I work for a service company that takes care of dozens of different office buildings. When I was an apprentice taking the train into the city between 5:15-6 am the train was always packed with various commuters, ie office personal, security guards, construction workers, etc. From what I hear now, it’s mostly blue collar workers on the train. What I see in the field is offices that were normally packed, now will have maybe 10% of the personnel on site. Usually it’ll be a secretary, IT personnel working in an IDF room, and whoever HAS to be there for a meeting. My mom has worked remotely for 3 years straight. I think a lot of companies used to say for years that their computer systems could not handle the strain of everyone working from home but that clearly was a lie.

I have to drive to Boston/Cambridge everyday for work and I don’t want to drive 2-3 hours one way so I’m kinda forced to try and stay within like a 25 mile radius of Boston

Commuter rail. Route 24 and then the expressway at 5 AM is painful enough, can’t imagine it at 7

I remember one time a kid was randomly talking to me on the green line randomly. BU student from Virginia. He was talking about how people are so unfriendly here. The entire time I’m thinking, “dude why are you talking to me rn”

Pretty sure the max is a 3 inch single edged blade. I personally have been told that 3 inches is more than enough. So you should feel plenty safe with your average Swiss Army knife
