So, yeah, sure, there's no income tax. But the extra $16,000 you're not paying for insurance in Massachusetts will pay for income tax on $320,000 of taxable income.

One big cost: Insurance

Home insurance in Mass is about $2000/year. In Florida it's $12,000.

Car insurance: $2000/year in Mass, $4000/year in Florida.

So a household with two cars pays $16,000 more for insurance in Florida than Massachusetts.

Go get a Kwik Trip coffee then.

Path to the Senator?

They should rebrand as OCONUS

Well that goes without saying.

Part of the line is already 110 mph (177 km/h), and the diesels can push that since they only have 2 cars.

Do they have walls?

Only because he was drunk. Kill a bicyclist sober and it’s “bicyclist dies in accident with car.”

It’s nice that they now sign the buses this way and schedule them; 10 years ago they just used regular schedules, meaning the 47 was supposed to run to mem drive, turn around, and then sit at central for an hour. (The driver instead just made constant unscheduled trips.)

In Europe the Hartford line would be mostly grade separated and at least 160km/h the whole way.

What about after 8 pm? What if you don’t need 4h to run your laundry? What about when you’re finishing in the dryer can someone else start in the washer? I have many many questions!

A long history of CSU here:

csurun.org?page_id=12

(If you get the Bermans' annual holiday letter, there is no doubt as to who the author is.)

She ran Boston in 1972 when women were officially allowed in and said she was in great shape, but was sick (you know, 3 kids) and finished 5th, never cracking 3 hours.

Sara Mae is turning 90 next month, and still manages a couple of XC ski races every year!

Sara Mae won the race, in her mid-30s and with 3 kids, in 1969, 1970 and 1971 (until 1996 she was the first female finisher in the open division). Her time of 3:00:35, not in Boston, was the women's marathon world record for a few months.

CSU noted in the second photo!

CSU was founded by Sara Mae and Larry Berman in 1962. Sara Mae wanted to compete in distance running (Larry was a sub-3 marathoner) but women weren't allowed to run any distances longer than 1.5 miles, their uterus might fall out.

Bags were free until ~2008.

Then they realized they could charge for them.

You used to pay for bags whether you used them or not. Now you get to choose!

TIL this.

So you have to do all your laundry in a specific window, during which time you have guaranteed access to the machine.

You are not allowed to do laundry at any other time?

"south up"

If @speakertip left the Bad Place he would have something to say about this travesty.

Another example:

2006, Dems won in MO and MT (and held FL and NE) while losing AZ and NV.

If MS is +3, KS SC AK IA TX FL OH NC ME would all be even or better for a Dem.

(MS is quite inelastic, so this level of change would be magnified in other states, MT and NE might be on the map.)

We will hereby allow 1 million FAR with a 2 story cap.

762. BOS is 946.

Gotta love Boston Express's North Londonderry map

Looks like it was done in MS Paint and south-up with no north arrow.

And the auxiliary parking appears to be a weed-choked former state equipment lot.

That said, football-size stadiums are poor uses of land.

Having driven across Germany on the autobahn with Covid, trying not to infect my wife, 183 km/h with the windows down is unpleasant.

It wasn’t always the case. Even in the 2000s airlines would go belly up overnight stranding passengers. What was the last example of this? Independence?

The ability to set your bags down and walk away from them and not worry about the airport being evacuated.

The rules just do not exist in the club/lounge.

Ceasefire?

No! More war!
