Reply to comment by willzyx01 in Boston could be first municipality to require stores, restaurants, and hotels to donate leftover food by uxd

It will work if they partner with charitable organizations. When I lived in Toronto, my co-worker organized weekly pickup through Second Harvest where we would go pick up food from participating stores and then drop off at a food pantry/church.

It worked well. The stores had stuff packed up for us and it would go directly to the people who need it that day.

Reply to Boston, rules of the road by PedXing23

Today I had a green light and was entering the intersection when this woman who wasn't paying attention starts walking across the road. So I stop in the middle of the intersection and honk at her mostly just to tell her she's an idiot for not looking when crossing the street on a red and she turns to me looking all pissed off and then starts pointing down at the crosswalk. Yes, I know cars must yield the right of way to pedestrians but that doesn't mean pedestrians have carte blanche to just walk into the road without paying attention.

Drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists are all fucking idiots in this city.

Reply to How much do you pay for the internet? by accion12

$75 is a lot per month but the speed is more than enough for someone who just uses it for streaming/working from home.

T Mobile will be $50 for comparable speed, and likely Comcast on a promo deal which you can just call and cancel at the end and they'll extend the promo another year.

Reply to TIL about Virginia Hall, an American woman who worked as a secret agent in France during WWII by supporting, organizing, arming, and training the French Resistance. She was reportedly considered “the most dangerous of all Allied spies” by the Gestapo. “A Woman of No Importance” by Sonia Purnell. by mfgg40

And she did it all on one foot. Baffles me that with all the war movies we have, they have never made one (as far as I know) about her. An amazing life.

Reply to Is Franklin Park the worst city park of its size in the country? by Victor_Korchnoi

The golf course is over 100 years old, so I wouldn't say the land was taken from the park. Pretty well established at this point. It is a very good muni right in the heart of the city and provides accessible recreation at an affordable price compared to other courses. It has value to the community and is packed all summer so it also provides some revenue.

Reply to Don’t go to Stanza dei Sigari if you don’t want to be roofied. It happened to my fiancé after we talked to a guy for hours and i turned my head for one second, next moment my fiancé says she doesn’t feel ok and asks to leave and starts stumbling by [deleted]

You turned your head for a second and then immediately your fiance starts feeling weird and stumbling? I'm sorry this happened but the timeline just sounds so oddly worded.

Reply to LASIK surgery cost/reviews in Boston by DrDre_TeacherDre

Paid $4000 at TLC 4 years ago. Insurance covered $1000. I believe they had a promotion going at the time but I feel like most places have "promotions" and it's just the normal price. Very happy with the results though. Worth every penny.
