It depends on the rules of the public transport agency. If eating is allowed, go for it. Just be careful, clean up after yourself, and bring a few napkins.

They can be discharged below freezing try reading up on the tech at play here. In fact many systems will use the heat created by the discharge to warm the entire bank to the point where it is safe to charge it again. Also your genny math is wacked. No one is gonna be running a 20kw (talk about overkill) genny full tilt for those hours. Other than having a 20kw generator here which is of course overkill you are also wrong on your propane capacity. Capacity is 80% full for a tank so in this case 80% of a 500g tank is 400g.

My town guys work 4 10hr days whenever possible...4hrs of overtime every week on 40hrs...
Wouldnt be an issue if the roads didnt still SUCK.
Its just frustrating because we have the tax dollars for nice infrastructure, it just doesnt go to that.

Yup you nailed it, everyones related. Its a bunch of drama. I wouldnt care if they were responsible with my tax dollars, but the work bids that get accepted are absolutely ridiculous.
A culvert replacement recently went to bid - lowest came in at 21k, highest 35k....guess who won? 35k guess who is also the brother of the treasurer? Yup...

My town is as well. It's insane and run by like two guys who are part of the good ol boys network for sure. I would love to the state require mandatory outside audits bi annually or something like that.

Bot written article that fails to understand that corruption convictions is not a great metric of corruption. Vermont actually goes after people who do the dirty.

Flyfishing for trout, turkey and deer hunting. I'm not very good at the catching part, but I'm really good at the drinking coffee early in the morning and going for a nice walk in nature part.

I used to live in Florida and I still try to keep up with all the sh*t that happens there but jfc the corruption is out of control and they’re not even trying to hide it.
Stopping universities from requiring masks and covid vaccinations. Pushing out a county school board member because they wanted to require masks in schools. Replaced the university of Florida’s president with a desantis lackey. Tried to cover up Covid deaths in nursing homes. Tried to incorrectly report Covid deaths on the state dashboard and went after the whistle blower.

Do you get any unintended animals in the traps? I'd be so worried about that.

My grandfather, who died in 1980 at 82, used to make quite a living trapping muskrat. We have pictures of him with 30 to 50 pelts strung up on the side of his garage. His story of coming up to one of his traps and finding a skunk 🦨 is moving. He talked to the skunk telling him that he was going to let him go. He released the skunk from the trap and the skunk walked away but then turned around and looked at him as if to say thanks for saving him. He never told the skunk that he was the one to set the trap.

"State most likely to actually go after corruption."
NY, California, and Florida the least corrupt in the country, fucking come on.

I flyfish here and I once stumbled upon a doppelganger whilst out on the river.

As someone who works in municipal infrastructure, this is the biggest load of bullshit. We are one of very few states states doesn't have corruption in construction.
I also worked as a legislative Paige. We are VERY FAR from anything resembling corruption.
