I like service credit union, the only thing I don’t like about it is that the closest branch to me is inside a Walmart. But they have actual branches in Portsmith, and Bedford, that have drive-through’s that I can use.

Well concealment at least

Don't let little things live rent-free in your head. It might be goofy and outdated, but it's miles ahead of most other state mottos.

Fat is a terrible bullet-stop.

I agree — avoid TD Bank. Several years ago they lost a class-action lawsuit because they were rearranging the chronology of customers’ checks to cause overdraft fees. I was a victim of that fraud and received a small settlement. I switched banks to Savings Bank of Walpole and really like their ethics and their personal touch. Whenever I need something, I can call and talk to an actual human being.

Kennebunk Savings

I agree with avoiding TD, and I'd avoid NorthEast as well. NE closed my account due to fraudulent charges, then agreed they were fraudulent, but said they could no longer do anything about it because the account was closed and tried to get me to pay them since they closed the account.

I have M&T bank as my main bank, but they changed policies on check cashing. My ex and I have the same bank so I could deposit checks "as cash" to clear immediately, but now all checks regardless have to "clear" so the money is locked up for two days.

Will likely change all my banking to kennebunk.

I can recommend staying away from TD Bank and Citizens. Have had bad customer service experiences with both of them. Citizens was really terrible. Offensive on two occasions.

I'm still with TD but only because, well, I don't even know why. Inertia, I guess. TD has been more apathetic than rude when I've had to deal with them personally.

Tellers are certainly friendly. Business policies not so much.

Edit: I can recommend Northeast Credit Union. They do have one branch in Concord but have less of a presence in the area overall. People there are super friendly and helpful. Went out of their way to help me set up a car loan.

Seconding DCU been with them for about 11 years. Had my auto loan through them before. Been great.

If you work in-person in MA and own in NH, you get to pay NH's high property taxes + MA income tax.

There's a number of things not called taxes but that basically function like one - high car registration fees, for example.

So if you're moving for financial reasons, make sure you've done the math to make sure it works for you - rather than just being attracted by a slightly lower rent or property price. It certainly does result in a lower CoL for some, but not all situations.

Beyond money....as of ~2012, 42% of NH was born in NH, 25% of NH was born in MA, 17% of NH was born in another Northeastern state, 17% was born elsewhere in the US or out of the country.

Anyone who claims that NH is particularly hostile to people from MA (or elsewhere) is lying to you.

That said, as with anywhere - don't move somewhere and then demand it conform to be exactly like the place you moved from. Sounds like that's not you.

I have had dcu for years and haven't had a problem. They also refund ATM fees. I go to a bank maybe once a year. I do my deposits through the phone app.

They introduced multicam right after I got out and it makes me seethe even to this day.

>And sure, I could be wrong. But I could also be right, and have been many times before about shit like this. It’s incredibly sad either way, but if this ends up being a child who desperately needed help but “fell through the cracks” and is dead today because nobody intervened until a shot was fired— it’s one more name on a long list of names failed by this state’s abysmal mental health resources and services

What are they doing then in the training? I see the police academy in Concord and they all march like 1 to have a lunch every single day. If they are not practicing pulling their weapons and how to make a difference between them then training is insufficient or police officer didn't meet the criteria to become one. Lastly - they might not have enough repetitive training. If a person was trained 5-10 years ago and if in those 5-10 years police officer never had to pull out a weapon then there has to be some sort of yearly and mandatory training.

This is very, very sad.

Hopefully

I’m not saying the job isn’t challenging, I’m saying that we as a country do a very poor job of training and supporting officers, often resulting in the unnecessary and often lethal use of force.

Was he going to stab them? Or you just defending murderers?

I hear Maine is real nice

I did a ride along with a NHSP officer once. During the ride along he was called to a domestic. I watched as the perp attacked a police officer and a struggle ensued. I can state unequivocally that I was shook and I was twenty feet away in a locked police cruiser. Police earn their pay.

It’s unfortunate that law enforcement is put in positions where they lack the training and resources necessary to appropriate handle a mental health crisis. I agree that there’s not enough information available to pass judgement, but this is such a reoccurring pattern within US law enforcement that there must be something else at play.

Can confirm that this is only a shitpost and not OP. Or maybe…………

my son has a 16 year old friend that’s 6’4” 240lbs. dunno if size was a factor here. just saying teens can be big. Throw a knife and some adrenaline into the equation and mistakes are much more easily made.

It will be interesting to see the body cam footage. I’m hard pressed to believe that lethal force was justified. This was a 17 year old kid with a knife….

yeah they're all dead. every last one of them. good riddance imo

The GOP will continue to try and dismantle public education.

Look I can't stand Maggie hassan but can you source where the fuck she said 1 cop for every 10 residents? That's just looney toons

Do you see the irony in recommending that a US citizen needs to hold public office to influence public laws?
