When I was at UVM, the librarian often taught classes on how to use the resources. Librarians are valuable, contrary to what book-burners think.

Reply to Questions about snow removal by 7billionpeepsalready
One problem is clearing any vents to monitor heaters that may be on a 2nd floor or vents for your plumbing. Vermont's housing stock is very old and with that, there are houses that do not meet today's standards. Also several generations have done diy repairs that aren't up to handling tons of snow. My house is in that category.

Reply to comment by Aperron in Seeking Advice: Boiler by Some_Mediocre_Guy
Ok. I know very little on this topic. I was assuming my roughly 37 year old boiler was a massive problem. However, it has been very well-maintained, as far as I've gathered. I'm still near the upper end of that 30-40 year time frame, but I figured it probably should have been replaced 10-15 years ago. Must be the curse of modern living - I just didn't think oil boilers were built to last that long. I appreciate the insight.

Yeah and they should start with eliminating "administrative redundancy" (more Vice Presidents than you can shake a stick at).

When I went to UVM, we still used books. They probably still do (the Howe Library).
OP's "argument" (if you can call it that) is wishful thinking.

It's more that... can we trust him not to kill innocent people because he doesn't get his way, has to function within the rules of society, and gets his feelings hurt?
I don't see much about him that makes me trust that.

Ah, so the Steven Sea-gull business model. I hope he doesn't have to many payments left to big Steve for the franchise.

You're just like the OP. Another clueless twit pretending to be an expert on something they know little about.

I've considered getting a pellet or wood stove for supplemental heating. My main concern is ventilation. Did you get one installed that needed a new pipe/chimney installed? I was trying to figure out how much that might cost, on average. I'd also appreciate any suggestions for local installers/suppliers near me (Barre area).

It’s the 7th most dangerous job in the US-wouldn’t want to ask too much of them. Policing ranks 22nd.

He's probably one of those assholes that thinks you can just move to Vermont and do whatever you please and no one can touch you. That's far from the truth and if you piss off the wrong people, they'll get you one way or the other.

How is this different than making the argument about online universities in general. Why pay for sports, why have gyms, why have food service, etc. I used the library whenever I did research for papers, and not all documents are available online. I feel like you rather than making a critique about libraries specifically your real argument is about the utility of services a college provides and need for said services. IMO, this argument is a fast track to privatization and gatekeeping what otherwise would be considered a public asset.

No! Get out of here with reason! Insufferably outrage without information is needed!
From a couple articles, it would prevent minors from being on public lands with a gun without adult supervison, so yes, that summary from articles would prevent hunting.
That means from the time I was 14-18, I wouldn't have been able to hunt by myself.

What a piece of shit. Can't claim to be for law and order if you don't even follow the law(s) in the town/state you live in.

I set it up? Fire away.
I didn't say he was right. I wrote that he wasn't fired for that based on an article....nothing to do with him being right. I said he wasn't fired for....what did you say....oh, being white. And to take it further, wasn't fired because of the video.
An ad hominem would be saying you're a dumbass for believing it that without actual proof.
To perform another ad hominem, you're a dumbass if you think that one page document says quotas. I didn't seem to catch racial quotas anywhere there.....almost like it's not breaking the law.
Oh, and is the teachers union the school making the hiring decisions? Oh, they're not? Because the teachers union isn't in charge of UVM....so a union and say things it wants....because it's not the hiring authority? Holy shit! Glad we could come to that realization together to figure out the teachers union isn't UVM!

Don’t be stupid, turning some of these nut jobs into martyrs only emboldens more nut jobs.

This guy has both claimed to be some secret squirrel ex military and also a Fed or cop, he is/was none of these things. The guy lost his gun rights and can’t legally own or handle firearms yet somehow he’s running a paramilitary military school and threatening to kill his neighbors.

Just wait until you find out that in Vermont a 16 year-old can conceal (or open) carry a handgun.

For someone that went to college, you seem to be pulling things out of your ass and presenting them as fact. College students absolutely need helping finding information, especially with all of the DIS-information out there.
