I've never heard of this before, some of those rates are quite lower than the 20-22¢ I'm paying with Eversource. Do you know if there are drawbacks going with a different supplier?

Wear layers. Warm socks, long johns, a hat. If you keep yourself warm you don't need to keep you apartment as warm.

Electronic heat is bad news

Arby's is good. They have horsey sauce.

Electric (resistive) heat is going to be your primary load.

> Do y’all have any advice or tips on what I can buy/use to save on electricity costs?

No gadget will save you.

If the apartment has an electric furnace/baseboards, consider buying space heaters and only actually heating the room you are in (e.g. just the bedroom at night).

once you sign up for electric delivery service from Eversource you can and should choose an an alternative electric supplier. Eversource's base rate is insane and you can get a much better deal.

Here's a current list of providers in NH.

It’s way safer and better to be predictable than to be nice. There’s a reason you have the right of way. Take it.

Grew up close to MD with plenty of exposure to their worst exports. Maryland drivers are horrible.

I lived in an older condo, 2 stories, older windows, kept the heat 68. Paid 450 last month for electric with electric heat. It’s for sure on the much higher side, I WFH so that adds to it. You can buy your electricity from a private supplier at a fixed rate from places like direct energy, and only have to pay eversource delivery. Still expensive though if you have electric heat.

This was one of the things I hated about NH drivers when I moved there.

“YOU HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY! GO!” was a common saying of mine.

I live in MD now and that’s a whole level of stupid drivers which make OH drivers look decent.

Absolutely!

Lol, amen. I knew I'd find my people on here.

💯

I assume the people that don't move when they have the right of way don't know they have the right of way.

Especially on Elm St. Like Fuck me. I try to avoid downtown like the plague as it is so crazy down there.

Holy fuck yes, that happens almost every day when I'm walking my dog. I've lived in about 7 different cities and never had so many awkward pedestrian - driver interactions as here.

And then the very next car could go blazing right in front of you and eye-fucking you as you're in a crosswalk!

That’s a particularly douchy mass-hole thing. I’m not saying people are that bad anywhere in NH, but they don’t use their turn signals as much as they should (if at all). People need know where you’re going, not just guess.

La Caretta’s Mexican restaurant is great

Yep.

Especially near one of the blind sidestreets or at a 4-way with only two stop signs

my favorite is when im standing at a street corner waiting for something/somebody, and a driver will stop and try to force me to cross the street lol. Why do you want me to cross the street? I'm not going over there

in boston at least, if you have a gap in the lane next to you and put on your turn signal, the driver behind you in that lane will just fill the gap, because fuck you. Only way to get the lane change is to just do it, or put the turn signal on at the exact second u start changing lanes. I've lived in a few places in NE and don't remember this happening too often outside of the boston area, but that's my best guess

Lol i hate hate hate it when someone stops on an on ramp. No one is going to let you in.

Nothing in the mall is good. Longhorn is good but not sure when they open

This! 75% of traffic problems would be solved by people using signals and traffic watching for the signal and letting the car into traffic.
