Or plan to stay wherever it is you start drinking. Sounds like OPs family member could have stayed at his parents empty house and slept it off, but chose not to.

It never did. It was only to avoid PMI and is spread by big real estate companies to discourage home ownership among the uninformed, keeping you out of the market and giving them less competition. The amount of equity you'll miss out on while saving 20% (or getting discouraged and giving up entirely, which they hope you'll do), compared to buying with the long standard of 3% minimum for first time home buyers, will always make PMI worth the price vs saving up for that 20%. First time home buyers should never put down 20% of that's their only barrier of entry. If they need to put down 20% to make the monthly payment affordable, they shouldn't be buying that particular house.

What's your metric for doing well? Amount of books banned from the public school system?

Except it isn’t even his reason on paper. His reason on paper will always be pivoting to the opioid crisis for a random nonsequitor about how hard it is hitting the state and how that means weed should remain recreationally illegal here. There is zero evidence he has given any thought to some sort of plan of selling it in liquor stores.

>DeSantis

is not a better alternative to Trump. He might appear that why right now, but given POTUS I am sure he will be his own Trump.

No one who will deceive immigrants into boarding a plane for unwitting Martha's Vinyard has a moral fiber in their body. In this important attribute, DeSantis is not different than Trump.

Sorry for your friend's loss.

I'm curious as to how getting a lawyer for a DUI works, though.

If you fail the blood-alcohol test, surely it's just cut-and-dry, take the penalty?

Seems bad, people talking about lawyers being "connected" or "knowing" the officers etc to get folks off?

I'm biased as someone who's lost friends to drunk drivers, but it is scary how normal getting off a DUI seems from the replies here?

Exactly.

Weimar is a reference to hyper inflation in Weimar Germany during the 20s.

Add the street to tie that to Wall Street today with our current high inflationary event, which has made the folks on Wall St even richer.

And crust is just the touch of crustiness that our modern world is today.

City boy watches too much tv and movies. You think living rough is an enjoyable thing. You’d make it a weekend, maybe a week, like you’re doing some flatlander getaway on a ranch to feel like a cowboy. Water access huh? Gonna have a well drilled, or you think water access will be your source, gonna boil every drip of water to ensure there’s no giardia that’ll lay you out flat? What about when a tree comes down on your road, or worse, your house and fancy Tesla? Two feet of snow followed by freezing rain buried your soft ass in your house and you run out of battery, what’s your plan?

Do yourself a favor, buy a regular house in suburbia, then just pay for a weekend away at a cabin, take all the pictures in your pretty new flannel shirts with a Walmart ax over your shoulder and say you’re a woodsman, don’t try to actually be one, you’ll fail.

He's not the worst, not by a long shot, but he's definitely been inconsistent with his opinions/policy leanings to match different audiences. He has also been very evasive in refusing take a view on big national policy issues that attract controversy, that's politics, but there are figures of any or no party who are more principled in that respect.

I'm sure he'd make for a much better executive branch than most other contemporary GOP figures, but he doesn't really have any consistent platform on national issues beyond being relatively moderate.

Depends on what you mean by 'thrown out'...did you violate the lease? Tenants have 7 days to correct or quit for nonpayment. But if they pay between day 7 and a court date, then it goes away. Though, tenants can only do that 3 times in a calendar year, legally in the state. For other lease violations that aren't safety related, it's a 30 day cure or quit. If you're month to month, either the tenant or the landlord can give a 30 day notice to vacate. If the landlord is being abusive and constantly threatening, then call the police.

Let me know when the Militia boys meet at the Tavern, I love dumping Tea in the harbor!

What a joke. Sununu doesn't have a chance!

So, don’t go to the Whites and hike because it’s too crowded but go to the beach?! Okay, that makes sense. 🤦‍♂️

He isn’t though. He just said that because he has no back bone. Honestly not sure which is worst.

But it wasnt the Boston globe version! Haha

Oh don't worry, we'd never confuse you with someone who does things.

Florida seems to be doing pretty well… idk what you’re getting at here.

Fat chance unless he's willing to switch parties real quick.

Yes, I see this all the time and have ranted to my coworkers about it. So much so that I looked up the laws to make sure I'm actually following the rules of the road. People will try and flag you through for no reason and even in such a way that would have you drive into oncoming traffic. It's absurd.

This. Big adjustment when I moved here 25 years ago.

The two other threads weren't sufficient?

From today's story on Globe.com:

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said he’s considering a bid for president, one of his most direct statements to date about whether he may enter the 2024 race.

“Yes,” Sununu said Sunday when asked by CNN’s Dana Bash on “The State of the Union” whether he was mulling a presidential run. Sununu appeared on the show the same weekend that former president Donald Trump got his campaign underway with visits to New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Although the Republican governor said he does not have a timeline on when he might make an official decision, he cited the Granite State’s “live free or die spirit” as the ideal model for the GOP moving forward, noting that it “works really well” in New Hampshire.
