My goal is to be around 90-100$. Fios looks to be running 39.99 for Internet and WiFi services. Obviously probably 50$ or more after “fees”, but we’ll see

How much is YouTube tv? That selection looks better than sling which is 40$ month. And that works through Roku on multiple TVs?

Thanks for the input. Fios is offering internet service for 39.99, but I’m sure after fees taxes and everything else is prob 50$ if not more. If the alternative options are going to run me 100$+.. I might just stick to cable... hoping to land everything in the 80-90$ month range

Live sports? I’ll check it out. Looks like getting big games and stuff wouldn’t be a problem, but local sports like he Celtics, Redsox, etc might be tough. Were you able to get a deal on internet service? That’s the catch it seems. If you don’t sign up for cable with these companies internet only service is pretty expensive.

Anyone here have sling tv or any other streaming type services? We priced out cable for our condo today and it came to about 150$ which we can’t afford and don’t really want to pay that price anyway. Im basically interested in live sports and things like that, which supposedly sling offers. Thoughts? wed also have to get internet somewhere as well

Some decent water bans around here. Some small ponds are as low as I’ve ever seen them. Haven’t had any rains that do more than partially wet the pavement

We missed out.... again

It’s tough. If we put everyone away who has broken a law, half the country or more would be in jail. Finding that line between treatment and forgiveness and locking people away is tough, and usually not clear cut. Now, the scum bag who murdered the cop in Yarmouth is a different story. That was a horrific failure of the justice system. Over 100 priors, many violent. Guy should have been in jail for the rest of his days

The issue is one of most complicated we face as a society. We can’t afford to lock everyone up, nor should we, and humans are unpredictable. We will never prevent these things completely. It looks like this guy had fought with police before, so that’s definitely a huge red flag of someone who is violent and can pose a potential danger in future encounters. Ultimately, we need to work towards a system that treats drug users and folks with mental health issues outside of a prison system. This not only helps these folks who shouldn’t be in prison, but also helps keep people away that should be there. RIP to this poor officer though. 15 mins until the end of his shift. 2 young kids. Very unfortunate. Being a cop is a tough gig. Dealing with the worst society has to offer on a daily basis, with very little praise.

Unfortunately, this looks like it may be another case of, “ why on earth was this guy on the streets”. Didn’t see a ton on him yet but what’s been released shows he’s no stranger to police or criminal activity.

Sad news out of Weymouth today. Police officer shot and killed as well as another person.

If anyone in this area is renting an apartment or knows someone who is, let me know. Looking to move out (again) with the fiancé.

Rain fail here. Totally dry

Front wheel drive. Yeah, I guess it’s the damage I can’t see that is going to get pricey. Either way, it doesn’t matter I guess. And the insurance is already processing the claim under the person who hit me. They got me a rental yesterday after the crash. So hopefully the cut and dry nature helps speed the process along. We actually had the same insurance company and he filed immediately and they informed me i was clearly not at fault for the accident.

Any mechanics or car guru types here? I was rear ended today pretty good ( I am not hurt). So basically, the kid who hit me is obviously at fault as he hit me when I was making a left into a sub joint. This is besides the point, anyway. So I drove my car home, but there is a good amount of damage. He hit back right side. Muffler and exhausted was destroyed, back right panel and back side panel also destroyed. The tire was also ever so slightly bent inward, and I could feel it when I drove it home down the street. Finally, the steering wheel was not straight when driving straight, is that an alignment thing? Anyway, my car is at a shop now and I was put in a rental through the other persons insurance. What could possible be wrong, and potential cost? My car is worth ~15k so I’d be stunned if it’s totaled

A storm like yesterday is a prime example of how you will get a much lower number if you just stick a yardstick in the ground at the end of the event. Your losing several inches at least. Same concept measuring and clearing once every six hours too. Yesterday your probably losing a few inches of whatever fell when you take a reading at 6 hour intervals. Sucks because it makes the storm seem less impressive.

We have the Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant here. Huge perk of living in Taunton. Ive lived here my whole life (24 years) and have lost power maybe a dozen times? And never lost it for more than a few hours. during this 3 storm blitz I’ve lost it once for 25 minutes.

Going with 18.1” total here... bob was about 17” and Matt (butterfish) also in that area. Feel good about it as we are all usually close. this has been an odd winter for sure. Heart of winter was a furnace basically, but we’ve had some good events on the front and back end. looks like I’ve recorded 16 measurable events in the snow table.. most obviously small, but I’d be curious if there is an average number of measurable snows we get around here per season

Yeah... implying someone is lying is kind of a low blow. I guess that’s easier than admitting error in where heaviest sat up?

The last inch in that quick band that rolled through around 8 was pure see through fluff. rarely see that here... almost unheard of in March. I expect the same if the band to the West makes it in

Not ready to go final here yet. That band tint the west could drop another inch or two if it makes it here

Hard to believe we wasted 4-5 in subsistence getting light sawdust and still saw 18”. This storm was legit

Death band at the end and the small band right behind made this storm memorable. About 18” storm total. Roads are a total disaster here.. bottom inch is frozen solid and the plow aren’t getting it up. About as impressive as a March event as you’ll see here.

Wow Ray, nice.
