Space heaters use 1500W. Two of them running for about 4 hours a day would be 12kwh.

Church rummage sales. Also Town meeting.

LMAO! No.they didn't. They didn't even consider it.

Totally agree with your second paragraph. I guess any time I've competed (football, track, lacrosse, bjj, pool, arm wrestling, etc...) I've been very aware of trash talking from both competitors I know and those I don't.

Honestly, I hope that the actual frequency of trash talking is more on the level that you've experienced; that would indicate progress as far as sportsmanship .

Sorry bud, I don’t debate nazis.

I'm not sure also.

No one cares about the dink. LoL

Opps typo lol ment regional no sure how I swung that typo. But we have a few players that travel to Hartford. They just went off to Portland. But we are talking actual regional events, so 100+ players with ease.

Our locals typically top out at low 20s player count

What is "iregional" to you?

Granite Dorito.

I hear what you are saying.

All I'm saying is that in my 50+ years competing, at many different levels and in wearing many different hats (competitor, coach, official, spectator), I would strongly dispute that what you initially wrote, "...almost EVERY form of competition at every level has elements of "offensive language" and racism..." is anywhere close to true.

If you had led with your last comment, I doubt I would have responded to begin with. I agree with your last comment almost 100% - with the exception that it's my personal feeling that at college, high school, grade school age sports where the competition exists to a large degree to further the education of the competitors, in those environments if offensive/racist language is being used then as a teachable moment those in charge of the competition would be serving their communities well to consider any potential sanctions including removing players from teams or having competitions without spectators. Behaviors change through both positive and negative reinforcement.

I love cats, honestly. I don't like people who think that they shouldn't have to take responsibility for the animals they adopted bc "its just a cat". And all those animals you listed; besides maybe foxes and bobcats, aren't at much higher probability for carrying toxoplasmosis, but are wild animals anyway so its a strawman argument.

Just find a policeman and ask him. These guys know where all the poker games are. If he seems reluctant to tell you because you’re a stranger, just keep loudly insisting until he gives in and tells you. Easy peasy!

Another option for you to consider in the current conditions... From the summit head down Upper Fox's Folly. Follow the mellow groomed trail (some narrow sections) until you get to the top of Warren's Way (it's closed to the public so there's going to be a rope there.) Here you have two options. Go right onto Deer Run, or left will bring you to Upper Bear Den. This left option brings you over to Upper Willoughby just above Lower Bear Den. The trails from here down tend to be well groomed and are wide.

You'll find the most forgiving conditions in the first couple hours after opening.

“VT is not CT” … proceeds to link another study in CT. Anyways, you’re not wrong! We’re just looking at it from different views. Mice provide the host for young ticks, but deer provide hosts for breeding age ticks. Any effort to tackle the issue is worth it in my opinion, and I do wish we had more data to see what’s going on here in VT.

Just say you don't like cats and be done with it. Geez. It's not that hard.

We have all manner of critters shitting in the woods around here. Guess I should lock up all the squirrels, rabbits, opossums, raccoons, chipmunks, turkeys, eagles, owls, gophers, moles, mice, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, and crows too maybe?

Near the end of Deer Run you can do the last moderately steep pitch of Big Dipper, it transitions from slightly steep to wide and mellow, then dumps you out at the Bear Den/Mid-Burke lodge area.

As mentioned above, Deer Run is best after grooming, which has not been possible yet this year.

Look, all I'm saying is that if you're competing, don't be surprised if your opposition says something negative to you, about you, etc. Some guys actually do this on purpose to put their opponents on tilt.

IMHO, it's far better to know how to deal with these negative comments, then to attempt to remove them (which you can't).

An individual does have control over how they react to these negative or racist comments; it's a choice to let it affect you.

Turn it upside down and post on r/newhampshire!

I've seen trail cam pictures of them in the Adirondacks, and gone out to those spots and seen the tracks. Calm down.
