Reply to comment by RickyDontLoseThat in NationalGrid basic supply costs are crazy is there a reason why? by just_change_it
The approved rate is 0.14¢/kWh per your link and happy cake day!
That's still ~20% higher than what Boston pays. Malden does have a community collective bargaining program in the works but no ETA on rolling it out. https://maldencommunityelectricity.com/
Wish I paid attention to this sooner but I don't usually worry about electricity costs in the winter with gas heat.

Dumpling Kingdom does like 4 styles of Chinese cuisine really, really well. You can go there a bunch of different times, get completely different stuff and always come out full and satisfied after spending $20. Their absolute best stuff: Mala special pot. If you like mala, they make it really well and it comes out not much more expensive than buying all the ingredients and making it yourself.

Wait, are you telling me OP could have avoided this entire thing by just getting admitted to Northeastern?

>There is literally no proof of any connection between Dudley and slavery.
The 1641 Massachusetts Body of Liberties would like a word:
>Passage 91: "There shall never be any bond slaverie, villinage or Captivitie amongst us unles it be lawfull Captives taken in just warres, and such strangers as willingly selle themselves or are sold to us. And these shall have all the liberties and Christian usages which the law of god established in Israel concerning such persons doeth morally require. This exempts none from servitude who shall be Judged thereto by Authoritie."
As Mass.gov itself states:
>The first committee for the laws comprised of Governor John Haynes, Deputy-Governor Richard Bellingham, John Winthrop, and Thomas Dudley was formed to "frame a body of grounds of laws, in resemblance to a Magna Carta" (as recorded in John Winthrop's journal)
The National Park Service also provides more context to the decision to legalize slavery at this time in history.
Disclosure: I lived in Roxbury at the time and voted both times against renaming Dudley Square after a store (Nubian Notion) that hasn't existed in my lifetime. I felt and feel quite strongly this was a wasted opportunity to celebrate a deserving Boston figure of which there are many.

The only people who call it Nubian are woke white women from JP.

Unfortunately we can't add it to her plan as it's an older very cheap plan that doesn't exist anymore (on account of it being cheap and with a lot of data lol)...
She's in her 50s no problem with so it should be fine :)

"white folks do not feel comfortable in black-majority spaces" Only racists would make such claim.

There is literally no proof of any connection between Dudley and slavery. The Nubians however did keep slaves.
This has been beat to death. If you have any proof please post it

Not sure where summer is coming from. It was mid-October to mid-November, and I didn't abandon my car or anything - I came and went throughout that time. I got one parking ticket near downtown crossing which I successfully appealed due to confusing signage, and a street cleaning ticket which was paid on time (I moved my car 20 minutes late, obviously that's on me).
It would make a lot more sense if I'd done something obnoxious with my car, but I just honestly didn't.
Also, if I had received a ticket for "excessive non-resident parking" or something, I would have been frustrated but understood. And if someone had said something to me about it or left a note, I would have happily parked on different side streets on different days, I definitely had no intention of causing issues for anyone.
It's the registering my vehicle in 2 states with 2 license plates that's the issue, especially since my insurance company says that they literally can't give me MA insurance since I don't live there.

If it was there in the summer, why did your buddy not report it then?

Yeah, they kept saying stuff like that to me, too. If I wasn’t already convinced, that sure did it.
