Not offended. Just trolling the trolls. One sympathizes? (It was also a Fight Club reference for those who don’t get sarcasm (or references)). Why are you a third generation Mainer? If not, you’re not a true Mainer, or so I’ve been told. In any case you’re defending some bloke who likes to call people “pussy”

Lincoln has lots of old people and i'm sure had to put restrictions to insure there is even enough capacity to house all residents that might need it.

Not sure, to be honest. It blows my fucking mind that people keep running into a pole in the first place.

What would your "solution" be?

"Oh I actually live in Chester"

"Lol go die outside"

And yet people don't seem to mind trying.

Definitely be aware that your electric bill will skyrocket if you leave it on. I don't even know what to do besides take the hit as the space heater is pretty much the only heat upstairs.

I got an oil filled one from Mardens for maybe $70 and it works great. That's basically the only heat we have on the top floor.

Expensive speed bump

Not sure where you're from, but businesses aren't going to want potentially unbalanced homeless people loitering inside to keep warm. Unfortunately.

The real pro tip is that any of your new out of state neighbors are quite a bit fattier and likely organically fed, so if it does indeed get as cold as they are saying, the best way to stay warm is slaughter 4 or 5 of them. Once broken down into primal cuts, slather them in a mixture of Allens and crushed blueberries, put them in the oven at 300F for 35 minutes per pound. Perfect doneness is medium rare-medium. Don't forget to look around their empty home for cash and jewelry you can use to pay your heating bill! Bon Appetite & stay warm out there!

Class don’t heat your house or pay the bills

In the county????? I can think of three houses that have done this in my town, barely north of Augusta

I just lit my house on fire, now I'm nice and toasty warm.

Make sure if you see a ghost open a window!

In Stonington one of the houses got absolutely fucked after the new Summer Folks who bought the house didn't know to turn off the water after they left for the winter. It ended up bursting the lines due to freezing, flooding the house and then also freezing the flooded house causing a very substantial amount of damage. This was a few years ago, but still water does freeze and cause damage.

Edit: I forgot to add that the damage caused means the entire house either needs to be completely rebuilt or extensively worked on.

Too many variables to have a clue to how much electricity it will use. Room size, supplemental heat, well insulated, etc.

They have warming shelters in pretty much every city. Fun fact, it gets cold in other places too.

Also, the public works garage will likely be operational during the work day. It would probably be dangerous to have people trying to keep warm inside while trucks are pulling in and out all day.

“Breathe in the boiler’s exhaust for heat before it freezes, you tax evading Lee-tard”

-Lincoln PD, probably

There are other options during the day... restaurants store etc.

Heat rises. You should move the water upstairs where it’s warmer and you can make sure it doesn’t get in any trouble. Especially if you keep things like cleaning agents and old paint cans in your basement.

Turn off the heat and you'll have a basement hockey rink in no time

"Sorry, sir. We checked tax maps, and your house is just over the border in Lee. You and your children are free to huddle on the stoop outside, though."
