Yeah, good point.

Whoever's there and squishiest has the right of way by default.

New England in general has a moral opposition to road signage.

This is why I don't trust "nice" people. They're the real assholes.

I mean, if someone's in the street I DO go out of my way to not hit them with my car.

Does it matter? Hot take I know but I don't wanna kill someone just because they were jaywalking.

>and McNamara asked the state’s new Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission to decertify the three officers.

I will be interested to see how this new commission goes.

Ah ok, this explains the size and being from Longfellow bridge lol

Beautiful shot!

I think this is where Siri keeps trying to send me when I ask for directions to the mall in Burlington.

Side note, I suspect Siri's trying to kill me.

I'm surprised but impressed their priorities are so in order.

Market Basket is also great.

And where else are they gonna go, Stop and Shop? I mean, come on.

Wow. Having a whole article of bad planning decisions just listed like that was.... I couldn't make it through. Too depressing.

We really can't blame this one on cow paths, either.

I can't wait to see it! I love the story behind the tree.

This year's tree is from Christmas Island in Nova Scotia, which is a really cool coincidence (they're chose from all over in the province, they have very exacting tree criteria).

Nope, you're fine!

Consider posting on NextDoor & a local Facebook group as well. Those tend to be more targeted to location, and have the type of people who spend all day peering out their windows... not always useful traits, but finding lost pets is absolutely their strength.

Some bail funds literally don't factor in the crime. The theory is that bail is immoral; the type of crime it's for doesn't matter. If the person shouldn't be on the streets, they shouldn't be allowed bail to be on the streets.

Obviously, a lot of judges are currently using bail for exactly this, to keep people off the streets, which is exactly what the bail funds are protesting, and I get why that's bad, but.... it does lead to exactly this.

Others consider it case by case, usually because they don't want to do something like pay someone's bail only to have them commit another violent crime.

Yeah, of all the things I'd blame our traffic on, excessive courtesy would not be one of them. I think we can discount that as a problem.

> It's Dorchester, the kid could have found it on the way to the bus stop.

Statistically, way less likely than finding it laying around their own house.

I do think it's more plausible than the Lock Picking Lawyer safe-breaking wunderkind ideas being discussed above though.

I mean, I'm sure most responsible people toss their guns in the Charles after they're done with them for exactly this reason, so a kid doesn't pick one up on their way to school, but you can't count on everyone to be responsible.

> A few thousand a year

...per manufacturer?

The mechanic I use is a one-man shop, and generally works on European imports. I could easy see him refusing to take my Honda if he had to pay a few thousand a year just to work on Hondas.

>Make the manufacturers offer the software for free or for a lower fixed cost.

Yeah, I'd be happy with that.
