They are probably coordinating with the other construction that is being done as part of MGH. If that is taking 8 years then it isn't likely that this will be able to be completed any sooner than that.

The added government provided security of a few rich foreign figure heads visiting will disrupt traffic flows in a lot of areas.

Edit: In case you think I am over stating the costs

>"The number goes into the millions of dollars," Davis said. "It's an expensive endeavor."

> He says it's something the city prepares for. "The budget does prepare for these types of events," Davis said. "Boston is a world class city and these are the kind of expenses that a world class city has to incur to maintain that designation."

Boston should not be incurring the costs of securing the persons of random figure heads worth billions. If the British government still holds them in such high regards that they view them as part of their government then they should be the ones paying for the security and not the Boston tax payers.

My girlfriend is like a furnace sometimes. Definitely not cold at all.

> But you’re correct about the auto limits. The minimums are much too low.

It is also possible that the under covered driver insurance add on of the victim's auto insurance will cover them as well.

I ran into the low coverage limit for bodily harm after being hit and I got another 15k from my own insurance.

1.5 miles is really just a 30-40 minute walk. I would bike most days but if it becomes too bad to bike due to ice then I would walk it. It is far cheaper than Uber and most areas of the city are more than walkable for all genders.

Honestly even snow isn't that bad. Bike tires, especially the ones on "hybrid" commuter bikes, cut through the snow pretty well. The real worry is that it freezes over and you can't see the ice.

In the coldest months I used to bike in full ski gear with rain pants rather than snow pants(easier to deal with around the gears but almost just as warm).

If it had just recently snowed or sleeted then I would take the full lane rather than be anywhere near the side of the road. Generally bike planes are entirely impassable once the plowing starts. That is where they dump all the snow so you will be taking the full lane anyway.

Especially because they will also sell you the ingredients.

There is also an independent network that has its own app.

Massachusetts is stupid when it comes to weapons. I can carry I 9mm but I'm not allowed to carry a normal every day carry pocket knife in Boston.

You can only get a hunting permit with a compound bow or a cross bow but you can only get the cross bow one if you have a disability that prevents you from using a compound bow. That means one you apply you will never be able to get a normal bow for hunting.

Wasn't there an article recently that Alzheimer's increased in lab mice after swabbing their nose or something like that? I remember the headline suggesting that viral infections after picking your nose is the cause of the disease.

The pandemic also increased their costs substantially. There is a huge labor shortage of pharmacists right now and their job got more complicated over the pandemic which requires higher wages to keep them employed.

Additionally a lot of their customers are turned to delivery services over the pandemic and likely aren't returning. If my prescriptions were allowed to be delivered I know I wouldn't be going to the stores anymore but I haven't found one willing to ship ADHD meds.

Citizens blame random business for their lack of public transportation problems rather than the government. News at 11.

Massachusetts uses 389 billion cu ft of natural gas and 89 million barrels of petroleum and only 16.9% of homes use electricity for heating(often the inefficient induction variety).

Renewable sources becoming cheaper is great news for the world a few decades from now when that changes but this year is going to be a cold one for anyone trying to survive on a budget.

Most people won't be able to install a multi-thousand dollar new heat pump furnace that is entirely fueled by pre-negotiated renewable electricity providers. Even the ones with heat pumps would get hit hard by increasing energy demand on the grid(which still heavily used gas and oil for energy production).

I will keep that in mind when heating my home costs more than my mortgage.

> That's about how it works for most every public service job, including military.

The existence of other contracts with similar terms doesn't make this a good deal in this case.

Lockpickinglawyer opened one of them up with a twig.

You can argue that this isn't a "proper gun safe" but the law doesn't require that people spend $1000 on a secured to the building vault with 3" steel walls and an attack vetted locking mechanism.

Many of the marketed as "secure" gun safes on amazon and in sporting goods stores are not going to keep an adult out and some are barely able to keep anyone out but are often viewed and marketed capable of doing that.

What you believe should happen doesn't change what is currently allowed to happen under the law.

Unfortunately it is very much possible that the parents took steps that were circumvented which would be a valid defense against the type of crime you are referring to. As such it would be a waste of everyone's time to drag that out into court if that is what the evidence showed happened.

If they did in fact have no gun safe or locking mechanism then yes they should be charged but under the laws right now someone using a lock they though was adequate is not likely to be charged and if they were they wouldn't be convicted.

> There is only ONE way a 7-year old takes a gun to school. And that’s if the parents are way beyond grossly negligent in the storing of their firearms.

The kid could have broken into the gun safe. Some of them are very poor security devices despite being marketed to stop exactly this kind of thing from happening.

When I was that age I routinely broke into my dad's workshop that he had locked up to keep me away from his power tools. I had enough time that I would try every combination over a few weeks until I got the code to work.

When the constitution was written private companies and individuals had fucking canons. It isn't like they didn't have powerful weapons of war.

IANAL but I think it should go without saying that you absolutely shouldn't document your trash can's journey before you illegally dump it.
