Can’t you sell or give your credits to another person? I’m on vt electric coop. For several years I was generating more than needed and I applied my excess credits to my parents account. They allow you to apply credits to any account also served by the coop, could be your camp, second home, neighbor, etc.

My solar company installed the meters and all wiring. I’m on VT Electric coop so I’m sure there are some differences. Once installed the CoOp came and swapped the meter and activated it.

When they realize the error

Ok I didn’t think this would be complicated. Hood owns Booth Brothers. Hood produces Hannaford private label milk. Yes hannaford sells the same brands as nearly every other store in vermont. Those referenced above plus a number of smaller, mostly organic brands.

I don’t know who bottles the private label brand for shaws and price chopper. It could be Hood, I’m sure a quick Google search could confirm.

So not sure what lie you think is being perpetrated here but those are facts.

Now on to the milk with dignity program. It was first agreed to by Ben And Jerry’s and subsequently all the Vermont grocery stores, except for hannaford.

So now, what is that program you wonder? In short it says “The Program enlists the resources of participating food industry leaders, who commit to source their milk in compliance with the fundamental human rights of dairy workers, to improve farm labor conditions and help offset farmer’s costs of compliance by providing farmers premium prices for milk.”

Meaning that price chopper and shaws require the milk being sold under their brand is sourced from farms meeting those basic standards. Hannaford does not.

Store brand. Not Hood, Monument Farms, etc. https://www.wmtw.com/article/milk-with-dignity-campaign-for-migrant-farm-workers-targets-hannaford/40758660

Edit - So some are confused by this. I’m referring specifically to the in house private label brand. Not the brands you can buy anywhere, to include hannaford.

I stopped shopping at Hannaford when they elected to be the only grocer in VT that is fine screwing dairy farmers and refuses to sign on to the milk with dignity program.

Cool stuff. I wasn’t aware of this company. Fascinating story about how he ended up in Vermont.

Yes, clearly this is a VT only occurrence. Some one should alert the Canadian that created the video.

UVM also outsources services, like all of the food service employees. They are all contractors and not UVM employees.

We don’t issue plates with DTF or about 30 other combinations.

Yes. Or call the commissioners office at 828.2011 and explain your issue.

You can refuse a plate. You do not need to provide any reason. If asked for a reason you can just say it’s personal. Or you can say the letter combination is offensive or reminds you a traumatic event in your life. Or the number combination is bad luck in your “fill in the blank” (culture, religion, home country). Happens all the the time and is perfectly acceptable.

There also are no “Q” because it can be confused with zero. The “Z” is not used because in the computer records the letter Z is used to represent disabled plates. So if you see a disabled plate that shows handicap emblem followed by 1234 that plate is in computer records as Z1234.

Got it, good point.

Air BnB is taxed, or should be.

Meals and Rooms Tax

You may view your venture as small scale compared to a larger bed and breakfast or inn. However, Vermont tax law requires that you collect and remit tax, just like any other business operating in Vermont.

Vermont law states that sleeping accommodations offered to the public for a consideration on premises operated by a private person, entity, institution, or organization are subject to the Vermont Meals and Rooms Tax if those rentals total 15 or more days in any one calendar year. Note: If you rent your room or other type of lodging to the same person for 30 or more consecutive days, the person is then considered to be a permanent resident, and different rules apply.

The following is a noninclusive list of types of lodging rented or owned by the host which fall under the provisions of the law:

A house or room(s) in a house Cabin, cottage, condominium, ski lodge Barn, bunkhouse, tree house, camper, tent

Do you approve of filming in Vermont and pretending to be Rhode Island?

The town in the series was founded in 1625, which would have been just a few short years after 1620 when the Pilgrims settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Jericho’s links to the Pilgrims are strong as the town has its own attraction dedicated to them, known as Pilgrim World.

In Wednesday, the town was founded by a man named Joseph Crackstone who has an ancient link with the Addams Family’s ancestors.

The Jericho we see in Wednesday is a fictionalized take on the real-life town of Jericho, Vermont.

Jericho’s name is taken from the ancient city of the same name which was founded around 9600 BCE and is believed to be one oldest cities in the world.

Located in the Jordan Valley, the original Jericho features in the bible as it was the first city conquered by the Israelites after crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land.

Thanks to its presence in the bible, Jericho has inspired the naming of towns all over the world, most notably a small town in Vermont which is the town where Wednesday is supposedly set. We see several cars bearing Vermont license plates while the nearby town of Burlington also features briefly in the series.

Where the real and fictional Jerichos differ, however, is that the real town was first settled by a European family called the Browns in 1774, almost 150 years after the town in Wednesday was supposedly established by Joseph Crankstone in 1625. source

CC - to expand on what I said before. I used my own router for wifi and had the cc router wifi disbaled - connected to my router by ethernet. My parents live down the road and also had one option for "broadband" - they used the CC provided router for wifi. We both had continuous issues, usually fixed by rebooting.

I thought my connection was "good enough" until I started working from home. My son was also doing college remotely. I would frequently get dropped from calls.

Starlink - first, OMG the setup process was so easy! reminds me of most of my Apple products. From unboxing to it working was maybe 10 minutes - with the dish sitting on the ground and the wiring running through an open door.

My initial set up did have issues with the signal being blocked by trees. Once I was convinced the service worked and I was going to keep it, I moved the dish to my garage roof.

If you have not already done so, you can download the Starlink app. Go to a spot in your yard you are thinking about using for the dish and in the app follow the steps to check visibility. It will show you any obstructions. Using that you can tell if it is going to work in a particular spot. My yard has tree covered hill in the back yard, which also happens to be the direction my dish points. I have a two story house, garage is single story. Putting the dish on my garage roof was sufficient and I have zero obstructions for the last 18 months.

The signal does drop during intense weather - heavy rain or snow.

Ive heard customer service is bad and it is hard to reach them - I have not needed to so can not comment.

Elon is a shit show - so there is that factor.

They raised the price after I signed up, that was annoying. Started at $99/month and now it is $110/month. Although in my case I was paying CC about $60/month and that is gone so.

I had consolidated for years, only option available. It was terrible. I rarely got the speed I was paying for. Had to restart router frequently. Hated it. I had 25 with the two lines paired. I rarely saw that down speed and the up was often around 2-5.

I’ve been on Starlink for about two years now. Compared to consolidated I love it. If fiber is ever an option I would choose that in a second. Until then Starlink is great.
