Ha, it's probably been ~10 years since I've eaten any "food" from Dunkin.

I can not fathom how it could possibly be worse than the last time I attempted to eat something there.

Their food has been a horrible afterthought at best for as long as I can remember.

People in the US that are that difficult to understand are pretty rare. Not very many people are going to be confused by a Boston / NYC accent.

This, however...

Probably the most unusual accents in the US are the ocracoke islands and what you find in deep Appalachian areas, but Ireland and Scotland easily take the cake.

Widespread mass shootings are not a significant problem in the EU. They are in the US.

Europe as a whole has a tiny fraction of the number that occur in the US. It wouldn't shock me if we had 10x as many, but the number there is not zero.

Xfinity can be deprioritized based on usage.

I've found Verizon is still fine, though maybe since 5g has taken over, there may be a few more dead areas due to signal propagation or something. I don't know if they have different frequency bands than they used to.

Just did a speed test now and got 170mbps on Verizon (4/5 bars of 5G). If something is slow where I am sitting right now, it's not a network issue.

The girlfriend has t-mobile - they are drastically improved compared to where they were 15 years ago, but there are still more gaps in rural areas. In urban areas, one carrier may be better than another in one spot and may well be reversed in another.

Google Fi uses t-mobile's network.

Before La Carreta was around, we had Shorty's. Before that it was la hacienda. Things used to be really bad!

Rincon in Manchester.

In Nashua the Mexican food is a lot better than it was 30 years ago, but it's pretty standard fare. La Carreta is representative of the "good" Mexican food around here. Tapatio is about the same, Mi Jalisco is a bit better I think.

You might have some luck in one of the bodegas downtown, a couple of them sell a few things like tacos and they are pretty good.

For tacos I like California burrito overall, but Baja Taco has tasty birria tacos too.

Avoid La Hacienda at all costs, and Tortilla Flat in Merrimack is another "old" Mexican restaurant that never got better. Those places earn their living from townies drinking margaritas. Margaritas is also not good food.

I was clarifying what they were saying. That's all.

Given the distance earth is from the moon, the gravity it imparts on a small mass like a baseball is also going to be a rounding error on a rounding error. It isn't nothing but it may as well be.

What they are saying is that if you have an object that is big enough to impart some gravitational pull it would then start affecting escape velocity for that object. E.g. The escape velocity of Phobos is 25 miles per hour or something like that ( it's big enough to have some gravitational effect). The escape velocity of Phobos from the surface of the moon would likely be a bit different than that of a baseball.

It all fits together, I don't think they misunderstood you.

No, they are saying that the baseball is too small for the baseball's gravity to be relevant here.

Hayward's in Nashua has it all the time, when they are open (Other locations may not). It's a bit pricier than going to the supermarket, but it's also better.

Kimball Farm has it too - probably at all of their locations. Jaffrey is convenient for the monadnock region, and Westford MA isn't too much of a drive from south central. If you've never been to the Westford location, it's a complete zoo. Just a warning!

The Soul has a buzzy little 4 cylinder engine, if you're coming from a nicer car you're probably going to find it's noisy and slow...

That alone doesn't make it a bad car, though. You could always try a Mitsubishi Mirage.

Would it make you feel better if you knew that the jet engines that power the 747-800 are from the series of engines that also powers the 787?

Cars are not built to the same standards as aircraft. It's a totally different world.

Why? Do you think it isn't built to the same standards as the rest of them?

Have you read your lease contract? It contains all of the information you're looking for. Every lease is potentially different. The terms for ending the lease early are going to be in there.

Odds are you aren't going to be able to just walk away.

Just because something is unsurprising does not mean that there is no value to actually knowing.

I would add French Hill to the list.

French Hill is the area around Margaritas heading towards Hudson.

It's nothing horrifying at all, but the bad areas of Nashua are like "Make sure nothing valuable is in your car" sorts of areas, not "don't walk around in the evening" sorts of places.

Northeast Nashua (north of French Hill) is pretty nice, though.

With a 450k budget you're not going to get stuck in a bad area. Whoever said "starter homes are 450k" is exaggerating the housing market here by a fair bit. Things are expensive though.

If you want convenience, go near the highway. If you want a quieter area, Nashua is still pretty damn convenient but you won't be out in the sticks.

Depends by whose standards.

It's plenty of space for a family, it's just not huge in American terms.

Here are a few. I'm not in to r&b or rap, but these are more on the jazzy side. They will all lead you in different directions.

Snarky Puppy - Shofukan

Plaid - Shackbu

Herbie Hancock - Chameleon

Tigran Hamasyan - Double-Faced

Active noise cancelling headphones do not filter out all sounds. In fact, many loud tools are not going to be affected at all.

And there in lies the crux of the matter. Active noise cancelling doesn't stop all noise. They also have limits in terms of how much sound and what types of sound they can cancel out.

It is hard to make a claim that they protect your hearing when they don't protect your hearing consistently.

I think your problem here is that you're assuming that space is a perfect vacuum. It isn't. There is material floating around out there, and the atoms floating around in space are not at absolute zero.

So I think you're making an assumption on how much of a vacuum space is compared to how much it really is.

And yes, there isn't much stuff in space. In interplanetary space there are about 5 particles per cubic centimeter, and outside our solar system it is significantly less density than that.

It's actually not distortion introduced by the lens directly - the actual cause is the camera being closer to the object.- in this case doggo snoot.

Now, to frame it so the subject is the same nominal size.

To see this, take a picture with the wide angle from the same distance as the regular lens and then crop it. Sure, it'll look a lot worse, but the perspective will be the same!

You can also earn more money in the southern part of the state. Particularly if you work in MA...
