  1. Duxbury ftl . That’s actually a 68 . Miserable. Probably mid 80s western mass Heavy heavy white pine pollen
  2. I have 9,567 flowers on my property. Plenty of options for pollinators. I don't want violets in my grass. I've never even seen a bee in the violets. I swarm my butterfly bushes.
  3. I'm also in the seafood business. I had a home delivery service for 5 months. We were expanding and then two things happened. Suburban house wives went back to the supermarket. 24 other people decided to get into the fresh food delivery service.
  4. The "science is real" sign people have completely ignored the changing science and are now anti science zealots . There is no science to back up wearing masks outdoors. Bizarro world
  5. Having my yearly battle with violets. I've yet to find something that kills them. If you don't keep on top of them they're a nightmare. Edit went to lawnsite.com and found a few herbacides but they can't be shipped to Massachusetts.
  6. Up there with sex is the sound of a 2001 BMW M5 with an eisenmann exhaust at startup.
  7. At this point masks are a social commentary on society. We've gone well past any scientific merit. Youth lacrosse outdoor mask count last night. Coaches 0. Kids 25% Parents 25% . Parents driving around town with masks on alone in their cars: shockingly high. I find the whole thing fascinating.
  8. Is it me or is pine pollen super early this year.
  9. Novavax is my lifetime home run. Bought Nov 19 at $5. Rode it to $330 and got greedy. Really looking at selling it today at $140. The management is inept. They have a fantastic product. They will make money in the future and possibly be bought out. I've been waiting for to take this vaccine because it's the safest. Unfortunately I'll be forced by work to take something else.
  10. ARKG I'm up 92% ARKK I'm up 128% Thinking about pulling the trigger.
  11. V90 R-design. It's fast. 365hp. Trim is falling off. Chinese made. Not your parent's volvo
  12. My dad has a new Volkswagen ID4. I go in it expecting Tesla Plaid acceleration being it was the first time I drove an electric car. What a complete dog. The acceleration is borderline dangerous coming out of intersections. My car has a supercharger and a turbocharger (Volvo t6) so I'm biased.
  13. Yup. Neighbors house. Spitting snow in Vegas right now .
  14. I disagree with UBI based on the fact most small business can't pay $20/hr for help that won't show up. What happened to $12/hr high school and college kids. Who pumps gas? This year we heard so many stories of college kids applying for unemployment due to CV. They couldn't "find a job" so they got $570/week to sit home. I don't know if you can still do this. There's a number in Massachusetts and I'm not sure what it is, but it's getting higher where it's more advantageous to sit on your keister than get a job. $20 /hr gets people in the door. A lot of business can't survive on that. You'll see a lot of automation coming further making the problem worse.
  15. I had 2 BTC in Mt Gox that blew up.
  16. She said their bakers start at 1am.
  17. morning story #4343543 that small businesses are in trouble now that we've put everyone on universal basic income. I'm looking for someplace to rant but I got rid of Facebook. This morning My favorite bakery can't open early because they have no staff to come in and make croissants at odd hours. There's not enough money you can pay people to be a baker anymore. The owners are in their 60s and I'm sure they are going to close the place down sooner rather than later. The other option is Dunkin Donuts . Yesterday My friend told me his small business put an add in the paper two weeks ago for entry level work at $15/hr. No applicants. They upped it to $20/hr last week and got 4 bad applicants. Parole people required to apply for jobs etc. My business Restaurants on Cape Cod that want to open can't staff their establishments . Restaurants opening now at limited capacity not because of the state but because of staff. The downstream effects of UBI and stimuluses are having a devastating effect on small businesses. There is a huge undocumented population on Cape Cod (brazil) with their own shadow economy. We legally need to be able to tap into that labor pool.
  18. We had moth balls around our tulips to try and protect them from the deer. Rain washed them away. Woke up to the tulips trounced. Deer was nude having a buffet on the tulips. Keep pissing off the deer hunter. Watch what happens.
  19. No sh1t. I got up at 3am and walked downstairs because I kept hearing rumbling.
  20. About right. We have the first edge on our oysters. They're starting to grow.
  21. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-03/paddle-boarder-arrested-in-malibu-after-flouting-coronavirus-closures
  22. First schoolies in Duxbury. They have lice on them so new fish.
