If those new charges occurred after his first arrest the judge who released him should be charged as an accessory to the crimes.

> But it’s a different variety. NH and ME blueberries and strawberries are best in my subjective opinion

Possibly. But it may be due more to freshness. Often fruit crops are picked before they're ripe so they'll ship better and then artificially ripened with ethylene gas and the like.

Eating NH fruit in NH means they were likely allowed to ripen naturally, hence the better flavor. When I travelled to Georgia and had a peach from a road-side farm stand I couldn't buy peaches from the grocery store any longer; only tree-ripened peaches for me from then on.

Or when they toss a flash-bang into a baby's crib. Helluva job there, officer.

Lazy police in Georgia

> Thought the world was going to end in 12 years

We've only got 8 years left !

> On Dec. 23, Rep. Rep. Kristina Schultz (D), Rep. Matthew Santonastaso (R), and Rep. Glenn Bailey (R) prefiled House Bill 135 (HB135) for introduction in the 2023 legislative session. The legislation would ban New Hampshire law enforcement officers from seeking, executing, or participating in “no-knock” warrant.

Good, they should be ended.

No knocks are a coping mechanism for lazy police work.

> God, can we just suck all the excess carbon out of the air already?

Plant more trees!

> We’d have to be Georgia/Florida levels of warm for them to not get enough chill hours.

And even then there are varieties that are tolerant to zone 10. Which to be fair to the author of the article, they did mention:

> Bartlett says there are other varieties of blueberries he could plant that are adapted to different kinds of weather, but they would take about eight years to start producing fruit on his farm.

What's more of a problem is a lot of cold/warm cycling which can cause a lot of winter kill because the plant comes out of dormancy in the warmth and then the cold kills the newer wood. (As a grower, I know you know that. I'm addressing folks who may not know)

> Toyota drivers are the most common offenders

I'm wondering if the "auto" feature on the headlights doesn't deal with rain & fog well.

> I've been seeing a lot of trees shedding bark this year.

I don't know if this is what you're seeing, but inconsistent cold can cause the bark on trees to crack and pop off. During the warmth of the day (or if a tree gets a lot of direct sun) the sap can begin to flow but then night falls and the sap freezes and expands, pushing the bark off the wood. This is why you'll often see trees that get direct sun be wrapped in white tape/fabric or painted white from ground level up a foot or two.

> Hell, even Walgreens closed their doors.

Hard to believe that three pharmacies wouldn't all thrive within walking distance of each other. Osco is just a hop, skip, and jump down the road. That's a lotta pill slinging

> How do you convince someone who utilizes NH's cold weather recreational activities (ice fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, etc.) to become more concerned about the shifting climate?

I think your entire premise is wrong. Unless I misunderstand, you're suggesting that you can appeal to them based on their selfishness, however none of the proposed actions are predicted to lower temperatures, only slow the rise in temperature. Certainly this is true of any effects of the proposals within the lifetime of the person you'd be speaking with today.

So why would it matter to them? You're appealing to their selfishness and then asking them to accept changes that won't benefit them which I don't think would work very well.

Analogy: imagine trying to get the patient recently diagnosed with untreatable, un-operable stage IV lung cancer to stop smoking. Why would they? The damage is done, their fate is sealed, and quitting smoking would only take away from what little pleasure they have left.

Forget it Jake, it's Reddit.

Don't forget that true communism has never been tried!

Yesterday it was "ACAB" and now there's a "lot going on" and it's nuanced.

Didn't an auto dealer buy the theater?

> So let’s hypothetically ban automatic weapons.

We effectively have. Or do you mean semi-automatics?

> How’s your lesser gun supposed to keep up with that?

Occupation would require patrols, curfews, etc. The idea would be to use a cheap weapon to kill the soldier and take a better weapon of off of them (I believe this was the concept behind the Liberator pistol in WWII).

Would it work well enough to provide effective resistance to the occupiers? I'd say probably not; the French resistance wasn't able to liberate France from the NAZIs using similar tactics.

I bet if it was her drug cache she'd know exactly where it was, not somewhere in a hundred yard radius.

According to this article, plasma donations can also reduce PFAS levels. Since one can donate plasma much more frequently than whole blood, the optimal strategy would be to donate plasma regularly. :D

Yep. Went once, paid a lot for a ham & cheese panini; received an open-faced sandwich. Uh, that's not a panini sandwich

Right? Was "save image" too hard?

¡chao!

Uh yeah? It was a typo made while making a sardonic statement.

Still going to stand by the Italian spelling of "chao" in Spanish or no?

Oh, so you're both ignorant and don't understand sardonic remarks. No problem, I have something just for you
