I completely forgot 22 AA was a trilogy - I believe the other part is “hooks in you.” And yes, same Charlotte.

Iron Maiden - 22 acacia avenue

Idk if it’s a perfect fit (because it’s been years since I’ve watched TWD) but try the album “f# a# infinity” by Godspeed you black emperor. Probably would call it post rock but most of the album is very bleak and ominous.

lol there’s a “big (insert literally everything)” so why not have BIG EGG?

Although I suppose the correct term here would be “jumbo”

I can understand the reasoning why certain states wouldn’t want a pipeline but what was the logic for not wanting lines down from Canada? Environmental/concerns about land clearing?

Perhaps I worded it poorly; when I said I wasn’t concerned with splitting those costs out, I meant in relation to this thread I wasn’t really going into that with my previous comments and was talking about cost to consumers as a whole/what’s the monthly bill. Not that generally speaking about the Eversource problem I’m not concerned. The approx $80 per bill increase they’re quoting isn’t sustainable for a whole lot of families in the state especially given ES ridiculous profits.

That’s one part of the statement and I completely understand that point and agree we should lessen our reliance on gas for our electricity generation.

But when Tong uses the phrase “we pay too much for our electricity in CT as it is and these rate hikes are nothing short of punishing”, I interpret that as “eversource is charging too much for their product (and screwing us) and there’s nothing we can do to really stop them.” He says in a subsequent sentence that they really don’t have ability to challenge supply rates. Maybe you have a different interpretation, that’s fine, I’m not trying to say you need to see it one way or another, that’s just how I interpret that statement.

It’s not like eversource doesn’t have a history of bad business practices: https://portal.ct.gov/AG/Press-Releases/2022-Press-Releases/AG-Tong-Announces-Settlement-with-Eversource-Over-Natural-Gas-Marketing-Allegations.

So I guess the logical question would be is why can’t Eversource be more heavily regulated by PURA or similar especially when it comes to profits vs rate increases? When they make incredible profits and then say “well we need to double supply rate overnight” and there is no control in place, that’s scary. All our states reps say that PURA basically has their hands tied, reviews are administrative only and have ‘no teeth,’ etc.

I’m not really concerned with splitting between supply and deliver here, my original statement was cost to consumer. See below link. That is a massive increase that our own AG disagrees with them having any reason for doing.

Would you prefer the term “alternate account”? It was clearly sarcasm regardless. And besides, absolutely none of that answers the question I asked about delivery costs tripling.

Why am I not surprised to see a bunch of pro eversource/“eversource isn’t the bad guy” posts in your history?

Duff burner account perhaps??? Lol. Or just an eversource employee? Really don’t understand people defending this crooked company at this point, how they make record profits every year and then turn and say “yeah we need to increase rates again.”

I understand that supply prices are based on cost of natural gas to produce our electricity. And natural gas has plummeted in price since the summer. Also, that has exactly nothing to do with why eversource has tripled their cost to consumers in a short amount of time. Care to explain that one and why eversource isn’t to blame?

Even if price of oil/natural gas tanks, there is exactly a 0% chance eversource drops production or delivery rates. They will continue to increase endlessly because there is no oversight.

Ummm excuse you?

The Hemoglobin Trotters

LA and whatever the major highway that runs through Atlanta has perpetual never ending traffic probably 90% of the day. 95 sucks but nothing near as bad as those two.

No, I think over the course of this year there will be a pretty significant lowering of prices. Maybe 10-15%. Certainly not in high demand places like the “ct panhandle” where rich New Yorkers flock to, but the seemingly never ending rising interest will begin to have an effect. It actually already has as evaluations are starting to go down in the high single digits in large areas of the state, but like my other comment said, there were a lot of people waiting on a dip and they are now pouncing so competition is still fairly high. But theres a lot less people who can afford a 350k house in the suburbs with 6% interest than a 2.5% interest and that will decrease competition among buyers this year.

Also, it’s winter right now so inventory is low. Historically, late fall and winter are the worst time to sell houses (often because middle of school year is bad time to uproot kids) and most people wait until late spring and summer to list.

Plus, if the doomers happen to be right and there is a recession this calendar year, housing prices will likely tank.

Housing prices will come down once all the people who were waiting for a dip in prices and demand stop immediately buying houses over list price the same day they go on market…which ironically they were complaining about others doing for 3 years or so.

And it’s also winter - available homes are at their lowest point every year around this time.

Aldi selling wine seems dangerous lol, each bottle would be like $3. All jokes aside, is that a thing in other states? Don’t recall seeing any of the maybe 4 locations I’ve been to in CT selling any type of alcohol other than white claw hard seltzer knockoffs.

Iron Maiden has 3 lead guitarists now….but albums pre Brave New World it’s 2 leads.

Main Street in Manchester or just off has some good stuff all within about a one mile…good food/bars, breweries, some cool stores like Retro Junk and a bunch of other small businesses. Look at schedules for the restaurants or breweries, most have live music or other events on weekends.

Or if it’s more your thing, there’s a board game place that does big events and mixers fairly often…can’t recall the name of the place, perhaps someone can help me out.

I had the same thought - Mohegans and Pequot fought over land/territory constantly and land close to their respective “borders” changed hands frequently. I’m sure the same thing happened with other neighboring tribes in nearby states, just not as familiar with their history. So it’s helpful to know when they are basing this map.

On a side note - didn’t Algonquin tribes occupy a bunch of land in New England and NY? Don’t see them on here.

The easiest way (without a job specific degree like nursing) just like it probably was 15 years ago is to know someone or have that networking connection. Ask your friends who have jobs what they do, do they like it, are there openings or a referral program, etc.

It’s due to electric heat. Lower your temp and wear more clothing.

I greatly prefer winter hiking over summer provided it’s about 30 or so. No bugs, no humidity/dripping sweat, and you can see much farther with unblocked views.

CFPA website has over 800 miles of marked trails.
