Best sandwiches in Boston area and the thing I miss most about living in Davis.

I’d literally never heard of it until today and I hire local graduates consistently. Stay in NC, go to an affordable in state option, and move here once you’ve graduated.

Choose whichever is more affordable for the programs you’re looking for. Any prestige difference will be negligible so look for whatever will set you up best financially for the future.

I recently had to call our hvac/plumber because the furnace wouldn’t cycle on. Turns out one of my kids had accidentally flipped a kill switch in the basement I didn’t even know existed. $300 for him to show up and turn a light switch. Did I feel stupid? Yes, but that’s what you get for eating up an hour of an expert’s time (including travel time) for a small problem.

Excited to see how you deal with your next plumbing emergency without a plumber.

True for things like kitchen appliances as well. You’ll notice The model you get from a supply house or a dedicated appliance store will be called the same thing as at Home Depot but have model numbers that are slightly different. The Home Depot version will be cheaper in price but slightly different (for instance, certain parts are stainless steel in one but plastic in another). My appliance guy says the savings you get for the Home Depot model are never worth it in long run.

Came here to say this. Lynn is awesome.

Salem has a huge and very established LGBTQ population and the community is an integral part of local culture.

This is the best advice.

Children under 17 ride free when with paying adults.

This video is absolutely tailor made for one of those “any jiu jitsu white belt would have had this guy submitted in 15 seconds” videos. And they wouldn’t be wrong.

Shhh! Don’t tell the angry tourist our secret!

I can’t answer that for you, but I would say: 1. If you think your condition puts you in any sort of immediate danger you should always go to the ER- better safe than sorry 2. At least in my experience, the several times I’ve been admitted through the ER I’ve seen specialists right away if the emergency doc thinks there’s an issue. Obviously don’t know what will happen in your individual case but wish you the best.

If it’s an emergency, you need to go through the emergency system to see specialists at the hospital right away. You said yourself you should have gone to the ER. The type of scheduling you’re doing is for non-urgent appointments and it sucks that there’s a wait but that’s the way it goes. You also chose the three most prestigious general hospitals in the city which are also three of the most prestigious hospitals in the world- as another poster mentioned, people come to Boston to seek health care from all of the world. Your comparison with SF is also apples and oranges- you should be comparing to metro area which is more like 5 million, and many of the Boston hospitals are Extremely specialized. Having Boston eye and ear and Spaulding rehabilitation nearby may be great in the future, but doesn’t help with your immediate issue. Because I’m being critical, I do also want to make sure to mention that hope you’re ok.

I think you’ve figured out why the flights are so cheap.

Not local, from chicago and available nationwide.

A number of good options, but George Howell and Gracenote are two of the best.

Typically not. Although sometimes you can get them in oversized cans as opposed to the traditional 40oz glass bottle.

Yes, a 40oz typically refers to malt liquor as opposed to standard beer. Now they obviously have craft beer styles that are high ABV but traditionally, the light domestic beer you could buy is under 5% ABV. So malt liquor has a light domestic taste with a high ABV and is typically sold in 40 oz containers. If you look at the 40s sold in a store most of them will say “malt liquor” as opposed to beer or lager.
