If it were just a money grab, there would be a way for people who live outside Massachusetts to pay a fee and be done with it.

She should download an e-SIM with an app like Airalo. I use this anytime I travel internationally.

You don’t need physical SIM cards anymore. Tons of different plans, find the best one for your needs.

To switch (on an iPhone) after you install one, go to Settings > Cellular and select the e-SIM you want to use. It usually takes a minute or so before you can use it.

A lot of people buy SIMs from the airport or something, but that’s usually expensive. And annoying - especially if you have to fiddle with removing a phone case and finding a pin to pull the slot out, etc.

Now kith

You misquoted the law. There’s no period after “in any one year”.

> Section 3. Subject to the provisions of section three A and except as otherwise provided in this section and in section ten, a motor vehicle or trailer owned by a non-resident who has complied with the laws relative to motor vehicles and trailers, and the registration and operation thereof, of the state or country of registration, may be operated on the ways of this commonwealth without registration under this chapter, to the extent, as to length of time of operation and otherwise, that, as finally determined by the registrar, the state or country of registration grants substantially similar privileges in the case of motor vehicles and trailers duly registered under the laws and owned by residents of this commonwealth; provided, that no motor vehicle or trailer shall be so operated on more than thirty days in the aggregate in any one year or, in any case where the owner thereof acquires a regular place of abode or business or employment within the commonwealth, beyond a period of thirty days after the acquisition thereof, except during such time as the owner thereof maintains in full force a policy of liability insurance providing indemnity for or protection to him, and to any person responsible for the operation of such motor vehicle or trailer with his express or implied consent, against loss by reason of the liability to pay damages to others for bodily injuries, including death at any time resulting therefrom, caused by such motor vehicle or trailer, at least to the amount or limits required in a motor vehicle liability policy as defined in section thirty-four A.

Thanks!

This is so exciting

This is the issue that's being ignored in all these posts. Why is the City of Boston enabling this abusive behavior by out of state criminals at the expense of it's own residents? Every other functional city and town prohibits this thing but TPTB in Boston actively encourage it to spite us.

Worked at a community college with a lot of adjunct faculty. Can attest those trying to use that as their primary income were one step away from homelessness.

It's 100% confirmation bias haha. You see 1000x more terrible drivers with MA plates but ignore it because it's not "different", the second it's an out of state driver it's "ohhh of course they are from insert state here".

All trucks are aggressive. It just is how it is, doesn't matter where they are from, all the same doucehbags buy black Dodge Rams, it's a personality trait.

T-Mobile's plans cover international data and texting for free, and charges for calls.

Regardless of which provider or plan, installing WhatsApp will let her text and call internationally for free.

Visited Thailand in 2008 and they had a dunks with some weird donut combos. Coffee sucked though.

I've heard the same. I know someone who works there now and it is MUCH better.

Trucks with NH plates are typically aggressive, but in my experience, Suburbans and Tahoes with CT or NY plates are typically aggressive AND clueless

California has something like this. And it applies to out of state companies, like the Globe. If you sign up with your CA billing address, a cancel button magically appears on their website.

I used Google Fi when traveling internationally. I just registered online, it’s a month to month plan, popped the sim in and I was good to go. I cancelled it once I got back to the states.

Good, if you can sign up online you should be able to cancel online.

I know someone who was in Korea a decade or so ago and said Dunks had some insane menu items over there. So yeah…checks out.

Lawyer here. That’s not really how the interstate commerce clause works—unless it’s pre-empted federally, states can certainly pass regulations like this. The interstate commerce clause applies to what the federal government can and cannot regulate. I don’t know that a federal court could really do much here.

Dunks expanded more internationally before they starting expanding westward in the US. They were overseas back in the 80s, but their expansion to the western states didn't happen in big numbers until the mid 2010s, so I bet people in Seattle wouldn't have gotten the ads back in the day (while the Fred campaign was still a thing in the 90s and earlier.)

I was going to roll my eyes at you for correcting someone on the internet, then I realized that all I’ve been doing until Reddit knows what hour all day was being a pedant (m)asshole, and also that my spelling mistake was quite novel. So I’ll say thank you instead. 😁

This happened to me years ago when I lived in Central Square. One day i randomly got a ticket even though I had a sticker. I fought it but it took forever.

Have you considered maybe fixing them so you're no longer a road hazard?
