Slightly misleading title there, GBH.

Some state senator who has no experience with the drug gets to arbitrarily decide how much is worth going to jail over:

>“This is different from legalization,’’ Jehlen said. “This is allowing personal use up to two grams. I think that’s probably enough for most people to use all the mushrooms they want to in their life.”

I put in my own system with minimal knowledge, installed 4 units with two condensers with room for two more units if we needed it. I paid 6k all in. I had quotes from 14-17k

Always try to fight it. Worst case you are right back in the same situation and have to pay the fine. Just be honest and polite. For a first offense its almost a given it will be dismissed.

The housing problem is beyond severe. It’s almost a lost cause. Blame the politicians here, and the idiots that keep them in office and the wealthy nimby folks that care about poverty until it shows up on their lawn.

Well. . . technically, when you realized it was a turn only lane, you probably should have just turned, then found your way back to where you were originally going. (Yeah, I know Malden has some rather interesting one-ways and roads that duck over/under other roads and the train tracks.)

On the other hand, if the road signs aren't clear, then that's not right either. Drivers aren't psychic, there needs to be signs for turn only lanes. If the cop pulled someone else over after you, that says that other drivers were confused about it as well.

You've got a point that the signs suck, but you also could have handled your mistake better. It might not be worth your time to argue it in court. I would see if there's someone you could report it to - I'm not sure what department in the city government it would be.

Shoveled enough so my daughter could pull her car in to the driveway, but I quit when the snow started sticking to the shovel. Back at it tomorrow!

That’s double what I paid a couple years back for a 2800 sq ft house.

Your are getting lied to. I’ve been quoted $21K for a four head ductless system and new heat-pump water heater for my 1700 sqft house that has some architectural challenges.

Just go to Jury Duty

Have you milked your prostate? Worth every damn penny.

Substantially increases my productivity. :)

It's a joke. Don't over analyze it.

We used AI installers and for Mitsubishi we got 3 9k units a 12k unit and a 18k unit in the attic to cool the upstairs bedrooms and 2 outdoor compressors for 2900 sq feet and 5 zones it was $29k. I would absolutely shop around.

If you are only paying $300 for heating don’t do the heat pump. I have a 5 zone Mitsubishi and a solar panel system in MA. My last month Electic bill came in at $800 for my 2500 sqft house I did mine because I was on oil heat..which could had a lot more than the $850..

Look up Mr. Cool mini splits. You could probably do your house for about $4,000. Biggest expense will be getting an electrician to hook it up to 220. If you are even moderately competent with tools and can follow a youtube video or two you can do it with no issues.

Only goofballs downvoted your post

I was wondering if it had to do with population too! Either way this was hilarious. Floridas made me actually lol

Hey! If you don’t mind? Do you know where the lot is for parking for uphilling? Feel free to DM me.

I cleaned the driveway this morning at about 8. there was about 3 inches of slush. Went out to do some errands and by the time I got back the precipitation had pretty much stopped (noon). It started snowing like a bastard at about 3 and kept going until about 5 which left another 3 inches but I had decided to wait until the morning to deal with it.

UNTIL I SAW THIS THREAD !!! Then I started panicking that it was going to freeze over night and my driveway wouldn't be clean again until April.

So I went out and started the snow blower. I would have been fine waiting. The 3 - 4 inches that was out there was just fluff here in North Central Mass.

Oh well, it only took me about 45 minutes and now I can stay in tomorrow morning and enjoy my coffee.

ADDED SURPRISE BONUS: Some mystery snowplower cleaned out the end of my driveway where the town trucks left their mess after I cleaned up this morning. Holy shit that was a nice thing to do.

In the 40s tomorrow, going to wait it out.

I hooked up two of these for a 800 sq ft space myself. Cost about 5-6k total

I could buy something cheap that doesn’t work and have repair bills, burst pipes in winter, etc., or I could buy something built to last. I can’t afford constant maintenance and problems so I do the latter.

Re: degrees of poverty, it’s not a competition; a Somali guy your age would view your experience as a palatial one after all.

I'm confused by your meaning of poor. When I was poor, I bought a $20 space heater to keep my room comfortable at night, in a house I rented with 2 roommates. Id never heard of a heat pump, and buying one wouldnt have been feasible.

Got about 5 inches here. I did the driveway. It was a good first run of the season for my old snowblower.
