Reply to I'm moving out to New Hampshire for university, what do you guys think is the best part of living in the state, and what's the worst? by Henry_Privette

NH is great for a lot of reasons. If you’re going to UNH, you’re in proximity to a lot of great areas and have pretty easy access to getting to Boston. The fishing in NH is incredibly underrated, the striped bass are already making their way up here, it’s a great way to take everything in. Portsmouth has a lot of great bars and cool things to see, as well as making your way up north to Conway or places like that.

A “negative” as a former UNH student is that NH itself doesnt have a lot of the things that we as young adults might want to do, but like I said Boston is but a train ride away. I spent way too much money on Celtics and Bruins tickets simply because I could go.

Everywhere is great to go and visit, but I’d be hard pressed to find an area I’d be happier living in. Live Free or Die

Best: No seatbelt law(although it's a good idea to wear it), no helmets(same), no sales tax, it's beautiful, pretty safe, people are nice for the most part, open carry(if you like that sort of thing), if you live in a rural area like I do, you can actually see stars on a clear night, depending on where you live, not much traffic.

Worst: winter can suck bad, depending on where you live, property tax. I like it too much so can't think of anything else!

This is my big problem getting gear. I’m 6’4” but most manufacturers think tall = skinny, but I’m pretty proportional, so most places don’t carry pants big enough, but I’ve had to return ever pair I’ve ordered online.

Reply to comment by BelichicksBurner in A good article re: repealing interests and dividends tax by BelichicksBurner

They say more than half came from households with more than $200,000 in interest and dividend income. I would then assume that the other half came from those with less than $200,000 in interest/dividend income. That's where my problem would be with it.

I don't think full repeal is the best option here but I do think someone retiring expecting 40k a year from investments shouldn't need to pay additional tax.

Not at all what you're asking, but if you hit up Americade/Laconia Bike Week, you can try stuff out at the vendors.

I ended up with a pair of boots I never would have looked at online since a vendor had a special offer on them.

Reply to Car Inspection by burntcravemax

Straight piping a new base model Benz is a great way to get both non-car people and car people to think you're an idiot.

Just get a windshield sticker that says "I need attention".

This tax doesn't even impact the vast majority of NH citizens in any way. This is one of those examples where if you want lower taxes...this is something that should remain in place. They should be finding ways to lower property taxes, not helping out wealthy families lower their tax rate. I want lower taxes and my wife and I make a decent amount of money. We're not saving a dollar if this goes away, just means that money will wind up coming from somewhere else.

Reply to El Rodeo Mexican Restaurant, 2 Casa Tequila restaurants, and owner Gilberto Reyes stiffed workers by nearly $456K; court settlement made. by Azr431

This is wrong and I'm glad he was at least held accountable financially but I think it's important to point out that A. This is really all about tips culture. If these people just got paid like regular employees, you wouldn't see owners stiffing them on wages. You don't see this type of thing in countries that just pay restaurant workers a typical wage. B. While this does seem like a lot of money, you're talking 100 employees over an extended period of time. Seems like a lot of the missing money was related to miscalculations, which shouldn't happen but is still important to point out. Bussers/cooks not getting correctly calculated OT tip rate splits is an example of one of the things they found. I'd be willing to bet a lot of restaurants get that kind of stuff wrong.
