Got back from Boston Tuesday and I miss it already, love that city. The wife and I fantasized about getting a small condo downtown, selling our cars and just walking, biking, or taking the T to wherever we needed to go. Then the subject of New England winters came up and we were like lol gently caress that

everdave posted:Tell me why one of the few places I can fly cheap and I have so many points. I hate everything though. I like drinking. Just do it. Great city, tons of history everywhere with lots to do, all withing walking distance or a short T ride if you stay downtown. Amazing places to eat all over, the north end is legendary and has the best Italian food and baked goods I've ever eaten. I'd probably gain 100 pounds if I lived there so it's probably a good thing i don't. It's better than NY city because it's not as big and overwhelming, and the people are friendlier too imo. Catch a game at Fenway or TD Garden, walk the Freedom Trail, climb the Bunker hill Monument, or check out the Aquarium, etc. Or just bum around the city and eat/drink as you go along that's my favorite thing to do  We go every year and my son loves it too, he cried when we left lol.

everdave posted:Tell me a great place I have to eat at or drink at and I’m there this summer. Any areas to avoid? I just want to hang out no sights or scenes. As long as you stay in the downtown area there's really no places to avoid AFAIK. My favorite restaurant is the Sail Loft right by Boston Harbor on the water, best chowda and fresh cod or haddock right off the boat. And pretty much any restaurant in the north end is good and there's tons of them. Just google Boston North End and you'll get all the info you need. The Italian place we like best is called Antico Forno and it's on Salem St. PM me if you're serious about going and I'll answer any questions you have

Carry a broomstick with you, sometimes they will think it's a gun and go away, and if not use it to poke them out of your way.

Finally saw Infinity War and the only word I can describe it with is Bizarre because not only because of the amount of dead heros, but the amount of times they had an opportunity to put a stop to it completely loving up. All of the Guardians are dead besides the racoon, seriously? IDGI And as far as making future movies the only thing i can think of is the surviving Avengers find all the Dragon Balls and wish everyone back to life.

Rhyno posted:There was this clown at the Dreammakers thing yesterday who was loudly denouncing all women as whores because he had been friendzoned. It was just awkward and terrible and I was getting a little drunk so we had to leave before I made a scene. I would have had a hard time not loudly denouncing him as a loving idiot. I figured out pretty early that if you're seeing someone and you don't want the same things out of the relationship you just move on and don't take it loving personally. These kind of idiots are too self absorbed to have any kind of perspective, so if they want to wallow and suffer in their own ignorance let them they deserve it.

I went from 50 hr weeks (40 security 10 bar shift) when my wife was home with our son, to 30 hour weeks (3 days on, 4 days off) security and no weekends. The stress level improved dramatically, especially since I don't work the weekends when most of the problems occur. It took awhile to get someone else in that would stick around to deal with weekends (went through about five people) but so far so good. Just got a raise and don't see myself going anywhere else, the money isn't the greatest but it's pretty much the perfect job considering my health issues. Been doing it 8 years now and I'm at the age where I'm probably not going to be getting a new career again so the security field it is till I'm dead I guess lol.

Well if you want to be legal that's what you gotta do man. Otherwise gently caress it, it's a slap on the wrist now anyways just don't carry pounds of weed and you'll be fine.

iwentdoodie posted:Also, weed isn't really decriminalized in Hillsborough county (and not at all in Polk) it just isn't required they arrest you for under 20g, though it's officer discretion. It's a notice to appear, and without a good lawyer it's still a class 1 felony charge. I managed to go decades of regular illegal weed smoking without ever getting busted, just don't be a dumbass about it and you'll be fine. Almost all the stories I've heard of people I know getting popped for weed involved them doing something stupid while weed was on them or in their car, etc.

Why would you use zip ties again when it didn't work the first time? When I had rats in my attic, I used self tapping screws and covered the vent with heavy duty wire mesh folded over on itself and that was the end of that.

everdave posted:If anyone cares last nights planned Raccoon genocide did not happen. The trap got cleaned out of my oreos and this morning the vent is pried open in a different way. I only heard a little bit of scratching last night but I also drank beer all night since I didn't have the kids so who knows. I have the radio blasting up there today and I have loaded my hand trap with cat food. My amazon traps for the attic won't be here until Monday. Before you ask why don't you just get someone to handle this I have tried and it is just not happening. Every wildlife certified dude in this part of the state has so much bigger fish to fry they won't help me at any price. Dude go to Home Depot and get a roll of heavy duty wire mesh/fencing and put it over your vents with big rear end screws or tapcons or whatever the gently caress you need to secure it overlapping the vent by at least a few inches. Then put the traps outside and catch/kill them that way. Be smarter than the dumb animal, geez.

everdave posted:I am leaving work and doing just that and going in the attic and solving this bullshit, you kicked me in the rear end and that is what I needed. I however have to wait out my ex wife who keeps driving by my work and making sure I am here like that is any of her business. It will work, it's exactly how i got rats out of my attic. Blew an air horn up in the attic and they hauled rear end out one of the vents, then I blocked off the vents and set traps in their path outside the house and they were all dead within a few days. Vents are still blocked off and it looks kinda dumb but it keeps them out. [e] BTW slim jims are the best rat trap bait ever, works like a charm every time. Might work for raccoons too.

I set off a bug bomb yesterday up there Figure out a way to scare him out, I used an air horn can, try something similar. Shoot him with BBs, play loud country music etc. Then block it off from the outside it will be way easier and you won't die of heat exhaustion.
