Reply to comment by bcardarella in Comcast left a note stating they plan to dig up my lawn upgrade a line. I don't even have Comcast and I don't want them digging. How can I stop this? by bcardarella
Whether they marked anything doesn't have anything to do with an easement nor does the location of the origin and destination mean that something is/is not an easement.
A utility easement can be implied - that is, not written and recorded at the land registry - because the presence of something (like existing utility lines) implies that an easement must have been intended whether or not it was recorded. For utilities like Comcast, these are permanent/perpetual easements because utilities are public services.
If they don't have existing lines, then, yes, you can force them to seek an easement.
If they do have existing lines and the easement was just never recorded, you can negotiate with them still. For example, you can ask for some standard of how they return the property to you after add their lines. At my family house, we had asked them to use matching sod instead of just patching things over which they happily did.

Maybe burnout has gotten to you throwaway OP. Calling kids "failed", as if their grade is the most important indicator of whether they are or will contribute to society, or the weasel words and strawman kind of arguments, makes it seem like maybe you're just done worn out with teaching.

Subway trains get electric power from an electrified rail or line placed somewhere in the tunnel. Many trains get power from a third rail because they run inside short/small tunnels. Other trains get their electricity from an overhead power rail or power line because the tunnels are taller/larger.
The third rail is a rail that is usually built next to and higher than the two rails that support the train's wheels. The third rail will be on one side of the train but doesn't always stay on the same side of a train. Typically at stations, the third rail is farthest from the platform.
No matter if a train gets its power from a third rail or from an overhead wire, most subway train's get about 600 volt direct current electricity. Some subway lines have lower voltage power and others slightly higher. Because of this high voltage it is very dangerous. (For reference, car batteries are 12 volts, for example.)

There's no third rail on the Green Liner - it's overhead power.

Actually this is on Chuckie Baker. His administration rushed to return to taxpayers that 14%. If he had waited for the Legislature to act like they had said they would, they could've done it in a way to avoid the federal tax liability.

Reply to Wagon bikes by Smart_Product_931
Those bikes are sometimes called:
- Cargo bikes: straight forward name for their function
- Box bikes: straight forward name for their form
They are good for: moving cargo, transporting kids if they aren't of an age to bike independently, grocery hauls.
They aren't great if you rent on or own a small property as it is tough to secure them with out a fair bit of space.
Other kinds of bikes that are good, especially if you are looking to transport kids, are "long tail" bikes that have extended frames over the rear wheel.
And there are a lot of modifications to regular bikes with front and rear racks that can handle quite a bit, especially with some e-assist too.
None of these options are particularly "cheap". But maybe you want to tell us some of the things you're trying to do with a box bike?

That's probably right - Huron connects Brattle and Garden so it would make sense that the group would pass through Huron / Concord.

Reply to Cambridge sucks and I don't understand why TF people live here instead of in a warmer state by [deleted]
Why do people live anywhere in the US? Typically because either (1) they have some family roots there or (2) there's significant economic/job opportunities.
Those other regions specialize in different economic sectors than greater Boston or specifically Cambridge. There's not much economic value to create in data science in Florida or bio-tech/pharma in much of Tejas.

Reply to comment by MattD in Commute advice: Oak Grove area to halfway between Central/Kendall by MattD
I am a bus or Blue biker so i don't know much about scooters. i do see some folks taking a scooter on Washington St in Somerville. Not sure how far they are going.
Personal assessment: I would be concerned about pavement conditions, there's a lot of construction going on along Washington Street. Not sure how comfortable i would be on a scooter.
On Blue Bike, Washington Street, to me, is a moderately comfortable street. Not totally comfortable but generally okay with very little door zone biking.

Could split the difference and to OL + Blue Bike.
Transit only is OL to Sullivan + 91 or CT2 depending on how close one is to Vassar Street or Prospect Street in the Ken-Cen area.

That looks to be Parcel V on this conceptual master plan. It looks to be some kind of building facing O'Brien Highway and the other buildings on Gore and Cambridge Streets. Also some sort of plaza facing Cambridge Street. https://www.cambridgema.gov/-/media/Files/CDD/ZoningDevel/SpecialPermits/sp179/sp179_stationplaza_20200413.pdf#page=6
