Ask people in UK about Brexit

Yea they have that stuff at the hmart in Burlington. It's on the left of the entrance. It's that deep fried cheese corn dog on a stick whatever..... Ugh

iT's A jOkE bRo.

Classic defense for weakness.

Which insecurity are you compensating for with all this oozing sense of false confidence?

Permanently closed

? I looked it up and it says permanently closed

NACA is the best program for FTHB but the process is very long... If you don't mind the year long process then go through this program but If you want to be ready to buy this summer then it can be tough.

Are you saying I can keep my 8-5 mon-fri office job and work at your job too?

Zhu in Arlington is an all vegan chinese restaurants where they cook all traditional american-chinese food with seitan, soy protein and tofu as meat alternatives. Further north of this, I dont know of any full vegan restaurant.

$1000 for a 3600sqft house is about right. My last bill was around $350 for a 1400 sqft with all heat pump and your house is almost 2.5x bigger than mine. You're spending a lot of money to heat a lot of empty rooms unless your household is huge. Upgrading to a new system will add more bills, especially if you're not qualified for mass save which I don't know how that's possible... I thought the rebate was for everyone.

The only way to lower those bills is going to be through labor. Install a fireplace insert and freestanding wood stove and start chopping woods. There are tons of people who would love to give you free wood if you can remove their logs and split it yourself.

Are you sure you aren't talking about heat pumps with inverters? These days they're fully efficient down to -15F, at least mine is.

Indeed but don't stop there, do it for food stamps, shelter, healthcare, energy, etc... Socialize all essential services.

Feel free to own the roads and make your own rules.

Considering you're from Vegas and Idaho, I suggest you visit all the port towns now that you live right next to the ocean. Massachusetts port towns have a lot of charms with Newburyport being the closest one to you. I would just look on the map and visit the most dense areas right on the coast: Salem, cape cod, Provincetown, Marblehead, Situate, etc.... These places are especially nice in the summer and fall.

History is everywhere in Massachusetts as we are one of the oldest state, even the woods have history.

For nature stuff, I prefer western Mass and Maine over New Hampshire. New Hampshire is kinda touristy and their landscape is full of new monoculture forests due to the whole state being logged at one point. The mountains are nice but it gets old. Maine has more charms and feels closer to nature than NH does, same with western Mass.

With that said, welcome to Mass. Feel free to reach out for recommendations as I've lived close to Haverhill my whole life.

Another vote for heat pump water heater. I'll be getting it next year with the state and federal rebate.

I still wear masks when I remember to so not yet

I see teachers have to buy their own supplies for their classes while police get a huge fucking command center which they fuck around on during events. How about you share some of your "support" to equally if not more important men and women of society that doesn't get the same media propaganda? What about healthcare? Mental healthcare? Social workers? Teachers? Forest rangers? Sanitation workers? I could point out more social occupations that our society needs but aren't a focus of the media's tool for brainwashing. They all have more effect on your daily lives than law enforcement: keeping your street clean, keeping us healthy, our children educated, our infrastructure intact, etc...

Get your mind out of the gutter and leave the herd.

The layers come off as you're shoveling. It's quite a workout.

Well that's my experience outside of Orlando FL. As for unaffordability, I don't have an opinion there. I know many people who exist in this state as single parents with multiple kids and then there's those that don't think they can exist because they aren't getting the best schools with the best neighborhoods and going out to $$$ restaurants. People have different needs and level of tolerance and adaptability.

In my experience, the most affordable place to live is wherever you have the most family. People you know who take care of each other. I think that's what culture means to some, people who you're familiar with and share the same interests. It's not the museums or fancy coffee shops or venues but activities that bring people who shares the same interest as you together. For example when mayor Wu close down a street and turns it into one big street food and open market area, bringing out many foodies. It's inexpensive because we all need to get there by public transportation and many businesses being in one location create more competition and choices for consumers.

Then there's a sense of freedom from anonymity. A place booming with a diverse culture provides a sense of freedom to do or be whatever you want without feeling of being judged. One can enjoy being alone without feeling lonely. It's a difference between dining alone at a crowded bar vs an empty restaurant. A place where you walk in and no one notices vs a place where everyone turns their head whenever someone new walks in.

Culture is everything imo. I lived in cheap areas like you mention and it's just so depressing. Cheap areas mean huge spaces, low population and depressing emptiness. It's just sad driving 15 minutes to go to the nearest grocery with huge empty parking lot and empty stores with sad and bored employees. Then there's the restaurants, nothing but chains. Just fast food or average chains everywhere. You'd have tasted all their cuisine within a month of living there. The most social thing most people can do is work and dinner. All of this eventually leads to depression and loneliness and consumption.

Absolutely brutal if you take 90. I used to go from Waltham to Framingham and remember seeing the traffic the other way towards Boston, it's like bumper to bumper every morning.

Meanwhile they'll have no problem sending their children to an organization full of pedos, the church.

When you only focus on the bad
