    Reasons You Stopped Going To Bars/Clubs?

    I still go, but to select bars. I prefer quieter places, I guess pubs would be a more accurate term. Usually when we go, we go for dinner and stay after for drinks. Though I will say I've had some really good times at bars. Like loud music and tons of people. I think those days are behind...

    Anyone have a Nielsen box?

    My parents (and thus I) did it for a while. When we did we used little booklets, it was long before the fancy boxes. I'd like to think my dad and I were responsible for more sci-fi since all we watched was Sci-Fi. It was just before SG-Atlantis, BSG and such. I'm not sure I would do it again...

    How much do you drink when you're the designated driver?

    I usually go out in the city, and either walk or take public transit. So usually no DD. On the rare occasions I am DD, I sometimes have 1 beer when we get there if we will be there for more than 4-6 hours, otherwise nothing but water, juice and tea.

    Comcast secretly turning your router into free public wifi?

    Can anyone attest to how well these work? Comcast's site says their compatible, but are they going to create issues for me for using it over their modem? I have had the modem free for the past year, and I didn't worry about it since I figured I would be canceling my service after this year...

    Attention ATOT Bostonians

    Both Dorchester and JP vary greatly depending on the area. Remember that Dorchester is basically the size of the rest of Boston. Dorchester has some really bad areas, and some really nice areas. JP is similar (though the bad aren't as bad as some areas in Dorchester). Check out crime maps of...

    Vacation - Where are you going?

    My parents have always used an agent, and I've gotten in the practice of using the same one. She finds deals that are amazing. What my parents do is they keep her informed of their vacations, and their list of places they want to travel, and when she finds stuff meeting that criteria, she...

    Attention ATOT Bostonians

    You must have driven almost exclusively on Rt 3. That is the only place that happens, except for a couple exits on the northbound Expressway. It happens because the on ramps are so short. It's not possible on some of the ramps to safely hit 75-80 mph on the on ramp, thus why people slow. And...

    Attention ATOT Bostonians

    Has nothing to do with MIT. It has everything to do with a city not setup in the least for cyclists and people (both drivers and cyclists) being unaware of laws. Most notably that it is illegal for cyclists to run red lights, and perfectly legal for cyclists to take up the entire lane (despite...

    Join a membership type store like Costco for groceries?

    I find that I need to be careful what I buy where. My general rule of thumb is non-branded, not commonly couponed products only at BJs. So basically rice, flour, meats (sometimes), vegetables, beans, etc. Notable exceptions to this rule are olive oil, which always seems to be cheaper at BJs...

    Attention ATOT Bostonians

    I second Bova's. One of my favorite places in the North End. To get there: go down Hanover St, turn down Prince St on the side of St Leonards (the church). Walk down a block. Enjoy delicious pastries/sandwiches/breads.

    Attention ATOT Bostonians

    If you go to the North End to eat, I suggest Ricardos or Artu. Both are off of Hanover St (the main st through the North End), but you can find them easy enough on Google maps. If you go to the MFA, also check out the Isabel Gardner museum behind it. You have to walk a few hundred feet...

    Need new sunglasses, don't want to spend a ton of $

    I find that if you get safety glasses that are polarized, it's way cheaper than buying sunglasses. And they wrap all the way around your eyes. My current pair I got free at work, but you can buy similar ones for about $20-$25 at places like Tractor Supply or maybe even Home Depot. Amazon has...

    What is the oldest thing you own?

    Similar for me. I have my grandmother's cast iron skillet, who got it from her mother (great grandmother), who got it from her mother (great-great grandmother) as a wedding gift. We don't know if my great-great grandmother used it before she gave it, or if she bought it new as a present. I...

    Cat is dying - need advice re: putting him down

    I fear the day that we have to put my cat down (well, I guess she's more my parents cat now, since I don't live there anymore). She's a tough cookie though. Turned 19 last month, and only has arthritis and some controlled kidney and thyroid issues. Still hunts too. But I know the day is...

    Please give me suggestions on books to read. SciFi/Fantasy.

    First off, check out Baen's free library (if you have an e-reader/phone/computer) http://www.baenebooks.com/c-1-free-library.aspx I have a very similar liking of books to you. Try anything in Ben Bova's main line of writing (Grand Universe or something). The first one is Rock Rats (iirc). I...

    Is my labmate commiting fraud?

    Some insurance companies and/or states offer rewards for people reporting fraud. Maybe you could get a new iPhone :D And your labmate is an idiot, especially for bragging about it.

    Trex decking

    My aunt and uncle have a trex deck, and are planning another one. I'm helping them plan it. They have been looking at the Transcend as well. In NH, the cost of the Trex or any of the higher end composites/plastics is about 4x the cost of the PT. The one they've had has faded a bit, but not...

    Olivia Sprauer, Former Teacher, Forced To Resign After Bikini Modeling Photo Surfaces

    True. Sometimes I get a little overzealous when people think teachers have it wicked easy because I see all of the blood, sweat and tears that goes into it that few people note. We all have our buttons that get pressed. This happens to be mine. Also, as noted above, it does vary A LOT on...

    Olivia Sprauer, Former Teacher, Forced To Resign After Bikini Modeling Photo Surfaces

    Once you factor in the before and after year professional development, it works out to working about 10 months a year (last week of August to last week of June, usually). So ~83% of the time that I work. Yet significantly less. I should also note that for the majority of teachers, their...

    My parents have been teaching for 30 years each (they're retiring this year). My dad has a masters degree. I just graduated college with a bachelors in civil engineering (usually the lowest paid engineers as well). I make (or made before I got laid off) 75% of what they do together. My...

    Why are there few, if any islands between Brazil and Africa and Africa and Australia?

    In addition to "hot spots" where there is basically a plume of magma that broke through a weaker spot in the crust and bubbles up. Though the hot spot doesn't move, the plate does, forming island chains like Hawaii. Many Pacific islands are or were caused this way.

    For some reason, we have this screwed up notion that teachers are perfect angels who never do anything remotely un-family friendly. So stupid.

    Worst start to a year I have every had

    I'm sorry for your shitty situation. Mine has been similar (but not as bad), so I feel your pain. I've lost a close family friend and mentor to me in early April, without being able to say goodbye. My grandmother has continued to receive worse news about her cancer with every test and scan...

    letter from the school. daughters grades. am i wrong?

    When I took Spanish I had a horrible teacher. In high school, which required 2 years of language, I took German because the teacher who taught it, treated it like a useful language. We watched movies in German, read books, etc. I learned more in my 2 years of German than my gf learned in her...

    letter from the school. daughters grades. am i wrong?

    I would be more angry that the teacher blames gymnastics. Does the teacher provide any proof that gymnastics is the cause? Because with the information you presented, it doesn't seem to be an issue. It just seems like your daughter doesn't like either Spanish in general, or the teacher...

    MBTI-personality types

    I am also an INTJ. I've taken quite a few of these over the past few years, starting in my high school psychology class. I've been an INTJ since the first time I took it. However, I've become less introverted (noticeable in both the testing results and everyday life). EDIT: Just retook it...

    how come there's no fast food pasta

    There are a few fast service pasta places in Boston. Most are you walk in, select a pasta, then a sauce, then other things (meatballs, chicken, cheese, etc). There is one I used to go to regularly called Blackjack Pasta. It is not a chain (unfortunately).

    should k-12 lunches be open to gen pub?

    We had it in NH. It was, without a doubt, my favorite meal in school. It even beat out the pizza (which our lunch ladies cooked perfectly, no burnt ones). This is the pizza to which I refer. I loved those too. Honestly, in high school, I just loved food. I'd eat constantly. I can't do...

    Bread machines

    I have an ancient bread machine called "The Bread Oven" by WELBILT. It's at least 15 years old. My mom gave it to me when she upgraded. It's not as fancy as the newer models, but it gets the job done. Think I will be making some bread this afternoon too.

    Unless they stained or dyed the concrete, no, the paper is still there. And it will retain the shape of the bag if thrown in water, because it will get fully hydrated. By building said wall and spraying it down, it may not fully hydrate (depending how much water is put on it). If it doesn't...

    Lowes: 60lb concrete mix $2, 80lb $3.90

    Yes and no, assuming you're talking about the footing as the lip. It depends on the type of retaining wall. For a gravity wall, it doesn't need the lip (just a ton of weight). The footings (both slope and not-slope side) provide extra weight and moment forces, effectively replacing extra...

    Does a sump pump require a dedicated circuit?

    The only times I've seen normal sized sump pumps on dedicated circuits is when they are connected to a battery or generator (intended just for the sump pump). Whether or not that meets your local code, I don't know.
