Please tell me that was sarcasm. Anything sharp caN damage the protective rubber gloves electric line workers wear, rendering them useless for protecting against electrical contact.
So if you think I am being funny, you are an AH.

It is illegal in many states tho I am not sure about NH. The poles are the property of the utility. Staples and nails used to attach signs pose a danger to line workers and that is why many states have laws against u authorized attachments

Well clearly you think you can do a better job operating the power grid. So by all means, apply for a job at the utility and show them how it is done. Dick.

SCADA, sectionalizing, and fault detection absolutely can help to shorten outage duration so you are wrong again.
Weather related outages will happen. Utilities are always striving to improve reliability, bit they cannot control the weather. Learn to deal with it.

Thank you for proving your ignorance on this matter. I gave you three examples of electric grid innovation and you come back with a personal attack. Sweet.

>They've had 50+ years to be innovative yet have still not arrived at that stage.
And what data do you have to back up this claim? Are you saying SCADA, fault detection and sectionalization devices, and advanced metering are not innovative?
Do tell us what you think they should be doing. Start with your qualifications for making such claims.

The cost of underground utilities is indeed insane. There have been a multitude of studies done on this. Essentially imagine adding $100 a month to your residential electric bill in perpetuity. The cost of repairing the infrastructure that's already in place is much less than the cost to bury everything.

Got news for you. Virtually the entire New England grid is owned by either the Spaniards or the Brits. Some of it is owned by the Canucks. We're in a global economy and currently there is no regulation at any level that forbids foreign ownership of a company. I don't like it either, but that is the way it is.

There are very specific regulations on how much can be cut. And anytime the utility starts to get more aggressive with his tree cutting programs people have a cow because they don't want to lose any of their trees. These same people bitch like crazy every time the lights go out during a storm. In my very humble opinion your best bet is to get a standby generator and have an electrician hook it up properly so it doesn't electrocute the line workers when they're out there trying to fix stuff.

I am amazed that so many people do not understand this. There is ZERO reason to lose a fridge full of food in winter because of a snowstorm.

Really? Are you an engineer who knows all there is to know about power reliability? Or are you Seth Berry or one of his minions?

Right. Cuz a different owner can magically improve the weather to the point there will be er again be heavy snow, ice, or coastal storms.

Reply to comment by Maldonian in Why are so many of the homes dated? by needsab0uttreefiddy
Well the house that I own with my husband is nowhere near a million dollar home. It is a starter home. It was a starter home when we bought it and it will always be a starter home unless somebody buys it, bulldozes it down, and builds a mcmansion. Now our house has Cherry cabinets (gasp!), carpeting, and walls that are painted a very neutral kind of off-white color. I am sure anybody who looks at it will say it's outdated. Yet, it is perfectly functional. They can kiss my ass. I do not want stark white cabinets nor do I want the walls painted some trendy color that's going to go out of style in 6 months. And there is no way I'm going to buy fancy furniture and a hundred different throw pillows to put on top of it just to satisfy somebody's fashion sense. If we ever sell it it's probably going to be sold as is.

Here's a bigger question. Why do so many people searching for homes expect something to be absolutely perfect and in line with their own personal tastes? And why do they feel compelled to whine about it to strangers on the internet about it?

Insurance on my late-model vehicle costs about $500 a year. Liability, collision, comprehensive, non-insured motorist, the whole shebang. Yeah, it is a bit of a scam but not so much last year when my windshield got busted.
Why on God's Good Earth do people drive around without having insurance on their motor vehicles?

Right. Because God forbid people stay on terrain suited to their ability.
People like you who promote skiing beyond one's ability cause ski wrecks.

Um, no. Berlin's is near none of those places, but Claremont is.

Two pronged approach. Company pays a fee to get on the list, and employees are encouraged (more like pressured) to back them up. Basically fake news.

Reply to comment by MakingItUpAsWeGoOk in Winter Vest? by wandrefilled
Down is great when it's super cold and dry. But it can be TOO warm if you do a lot of walking around and generate your own body heat. Worse, if down gets wet, it is absolutely useless because it clumps up. I spend a lot of time outdoors in winter and I do not own a single down jacket or vest.
Your best bet staying warm in winter is to dress in layers and yes, have a decent winter jacket. There are synthetic substitutes for down that work better, IMHO.

Reply to comment by J4ywolf in Can I legally Drive by myself if I have a permit? by J4ywolf
I failed my first time for rolling thru a stop sign as well. So did more than half the people I knew who had to drive the same route for their tests. The examiners pick intersections with stop signs set way back in order to fail people.
I have also been t-boned at an intersection, despite having right of way, looking both ways, and seeing the other car slow down. I got over it and got on with my life.
Stop using "depression" and "PTSD" as excuses for your lack of adulting skills. If you are that afraid to drive, move to a city with public transit so you won't have to drive.
