This made me laugh, cuz weed was illegal during my first 2 marriages, and I don't know if it would have saved them, but I would have given a few less fucks.

What area are you looking in?

Not the direction I thought you were going in, but ok, I hear you.

We only have one Earth!

Do you live in New York City?

It's getting unusual that a state with Maine's population has two sort-of-statewide newspapers of such relatively high quality. Many states are lucky to have one and some really don't have any.

Portland Press Herald has more articles/political content/editorial letters etc but obviously has much more of a focus on Portland/Southern Maine. Local development and city politics are covered pretty heavily.

BDN has a wider angle looking at the state and carries more local news to your area, Ellsworth, downeast etc.

Who said it was? Oh that's right. You did. By going off on the guy who said the weed sales would be boosted. As if he was wrong. I love weed because it makes my ol lady put up with my shit lol

I know, I am talking about the TOU plan offered, not the seasonal, which is why I called it the TOU plan.

It is .13KW/h during peak and shoulder times and .06 during off-peak and weekends. Off-peak is 8pm to 7am, so 11 hours.

I just don't see that plan being better than ET that is at the lower rate all the time.

Adding a Heat Pump to my current set-up vs oil to go for the HP plan would increase my usage because I would be heating parts of the house I currently don't. Unless I just heat the back area that is currently heated with electric, which I don't think is good long term but may be worth it for that rate during winter.

A large amount of people, understandably, do not appreciate 3:45pm sunsets and feet of snow. Winter is not for everyone.

So I posted earlier numbers based on calcs from 2021-2022, which was 31,521KW/h. For the 2022-2023 year, the total is 19,318KW/h. That would save about 417.58 over a year at that rate. Not quite as good, but better than nothing.

There were 7-8 people living in the house during the earlier time period, which is why usage was so high.

Very welcome!

Maybe the majority are just too stupid to be sad about it lmao

I'm not sure what's worse, Mississippi being in the top ten or the white letters explaining what the map is overlapping the black font that already explains what the map is.

Do you want to stay in Maine? Cause the Wendell Berry Farming Program in Kentucky is exactly that, it’s a free 2 year degree in agriculture, you just have to work the land the whole time, room and board is included I’m pretty sure. So you get experience and an associates as well as 2 years of not paying rent or for food, all you got to do is work and learn.

Nah - pretty damned good. But thanks!

I guess you never went to keg parties? 😉

🤣🤟

Why not grab one of each at a store, check out the content, and see which you prefer?

Alternately, see if either offer a free week or something before subscribing online (when you choose one, just cancel the other)

I don't have money to do such things, but that's what I'd do if I did.

With that kind of workload, UMaine extension workshops could also be a good option to dip your toe in.

Talk to the farmers that have apprenticeships listed in your area. Just email them.

Just made reservations
