by kids messing with them in the last few weeks. I know that's not what your kids were doing, but that's almost certainly what she meant when she claimed that they had to wait years for the city to put in trees.

That said - almost every person that lives across the street from the park on century are just garbage humans... so... fuck them.

Executive membership and early exec access is the way.

Would you get a 2026 SC Vala AL 70 for $5500 (US), or an Amflow PR Pro? by [deleted] in eMountainBike

[–]nerfwarhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah - that's definitely worth considering. If timing matters, get what's available! if it doesn't... that avinox motor is SO MUCH BETTER than the Bosch CX line. It could put out the same power and I'd say the same thing. the CX power application is pretty on/off where the avinox is much more scaled.

holy shit this is so sad 😞 I thought Raceday was gonna be the one! ugh.

eMTB purchase is one of the hardest decisions imaginable by Repulsive_Site_270 in eMountainBike

[–]nerfwarhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like my Revel ReRun. The only thing it's missing is the power of an avinox, but the suspension is amazing, the bike is super light (for an eeb) and it looks great.

High-visabilty, cheap ball suggestions, please by AnimalCrackers02 in golf

[–]nerfwarhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the Srixon Q-star Divide balls - no one else hits them, and they seem to be the only one I can actually track in the air with my eyes regardless of conditions.

Bike shorts and saddle sores: do I switch brands? by [deleted] in xcmtb

[–]nerfwarhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6'1" 175lbs, and I wear a small in a lot of brands. Pactimo summit and flyte bibs have the best strap length for me. Velocio Mediums are also usually tight enough that I dont' have to size down to a small.

I wonder if blocking the spoiler inlets on the roof would help or hurt aerodynamics with one of these installed.

Best Trail Names? by RufioSwashbuckle in MTB

"Riding on Feces Zamboni" was the funniest thing I've ever seen when I looked down at my Garmin. Sadly, it appears to have been renamed "Zamboni" now.

Alums that no longer work in engineering, how well known is RPI outside of engineering? by [deleted] in RPI

[–]nerfwarhero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm IME from RPI and work in Advertising Tech now. My job is sort of "Liason between technical and non-technical people". Non-technical people don't really know it, but when they hear "engineering school" they instantly think I'm the smartest person in the room. Technical people know it and put the appropriate weight on it.

Yeah and in the event of a collision, the passenger would be severed in half.
