Three Dog, the radio DJ for "Galaxy News Radio" within Fallout 3, was one of the best parts of the game.

The Fallout series has lots of other media within media too, like the Grognak the Barbarian comic series or Cat's Paw magazine.

I would like to see Zach Braff as a lead or regular in something new.

I'm not the author. 🙂 Just posting interesting stuff to try and get this sub more active.

Nope, not the author. 🙂 Just thought it was interesting. Trying to post more here to get the sub more active.

I’ve taken every plate in the USA — one from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, the five US overseas territories, and special plates used by the Federal Government, and sorted them according to my preferences, ranking on originality of design, technical execution, and quality of the concept. I’ve also awarded bonus points for some which I think are particularly fun.

 

Seems like a clever and quite positive way to raise awareness of how climate change will impact Boston.

“The idea was that this narrative about the climate monsters would be driven by kids, because their generation and future generations are the ones who will face the most volatile effects of climate change,” says Brophy. “It’s empowering them to approach this overwhelming problem from a new perspective, and to think about ways that they can write themselves into being the heroes of the story.”

 

In its final four months, the brewery will still have Patio Season, Festbier and a new fall menu.

 

Free live music in Cambridge, Fisherman's Feast in North End, 4 museums with free admission, Dine Out Boston, and more.

 

Over a seven-day period in July, the foundation said it identified 15 locations where methane gas concentrations posed the risk of fire or explosion.

CLF found more than 200 public shade trees dead or dying from methane poisoning from leaking gas pipelines.

"National Grid’s leak data shows it allows hazardous Grade 1 leaks to continue leaking for more than 2 ½ years."

Does Lemmy have anywhere I can see a log of which posts I've upvoted?

 

I wondered: Do people still host book clubs? Meet up to chat about books? Yes, it turns out. Whether you want to attend a book group in a library (where chosen books can be loaned instead of bought), a cafe or a brewery and talk about fantasy, romance or general fiction, there’s one for you here, all on stress-free monthly schedules.

The catch: Municipal red tape might stop the statue even before it can be cast.

  • The city has a moratorium in place for all new memorials in the Public Garden or on Boston Common, according to Lynn Page Flaherty from the Friends of the Public Garden, the nonprofit group that advocates for the city's oldest green spaces.
  • The bench is also already dedicated in memory to another person, which presents a problem for the effort to honor Williams.

via Axios' brief article covering this.

My first thought after reading was also that the charges seemed excessive.

Thank you for your efforts! I've been up voting regularly and will try to start posting occasionally again as well.

The main things we need to do to grow the community are:

  • continue to get the word out to people who haven't yet joined. Post in c/NewCommunities, post on Reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives, do a regular search for Lemmy posts / comments in other communities and invite posters to join.

  • we should encourage everyone to UPVOTE posts here whenever possible. Upvotes not only encourage existing posters and incentivize new ones, posts with good upvote momentum could help more Bostonians across Lemmy find the community through the popular Hot or Top Day sorts on Lemmy.

I understand the desire behind this suggestion, but I think it would actually result in fewer people contributing, because it adds another hurdle to posting content.
