They did. I saw last week, there are 3-4 parking spots labeled for trail use

I turned my lights out, but also noticed the whole street was dark. We used to be a destination but since COViD started , it feels like an entire generation of kids is missing

The handle shouldn’t matter. Even if it is upside down it would still have full rotation, but just wouldn’t match any markings for hot and cold. This does seem like exactly what o got when I accidentally installed the cartridge upside down. I did recognize the problem and fixed it immediately but maybe someone else didn’t.
I would also encourage the advice to replace the cartridge. Aside from it being something that needs to be replaced once in a while and is likely overdue, the seals are not really designed for removing and replacing. If you just take the current one out and replace in the right direction, you may have leaks.

Reply to comment by XaulXan in Are dining car diners a MA thing? by MarketMan123
Interesting …, I was about to ask for a Watertown recommendation. Wilson’s is a traditional dining car diner, so definitely is a cool visual experience, however I’ve been underwhelmed by the food. It seems like there’s always a line, so feel free to take that either way: is it in demand or just inconvenient?

It doesn’t even matter anymore whether you’re pro or anti nuclear: those projects take way too long to help us limit climate change. There’s really no longer any point in arguing the technical pros and cons.
By all means, let’s continue research, let’s roll out small modular reactors, let’s see if the utopia promised by fusion ever pans out. But we need to address climate change ASAP, and we have proven technologies in conservation, wind, solar, heat pumps and EVs that are already rolling out, are inexpensive, and will get us at least halfway there. We need to add urgency to these rollouts while still developing the next phases

Yeah, you might want to actually look at how big an economy they have based on manufacturing and agriculture

> Having lived in one such area for all of my childhood, the urban coastal democrat elitism is a huge factor.
I do remember this existing where I grew up in a rural area as well. However now that I’m an “urban coastal democrat elitist”, I can’t for the life of me understand how it ever made sense. The only factors I can see is that I was young and naive, and we had limited and biased news sources. I imagine there was resentment over the focus on things that were not relevant to us, but only the cities, however that’s not an excuse for not considering facts or ideas based on their merit

> Manchin was able to get the IRA passed were the provisions he put in around bonus tax credits for things like solar
Wasn’t that one of the main points of the bill he was blocking? Manchin gets credit for allowing cutting off environmental review for infrastructure products, especially that new gas pipeline he’s trying to push, and he gets credit for blocking energy portfolios to help push renewables, and credit for blocking increased taxes on polluting industries

I see one in NY! It had previously been an IBM town until They switched to a services model and the town has been kind of depressed since they left. However a lasting legacy was a pretty good tech school. A gigafactory is located here because it’s based on research/patents from Binghamton University plus is now a lower cost of living area.
Im sure they haven’t forgotten a legacy of pollution from early IBM days and the much earlier leather and other manufacturing, and will not accept that again. My childhood had too much hazardous waste cleanup from 100+ years ago and there will still be people who remember that

Yes, you can see it
on Lexington st, by Autozone
on Bacon st
on prospect hill
and you may be able to see it crossing the road up to Market Basket but I don’t know if that’s under construction
