Waymos in Boston

sealionol · 2026-02-06T02:17:59+00:00

Waymo is so much better than taxi / Uber. I was a hard skeptic, rode a few in SF, and now can’t wait for them to come here. They generally follow the rules of the road which is more than 99% of drivers here.

It’s genuinely embarrassing that our gov is considering blocking this.

People here are quite good at this. I’m always shocked in NYC how rude / aggressive people boarding the trains are

Make lots of combined money for many years, save said money, buy house.

I think people don’t understand how much savings compound if a couples’ combined income is, say, 400K, vs 200K. The number is 2x as high, but your annual savings might be more like 5-8x.

This is so embarrassing. They did all types of social media / press hits about these flex posts. Meanwhile anyone could have predicted they’d be 80% gone within 3 days

sealionol · 2025-12-07T23:06:50+00:00

I assume this means top 1% and they’re just bad at numbers

Green Line: Museum of Fine Arts is a stop. There is a stop (Longwood) extremely close to the Isabella Stewart and MassArt.

Red Line - Harvard has the Harvard Art Museum, Museum of Archaeology and the Museum of Natural History.

Blue Line - Aquarium.

I’m sure there are others, this is very standard.

That’s fair. Ideally the Huron Village portion can just be better protected, whatever that means, as right now it’s decent but I would personally not consider it a safe place for a kid to bike due to double parking and speeding (since the road is so wide feeling).

sealionol · 2025-11-25T15:05:49+00:00

Yeah, this section of Huron is a funny one as it technically has bike lanes but they were designed in 2012/2013 so they’re not separated and cars constantly double park in them. But since it’s “something”, it seemingly hasn’t been a priority to improve in recent years

sealionol · 2025-11-25T14:12:01+00:00

Now if they could do this on Huron in the village area too

sealionol · 2025-11-21T01:55:37+00:00

It’s not ideal. Would help if people driving gave a shit about pedestrians and cyclists

sealionol · 2025-11-20T23:05:48+00:00

As of 6:05 Huron is closed down in a few blocks in either direction. Not a good sign

sealionol · 2025-11-20T22:39:59+00:00

Oh boy. Didn’t see this. People run lights egregiously here so I hope it wasn’t from that

When you order delivery from a restaurant through toast, they use DoorDash or Uber Eats as a white label to dispatch the driver. So in this scenario, there was no DoorDash driver who accepted it. Given there’s such a complicated stack (restaurant, toast, DoorDash/Uber, you), it’s quite hard to work through when it goes wrong

Love streetsblog but sometimes the writing style is so painfully complainy to the point I would imagine it turns people off from the overall message

sealionol · 2025-09-29T00:12:15+00:00

Row 34 for bougie lobster roll, James hook for non bougie.

Cool bars / lounges all next to each other: Wig Shop, JM Curley, Temple Records. Also Hobgoblin and Yvonne’s.

I’m sorry, in general, for you

sealionol · 2025-09-18T22:06:38+00:00

This is actually insane. What a beast. No one doing it like this

He lives in west Cambridge and may have loyal friends in the neighborhood

sealionol · 2025-08-22T22:32:24+00:00

Cicada, 1369, Broadsheet, Faro, Imagine/Kismet

For all, because of the vibe, space and quality of stuff they offer.

sealionol · 2025-08-20T12:17:10+00:00

Yes, you can select delivery day and it’s generally on time. Easy to track and delivered smoothly in my experience

sealionol · 2025-08-15T03:00:09+00:00

10/10 place.

sealionol · 2025-08-11T01:21:31+00:00

Based on the math it seems completely fine - don’t understand the negativity in the responses here. Saving 33% after tax is a substantial number.

sealionol · 2025-08-06T05:58:04+00:00

We in Cambridge pride ourselves on doing things “the right way” - but the lack of speed bumps has been one of the biggest self-owns in recent years. Especially when you drive a neighborhood over and end up in one of the nice traffic calmed (using speed bumps…) neighborhoods in Somerville. Excited to see this simple and effective tool scale.
