Reply to House Bill to improve road safety. Testimony starts at 9am Monday, January 30th by rubyslippers3x
If I give up some land for eminent domain to make a sidewalk I’m going to pay less in property taxes, right? No? Just a ticket if I don’t shovel it fast enough…

And yet it isn't snowing, so who's really out of place?

It is hard but I would recommend indulging in your interests and see who you meet that way. I miss my old friend group but I am at the point where I have just moved on. My current friend group is through men’s league hockey. I have an absolute blast with them on the ice and just usual friend stuff. If I didn’t have that idk what I would do. See if you can find any leagues or groups that meet for one of your favorite sports or hobby’s!!!!

New Haven or somewhere in Fairfield County would be a far better and logical choice for a professional sports team than Hartford.
Hartford can barely exist as a city - it’s like 12 sq miles and relies entirely on the state of CT to fund tax revenue to it in order for it to continue existing.
New Haven on the other hand allows for access from central CT and Fairfield County, and it has Union station which could allow for a variety of mass transit to/from events. Alternatively, somewhere along the metro north line in Fairfield County would work.
Tying mass transit to a sports team / stadium is critical in a place like CT, as is locating the team in a city that is solvent / growing

That is crazy dumb. A person shouldn't rely on it, but at least check it as the head is moving and looking at mirrors and over the shoulder.

So you're looking to buy off the truck, without an account, without a shop affiliation?

You need repeated proximity to make friends. When you're in school, it's easy. For years, every day, you have class, you have sports, clubs, and other after-school activities.
When you're an adult, you have to find and make those opportunities yourself. You have to put yourself out there, and commit to some kind of regularity.
What do you enjoy doing? Your hobbies? Can you find social activities for your hobbies? Have you looked at Meetup or Bumble BFF? What about volunteering? Is there a social cause or passion that you could explore?
If you are the sports or outdoorsy type, join a gym and take classes, join a recreational sports league, check out community centers, find a hiking group, etc.
If you are an arts or creative type, join a book club, a writers' group, take a music lesson, a pottery or painting class, woodworking class, knitting, etc.
Be open to meeting and making friends with people of different ages and life stages. And be willing to take initiative in being the first person to invite someone to do something or follow up.

Golfed every weekend in January. Loved it. Keep that snow in VT and NH. I'm good.

Agree, checking mirrors and looking over shoulder (and rear camera) is going to be very important.

As with school, not all math teachers use the same method. You will be required to do what you have been instructed to do. Did you get a booklet or other instructions? Did you check out the DMV website for test faqs?
I stick with ith my answer in that no instructor should be giving you a bad grade for using one method vs another, unless it's an issue of safety. Remember that kids learn from parents with variable skill level. As long as you park ok without it being a safety issue or you doing something extremely weird, you should get a passing score for that.
If you want a definite answer, contact the DMV. Only they can provide that level of confidence in an answer that you are looking for.

>The second method is definitely the easiest and the one I always use
I assume that is the one that you used during your road test.

I didn’t say I’d like to live in Greenwich, I know that’s not realistic, just as close as possible.. ie. Stamford, Norwalk vs. Trumbull, Danbury which are more than 40 mins away. I have family in Greenwich and want to stay closer to them.

The second method is definitely the easiest and the one I always use as I always back into a parking space. I never pull forward into a parking space because I'd rather leave the parking space going forward. The 3 point one is much more difficult and I've honestly never seen any actual driver who's parked that way. I've only ever seen people back in the second way.

The birds lost in the fire represent 0.2%-0.4% of the birds lost to avian flu recently. It's basically a non-factor in comparison.

Reply to comment by KindaEgotistical in The inventory of houses suck by KindaEgotistical
Some states like Vermont and Maine realize the 'concept' of being a 'climate haven'-
All of New England is now seen as a 'climate haven'- no state has a large inventory of housing- so CT is not an outlier.
The climate crisis itself - elected officials- and the states populace seem mostly uniformed to the dire threats facing us. Its simply going to become much hotter (the coming El Nino will blow our socks off)
