Why do people camp out at Watertown Best Buy 3 days out of the week?

It’s not everday it’s only like 2-3 days out of the week.

My current theories:

  1. These are couriers for Best Buy
  2. There is a pokemom drop or something
  3. Is this the line for the DMV??

Hunting questions 🦌

It’s almost that time boys, I have found an absolute honey hole!! I’ve searched the town bylaws up and down and there are no laws in this town that outlaw hunting, only gun use, but I plan on doing archery. The thing is there are a lot of signs by some of these hot spots stating that it’s conservation land and it’s not to be hunted on based on state law 131 59. Sometimes, these signs are on actual conservation land that the commission owns land but I also see that it is sometimes posted on town land with no conservation ownership, I have even seen them now posted on private land aswell.

My understanding was that at a default town land was open to hunting and a local bylaw would outlaw this. I talked to a conservation officer and he said there was no way that they could use that main law without a bylaw. I’m a little nervouse because I have come to realize that different EPO have different interpretations of the law recently.

Anyone have any experience with situations like this? I have feeling they are just using these signs to scare people off. I don’t think they are legally binding.

What kind of biotech jobs have decent hours?

It seems like a lot of the manufacturing jobs here pay well put they have weird off hours. I have a lot of lab experience, about 5 years. Any type of job I found looks like it’s 2-2-3 or Sunday to Wednesday. Me and my fiance were looking into moving out here, I was curious how this schedule situation could effect us.

Does anyone work this schedule in here? How is it if you have a family?

Should I liquidate my brokerage as an emergency fund once we get engaged?

I met the girl! And we both love money!!! We are about to get engaged! Right now we emphasize agressivly saving for retirement and paying off our debt. We definitely have separate finance right now, and we both have emergency funds. Mine is about 7k and hers is 4k, I realize that when we get married that I not only have to look out for myself but also for her.

I have about 12k in a brokerage that I haven’t touched in years, should I liquidate now and combine this with our smaller emergency funds and make a nice chunky legit 6 month emergency fund?

To give more context we are also thinking about making a move soon that we may need money for.

Also any tips as to how you handled finances once engaged/married is very welcomed!

Hunting before work strategies

I have a fairly kushy job, I can come in late and I can leave early as long as the work gets done. Deer season is coming up boys! I see a lot of before work hunts in my future….I figured if I get one this year I could probably hit my team w the “family emergency” thing and I have to work from home today. But idk if I’d feel comfortable doing that more than once, if I put one down in the morning could I gut and hang in the deep woods and come back to get it after work or do you think the dogs might get it by then? I didn’t think about this until now but I could probably use my climbing sticks to get one way up there. This is in coastal NE if that helps.

Do you public land guys come across BS no hunting signs?

I have some great spots this year, some are on land that is by towns that don’t outlaw hunting but seem like they are trying to make it look like they do. Most of my spots are around this one town that is flooded with deer. A lot of the spots I found all over this town have signs posted that say it’s town conservation land and hunting is outlawed and states a specific state law (which is not correct). Per this town’s by laws I do believe hunting is not allowed on conservation land or atleast you are asked not to on there website. However….the thing is that a simples land search via the towns website or OnX shows that this land where these signs are posted is not owned by the conservation commission and some of it isn’t even owned by the town, some of it is unposted privately owned development land.

I asked a game warden that stopped me fishing once and he said that it’s fine with him if I go there. But I was curious if others tend to come acrossed signs like this?

How far out to apply to lab jobs if I’m looking to start (and move) in May

Currently living in Boston, it looks like we will be moving here to start a family (🤞). At the soonest we would like to move mid March if there isn’t a sign on bonus so we actaully get our bonus, but we would prefer around May or June. How far out should we be applying, do jobs here tend to hire early? And can anyone connect us with any recruiters? We figured small CRO’s might be our best bet to start in the areas.

Jobs for people with mental disabilities??

A really good mentally disabled family friend of mine had a nice job at UVM for 3 years, it could’ve been his forever thing he is great at cleaning. He ended getting used as a drug mule by younger kids pretending to be his friend and taking advantage of him, he was pulled over by police charged and jailed and was extremely confused the whole time. It was so obvious what was going on that he was easily able to beat the case even with a public attorney.

After this hit the news he was abruptly fired from uvm job which really sucked because he didn’t do anything wrong. Maybe this is all TMI but I figured if it convinced someone to give him a shot then so what.

All this to say does anyone know of any specific jobs or programs in the area that could really help him? I could help be a point of contact in the interview process or explination process to help him understand how to do the job or how to advise the employer on how to help work with him.

Best way to physically protect your family

It’s weird guys me and the best girl are about to get married and I feel this presence of the family we are going to have even though we only have a tortoise at this time 🐢.

We were out at a boxing show the other day and twice my gf got cat called and I told these guys to watch their mouth. I’m very average, 5’11 180-190 decent build and both of these guys are much bigger than me, I could probably decently scrap, but I wouldn’t beat these guys.

This has me thinking about my inevitable family one day, how do I best protect them in situations like this. I know the first and best option is always descleate and/or run. But if I couldn’t what should I do? I don’t wanna be the guy that carries a gun around w him all the time, is there a certain class I should be taking?

Street fights are honestly one of my biggest fears I know people can die from them, I want to protect my family from stuff like this, but I still want to have fun and go out to happening things when appropriate. It’s my job to protect my family….What should I do?

What are you guys getting for compensation?

My flight from RDU-BOS Monday morning was canceled, originally was told it was weather, now I’m told it’s not and it was the airlines fault. Seems like a lot of people are in this boat. I ended up getting home about 10 hours later on a different airline that they booked me on.

Has anyone got any compensation other than meals, hotel, car? Sorry if this has already been answered I’m sure there may be a post about this already.

How hard is it to get a technical manufacturing job or adjacent with good experience

Me and my fiancé are looking at moving to the area we have very strong background in research and operations and she is a site lead at a major pharmaceutical company.

We are fine with moving to manufacturing from research, it’s more secure and has a better career ladder. Has anyone been in a similar situation recently? How hard was it for you to find your first gig?

Are the $1200 rents and $280k town houses fake?

Another relocation post yay!! (Sorry if this is annoying) Hello possible future neighbors!! We are getting married and looking to start a family!! We currently live in Boston and work in biotech but it’s just not where we think we can sustainably raise the family we want. We have been looking at relocating and everything points to the triangle.

We are a very frugal family and don’t need a spot with all the bells and whistles, Boston has kind of turned us this way. That being said is there something to all the cheaper rentals and town houses? When doing my research and talking to people I keep hearing that these housing rates don’t exists. Are they all scams or roach houses or what’s the deal?

Looking forward to possibly moving here one day! You guys seem to have an awesome community!
