Cleaning the disks in DiskPart via powershell, then taking each one offline then back online... that did the trick. What a world.

That was the old management doe. 

True enough. Still feels like the notion that audiences hate the movie starring a black actress is awfully convenient.

Okay, now that actually makes sense.

I mean… does it? WB has pushed our a lot of DC related turds.

It all popped up at like the same time. 2002 is around the time I started commuting into Boston for work everyday. Long enough ago that it was still the Fleet Center with the elevated green Green Line. I did that commute until around 4 years ago. I remember the crater at the old Filene's building in Downtown Crossing just there blowing dust around for what felt like forever. Then the Millennium Tower was up in just a couple of years along with the optical illusion of the ICA moving around. It all seemed to happen at the same time and far faster than it had any right to. Hell, even during the pandemic, the entire area around North Station and the TD Garden has become unrecognizable.

 

 

Yeah, it all looks like big, very important neighborhood. However, it wasn't even a bunch of small businesses and houses prior to a decade ago. It was nothing but parking lots as far as the eye could see. That's also why the the only subway service they have is the shitty Silver Line. The city has spent no money making a proper subway line out in that direction.

Prior to moving to the north shore a few years ago, I lived in east Somerville, I am extremely familiar with gravel pits / parking lots that suddenly become whole things  

So Batgirl is shelved but they don't know what to do with The Flash. Eat my ass.

I think there's a lot of accumulating evidence that the GOP has pretty badly overplayed its hand with the Roe decision and has kinda fucked up what was looking like an extremely good election environment for them. Still a lot of time for those fed rate hikes to make the economy worse than it is before November though!

It's been clear for some time that the dog catching a car metaphor is apt.

Ha! I understand that feeling perfectly.

 

Like ten years ago I was handling some planning during the construction of 1 Marina Drive. There were like no buildings around 1 Marina Drive at the time. It was literally parking lots, a church, the ICA, and the courthouse. Four years later, I'm taking care of some renovations of the old Neilson buildings just off Seaport Boulevard. By then it was an already entire city with foundations set for more construction. I haven't swung by there since the PAX East before the pandemic, I imagine it's nigh unrecognizable by this point.

You’re right on the money. 
 

I’m in OMPD once in a blue moon and at PAX East every year and it never occurs to me that they’re so close together; the seaport is truly unrecognizable. 
 

I have similar vibes about Kenmore and the Public Library; I moved to the area for grad school in 2002 when both those places were under heavy construction. Whenever I go back my initial thought is, “ooh they finally finished.” It’s been done for 10+ years now  First impressions are strong.

I haven't been to the ICA in a while. I should swing by sometime. Last time I was there, the Seaport was a parking lot. It and the MFA are neck and neck for me after the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. It just depends on what the ICA happens to have in display.

 

My current company has an office in the seaport and they’re putting up a whole building. I’m not in the office often but when I am and I see the ICA my initial thought is “shit did they move the ICA again?” Reader, they did not. They just built a town around it.

Nothing fancy. I'll always take a solid dive over fine dining any day.

Trina’s Starlite Lounge in Somerville is quite good if that’s your vibe. A lot of my other divey spots got wiped out by Covid, but that’s still there.

This one's for @Kal-El814

@Ghost_MH’s museum recommendation is on point. The ICA in the seaport is pretty cool also but I dunno what’s in it at the moment. The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is unique and beautiful. 
 

The Freedom Trail is touristy and a little cliche but if you’re looking for some of the colonial history stuff you could do a lot worse than that. 
 

If the Sox are in town while you’re here a trip to Fenway for a game is worth it if you care about baseball at all, there are very few, old stadiums left and Fenway is pretty rad. 
 

The Common and the Public Garden are worth a trek. You can always parley a walk through those to Newbury Street if you want to gawk at the Brahmins and feel poor.

Probably worth walking through the North End too, it’s usually a scene on nice evenings. 
 

The Freedom Trail will take you close to a bunch of these, FYI. 
 

You have a specific vibe or kind of food you’re looking for?

Looks rad. I used an AIO CPU cooler for my first build since my SullyBox (TM)

Yes, but what you're neglecting is the fact that I forgot.

RIP Arrowverse.

I'll probably get cancelled for this but fucking whatever... I feel bad for whoever has to maintain al-Qaeda's org charts. There, I said it.

Took me 10+ years to get my loans paid off. During those 10+ years there was times that I had to scrounge for food because there wasn't enough to pay for both. So why the fuck should people now get off without paying them?

 

 

Because no one should ever have to choose between food and school loans, like I did. 

Kill that shit so people can move on without dragging the albatross around for the next 30+ years.

Not only that, but Ridley wasn't even playing in the games, he was on IR.

As always, it is money.

A player gambling on games could create the impression that players make game decisions based on things like the spread, props, etc., which could make people less likely to gamble.

Someone going across the country and abusing masseuses presents no such financial concerns.

Lolololol what a joke

I can’t believe that there are still dunces out there that think the Pats didn’t deflate the balls, lol.

Not the least bit surprising from one of the most cowardly of all the American sports leagues.
