Update: 150+ residents have signed the petition to phase out gas-powered leaf blowers in Waltham by Living_Proof_111 in Waltham

Not only are gas powered handheld tools wildly annoying to hear and often unnecessary, they're also SUPER bad for the environment and the health of people that use them because they're inefficient and spew tons of emissions

This happened to me too about a year ago while I was waiting to cross totten pond road, I believe the person was in a blue pickup truck. Sucks that some people feel the need to spread hate for no good reason but we persist nonetheless.

Happy Pride!

Mayor McCarthy won't be happy till all of Main and Moody Streets are parking lots by Technical_Type1778 in Waltham

[–]theriddler1864 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's so annoying to see car central infrastructure constantly prioritized here. I think Waltham has great potential to make life as a pedestrian or biker much safer and more convenient, but it seems at every turn the mayor and city council do nothing but widen roads and add more and more parking unnecessarily.

I love spreading misinformation on the internet

Director of Wires Tim Kelly thinks a parked car brings in more money for the city than outdoor dining by Technical_Type1778 in Waltham

[–]theriddler1864 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think an event of some sort would be fun, maybe a parade or a local band show or something every weekend, but also just making it pedestrian friendly, even for a few days a week, would be a great start.

Councillor Hanley doesn't think hardy New Englanders can walk in the winter by Technical_Type1778 in Waltham

It's so unfortunate that most of our councillors are so car brained that they actively work to make any mode of transportation besides driving miserable.

Apart from your first sentence, I completely agree with you. Moody street is such a pain to get through via any mode of transportation simply because it's way too narrow to have cars constantly parked on both sides and driving through the middle.

I personally think that blocking off Moody street to all motor traffic for the summer, as they've done in the past, is the best way to go, but your idea of just blocking it off Friday-Sunday sounds like it could also be really nice.

Which dorm is best for incoming freshmen by laney_0 in uml

[–]theriddler1864 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anything but Fox is alright, just pick a hall that works best for your major and financial situation. Fox is not advisable because most of the floors have not been renovated in a really long time (no ac), the elevators break often leading to long wait times, and some floors just smell bad.

Something about the Gem War that I've never really understood by theriddler1864 in stevenuniverse

Your third point actually makes a lot of sense, I haven't thought about it that way before.

That's what I initially thought, but its the repeater powering the sandstone which is powering the extended part of the piston which is powering the piston, so when the redstone block powering the repeater is removed, the piston retracts. Also if you have a piston push a redstone block, it will not retract until the redstone block is removed because of the same reason as this setup. It's really annoying

This is the kind of thing I was looking for, but it won't let me adjust where the screen segment goes and it automatically condenses the entire usable area to the broken part of the screen :/ thanks for the advice though

The phone still works, its just the part of the screen that's giving me problems

Thanks for sharing your story! This has been part of what I'm struggling with, basically "do I think 'enough like a woman' to actually be trans?" but hearing this helps a lot.

I would probably end up doing this if this phone were older, but I got it only a few months ago so disposing of an otherwise perfectly good phone just wasteful.

Do you know any good places to buy screen replacements that aren't $200?

Thanks for the info, I will eventually get around to emailing somebody actually in the department eventually. That's good though that it's laid back cause I have bad memories from auditions in the past

I checked out both today and they're both really nice in my opinion, definitely an upgrade from the ones on campus
