Portsmouth first night is great fun for the whole family. Lots of stuff going on. I always enjoyed the ice carvings. You could skate at strawberry banke, have fried dough at the place downtown to warm up, and watch the fire works!

Yes, which is why I understand how these things took place and can have sympathy for the woman.

Being under the influence does not absolve a person of criminal behavior, though, however tragic the situation is. She is extremely lucky that help arrived and her baby was resuscitated, because she could have been responsible for so much worse.

Reply to Any home-battery-backup (or V2G) stories from the storm? by GraniteGeekNH

I don't know if this quite meets your specs, but we have battery backups on a lot of our electrical equipment that can let it run for several hours during an outage. These are significantly cheaper than a powerwall ($150-$500ish)

This means that we can still have wifi/internet (fiber often stays up during an outage) even if we don't have power.

We were out for several hours, but for us the only difference was the lights. (woodstove heat)

I was thinking similarly but sadly I think rain will squash any outdoor plans.

Portsmouth will have Ice sculpture carving/setup at approx. 2pm.

Fireworks displays (South Mill Pond) at 7:30pm

I always enjoyed staying home, playing games with the TV on in the background, getting Chinese takeout (ORDER EARLY.) , and then my mom would make a cookie pizza for dinner. Also, adults can have drinks because no one needs to drive 😎

Reply to comment by baxterstate in Newcomers to New Hampshire and Maine continue to drive population growth: More people are dying than being born, so population growth depends on people moving in from elsewhere by TurretLauncher

> stores aren’t fully staffed or that it takes a longer time to schedule a plumber or electrician to fix an issue in your home.

That's a compromise I am fine with to live in less populated areas. I don't want more housing, I don't want more people. I'm used to having to do a lot by myself or search long and far for a pro.

We need less rental housing, and that which does exist should be constrained to already urbanized town centers, not spread out on rural land.

Reply to Can anyone identify this insect? by smdifansmfjsmsnd

Those stink bugs were introduced in Pennsylvania in the early 00s and are still spreading. They're just starting to reach my area, I saw them for the first time this year, just a few early colonizers but there will be more and more over time.

They overwinter in houses, in any crevice they can find, in the attic, in the walls... it's impossible to keep them out.

Reply to comment by CheliceraeJones in When another detective asked Eckersley why she left the baby, she said, “What do they tell you when a plane goes down? Save yourself first,” the affidavit stated. After that, “Eckersley told (the) detective to ‘fuck herself’ and that she was done talking.” by Dependent_Season_669

Social programs are self righteous? You can't think of any that would help in this situation? Looks like someone picked the low road.
