Reply to comment by DaytonaDemon in VIP with that quick math by k1ckstand

I worked at a combo oriellys and vip - nobody I worked with that didn’t do their own work went to vip. I’d used them a few times with no issue but they are def trained to upsell for things that don’t super need fixing.

There is unequivocally zero risk to flying with CBD. You could walk up to a TSA agent and offer them one of your CBD peanut butter crackers and there would be a bigger risk of getting in trouble for endangering someone with peanut allergies than getting in trouble for the CBD.

I've been within the last few months. They have a bar (staffed by volunteers) and free pool tables, which is worth stopping by for a few beers and a couple games, and to throw some money in the donation bin.

It definitely feels more like a community center or "public house" than the straight-ahead business it used to be, but I don't think that's a bad thing.

I went to community college for Computer Systems Technology at EMCC in Bangor(didn’t want to pursue 4 years afterwards) and their program was really solid honestly. I believe they recently got a fat grant to upgrade their program further as well. Keep in mind I graduated 3 years ago and am not sure how it is these days!

As a couple other people on here though, I would recommend doing gen eds and such at community college as they’re the same credits at a much cheaper credit hour cost. Just make sure they transfer to your school of choice! :)

My friend didn't believe this. But it's usually 57. Occasionally up to 60 if we feel cold. Downstairs without bedrooms is drop it to 45 at night. I once dropped it lower and had pipes freeze from a draft. But honestly 57 feels pretty comfortable with tee shirts.

I leave my thermostat set around the 64-65 mark, it never changes. Winter bumming around the house clothing is a tshirt, hoodie and sweatpants. I would prefer the year round temp always be 64-65 degrees, so I’m comfortable. Now, the cats and dogs? They would probably set it to 80 if they had thumbs and could reach it. I have forced hot air and the cats take turns being North American Vent Hogs all day and night.

I have the thermostat set to 65 all the time, but my main source of heat is a pellet stove, so when I’m home it’s usually 70-72 in the house. I shut the pellet stove down when I work and am not home. Used about 1/4 tank of oil so far this winter most likely because it’s been unseasonably warm. Feeling like this Friday-Saturday the stove will be struggling to keep the house at 65
