ok, it's vent time...

The next time anyone suggests holding a major event in the Fleet Center, they need to be muzzled, shot, whatever phrase you wish!

Granted, the Fleet is like 100 yards from I93, but there's a perfectly good convention center in South Boston, all new, shiney etc.

But it's too late now, the DNC mess is here :(

We now have one heck of a traffic mess with I93 being closed during the evening...

State troopers, dressed in black, stopping every moving truck and van that they think is a "risk" going in and out of Boston - thus slowing traffic down as we all gawk at the mess!

I for one will be glad when the democrats leave Boston on Thursday night, good riddins and thanks a bunch for screwing up lots of people's lives...

I agree.

The shutdown of 93 is a major headache. I am avoiding Boston at all costs.

I had a doctor's appointment there, for some experimental treatment on my cancer, and I had to cancel, thanks to the DNC. Traffic is a nightmare.

However, it's gotta be held somewhere. However, the FleetCenter is smack in the middle of everything!

Yeah, chill out, it's only a few days. I live in Seattle, WA. We have to deal with MAJOR traffic problems everyday, because of sports games in our new stadiums that are right next to the main non-freeway arterial into downtown Seattle. Freeways are ALWAYS jammed during the week. So if us people in Seattle need to live with this everday, you can live with traffic hell for a few days.

Sorry to be a stickler, but Boo-fuking-hoo!

Try living on Oahu in Hawaii, where there is 3 freeways that merge into one to get into downtown Honolulu. Or, how about Los Angeles, where there is traffic for no damn reason at no particular time?

Maybe you Bostonians should learn the meaning of ALTERNATE travel. The Bay Area can have some pretty sick traffic at times, but if you're smart and plan ahead, you can avoid a good part of it.

On a side note to the DNC, I find it hilarious and really sad that they are fortifying Boston like a damn military base for these sorry ******s, yet they can't find a way to protect everyday citizens. Everytime I see this thing on the news it makes me sick.

grow up...it's only a few days
You grow up. Many business's are closing for the time because the city is virtually shut down. If you die the hearses can't take you away for security reasons.

Who are the idiots that okayed that planning?

So if us people in Seattle need to live with this everday

If its an all time event then it should have been planned for. The DNC is a one time event which

wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for security concerns. There is a big difference between "heavy" traffic and no traffic.

jaccod

ALTERNATE travel

If you want to get into Boston you can't, it is closed. Not heavey traffic...no traffic. There are no alternate routes. Believe we know about heavey traffic. The "Big Dig" didn't help to alleviate it.

The original idea still stands. Chill out, you'll get over it. There isn't any reason to bring it up on this forum. Everyone has to deal with some crap they can't stand. Yet do you see everyone bringing there issues up on this forum and that is because we have better things to do and we all know we'll get past it. Like I said there isn't any reason for you to bring it up on this forum. Get over it.

Seattle traffic is nasty, but we live with it. We have a good bus system and simple commuter rail, but the liberals here are killing any effort for true mass transit.

I noticed that the post was made by a different person then the person who started this thread. However, what I said still stands because if you identify with that person who started this thread they what I said applies to you too.

The conventionis part of our process. The extra guards are necessary to assist in the prevention of any violence. Live with it - its only 1 week.

Okay I must retract my prior post. I forgot construction on the main artery was incomplete.

Idiots for planning that. It must have been demanded by Kerry

No, but thanks for trying. It was demanded by Menino. He consistently stated Boston could handle the influx of people, and wanted to make Boston look like a viable large city for future events.

Or maybe it wasn't Menino, maybe it was everyone trying to take orders from Mayor Mumbles who got it wrong. Either way, I wouldn't be in town this week if I could avoid it.

the convention didn't pop up over night - it's been planned for over a year. you COULD have planned to be out of town this week

leave your town, the democrats are coming to visit. i mean, come on, why are people's lives being inconvienced for a convention. The RNC isn't going to close many business unlike the DNC which closed almost all businesses around it. The RNC is going to help business, not hurt it, and trains wil still run (though more secure), but daily NY will continue. Unlike in boston.

Never been to Boston, have you? It's about 1/100 the size of New York. Plus, let's see how the RNC turns out, ok? My guess is they'll be just as many people complaining.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
