I like my cozy blankets, fleece, and wool socks

68-70 in the day off wood, down to 62 at night.

You know its winter out when the pets want you to get the fire going BEFORE breakfast. HA

Wood stove + heat pump. It's usually between 73-80. When it gets to 80 we open a window or two.

63 in the winter and 68 during the summer.

As a graduate of UMF and someone who doesn't like the Bangor area (no good reason; it's just always felt wrong to me), I have to recommend UMO. UMF has made it clear over the years that the only program that matters to them is the Ed program. They give every impression of wanting to be a single program school and treat the rest as afterthoughts at best. They also have a habit of allowing buildings to deteriorate and then decide it's too expensive to fix them.

Yes, I am bitter about what they did to the Creative Writing building.

I agree with your post for the most part, but a couple things. Nobody cares about BA vs BS in CS. That said, you're right that they should do UMO no question. OP should stick with computer science. Ceiling for career and pay will be much higher. Also it really teaches you the underlying fundamentals instead of teaching you more like a trade. Even years down the line I can (for the most part) tell which of my colleagues did full CS programs versus CIS/bootcamp/IT/etc. They are all successful no doubt, but the lead/principal devs/architects are all hardcore CS people. YMMV and of course not everyone in tech wants to work IN tech, so it's all about what you want out of it.

In most states outside New England town government isn’t even really a thing (if town government exists it is extremely limited in power compared to the county). “Towns” are often unincorporated settlements and cities are the incorporated municipalities. In some cases you’ll even have enclaves of unincorporated areas in the middle of huge cities that refused to be annexed and continue to be administered at the county level (for example, Google map Houston and look at the border — that irregular shape is the result of annexing densely settled unincorporated areas) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England_town

Harris County, where Houston is located, has a bunch of unincorporated communities: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1f/Harris_County_Texas_incorporated_and_unincorporated_areas_Houston_highlighted.svg

Check out how much of Los Angeles County (maybe the most populated county in the US?) is unincorporated:

Because of the way the building is set up and the fact that it is quite old the heating is set up weird and the landlord controls it. He says it is set to 70 but our apartment is constantly 58-64 degrees except my daughters room (thank god as she is 2.5 and needs to be comfortable) her room typically ranges between 65-72 as there is a restaurant downstairs and the kitchen is under her room. If I controlled it id set it to 72 personally

I have mine set to 72 day/night year round, installed a ducted geothermal system to replace a dying oil furnace and it's been great!

65 in the evenings and about 70-74 during the day (depends on the day, of course).

65 all the time. I'd keep it at 72 in the winter if I was rich.

ayuh

Yeah, so, uh, PSA: VIP can and will rip you off by any and all means necessary. It's a fool's errand to go there vs. an independent trustworthy mechanic.

They also ripped off my mother. Tried to charge her for additional repairs on parts that were in perfect working condition. Needless to say, she never went there again after that.

EDIT: And that was two decades ago, BTW. They haven't changed. They never will change.

Wood boiler, consistently 70-73 to maintain enough demand for the fire.

72 mostly, turn it down to 70 at night, and 68 when we're not home.

60 during the day 58 at night

>Outside of New England, the county is the default form of government.

Not sure this is true.

Fully ducted heat pump with propane forced hot air backup…keep it at 72 during the day and 66 at night.

Graduated HS in a class of 20, went to UMO and didn't feel overwhelmed or out of place at all. Generally, no matter where you go, you'll find your crowd and be comfortable. Go to whichever campus aligns with your goals better.

Hard tellin' not knowin'

They have a decision to make.

>does Dennysville have its own police department? oh. well, so much for all that verbiage.

Avoiding a pertinent question?

65ish, combination of radiant floor heat and a heat pump. We supplement with space heaters when it gets below 18 or so outside.

You should not test for the general "coliform" - you know that is positive. You should test for fecal coliform and e. coli. Maine Environmental Laboratory has a good description of what each of the tests mean. If you're within reasonable driving distance of Yarmouth, they also do the analyses and their price is reasonable.
