A guy was clipping his nails on the train. Should I call the MBTA police or the regular police?

Commuter rail was delayed for 15 minutes at my stop, and then proceeded to go right past it with a last minute announcement that service to my stop was canceled, thanks MBTA 🗿

and this is why I drive.. I’d much rather take public transit but when it’s barely functioning 90% of the time I have to rely on other means of transportation

The bus once went past me at the bus stop. I just gave up and took an Uber because I was hungry and tired.

I'm heading up to visit a friend for a bit and go ice climbing this weekend but have 2 days of work while I'm up there. Is there anywhere around bunker hill that's good to chill and work from? Looking mostly for quiet cafes since the co-working spaces seem more like long term rentals.

Friend wasn't helpful, he doesn't like coffee or quiet spaces.

There's a Tatte cafe nearby that would probably fit the bill.

Charlestown public library isn't too far from the monument.

I did see that, would a library be ok with me taking calls though?

There's probably a small group room you can use. Post Covid, libraries have kinda become gathering spaces, not just quiet places

Ah gotcha gotcha, the one near me is still just an open space library, no small rooms or such, wasn't sure if that one was or not. I'll def check it out, thanks!

Might just be me being over-paranoid but is this snow making anybody else a lil itchy?

No. It's very common to have dry skin during Winter. That's your itch.

My skin isn’t dry though. But if no one else comments on this thread about the same thing then I imagine there’s nothing to worry about
