Good luck, I love this idea. And kudos to you for being able to respond to the critiques. There are some shit pants fools among us in the subreddit, but I hope you find who you're looking for.

I’m sure the asphalt plant in Lebanon smells bad. But, I can’t tell because all I can smell is hot, rotting garbage anywhere within about 2 miles of that landfill.

'Andrew Prolman, an attorney for Newport Construction Corporation, said the company has the right to build according to Nashua’s zoning ordinance.'
This is going to be an ugly fight. Nashua should have updated their zoning many years ago. The planning board will seek legal guidance, and the news they get back probably won't be good. Westford MA didn't manage to keep Newport Asphalt out, and that's a pretty affluent town.

Asphalt plants should not be near anyone’s home. Good for the people who showed up and are standing up against this.

Reply to comment by Tullyswimmer in NH House passes abortion-rights protections by IBlazeMyOwnPath
The part you are missing is that the time frame doesn't matter. My original point is that, by 24 weeks, any abortion would be because it is medically necessary. That medical necessity is the point, whether it happens at 24 weeks or at 17 weeks.
If there is a law in place that an abortion isn't allowed after a given time (whatever that time is) unless medically necessary, then any such abortion must be legally defended. Otherwise, what would be the point of the law? If all that is necessary is for a doctor to say it's necessary, then the law would be unenforceable.
So if abortions that late are medically necessary, and such a law is unenforceable, why have it? At that point it just causes more harm.

Ok

Sure.

I'm just curious what your funding is like for this and where it's coming from? I notice you say you're looking for "founders" and not "investors" and offering pay, so I'm assuming this is already funded and set in stone?

At first glance it seems like an attempted suicide by cop, or the guy’s just a fucking idiot.

70% is pretty clear.
Unless it's labeled oddly and it's a 30% tint

That is not correct. 70% diffusion is WAY off.

I like how wmur tries to sugar coat things. "The officer shot at the car" he'll no!, that knucklehead pulled a gun on the cop, the cop was shooting at the perp, not the car. He was protecting his life.
This is a clean shooting. That guy was recklessly endangering many people. It will probably turn out the guy is mentally ill, but how is the cop to know this.

Why do you want to start this school? What gap are you trying to fill in your community? Do you have a background in educational leadership?

He ran away from the cops with that license plate and didn’t think they wouldn’t find him? The handicap tag in the car means he’s regarded.

I disagree with the private school thingie. Private schools are not bad, as long as they don't receive any funding from the government.
Charter schools are as bad as private prisons and defense contractors because they are corporate welfare.

Same, check with your town. Our dump offersv3 yards per month for free. They just compost all the yard clean up debris, so it's not the greatest but it worked fine for me.

My town residents don't show up for a lot of meetings. Really nothing at all. But man, when there was a proposed crematorium up on the agenda, the town hall was over flooded.

After reading the article this would be a nightmare for the people living near the proposed plant. This paragraph "The company’s hired sound specialist told city officials the 250 to 300 diesel trucks that, according to the company, would be traveling through the neighborhood once the plant is in operation wouldn’t significantly increase the noise. The company’s traffic specialist said traffic would remain normal, even though about 33 trucks are expected to circulate every hour for eight hours daily, based on the company's traffic projections."
