Reply to It wouldn’t be dark so early tomorrow if Maine switched to Atlantic Time by LordHamburguesa1
IIRC there has been a lot of talk about this, going to Atlantic Time permanently. I think the main reason NH hasn't done it yet is because ME hasn't yet.
If ME and NH do it, it wouldn't surprise me if VT wasn't far behind.
MA, RI, CT would be next.

Yep - and the high beams doesn't make them brighter, just higher.

It's also being over-used. I've seen it claiming it was around Lake Winnipesaukee (Wolfeboro, Alton, Meredith, and Moultonborough), as well as Sebago Lake.

Reply to Hey anyone know of great places to meet friends I’m 21 (f) and moved to New Hampshire 11/2 years ago and need friends I’m going crazy leave suggestions down below or HMU if you in the same boat! by squidballieollie
Look for local clubs that center around your interests.
Also, it's been a while since I've done this but it looks like downtown Portsmouth (the historic part) is a good place to go and hang out. The clubs I used to go to are long gone but I'm sure there are still some good hangouts.

This might be a way to be safe - pay for the card(s) in a separate transaction and if they're fraudulent dispute the chargers?
Sadly, it may be a while before people realize they're empty. :(

Reply to comment by vermontaltaccount in Why I'm voting yes on Prop 2 & 5 by ButtonFactoryJoe
>Minor nitpick, but I haven't been a big fan of this as the most focused on aspect of the debate; a lot of the pro-lifers use the argument that "it's murder of the baby", and I don't think saying "Well that's the woman's choice" is the proper counter-argument to that.
It's about body autonomy.
I give this example:
Say someone has leukemia and they need a bone marrow transplant to survive. I am their only match as a donor. Should I have 100% say if I will or will not donate marrow?
If I decide not to, does the government have the right to force me to donate marrow? Does the government have the right to create a law to force everyone to donate marrow?
(I use a bone marrow transplant as an example since it is rather intrusive on the donor, can cause harm, and has a recovery period - it's the closest thing (medically) I can think of to pregnancy / birth (other than living organ donation).
It may not be a 100% perfect example and it may be flawed, but, again, it's the closest I can think of.

It's UPS. I've seen similar many times - even with packages originating a couple of towns over. It's fun when they go from Manchester to Chelmsford to Nashua - the truck literally drove past Nashua! :)

>lawsuit would be dropped on a settlement payment of US$20,000.
This is exactly why people do things like this and get away with it. Corporations think it will cost them $50,000+ to defend a case so it's better to have a $20,000 settlement.
Too many people think a frivolous lawsuit will mean an easy payday for them. What most don't realize is that they'll be taxed on the full amount and then the lawyer will take their payment - often leaving the suer with little to nothing, or even owing a large sum.
This is also way many grocery stores will throw out perfectly good food as opposed to donating it.

Reply to Best foliage drive that ISN’T The Kanc? by kboo91
I think the north is past peak or very close, but:
93N to 3 (Franconia area) to 302 to North Conway
93N to 135 (Littleton) to 2 (Lancaster) to 16 (Goram) to North Conway
Both are long, though.

I've driven through Hartford many times, yes, it's chaotic.
& Yes, on/off ramps in most of the places are pretty good, the 93S / 939 interchange is probably the worst one in the state, and the 101/93 interchange in Manchester can get confusing, too.

I'm keeping this here - chances are you'll delete it once you try to go from 393W to 93S or 93S to 393E (Concord). :D

I don't think you do but some people may want to keep them separate for various reasons.
I wonder if it also considers boating licenses?

The Cog is fun (buy tickets in advance?) but it is on the opposite side of Mt Washington.
The auto road is on 16 on the east side, the dog is on the west side off of 302 near the Mt Washington hotel.
