They're on Back River Road, near the intersection with 108.

A graduate college may be somewhere good to look?

These are not libertarians. Additionally, even if they were, it’s a ideological circle jerk and absolutely non-sensical. It’s just a smokescreen for stupid little Nazis.

I presumed this was for heating so the last three months would be fine as most people don't heat their homes during the summer. General electric usage is personal so he can look at his own utility bill, see how many kwh he uses a month and the just use local rates to calculate the expected cost.

What's up with people making houses which have an entire side with zero or one window? When a house has no windows on one side and then is combined with vinyl siding it looks extra McMansion-y

Wants legal marijuana

Hates on libertarians who have been opposed to the drug war since Nixon.

Agreed. It should have a comparable legal status to tomatoes.

Honestly, the Wickard v. Filburn ruling on the interstate commerce clause needs to be overturned. It's how the Feds get their hands into a lot things.

It is, ideally there'd be a way to have representative voting on issues, but that's logistically a lot harder so you get package deals and parties.

They should just start selling it at the liquor stores. What's the DEA going to do?

I don't understand why they done legalize possession and home growing, then revisit retail sales at a later date? Anyone got some insight on that?

Climbing gyms are fairly inclusive around a shared passion for the sport. If there’s one nearby, it’s a great way to meet people.

Taking your edit into account, you’ll love basically any town in the Sunapee/Upper Valley or Kearsarge area. As others have said, housing is limited and expensive (personally had to wait 7 months to get lucky).

You’ll have close access to Rt. 89 which can put you 30-40 min to Lebanon or Concord for all your main conveniences.

Hi Darren :-)

I see - when I initially read your comment, I assumed Bradley was the sponsor and emailing the sponsor (when they aren't your rep) is silly because the sponsor is obviously already onboard. Yes, emailing the Senate President is a good idea. He may ignore folks who aren't his constituents. That's always the risk of emailing not your rep.

I won't email my rep because she's one of the sponsors and obviously already on board.

Signing in online is easy:

1. Go to www.gencourt.state.nh.us
2. Scroll to the bottom where you'll sign "Senate Remote Sign In"
3. You'll need the date of the public hearing, committee, and bill #
4. Submit!

It looks like it's going to Senate Commerce on 2/14 at 9:45 am. Folks can also show up in person to testify.

Lol, fuck off

Heat pumps beat oil pretty well in the shoulder seasons. When it's like 45-50F outside, and they run at low load, they're crazy efficient.

Yes, I have the "Kumo Station" on my Mitsubishi hyper heat system. It can control up to 4 zones of backup heat. You set which heat pump zones are backed by which backup zones. Then you set two temps. Above temp A, the backup never runs. Between A and B, heat pump runs first. If it fails to hit set point for the configured delay time, it adds the backup heat. Below temp B, it goes straight to backup heat.

The system works great. I first installed it in my Massachusetts house, because you got huge rebate. It went from $400/ton to $1600/ton by adding the integrated control system. Rebate change more than paid for it. The heat companies charge a bunch for it and some of them don't understand it. When we put the mini-splits in the NH house, I just bought the kumo station and installed it myself.

This feels overly defeatist. We came here from NYC in 2020 and post-vaccine my wife and I have been able to make friends by joining groups in the community — she’s taking ukulele classes, I’ve started going to a local game store each week to play Magic: The Gathering.

This is definitely a low population, low density state, but there are things to do in the community. Just needs some initiative and a pro-social attitude.

You want the previous year, because past 3 months doesn't tell you every season.

Yes, replacing two walls with windows in them with one wall with sound insulation and a vapor barrier means less noise and smell transmission.

I take it you've never lived in either a decent duplex or a closely spaced single family.

Of course!

Oh wow right next door! Mind if I dm you?

Very very good points. I know more or less how I’d make friends in downtown Boston - I’d look for groups, places where people hang out. I guess that’s the sort of stuff I’m asking about here: if people know of things like that. I was looking on meetups and found some cool stuff, but the pickings are of course slim.

Hey I’m 32 and my wife is 26. We are in Andover! She’s in a similar process as your wife :)

Ab asino lanam, a donkey has no wool. Friendships in NH are born in kindergarten and give way to time and entropy - never rebuilt. Friends, split into people who are dating, split into people who got married, split into people who had kids ... but we never rebuild after we divide.

Ask yourself this, if you were in downtown Boston, how would you find some friends your age? If that's already a challenge, you're going to pull your hair out doing it up here. If it's obvious how to do it in downtown Boston, then how logistically expensive would it be to start there and slowly work your way backwards?
