Most of my food waste sits in a compost container on my counter, except coffee grounds, I keep those separate. Once or twice I week I take the bucket/grounds off the counter and drop them into my outside compost barrel. Or I throw the grounds into the woods if I have too many grounds in the barrel at the time (which is often). Sometimes I drop everything down in my outhouse if the barrel is getting too full.

Jericho Center Country Store, Hatchet, Rozzi’s, Bobcat Cafe, Park Squeeze, and Butter Bar all deserve a look.

Colchester is your jam. My family has a camp on Malletts Bay, that’s the place to look. There is mini golf in Essex about 15 minutes away, there’s a drive-in theater for a family movie night, bike path/causeway, plus the lake!( Broadacres used to have go karts and mini golf when I was a kid, but now they just have creemees and bingo.)

Pretty sure anytime I’ve bought tires online, they will ship them to you studded. Mounting and balance is fine for online, but asking a shop to stud tires plus all that, pretty poor move.

Making a punk band is cool. Been there, didn't have Reddit, just the bus or school lunch.
Discussing politics is fine. The world is pretty fucked up (we don't need to censor here).
Ideas are fine, just have a thick skin and an open mind.

It's really cool to wind copper around iron, you can do all kinds of neat stuff, like motion and things...

This sounds like story time.

Good job Franklin County. A shit Deputy promoted to Chief.
It will never fly in this state, due to it's long history with relying on sheriff's as the local LEO, but I think it's time to make the Sheriff's Office exactly what it intended to be. Serve papers. Guard the local jail. Transport people to/from court.

Also can stand for Search Engine Marketing (aka those targeted ads you see based on your search history). Although scanning electron microscopes are way cooler.
In physics grad school I got to play with electron tunneling, cool stuff. Also, little known fact, MRI is actually known as NMR, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, they dropped the Nuclear from the name to make it more publicly palatable. We had to build a basic NMR device in grad lab first year, wicked fun.

Reply to comment by Naive_Midnight_5732 in Recommendation: snowboard boot/binding fitting in northern Vermont by Naive_Midnight_5732
It's just easier in/out, and no straps putting pressure on top/sides of your foot/boot.
8valvegrowl t1_itzhxp3 wrote
Yeah, sounds like some adjusting to your strap angles and placement is key. Most good snowboard shops can help with this.
I've had good experiences with boot fitting at both the Burton flagship store (the original, not the downtown one) and at Alpine Shop.
I now use a semi-custom footbed in my snowboard boots, ski boots, hiking boots, and daily shoes (I have pretty high arches). Makes a big difference.
If you can't get the straps to ever work nicely, I switched to Burton Step-On boots/bindings last year for the days I'm riding...huge improvement for a 40+ y/o with a lot of aches and injuries...no more struggling to strap in, or struggling to get out (also a big help when working with young 'uns). Not cheap, since you need to buy new boots and bindings together, but I found it worth it.

That’s pretty terrible, and I’m sad to hear that situation for you. There are definitely people out there that will abuse privileges.
I was taught to respect the land, the privileges of using it, and the people/animals on it. I have been generally shown that level of respect in turn. So let’s continue to pass that along.

This is true, but I will say that if you are going to hunt on or around (it can be easy to wander) private land, it is considered the polite thing to go and find the owner to introduce yourself/party and ask for permission first, then state where and when you will be there; this works to everyone's advantage and reduces headaches or stressful situations. Plus, you might even get a tip on places that are good on the property from a safety and success standpoint. I speak as someone who sometimes is a hunter and is an owner of some open land. Trust me, we don't bite!

Reply to Shopping in Canada by likesbananasabunch
Food is a no-go across the border unless you like hassle. Full stop. Any fruits or veggies? Nope, needs all kinds of scrutiny. Meats and dairy will get you questioned and dumped off. It used to be alcohol too, but now you can bring some wines or beers across.
Shop local.
I use Costco in Colchester. But I use it to buy 3 months worth of TP and paper towels, it's not a great place to shop for food, unless you use bulk rice or flour or have a big party planned where you need burgers and dogs for 100 peeps.
