Is it time to remove some of the wordiest (and most annoying) automod responses?

what did you say to me? Say it again you filthy transplant. Yeah i know your type. You probably have Connecticut plates and a Yankees sticker on your car. You brag about how close you live to Fenway Park, but then complain in the sub about how loud the concerts are. How about you and me meet in the parking lot of the 7-11 in Revere and settle this?

I inherited a coin collection from my grandfather and was wondering if there's any shops or places to get these appraised and/or sold? Looks like a lot of them were bought from those cheesy TV ads, and Ebay prices are all over the place, so I'd rather get them looked at.

Hi, I'd really like to get my booster this weekend, but every appointment I can see is not until November 2nd. Does anyone know of anywhere that accepts walkins? What are my chances at a random CVS?

It probably depends a lot where you are. I made my appointment last weekend, assuming that I could easily get my booster this week, but available appointments started in early November. I couldn't find an appointment at a CVS near me at all. It seems to be about the same situation as when the first round of vaccines came out - appointments were harder to come by in the city, and much easier in the suburbs.

I got mine at Union Pharmacy in Newton Center. It was a walk-in, but you can pre-register online with your info. It's a small independent pharmacy, so there might be a little bit of a wait.

Did they raise the speed limit on the red line today? I’m pretty sure we just caught some air heading into Kendall from Charles/MGH.
