I'm curious, CloudBoy, what's your take on New England Weather Guy on Facebook (if you're familiar him.) He's usually much better than the various apps and news stations for accuracy.

Not to mention even if you have a good solar view, the winter months can be garbage for solar between shorter days and regular cloud cover. I say this as someone who wants to add solar.

Reply to comment by lantonas in Why does this state seem to lose power so frequently? It’s always related to downed power lines from trees? Or is this a grid issue? by JayBisky
I would ask if you are on more NH centric groups (Facebook, reddit, etc) and thus see more posts about it vs posts on VT centric groups. I have family and coworkers on both sides of the river Connecticut, and it's pretty even with power loss from what I hear.

You can't smoke or drink until 21 because the US has a bunch puritanical old fucks running things. Go pretty much anywhere outside the US and smoking/drinking age is 18.

The unfortunate part is when they sue and win. RIP the range in Troy.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Attorneys ask court to find NH statewide education property tax unconstitutional by goodwilhuntingseason
I believe I live in a recipient town, quick Google shows our students get about 75% more in state aid per pupil than the NH average. Of my tax rate, 22 bucks is to local ed, and 2 bucks is to state. Just because we're getting your money doesn't mean they aren't taking a shit ton of ours too. The whole state needs a massive overhaul of our educational funding system.

Reply to comment by OkLime8702 in Why should I move to Norwich VT instead of Hanover NH? by [deleted]
It's Ivy League conservative, which is still pretty liberal compared to a lot of NH. Definitely holds to the classic NH "socially liberal, fiscally conservative." Lot of pro pride and POC flags about town for sure.

I quite disagree on Black Mountain Burger. Stopped there after a hike once. My bison burger (cheddar, bacon) was a 7/10 and was a bit dry even for lean bison, her Hawaiian burger (teriyaki, pineapple) was like a 5/10, mediocre sauce and the saddest little pineapple slice. Very disappointing based on reviews. I will say the fries were very good.

I got roofied at a concert, pretty sure it was meant for my girlfriend. Luckily we split the drink so we both got half of whatever was in it, but it was still a very rough night.

For the week of the time change, yes. So we should just stick to standard time.

Yeah because deer aren't active in the morning ever, so they can't get hit if it's dark when people go to work!

Reply to comment by UnfairAd7220 in Garage door opener system failure-anyone want to share if you know estimate to have it replaced? by Stickyfynger
Like the one time I was doing a repair and a dude's finger tip fell out of the door on me. The homeowner tried to fix it himself, finger got pinched between the door sections and nipped the end of his finger right off. Lifted up the door to repair it and about a quarter inch of very flat finger landed on my shoulder.

Used be in the business.
Service call fee: $85
Labor: $85/hr, service call covers half an hour then billed by 15 minute increments.
Springs (that's what is broken) $75 for the pair
Potentially new cables at $35
Potentially new pulleys at $20
This is all 2010 prices, so probably add 25% for inflation and whatnot.

The poll workers have always been great in the towns I've lived in, they want people to vote and will definitely help you get sorted out.

Sounds like someone bought a card, got scammed by a catfish, and now is trying to claim it's someone else's doing.
Let me guess, those porn popups also "just happened" to you, and you don't know why they are there.

I think I was reading something about how the EU was standardizing it a while ago, and my brain decided to keep thr "EU removes differing DST standards" and forgot the "creates single DST standard" part.
