In the case you refer to, the school itself failed to avail itself of the opportunity to register itself as a "religious corporation," which would exempt it from prohibitions against discrimination by a place or provider of public accommodation under the New York City Human Rights Law:

> Yeshiva does not meet the definition of “religious corporation incorporated under the education law or the religious corporation law,” which would exempt it from the prohibitions against discrimination in public accommodations as an organization “deemed to be. . .distinctly private”

Moreover,

> Yeshiva already recognizes LGBTQ+ student organizations at three of its graduate schools, which are legally part of Yeshiva’s corporation, has done so for over 25 years, and made clear as early as 1995 that this recognition did not mean Yeshiva endorsed or accepted the views of those student groups.

Hence,

> Yeshiva University must formally recognize an LGBTQ student group, rejecting the Jewish school's claims that doing so would violate its religious rights and values.

We installed ours in 2012, put in a Reliance 10 circuit manual transfer switch. Has 2 240v, 8 120v. So the 240v circuits handle well pump and hot water heater, then we have kitchen circuit with fridge & microwave, lights, living room (TV, internet equipment, lights) back room outlet with mini fridge & small freezer, 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, front room outlet for pellet stove.

What gets used in an outage is living room, back room, fridges & freezer, a couple lights , pellet stove (in winter) and the well pump & water heater (but not constantly). So there is usually only a 40-60% load on the gen most of the time.

Reliance has newer model transfer switches , ours is the older Pro/Tran, I'd go for the new Pro/Tran 2 series as it uses standard breakers, the old Pro/Tran uses proprietary breakers that supposedly can't be replaced. Generac makes good transfer switches as well. Ours is wired to an outside connector that the generator connects to with a 15 ft 240v cable.

If this were true, then certainly a private university (which does have First Amendment rights like any private citizen and unlike the gov't itself) could have policies and regulations regarding the religion that it is the university's purpose to teach, and it could legally refuse to be associated with a group that violates them. Bizarrely, courts have recently found to the contrary.

Stay home, watch the countdown on tv. We like to do a movie day where everyone writes down a movie(s) and put them in a hat. Then take turns drawing from the hat to see which movie we watch. Best family time is at home, comfortable and chilling.

Stink bug. Harmless. Eats dust. Doesn't even really stink.

Just think of them as thick ladybugs.

When it does "stink" it kinda smells like cilantro.

They're all over older houses. We call them little buddies in my house.

They're solidly on the chill bug side of the insect spectrum.

Have these groups formally accepted the school's policies regarding diversity, equity and inclusion? If not, the school can legally refuse to be associated with the group, as they are in violation of the school's regulations.

Same goes for K-12 schools. Students can't force their school to accept a neo-Nazi club. But students remain free to self-organize such a club off campus.

Great discussion! Thanks to OP for posting and starting this discussion.

I've lived in S NH since the mid 80s and have noticed power failures getting more common. (I recall getting out my portable Honda generator for a failure and noticing that I had last serviced it and put it away ten year previous! Now it seems to be a yearly occurrence.)

I'm thinking hard about solar but live in a neighborhood with a HOA that may prevent solar from showing from the street. My house faces south, so need to do more research into les visible.

If using V2G how do you make the decision to stop and keep some range for the vehicle?

So how did you do the math on what size to get? Add up the critical items (In my case well pump, furnace, fridge) add in some other circuits, assuming you wont be using everything at once. My house has a 200 amp panel (200 amps X 120 volts = 24,000 watts, but all breakers aren't used, subtract big ones like 30s for welder, air compressor, hot tub...)

I realize this is not a slick total house solution, those are $6-12,000. Still any would be a step up from my 1,500 watt 30 year old Honda that requires moving the cord around to power the fridge after coffee is made...

Womens care of Nashua, their office is literally right next door to the hospital and so easy to get to! my ob was dr Melissa martinez. She was amazing! I really liked that I could use any lab in the SNH network, depending on where I was in Nashua. Sometimes I used the main lab, other times I used the lab down 101a by home goods and big lots!

ETA: I also really liked that their ultrasounds and Non-Stress Tests were done in the same office, right down the hall. It was nice to not have to go to different places all over the hospital for that.
