might be smart to include the style/genre you're playing. "a night of music" doesn't tell me much.

Peter Welch’s or Graelish for boxing. For MMA imo you’re better off learning wrestling and one of the other component arts (jiu jitsu, kickboxing, etc) individually, as opposed to jumping into full MMA right away.

If you aren’t serious about competing then any gym you can go to consistently is good. You should try free trials at all the gyms near you and decide where you the like the vibe.

You’d think, after sticking yourself with a multi year time delay to hire an employee, that you’d want to start that process as soon as possible, instead of letting it get so bad that the federal government had to jump in and tell you you were dangerously understaffed.

I just don’t understand why either party would sign a contract that prevented them from hiring enough people to do the job. Even if it does take such a long time, wouldn’t you take that into consideration and start the process sooner?

Why would they have to renegotiate multiple contracts to hire people? Can’t they join the union and start working?

>Historically, only existing MBTA employees qualify for dispatcher jobs, and Interim General Manager Jeff Gonneville said the agency is exploring the idea of hiring externally for the role.
sounds to me like they haven't hired anyone from outside yet, but instead just trained people from other roles in the org, and now the problem is:
>our vehicle availability and staffing of operators and front-line management
aka they shuffled people around within the mbta to say "look how well we're doing, we have so many dispatchers now," and in the process they moved so many conductors that they can't run enough trains to maintain their old operating schedule. "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

I don’t mean a dance club. I mean if you play chess, you go to a chess club twice a week every week until you make some chess friends. You do not have to drink or do drugs or eat garbage to meet people and engage with your interests.

Broadway rules. There’s also options for 10packs of day passes if you don’t want to commit to unlimited.

Reply to Hardest workout in Boston? by East_Reaction5326
My friend was a high school state champ and penn state wrestler. He went to one spin class with his gf and didn’t know you could adjust the resistance, so he just did the whole hour on max resistance without realizing. He gave himself rhabdo and had to spend several days in the hospital. The moral is, any workout can be as hard as you want it to be.
