Honestly it’s a pretty shit town in lots of aspects but if you’re just living there and minding your own business/always in and out of the city it’s good for that. Get a proper whole house filter though, the water sucks… don’t even shower without filtering that water

It’s not about not celebrating, we know that’s when we’ll get a ton of business and we just invite the fam and the workers fam over to the restaurant to celebrate in the dining room together.

Indian and Chinese are open on most American holidays so that would probably be your safest bet. I don’t know this for sure but I’d bet some fast food places open until mid day so you can reheat some stuff

You’re fine.

Don’t just say “studies” without citing them.

What was the reduction and where are those statistics?

Bikers don’t stop at red or stay in their bikes lanes and they’ve got earbuds in both ears. Pedestrians jaywalk. Plenty of examples of things not working in practice but right turn on red atleast allows smooth flow of traffic.

That’s doesn’t change with a no turn on red sign. People do it anyways and often lights are not timed to account for this. We trust drivers to drive 65/70 mph next to each other stacked 4 across on a highway, we’ve been turning right on red here for decades and the rate of accidents isn’t very high from specifically this I would imagine. I pretty much never see right on red drivers not stop or roll down to an incredibly slow roll while checking.

I feel like you don’t really know the meaning of right on red. It’s not, ignore the red light… it’s, if there’s no pedestrian on the right and you have a clear opportunity to make that right turn without interfering with another vehicle’s right of way, you may do so. Safety is built into the meaning. People run reds all the time, people jaywalk all the time, bikers don’t stop at reds. Nothing is safe for anyone

Right turn on red isn’t just “go on red”. It means you are allowed to turn right if you have a clear turn without interfering with someone else’s right of way.

This has nothing to do with no turn on red. Plenty of lights have been changed so that when the right crosswalk has a walk sign, I have a green light to turn but yield to pedestrian. On busy streets (intersection between memorial drive and n Harvard st comes to mind), you’re basically being put in danger by the city who’s decides cars should time their way through pedestrians or not get through the light as only one person usually does along with holding up people behind them who want to go straight… this is instead of just giving cars a full green and THEN give pedestrians the walk. It used to be like that and then they changed it to the current stupid timing.

There’s examples of TONS of this across Cambridge along with no turn on red signs put up for literally no reason. I’ve seen so many intersections with these signs and there’s never a reason why. Not a blind corner, not a protected bike lane on the right, plenty of opportunity from other lights to allow drivers to turn right safely, etc. The people coming up with this are just stupid. So many nonsensical intersections in this city.

If someone is slow in the left lane. Give them 30 seconds then start honking without being an ass. Don’t tailgate them and blind them with high beams. They’ll change lanes. Also if you can move into the right lane to pass them, just do that.

That’s a chart with no study explaining it or it’s testing methodology.

Fuel economy higher at 55 is a myth. It’s depends on the vehicle entirely and the vast majority see increases until 65+. Speed limits are set to allow safe travel based on the flow of traffic, not control mpg. You can EASILY drive 55 average speed and blow through more fuel than someone who drives consciously at 65/70. This, among the other things you’ve said, is a really dumb take.
