Blacking your shit is a luxury so shell out or fishbowl lol

In what demographic or statistic does more open carriers lead to more ‘issues’ period? Genuine question.

The Quabbin Ocean would like a word.

I agree with this. They brighten up when they realize you’re not the all-knowing, self-diagnosing patient that makes up 85% of their time. It makes your life, and their job easier

These are likely generally known names, but a few friends and family have used both of these guys for wrongful death and inheritance stuff.

Morgan and Morgan is definitely good.

Ludovino Gardini is good, but I don’t have personal experience.

On the Western Mass side, I would use my lawyer above all these guys, Dan Kelly, but I understand wanting to keep it local. Another friend also said Michael Levin (Sturbridge, I believe)

These guys appear to be Creme de le crop for Boston and mediation law, but neither myself or my ‘colleagues’ have used them.

I could write a book about cases they’ve won close to me, but that’s anecdotal evidence at its best. I suggest reading up on case outcomes on these guys and stuff to make the best decision for yourself. From what my practicing family is telling me, inheritance/mediation law is usually tricky and you’ll need someone decent if you’ve been pushed out by a husband/wife of the deceased.

Edit; I just noticed you said uncle but the sentiment is the same.

How much money do you have to burn on this?

He’s also the kind of dude to say “you’re either right or left” instead of actually talking about things in a way where a valid compromise is the end goal. I couldn’t imagine going to a discussion board to hardside. It’s entirely contradictory. A whole family internally torn apart and (mostly) murdered shouldn’t be a race discussion. That’s someone who wants to be right wherever they can.

I would also like to point out that I’m 19. Imagine getting politically eviscerated by a tiny man-child. Slathering a bunch of words around the internet like a macaroni finger-painting.

You’re right. I’m a bigot. Me personally putting thousands of dollars into supporting education reform in Western Massachusetts communities and actually putting my feet on the ground with habitat for humanity in Springfield is bigoted. The fuck have you done to better the disparaged communities and social structures that you’re speaking on?

Literally spend any time around someone who’s trying to pull themselves out of Section 8 or generations of leeching family members. They’ll also tell you’re focusing on the little things for the sake of argument instead of enacting change with action.

A 4pm protest on a Monday is simply terrible organization.

That’s literally free money given by random donators that subsequently, nobody is entitled to. Who gives a shit about a hypothetical disparity? Are you gonna campaign for white people to donate money to black go fund mes? This isn’t a shot at you, just a shot at the idea that a fundraiser for a private (almost dead) person holds any kind of racist context.

Yes, you could make that point. And I would imagine you are right. But 1), it’s not worth talking about, 2) we can’t do anything about it 3) humans naturally flock to their tribe (financially/social class, race, religion). I don’t wanna circle jerk about how a black family wouldn’t receive the same funding, because it has jack shit to do with what really happened.

You’re literally shooting down the kindness of random strangers trying to make sure the husband is taken care of, and the deceased receive a proper burial. We’re thinking about dad here, and potentially rehabilitating the mother, however long that takes. It’s honestly gross to turn this into a race thing.

Oh, no! I’m a racist for my opinions! The people messaging me definitely aren’t a bunch of white internet prowlers who interact with people of color with white gloves.

Ok I am imagining. Alright, I’ve got it. It would be the exact same tragedy, and be equally as sad. Just the people would be black. That is all.

This is the stupidest fucking comment I’ve ever read on this entire subreddit

Well they install the mini splits and then the installer goes and gets a hot tub and a new car with the difference. Duh.

Did you take this today? Im in Burlington VT rn but I imagine it’s still fucking cold to be driving around like that

Maybe the window broke from an unrelated event and he’s leveraging it

Exactly right; and the minimum wage increase makes it easier to not be stuck working a Sunday for financial reasons.

Instant vs delayed gratification is really the only really reason I could see people arguing this. People would rather get 1.5x or whatever on a Sunday then see the same increase in their paychecks over a two week period without having to work that Sunday, and to be fair overtime paychecks are fun to get and fun to work sometimes, but I’d still literally rather have the same money for less hours without the ability to overclock on a Sunday.

Fuck, then you could even work that Sunday and still make more than you were before WITH OT.

Can confirm we are all this annoying

Got a good chuckle. I didn’t mean to sound pretentious, i really just haven’t experienced anything like this. I plow for DOT, given that’s with a 2500 on meaty tires, I still feel like these roads have some major issues that are beyond the responsibility/awareness of the driver.

I’ve never had to yield to half the speed limit because of rain when it’s 45 degrees, no.

I actually do know the answer here, I forgot I had my snows on; Snow tires drag more in warmer conditions, as the tires are meant to stay softer in colder temps, so they get extra soft compared to summer tires when it warms up.

quote; Icyroadsafety.com

“Since winter tires are made of softer rubber compounds, they are noticeably "squishy" during warm weather. This effect is really pronounced when temperatures rise above 50°F - it feels similar to the steering linkage being a little loose, especially at highway speeds. You can feel the car "wobble" during harder turns and cornering. The softer material means that winter tires will wear very fast in warm weather - you definitely don't want to leave them on very long once spring arrives.”

I do have my snow-hybrids on, I just came down from Montreal before heading here! Astute observation.

I was relegated to going 35-40 in a 55 and still having issues with the water. Just curious if it’s standard not to grade state highways here.

I was actually going 40 in a 55 while having these issues. Just felt unlike anything I’ve experienced in my 100k or so miles of driving since I got my license.
