K.

I’m going to PM you.

Are you only looking for side work or are you looking for work work? My Dept is hiring for entry level IT, starting pay is minimum $22/hour plus benefits, with average pay in my dept is somewhere around $30/hour for experienced techs. Max pay is ~$42/hour, although you’ll never be hired on at that rate and it will prob take many years of service to hit cap.

You’re not going to find high paying, part time work up here in industry or tech. If you want part time hours, the service industry is down bad and paying around $20 if you’re worth your salt. You’ll find something in time, best luck OP.

It’s not often I see someone refute their own point that quickly without realizing.

Addiction is hard for people to break, I don’t mean couch to 5k hard I mean feeling like you are gonna die because your brain is now wired to need an opioid just to function.

Free drugs won’t stop addict using, that’s not the problem it’s solving, it’s solving 4 other issues.

1. money funding gangs and associated violence
2. money needed to buy drugs resulting in catalytic converter thefts
3. reducing harm from unsanitary injections, ODs and impure drugs
4. it places drug users within easy access of professional help. Something most dealer don’t provide.

Making drugs free won't stop junkies from doing junkie shit my guy. They still won't be able to hold down jobs or pay bills or take care of their kids. My little town is completely overrun now with drug enthusiasts and on a human level I feel bad for them. For what they've become because of drugs, not because they can't pay for drugs. Guess you'll have to keep stealing catalytic converters.

I remember trying to look out our picture window which was on the second floor. The snow was over half way up. It was a kids dream world. And the tunnels after the plow went through our driveway!

Need to feed it that more often to get the heroin pictures.

Fun fact! Climate happens across the entirety of the planet, and the atmosphere doesn’t recognize international borders. What that means is if it can happen there it can happen here because our CO2 emissions and their CO2 emissions combine when the wind blows. So either humans get over their arbitrary bullshit and get our act together or we’ll all be getting dead together.

I missed that hot sauce one. Woo eee is right

Yeah we had one we'd sled through

What county is Europe in? I missed the part where they said anything about Vermont.

Not really, our daily weather is very different than climate.

As others said, nice summer weekends can get booked fast, so reservations come in handy.

That said: in the national forests and some state forests you can dispersed tent camp in certain areas (there’s rules on distance from trails and water, so google around before you pitch a tent in the woods). A friend and I spent a week driving around Vermont, and camped somewhere free every night.

just bc you don't get it doesn't mean it's irrelevant.

Funny how 60s had a similar political climate to nowadays and both rival each other for highest murder rates👍

If the AI came up with the name that's pretty cool

I knew that dude.

First, he was a total piece of shit as a human.

Second, he was from Massachusetts.

We had a big parking spot at the top of our driveway. They plowed up all of the snow into one tall bank on the downhill side, and one on the uphill side. We would climb the bank on the uphill side with our sleds, and sled down the hill. But the bank there was too big on the downhill side that winter, and that ruined it.

So some of the older kids dug a long tunnel up through the lower snowbank. On the uphill side, we make it like a bob sled run with walls. That way we would hit the tunnel. Then somebody sprayed the hose on it to ice it up. So we raced down the uphill bank, through the tunnel, and then down the long hill. It was about a half mile down. The adults would sometimes meet us with the snowmobiles and tow us around the field, back to the road and back to the top. Sometimes we had to walk over to the driveway and rode back up in the back of the pick up truck. I was 8 that winter.

Can't really consider it a thaw when things never really froze to begin with.

It was Christmas time in Wilmington. All of the cousins were here and staying at my grandmother's house. The snow was up to the kitchen window. The drift here led to the top of our regular sledding hill. There were 9 cousins and some neighbors, so maybe 15 or 18 kids, and about 6 dogs.

We would bring our sleds into the kitchen, and my dad or uncle would lift the kid into the sled. Then down we went, with a dog chasing us. There were two windows, and after a while, we raced each other. Grandma sat there smoking cigarettes and sipping bourbon laughing at all the kids and sleds and dogs passing through her kitchen.

If we're going to do a comparison, here are some other cities in the area we can compare Burlington to:

​

Burlington, VT, 5 murders, murder rate: 11.2/100,000

NYC, 419 murders, murder rate: 4.8/100,000

Boston, 41 murders, murder rate: 6.1/100,000

​

Here's a list of more rates around New England:

Once again, this could just be a statistical anomaly. But if we're going to compare cities, we should look at the rates, not just the totals.
