Thank you Brazil for playing a constructive role in building world peace.
We'll take whatever help we can get in Ukraine. Especially from a BRIC nation.

Reply to Suffolk or Umass Boston? by [deleted]
I went to Suffolk and lived in the dorms for 2 of my 4 undergrad years, as well as later getting an MPA at the Business School. I also worked there as a Staff member for years.
I would say it really depends on your program and trajectory. If you are trying to figure out what you want to do, go to UMASS Boston for cost and exploration and transfer elsewhere.
I was interested in a career in politics/public service and Suffolk's location, program, and connections locally were amazing. The campus is also in the heart of the city and at this point they have 4 or 5 beautiful dorms on Beacon Hill, Tremont St, City Hall Plaza, and the Theatre District.
Being within a 5-15 minute walk from City Hall, The State House, and multiple major state and federal agencies was a godsend for internships and jobs.
It was also expensive. Again there are some great programs at Suffolk - but your program needs to be a strength of the school to be worth it.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Massachusetts is running an experiment called:
"What happens if we gentrify an entire metro area of 2-4 million people."
Tune in to hear the results from Florida, Southern NH, Providence area, and Worcester.

Reply to Mass. GOP in disarray: Party may have $600,000 in debts, misreported hundreds of thousands in spending, memo says - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito
Surprise.
A state party structure that wholesale endorsed Trump's ponzi scheme, con-man, corrupt attitude ends up behaving the same way. They won't be the last state org with similar results.
Shocked Pikachu face 🙂.
You lay down with the dogs, you get fleas.

Reply to Does Anybody Know What This Van Is Used For? I Keep Seeing It Parked In Chinatown With A Ton Of Stuff In It. by MussleGeeYem
Seems reasonable to suspect it is used to store things or transport people. You know, like every vehicle on the planet.
There is a weird undertone to this question.

Reply to Boston college has a policy that employees' kids can attend for free, as long as they are accepted. This janitor has five kids, all of whom got in, saving nearly $700k in tuition. by ClnclyDprsd420
Suffolk University had this policy too - until they outsourced all of their HVAC, facilities, and food services staff and cut the benefit to the incoming staff.

Reply to Renewables provided almost 23% of US electrical generation by Wagamaga
People also forget that a lot of that % is sort of a misnomer.
A huge chunk of it comes from hydro projects, which have existed in the Pacific Northwest, Sun Belt, Tennessee Valley, and New England/Quebec region for more than a generation.
If you subtract those long standing projects from the calculation, I would guess the number of modern projects accounts for closer to 10% of current generation.
