Oh no! You'll be missed. I did wonder why there was a 30% sale when I was there yesterday...

Inman Sq is about to have some prime real estate because the CHA is closing its doors for good. It will be right on the brand-new walkable square that they're finishing up there...

Huh.

So you say you were parked in Zone C (odd on 1st Friday, even on 2nd Monday), but you got towed as if you were in Zone E (odd on 2nd Thursday).

Zone E borders Zone C on River Street (see map: https://www.cambridgema.gov/services/streetcleaning). One side of River St is Zone E and the other side is Zone C.

The north/west side of River Street is E and has street cleaning on 2nd Thursday.

Are you sure you weren't parked on the odd side of River St, and looked at a sign near the even side and assumed it was the same zone?

E.g. say you parked on the odd side of River St next to the intersection of William St. The sign that would be visible from there on William St (see Google Street View) says 1st Friday on the odd side, so that could be confusing. But it would be referring to William St, not River.

(It would be a lot easier if you just posted your intersection, it's not like we can dox you from that, but that's fine if you want to keep your privacy.)

Friends (or acquaintances, were they even really friends?) telling the cops that someone assaulted police officers in an attempt to overthrow democracy is a good thing.

Keeping crimes under a code of silence is something out of a mafia novel. Omertà, maybe.

Entirely S&S's fault. They sold Ryles, and attached a rider saying the place couldn't be used for food or entertainment for 20(?) years. They didn't want competition.

I doubt it was street-cleaning, or an overzealous tow truck, like someone else suggested (They can't give tickets).

I would assume either

1. You missed a construction notice (i.e. a paper "no-parking between x and y hours until z date" pinned to a tree)
2. You weren't in a legal spot (wrong side of a parking sign, too close to a hydrant, handicapped spot, etc)

If you gave your exact parking spot we might be able to figure it out further. (I'm assuming that "Jones Street at Rudolph Street" is made up, right? I can't find those actual streets on Google Maps.)

Please build more of this in my backyard (Cambridge).

Stop piling all of these in poor neighborhoods like Dorchester every time and then accusing the residents of those places of NIMBYism.

Amen. People here complaining about NIBYs with regards to this are ridiculous: Roxbury and Dorchester are the poor neighborhoods where these kinds of projects are always placed.

Build more of this in my backyard, in Cambridge. Or in an affluent part of Boston, or Brookline, or wherever.

But isn't an orbiting body in free-fall? And a body in free-fall can't feel the force of the body it's falling towards, right? That was my point. Isn't it an inertial frame?

>If we never saw the night sky it would be difficult if not impossible to prove by experiment that the earth is in motion around the sun.

Am I right in thinking that there is, in fact, no experiment that could tell whether we were moving around the sun, or the sun moving around us (in the same way that a car moving at constant speed towards a wall can say whether it is moving or the wall is moving)?

Spinning, however, seems different, right? We can tell that the Earth is spinning on its own axis using Foucault's Pendulum, right?

Oh jesus fucking christ, it's going to be another giant Bank of America ATM machine with Zoom calls, or whatever that fucking place is in Inman.

Besides what others have already said: Around the trunk is more common on a tiny baby sapling, only 3-6' tall or so. This is a much more mature sapling, and its root ball will have already spread out.

Yup, MWRA tastes better. It was the biggest thing I noticed moving from Somerville to Cambridge.

OP claims the got banned for this post. If that's true, that's pretty shitty, u/taylorhayward_boston.

For serious, banning a topic in a subreddit as retaliation to an IRL cyclist that has nothing to do with Reddit is pretty gross.

The r/CambridgeMA subreddit is really odd. I've had perfectly bland posts held up for moderation for days, until I message the mods.

If it's just one mod, I get it, it's hard to make sure this doesn't turn into spam. But then why not add new mods, and/or leave most of the work to the automoderator?

Wow, amazing job.
