Reply to Any same day alcohol delivery in New Hampshire? by kkpc

No, during the pandemic they relaxed the rules, but there is no alcohol delivery service. Since the sale of alcohol in NH is controlled by a state agency, there are no laws that allow for alcohol to be delivered. The only exception would be if you had it shipped, like one of those one of the month clubs.

Reply to How do you convince someone who utilizes NH's cold weather recreational activities (ice fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, etc.) to become more concerned about the shifting climate? by rabblebowser

My dad has worked with an organization who works with people that conventionally deny climate change. They work with people like farmers and ranchers; people who have a working connection to their environment. Their approach is to starrt by asking them if they have noticed changes over the past years/decades. Overwhelmingly they get “yes” as an answer with examples. Don’t try to argue it on a macro level, try individual experiences and see how much you can get them to extrapolate from there.

Reply to Best Restaurants in Lincoln? by Puzzleheaded-Mud7829

Oooo tapas at the depot at the dinner train is the best!!!

I love black mountain burger.

White mountain bagel has really good breakfast sandwiches and wraps for lunch.

In my opinion, flapjacks and woodstock inn for breakfast are always busy and overpriced.

If they do all those activities and deny climate change, then it’s likely they will never change their mind; either due to ignorance or arrogance.

The change over the last 10 years is drastic and glaringly obvious. There are now multiple days each winter month where the temp hits 50-60. Almost every ski resort south of the Whites now rely almost entirely on man made snow. There is basically no snowmobiling in the southern half of the state unless there is a decent snow storm, and even then, its going to melt quickly. The evidence has been clear and obvious for quite sometime.

During the pandemic you could get alcohol with takeout/delivery. I’m not sure if that is still available.

Since almost all the liquor is sold by the State, the best you can probably do is use the curbside pickup at a NH State Liquor Store.

Reply to XC skiing right now, preferably backcountry? by FecesThrowingMonkey

Check this out. Even if you’re not interested in buying the pass, it’s a good list of XC centers in the region. https://www.indyskipass.com/resorts/cross-country/

Adding to it, Gunstock, Bretton Woods, and Weston Ski Track (MA) have XC centers. Lincoln Woods is a popular spot too. I like Great Brook Farm in Carlisle, MA on the rare occasion they have enough snow to operate.

Fuck climate change. Really making it impossible to run an XC ski center outside of the North Country. We get a bit of natural snow, then it pisses hot rain for a week. Ugh.

As a skier, snowmobiler, ice skater; how in the world would someone participating in these activities not see climate change?? The ski season gets 5 days shorter every year, ice skating on lakes is rarely safe these days. Snowmobiling is almost almost actually dead in this region. It's kinda devastating. Just 10 years ago rocked. Climate scientists said new England has 15-20 years of skiable climate left, seeming more like 10-15 or less :(

It's not theft, and you don't even know what my position is. Are you going to answer my question or are you going to find another way to dodge it?

You are correct about the too late to stop. Even if we stopped all pollution right now, it would still get worse for 50-100 years. Things take time to pass. If you stopped eating junk food, it would take time for the effects of it to leave your body. The earth is the same way. As far as OP is concerned, skiing will be almost non existant within the next 100 years even with copious amounts of snowmaking. Enjoy it while you can.

There's a lot of layers of denial.

  1. Climate change isn't happening.
  2. It is happening, but it's not man-made.
  3. It's happening and it's man-made, but we're doing enough right now.
  4. Happening, man-made, but we've got time.
  5. Happening, man-made, but technology will save us.
  6. Too late to stop.
  7. Happening, man-made, but there's nothing an ordinary person can do. (Sadly, this one might be correct.)

There's been a lot of resources spent convincing people not to stop the petroleum industry's gravy train. You can't expect to fight that alone and win everytime.

It is now known as climate change, not global warming. It's not just warming up temps, but it is leading to more severe, and erratic weather. Storms will become much more intense, more frequent, and less predictable. There are going to be more precepitation in some areas, less in others. This is going to have long term problems for the hability of the planet for humans. The Earth will be fine, but it will be a lot tougher for the humans living there. We've already started to see the impact, and the ride is going to get bumpier. So hang on.
