Yes they follow the laws that they want to. The rest they will circumvent, like clear cutting laws.

Is this Irving from gas stations?

Why have I never thought of throwing salt up there? Brilliant!

Nope, gotta account for a alternate history timeline plus another 30 years of development

In midwest town we randomly lose power in the spring summer and fall :)

I would also guess that those types of structures aren't necessarily built with the same level of care or maintained as well as the main house.

We're on the same grid as the elementary school which is also a shelter so we lose power infrequently and for short periods.
Still it pays to be prepared.

What does the listing say? I think you probably could, but there’s a ton of boat traffic through there in the summer, so it might not be particular safe. The channel is pretty narrow, especially near the mouth.

lmao damn man way to prove my point
We had a strategic reserve we tapped into heavily when factors that had nothing to do with biden raised the price of oil. Not sure how biden literally increasing the amount of domestic oil in supply raised the price of oil, but Im sure you'll ignore this.
Not surprised you prefer sound bytes to actual information, that seems to be a hallmark of right wing idiots

roof raking is really not that bad imo.
you're not actually trying to scrape the roof clean, you're just dislodging some weight. it's fine to do a halfassed job. the position is a lot more comfortable for your back too.
waaay better than shoveling even if it's a pain in the ass to get the roof rake out.

You stay ignorant because this came from the idiot in chiefs mouth. Why do you think oil is so high under this green energy fossil fuel killing administration? https://youtu.be/Slszva6kk90

This works well as long as you're not particularly attached to having plant life near the gutter drains.

Do it now while it light and fluffy because it it rains, it’ll soak up water and become dangerously heavy. No amount of fluffy snow should be allowed to stay. Next time it snows, it could be light and fluffy but you might be too busy to take it off, then if it rains, you’re in trouble.

/u/dadoftwins04 , FYI, it can be pretty easy to clean the carb depending on what generator you have. I have a Generac that wouldn't start, got it running by just spraying some carb cleaner into the carburator, opening the drain bolt to drain out old gas that was sitting in it, and then it pretty much started right up.
If I were you, I'd look up "how to fix [your generator model] won't start" on youtube, or just look at the manual and see how easy it'd be to spray into the carb. Especially if it's a Generac, chances are it's super easy, and with a quick trip to an auto shop to buy the cleaning spray you could have the generator up and running.

Delusional sounds about right

If it’s too old and gets really mucilaginous or tough, it’s a terrible experience. Harvested at the right time, though, I do like it.

I can hear your brain overheating as you type, trying to crank out some way to justify your obvious racism. It’s funny because I believe you believe you’re not racist but you are undeniably having racist thoughts. And all in an attempt to prove someone else is racist. What a joke. Maybe think a little more next time before you automatically regurgitate some white knight bullshit on the internet. You only expose your own racism by doing so.

I've never had a negative experience with a BMV in Maine, and I've been to at least three different locations at various times. If our power and service were as friendly, helpful, and efficient as the BMV experiences I've had, that'd be great!

I've even had positive interactions with MDOT, the water testing lab and other state agencies. Of course this is since Mills was elected.
It was so bad under Lepage. I guess it doesn't work as well when you defund government, fire the employees and lay waste to morale.
edit: word

With just a GED and limited hours I think remote will be hard to find. If you can be more flexible on your hours call center work is often remote now and will take anyone.
Hunter Douglas a big blind company does all their CS remote and they pay decently. Have some friends working there

I don't go crazy with it, just enough to prevent ice dams or to poke holes in the ice dams to prevent water buildup (which adds weight to the roof or sometimes freezes) behind the ice dams.
