Come on :) cannabis will not trip you out like mushrooms… light trippy effects…now you can have a bad experience with cannabis… it is not in the same universe as a bad experience with mushrooms. Especially with someone who does not know a thing or 2 about them… it’s a much more powerful drug, and in the right setting is awsome, but in a wrong setting not so much…. I’m not saying I did once a week all the time, but if I had a bag of shrooms yeah I’d do a few once a week… but honest last time was like 30 years ago, those were different days before wife kids etc….

Goodluck with that... if you get a very impartial judge who has started seeing things more 50/50, that shark lawyer is gonna make you look like an asshole when appearing in court. Shark lawyers are becoming more a thing of the past, which is fantastic. Should be more about substantiated facts and not throwing shit on the courtroom wall to see what sticks. Didn't work out well for my ex wife, I can tell you that much.

McEvoy & Stuntz. In addition to being experienced you also want them to be well connected within the court system, Stuntz is.

The land, it seems to me, should be all the same. Not valued differently by size. A square foot is a square foot. The structure can vary because of many factors so I didn’t try to compare.

Reply to Juror duty? by [deleted]
I've only been called for jury duty once and it was when I was living in Westboro. I received the notice after moving to NH. That was back in the 1980s. I've never been called since then and I think that it highly likely that I could get it waived if I did get called due to a disability. That is unless I could do it remotely. My son has been called for GJ duty though.

Reply to comment by Lilslugga2002 in Got a quote for a ductless mini split.. $48K for 1300 sq. ft. house. Too much? by EuclidsStairs
64°F is equivalent to 17°C, which is 290K.

From 2018 through 2022, after all rebates I spent roughly $11K doing three separate zones in my condo which previously used electric resistance baseboards for heating. I chose to do separates rather than one giant unit outside powering three indoor headunits because the separates can throttle down lower. Plus, if one requires maintenance or dies completely I don't lose heat for my entire unit. So there's redundancy.
- Mitsubishi MUZ-FH12NA/MSZ-FH12NA (2018)
- Mitsubishi MUZ-FH09NA/MSZ-FH09NA (2019)
- Mitsubishi MUZ-FS06NA/MSZ-FS06NA (2022)
I had a $450 electric bill keeping my entire unit no warmer than 64°F with electric resistance baseboards. My most recent electric bill has been around $245 to keep my entire condo between 67°F to 70°F 24/7 with the minisplits.
That quote is insane though.
If you do decide to get minisplits installed see if the town you live in participates in "municipal aggregation". This is the process by which a municipality purchases electricity in bulk from a competitive supplier on behalf of the residents and businesses within the community.
If this is not possible you can also sign up through a third party supplier like Constellation to lock in your supply rate.
If you are lucky enough to live in a town that has it's own electric company you're all set as you are paying half the rate as someone who has National Grid or Eversource.

Uhhhh. No. They handled one aspect of my divorce and completely and utterly botched my alimony calculations. So…yeah, I’d avoid.

Oh it wasn't clear from your narrative that there is also a house on the lot and you're specifically worried about the land vs structure part of the assessment.
As long as the total value of the assessment is in the ballpark % of market value as your neighbors you don't have any shot of changing this. The assessor may just leave the land values at some minimum for years since the house is on that land and the breakdown between the two isn't relevant you your taxes.

Magic mushrooms are more healthful and safer than alcohol. It's absolutely ridiculous that they were ever made illegal.

First, when truly appreciated cannabis is also a psychedelic.
Second, cannabis can also lead to bad experiences and "overdosing" (i.e. taking more than necessary to produce the desired effect, resulting in undesired effects, but not toxicity)
Third, doing mushrooms more than once a week is a bad idea anyway. It's really more of a once-a-month max type of deal and twice a year is fine even for most experienced users.

Wow, I can't believe I missed the historic moment where the MA shark community finally achieved marriage equality.
Good for you.

I don’t think they’re saying you deserve a double fine for a simple mistake, they’re saying you deserve a double fine for not holding yourself accountable for said simple mistake.
Not everyone who disagrees with you is full of hate.
