Give the churches a shot for soup kitchen stuff. The goodwill is always looking. You can check out Washington county mental health as they may have some opportunities as well. The restore in barre is a good resource as well. Good luck and thank you for giving back.

Uhm I've always kinda drifted like in the last two years, I've helped raise money for war orphans, given/made care packets for the homeless, phonebanked and canvassed for local politicians, gotten grocery orders/chores for older folks cause of covid. Raised money for the gay youth. I'm probably just gonna try most places for a few weeks to see what clicks.

Reply to comment by MarkVII88 in Hartford Redemption struggles to keep employees in what owner fears is a dying trade by DaddyBobMN

I'll post to you the same thing I posted elsewhere in this topic.

>I've talked to MULTIPLE employees at this location.

>They are all very vocal about the fact that their employer is very abusive, and not at all a good boss to work for. One of those "Employees are lazy, nobody wants to work" type of people.

>Just as an aside. There's a reason why they struggle to keep employees.

If you're well known in the area for being abusive to your employees and don't pay properly, you're going to continually get lackluster employees. Pay more and you can pick whomever you want.

Copyright is a law. And if an artist makes something by their own hand, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO TAKE IT, AND CLAIM IT AS YOURS.

YOU can't do that. And an AI shouldn't be allowed to do that either.

AI takes ORIGINAL art pieces, mashes them together, and gives you the result of the prompt you typed in. It's highly grey, lawfully.

Sounds like you're making good plans; 90% of roads are dirt and pothole-proof vehicles pay off, specially during mud season:)

Green Mountain Club should be up your alley if into hiking. The whole growing/veggies and animal husbandry thing is the next level if you're intending to actually homestead. Was just suggesting ways to meet/integrate that might be helpful.

Regarding dogs it appears you have a handle on that too; though I cannot stress E-collars (Garmin Sportdog Pro) highly enough, as they are a perfect way to communicate w/your pooch. Specially when they see 'squirrel' and go off on a mad chase. But to each their own.

Also, FWIW, local small taverns are cool too; specially if they hosts local musicians/bands. Also, was a time when VT had fantastic festivals - the reggae-fest for one. Tix were cheap, a don't miss event. That's kinda petered out, but be sure to check out Bread-n-Puppet events; worth a drive.

Stay green, stay toasty!
