I'm a little skeptical about the T's claim that an extra 200,000 fans will need to be managed at South Station every time a game is played at Gillette. And if the City feels the same way that would explain them not agreeing to the plan

Well to the old guard in North Cambridge that isn't a bike path, it's a park that bikers are ruining... Its very annoying that their lawsuit held up construction last fall.

I did this with capital cursive letters. My teachers told me I needed to develop my own style, so I said my style was printed capital letters

Such a fun action movie, and then you start to cry when "Una Palabra" plays while Creasy is riding in the car at the end.

At this point it seems like she's emulating Ali Larter's character in Varsity Blues.

At this point I kinda want Merkulov and Lysell to get a chance in another organization, just to see if they click in a different system

I bet a lot of the people fighting the linear park improvements also fought the bike lanes on Mass Ave.

Carson Palmer doesn't get his knee destroyed by Kimo von Oelhoffen, or Miami doesn't get screwed by the refs and wins the 2003 Fiesta Bowl

I based my college application essay in fall 2005 on not wanting the draft to be implemented, so I was definitely hearing rumors that might get restarted as the war stretched out a few years.

I will always remember him as the voice of ACC football. And even when the games were bad he always sounded thrilled to be calling them.

I wonder if teams were worried he won't be healthy before the playoffs. I don't think they've announced a real timeline for him yet.

My engineering company only switched from WordPerfect to MS Word for our reports like 10 years ago (because they stopped issuing patches/licenses for WP5), and there are still a bunch of my coworkers who wish we could switch back

I'm pretty sure Boston University's Nickerson Field is where most people think they will try to play if White Stadium isn't ready. There's bleacher space for about 10,000 people there (and probably way more parking available)

That's fair. I still think the entire stadium deal is going to get held up in lawsuits for years anyway, there are very vocal people in the neighborhood who don't want it

The curfew part isn't really fair, saying you want the games to be designed to end before 11 isn't necessarily unreasonable. Fenway Park has similar limits when they host concerts. The other restrictions are very bad for a pro team...

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions
Pie chart:
74% hydrogen
25% helium
1% other (in tiny font)
