250K and safe. You must choose one of these things or you will be disappointed. Western mass has more options and I like the vibe better personally. More rural/cozy towns out there.

Nice

Parking is 40 a day and commuter rail is 26 between fare and parking. My office is near DTX in Boston so that’s a good 3 hrs as well round trip. It is a ton of money but we also live in a cheaper house so the savings are massive when you factor in housing costs.

Honestly wtf do people want her to do? She’s not responsible for parenting shitty kids whose parents have failed them. How is she ignoring members of the black community exactly? She’s not “doing nothing”

Have you seen Plymouth Rock? It’s the most majestic thing I’ve ever seen in my life and it’s right by the coast

Hahah I neglected to mention. I’ll do maybe once a month through a touch less wash and a good DIY 2 bucket wash twice a year.

In order of durability, paint protection film > ceramic coating > sealant > wax. PPF isn't worth it unless it's a really high-end car IMO. If you care about your car, I'd get it detailed professionally and have it ceramic coated. I personally don't really care, so I just wash it really well once or twice a year, clay bar it, polish it using Rupes sealant.

You should check-in with the front office to see if it'd be cool if you sold weed to the students

Nope but they are everywhere!

Nothing like waking up to the sound of a straight piped 6th gen Civic that only drives in 1st gear

Concrobium Mold Control is a good product and available in most big box stores. You can spray it on, let it dry fully and then wipe it off with a paper towel. Mold is not that big a deal if it's just one little area.

am Korean and my mom makes homemade kimchi, but H Mart Quincy might be a good place to look. I used to hit up H Mart Burlington all the time. At the very least you'll get some authentic stuff. Have tried generic brands from the grocery and they taste really weird.

Lmao thanks lil bud

The founder's and now son's house in Leverett is an incredible display of wealth

8 head units makes that number make more sense. We have just two-- one upstairs and one downstairs for 1700 sq ft. It does fine IMO. We supplement with space heaters when needed. I feel like you could get away with fewer head units. 8 seems insane.

Especially sad when they don't know how to engage 4L or lockers when they have them

Median sale price was just under 700K in Falmouth in recent data even with astronomical mortgage rates. It's also important to note that we have created an incredible amount of money + wealth in financial assets in the last 10 yrs. Even with the recent bear market in growth stocks, Apple was trading below $20 a share in 2013 and is now 130ish after having spiked all the way to $180 in 2021 The S&P 500 has more than tripled since the low in 2012. So when put in context, I'm not very surprised that houses have gone way up in nominal terms.

The people who have truly been f---ed over, are the people who have been making the same income for the past 10 yrs without promotions or wage increases and benefits largely unchanged. Folks living hand-to-mouth also have very little participation in financial assets like stocks/real estate, so this is truly a triple whammy when you also factor in COL increases due to food/energy/rent.

Yep, my neighbor has propane as a backup and seems to work for his solar + heat pump setup. I would check out heat pump water heater if you can get 750 off

Got Mitsubishi minisplits at our place last year which I found out no longer qualify for the rebate. Put a Bosch system in to replace an old AC ducted system literally yesterday at our rental and made damn sure the AHRI is on the qualified list this time.

Def nice to have a nat gas boiler on extremely cold days. The efficiency of even the best HP today drops significantly the colder it gets. I’d go IBC combi if you need both a water heater and gas boiler. We have oil heat and I plan on removing the tank and boiler down the road or converting to wood pellets.

I believe in 2023 you can get 750 back for a heat pump water heater as well which can also help control humidity in a basement.

Have visited rural West Virginia and can confirm it is a shithole

What are your interests? I Always find it easier to find common ground if you join a club of some sort or if you become a gym rat and run into the same people over time. I guarantee if you look hard enough, you’ll be able to find any niche in this city.

Haven’t played drums in 15 years but am down to be drummer in a band that only plays Chevelle and Breaking Benjamin covers and nothing else.
