Pickled Seaweed is awesome on a game burger

I wouldn’t but a computer right away. Many companies supply laptops for remote workers.

Maine allows school districts to set their own requirements for substitute teachers. The state only requires that a substitute have a high school diploma or GED and undergo a background check and fingerprinting.

Schools throughout Maine are desperate for substitute teachers.

Yeah, my neighbor has a computer workspace in her basement and works for LLBean.

I use dried kelp in certain dishes (Nori), so I'd be open to try some local.

Not a fan.

Just an indicator, but safe to say you won't be doing swan dives off the dock.

Great question! It does not… assuming that means snow swimming

In the pictures does the dock have a swim ladder?

$27K for a 2800-sq-ft house before a $6K Energy Maine rebate and a 15% federal tax credit on the total cost.

Seaweeds aren’t plants. They are algae. They shouldn’t be called “vegetables”.

Laughing as I am currently snowed in, lololol.

Good thing I know when to shutup.

I’m going silent.

Work as a substitute teacher at your son’s schools watch for an Ed-tech opening.

Let’s see…prove myself to Reddit. Or stay me. No hate. Gonna shovel my car our tomorrow.

What was the expense of this system? I'm considering it for my house 2k sqft.

I ranted I’m done now

Do I just dump the snow toward the foundation of my house?

Try to avoid this if you can, but sometimes there's no choice. Is there a lawn where you can dump snow?

Look around on Facebook for the local buy nothing groups, or even the free section on marketplace. I’ve seen many decent computers/laptops be given away.

1. if your house has stairs, uncovered deck, etc, start the top town. I have a wrap around deck and walk ways under them. No need to shovel the same stuff twice.

2. don’t walk over fresh snow - - shovel a path. This prevents packing of the snow and makes it easier to shovel.

3. I both shovel and have a plow guy. I have a large driveway and parking lot. I push a lot if my snow to where the plow can easily get it and push it away from the house. Which brings me to my last tip:

4. consult a weather app with an hourly Forecast. I use weather underground and schedule my shoveling according to the cumulative snowfall. I schedule my last shoveling about a half hour before the snow stops.

Cold-weather heat pumps retain their efficiency advantage until single digits. Mine will keep the house warm until about -4.

Also, CMP is offering programs to heat pump owners and high consumers to reduce costs. Anyone considering a heat pump should check these out to see if you can save some money.

Mills should hear about this, too.

Forget sharing on Reddit, this might be something Greta Thunberg should know about!

1. As others have said, yes. Needed for emergency services, gas/oil deliveries, and sometimes likely also needed by USPS/FedEX/UPS if you ever order stuff online. If you were to lose power or internet, CMP or your ISP might need to park there to check your lines. Etc. etc.
2. Hard to say exactly what the best approach is without seeing your house/drive, but assuming you're not getting it plowed, I would snowblow it. If that really requires moving your car, then you don't really have any choice but to move your car (not into the street unless you want it to get destroyed by a plow, though, just move it to a spot you've already cleared in the driveway). If there's some lawn space on either side of the car, you could also just snowblow offroad for a sec and go around the car.
3. I don't think you'll be able to pay anyone to snowblow, but I'd ask a local plow guy to take a look at your driveway and see what they'd recommend. I suspect there's probably a way you could get it plowed without too much trouble... if you want it plowed. Personally, we just snowblow ours ourselves, it's a bit of a hassle but it's cheaper than paying someone to plow it, we get to control the schedule of when it's cleared, and it's a little exercise which is never a bad thing.

To the Mayor I go.
