The MOS's basement is apparently a sphere 92 billion light years wide. Who'd have guessed?

Heresy, I know, but I find Mystic Aquarium in CT to be a much better experience than the one in Boston. I’ve always chalked it up to the fact that they have more square footage so can do more.

Also the Ace Hardware's in Central and Inman are worth trying. Don't know if they carry plant stuff though.

Is it safe to drive with that high of an anxiety level? Like if you got stuck in traffic in a random tunnel that you had to drive through would it endanger yourself or others?

What part of town are you going to be around?
Hotels, restaurants, and bars all over the place, anybody asks any questions "im meeting someone", but id guess you already know how to get it done lol
Cant think of anywhere in particular that i'd steer clear of, maybe the financial district? Evertyhing kinda closes down there on the weekend, but again theres a hotel on practically every corner
One of the first things I noticed about Boston when I moved here was how much smaller it was than I expected, its a very walkable city

You don't say where you are beginning your trip. A rental car should be available in any city or town in or surrounding Boston. There is no need at all to head into the airport.

That’s super cool! I wish I had anything else to add… but I can’t wait to see it in person.

I've been in software development and technology consulting for about 15 years. This closely matches what I've experienced.

Pemberton Farms a bit north of Porter on Mass Ave.
Tag's at Porter (next to Star Market).

Ricky’s in Somerville is probably an option, maybe a mile walk from Central. They have a small amount of parking and there’s a bus stop near by.

Reply to comment by masspromo in NationalGrid basic supply costs are crazy is there a reason why? by just_change_it
Every time I see more pushes for consumable electricity and not sustainable options like solar, wind and energy storage on things like flywheels and pumped hydro I truly question the rationale.
In 2015 solar and wind was very feasible and far more sustainable long term without just dumping a ton of money into whoever owns mining rights.

NYC and Boston are the worst. And I'd imagine WFH is a tad more common in Ny for this reason as well. ( or what was described up here, fully hybrid not really a thing pre COVID, but one WFH day or whatever.)

Same. I also haven’t seen an aquarium that stacks up anywhere else.

Yeah 80 does not sound fun
Just basing it off the cities im familiar with, mostly NYC and Boston, and a 60 minute door to door one way commute would be seen as completely standard, albeit shitty.
Something like a 10 min drive to the local train station, 40 minute train ride, 5 minute walk to a subway, 10 minute subway ride, 5 minute walk to the office is like the norm for any suburb of NYC
