If you go to channel 3, hit the channel up button. I had the same problem with my antenna. Then I figured out that they’re digital channels and I had to go to channel 3-1, 30-1, and 61-1 to get it to work. Hope this helps.

I live in one of those towns you mentioned and my home is still worth 90k more than when we purchased in 2018. Freaking wild.

The people looking to sell, are facing the housing premium you are, they are just passing the cost along. Unfortunately, you may have to rent for a year until things stabilize on pricing and interest rates. Good luck in your search!

Reply to comment by Justagreewithme in Lamont proposes allowing CT pharmacists to prescribe birth control by gabbydeben
But why? A pharmacist is more than qualified to provide the necessary information to start birth control. In many ways probably more qualified than a typical family practitioner, given they'll typically have a better understanding of how the drugs work.

Because birth control can have some negative side effects that should probably be discussed with an OBGYN or at Planned Parenthood. And it's good in case you're experiencing any bad side effects to work through and talk to a doctor about your options/changing any medication. I've been on the pill for years and got started at Planned Parenthood.

If it was scientifically possible, Eversource would shift the tilt and rotation of the earth to place Connecticut in the dark for 80% of the year.

https://www.antennaweb.org/ is a good resource. Every broadcast channel is digital. Like others have said there are lots of variables. Your location, your antenna, where it's placed, how good your TV 's tuner is.

If at all possible, push off a home purchase for a year or two. The market can't stay at a high indefinitely.

Reply to comment by cforbinn in Connecticut’s gas tax is returning incrementally. What’s going on? by NicoleMcIsaac
I work in magnetic levitation now for turbine generators. Tried it with wind farms, it was a waste of raw material for the energy produced. It's not an ego thing, it is a common consensus among actual engineers. Solar makes sense for individuals in their home, but is not cheaper than grid energy unless there is policy in place either subsidizing solar or making grid power more expensive. EV's have limited range and we have only developed a limited infrastructure. We are about 30 years of development away in both the mining and construction of an appropriate infrastructure. They require a significant amount of cobalt and lithium, which are worse for the environment to mine than virtually any other material on the planet and the first cobalt mine in the US isn't going to even begin brining out resources for another 10 years. That would be stock ticker LAC or lithium america corporation, feel free to check Hydro electric and geothermal are good green energy solutions, but most people know nothing about either and are talking about solar when they mean green energy, including you.

You obviously don’t understand how this works, so the arrogance of “I’ll need a citation” instead of looking it up yourself is…. Interesting.

We need to build more housing units, especially at the lower end of the price spectrum. The market isn't going to fix it--it is much more profitable to build high-end houses. There is going to have to be some kind of intervention at the state government level to get more housing units built--apartments, condos, 1500 sq. ft single family homes.

CVS can totally afford it. It’s about increasing access to care. I mean shoot, they’re giving COVID vaccines. They can also rx BC.

Sure, they want to start a family the realy means they need to figure out where they are living for the next 5 years at least to get a good preschool lined up.
Paying a premium on the house price is not a huge issue it's step one to starting a family and putting down roots. All that matters is that you can pay your monthly today stop thinking of it as an investment. Figure it's the 13 years of your kids schooling.
The uncertainty of apartments so you hopefully save a bit in a few years on the house price is not worth putting off starting a family.

Depends on where you live. I've been told if you live on the shoreline you can't get the local channels with an antenna. I live near Hartford and I get all the local channels on my antenna. Maybe get one with bigger range 🤔

Biggest difference between now an '09 is that inventory is at an all-time low. We didn't build houses for a decade and now he we are in the post-covid run-up and inventory is shit. Prices are up on mediocre demand because there's virtually no supply. Prices were way up a year ago.

That house is not worth what you paid for it pre-pandemic. This is 2023 and the market changed dramatically.

As a former landlord, and somebody who’s been in that situation, here’s an unethical life pro tip - don’t tell them you’re leaving to buy a new house. Tell them you (and partner if applicable) just lost your job(s), and your hyper specific industry niche as a gerbil pigmentation specialist means you’ll be looking for at least a year. You’d move back into your parents house to save money but you can’t afford to pay the termination fee and the job market is better where the apartment is so you’re going to just stay in the apartment and hope things work out.
Your landlord / property manager is now picturing a 3-12 month late payment / non payment / eviction cycle that will lose them money and be a lot of extra work, and will be very amenable to you just turning over the keys on any day that works for you.

Sounds like you should be giving up your ego, and credentials. As a man of science, which I am as well, you should be willing to be proven wrong. I suggest you do your research, and learn something new. You also bought $160k in cars.
We all know being a nuclear officer means nothing.

Lots of hills here. Blocks the signal. Get the antenna up high as possible. I use OTA TV at a summer cottage and had to get the antenna up above the roofline and have it able to rotate to get a decent amount of channels. The local stations still don't come in often. Usually 30 and 61 work but others are rarely come in.
