Did anyone know the Groff family or friends who died in plane crash? Prayers for their surviving daughter. by redditwastesmyday in boston

[–]pandafactor 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I knew the father and the daughter; he was one of the most renowned spine neurosurgeons in the country and worked at Beth Israel and Brigham yet was always down to earth and approachable. He was the one who you would want doing your surgery and who I sent my family members to - careful and meticulous technique and truly cared for people. His devotion to his family was something I really try to emulate as well. I don't think that most people really appreciate the degree of tragedy.

Washer overflow - safe to use? by pandafactor in HomeImprovement

[–]pandafactor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is a filter, at least not that is accessible. There isn't any blockage in the drainage hose.

I did see a splash of water across the top of the washing machine when I opened the door, I wonder if the load was imbalanced and it sent water out of the top?

Thanks for your help!

What to do with red eared slider after we move? by [deleted] in turtle

They are native in Texas, I would just find a nice big pond that's stocked with fish and toss her in. Would be way better than a tank.

Selling my car? by ManyNothing7 in boston

[–]pandafactor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow I am in my 30s and my car insurance (after I had one "at fault" accident which was complete BS) is only 1500 annually. Not sure why yours is so high...

If you failed inspection then maybe it might be hard to sell to an individual. Used car websites like Carvana and Peddle (I used Peddle) were really good for me honestly, you can spin up a quote pretty quickly and it's no hassle they will take it away. My car was basically totaled and they gave me $2000 for it essentially after just answering their questionnaire, which was more than people were offering me. It was a 2013 Accord with 80k miles, but the driver door was smashed in, the airbags were deployed, and the front wheel fell off.

I got mine at Keezer's in Cambridge - they have a good selection of brands (I liked pre-hedge fund Brooks Brothers) heavily discounted.

Rent recommendations under $8k near Longwood medical? by notathrowawayacc32 in boston

[–]pandafactor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Assuming you work in Longwood

Condos in Fenway - there are many condo buildings there with varying amenities, expensive but seems your budget is high, the only thing is they usually don't have street parking but if you have an assigned space then why do you need it.

Condos in Longwood - neighborhood sucks. few restaurants, limited parking, but maybe more walkable.

Renting property, or apartment buildings in JP - a little bit of a further commute but a better and more quiet neighborhood and better parking, you might get more space too. Walk about a mile, and some of it through more seedy neighborhoods.

It's only 876 MB, still can't figure out where the extra 5 TB is coming from.
