It is impossible to register a car in MA without first having insurance. The RMV-1 form requires proof of insurance before it is complete.

(In the old days, that proof was an actual ink stamp attested by the insurance agent. If you hear the phrase “insurance stamp,” that’s what they mean: proof of insurance. It’s mostly electronic now.)

Those rankings are silly.

I understand your point about cost. For some people, that’s a big factor; for others, it’s not relevant.

Yes, I think it is. I mean, it’s not BU or NEU, and obviously it’s not Harvard or MIT, but it’s perfectly good and benefits from being in a city with such an educated population. I didn’t say excellent; I said good. I stand by that.

They’re not in the same category, really. SU is a good private college, held back by a commuter reputation and the lack of a central campus experience, but has an excellent cadre of professors and instructors drawn from the highly-educated and successful population around it. It’s very connected.

UMB is a functional, basic state college, offering higher education to a broader swath of society. It’s solid. If you choose to go there, you’ll do fine, though it may be a harder functional grind based on location and bureaucratic reputation. (SU also has a bureaucracy that can frustrate, in my experience.)

To a large extent, college gives you what you put in. You can succeed and thrive at either place if you put in the work. UMB is much less expensive. If that’s a factor, it’s a very real difference and not to be ignored.

At the end of the day, it’s nice to have a choice. Congratulations on your acceptances!

“Luxury” condos are the only condos built here since, oh, 2000 anyway. It’s a meaningless word - marketing bullshit.

I have it. Works great, except that the mail is almost always later than informed delivery says it will be. That is, I’ll get photos of mail for “today,” but it doesn’t show up for several days.

My address is like: 123 Big Street, Apartment 3, where each apartment has a box in the lobby.

No, you did the proving, but even this “discussion” is feeding your troll-y endorphins. Stupid me. I’m out.

Thank you for proving my exact point.

That wasn’t disagreement. That was being an ass. For some reason, the word “troll” is preferred.

You are an epic troll. Is it your goal to be offensive with every comment you leave on this sub?

If it were otherwise, the casinos would have to be not-for-profits.

Yes, I was joking.

Mark this NSFW?

Yes MFA and ICA and many others like ISGM, MOS, BCM, Harvard, JFK, and many more. AFAIK, everything’s open. Perhaps March tickets are difficult because of college and private school spring break?

I think it’s reasonable for people to decide how much trust they want to extend, sure.

The substantive issue aside, the FBI might very well have information it can’t share because it’s classified. The FBI sharing or not sharing information about something has very little to do with the merits of that thing.

What school?

This is excellent.

If you didn’t agree to pay the fee (which may be agreed to by using broker services after getting the appropriate notice), then you are in good position to push back. You could tell the lawyer you’re from out of state, never heard of the fee, certainly never agreed to it, and don’t want to pay it. Next move would be theirs.

Question: What is a birth chart reader?

It’s worse now than it was 20 years ago, but I think it’s better than the Fenway. Lots of moving the car around -meters, sweeping, temporary zones- but it’s quite liveable, IMO.

That asking price is a fantasy.

In the interstices. Between cars, between the sidewalk and the street, between the walkway and the fence, between the yards.

Conquered a few times. Had the Temples sacked a couple times. Chased out of their homes repeatedly over the centuries around the continents. Had to adapt or assimilate to survive. I won’t spend time trying to understand the motives of those who would kill us. Res ipsa loquitur.

Those are symptoms, not causes. It happens always, waxing and waning throughout the world over the past several thousand years.
