Sounds like you sub a lot. Kinky.

Turn off your TV

Solar panels don't stop working at "end of life" do they? Don't they continue to work, just less efficiently? It's basically free power isn't it?

I sub here to hear about vermont-specific things.

I sub to other places where it would be entirely appropriate to talk about the Harry Potter game.

This ain't it.

Ripton General Store on 125. Not far from Middlebury.

Best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had so far in my travels

Muggles Notch.

Look up the anti-LGBTQ statements made by JK Rowling. Got it? Good.

Now, a common form of protest is to donate to organizations that oppose the thing you're protesting. Still with me? Cool.

OP posted Vermont organizations who fit that bill. Boom, relevance.

Still don't get it? I can smear some peanut butter on my balls so you follow better.

Even if it's just food service they are regularly robbed, and more likely to die of violence than police.

But it is fair to say we don't want this guy escalating and hurting anyone, police or not. I think what you were saying is "think of the police before you wish this guy commits suicide by cop". Which is great. But at a glance it also reads that you'd consider withholding justice to spare the police. Which prompted the "other dangerous jobs" discussion.

I never had an issue. There is a balancing game between maintaining a speed that will float you through anything if you fall off the ridges, and going slow enough to be able to steer well enough to ride the ridges. It took some practice, but it was quite doable. I never got stuck on a road (don't ask about getting stuck my driveway on the days I didn't leave before the sun thawed it).

My current car is electric, and since the battery is on the bottom and the car weighs a lot more, I wouldn't take it on bad roads in mud season if you paid me, even though it has more clearance.

Well for one, your original comment was unrelated rambling.

Two, way to site your source. I'm sure the actual stat is transportation/drivers/delivery drivers, which includes a lot more than your everyday pizza delivery guy. I'm sure you're not purposely being misleading.

For another follow-up, a little bit of difference from dying in a car crash vs. actively going after someone with a gun. Dying is dying, but acting like a car crash is the same as people shooting at each other, give me a break.

I generally pick up own pizza though, less waiting and cheaper.

Chapmans is great for gifts, definitely worth a stop if going that direction from wrj

Two in a....working group....to build reports. Holy shit, if you're going to UVM, I'm glad I didn't attend there, not much for standards.

Oh boy it’s civil engineering time! Areas around the world have a “snow load” value much like being in a specific seismic zone. In Vt some places have snow load requirements of 70lb/ft2!! For a small house this can easily get to over 20,000lb of load. So yeah, the house should be designed for it - but most houses here are pretty damn old.

Ah yes, a post relevant to Vermont. Tell me again what universe you live in and why I should care?

i type with my fingers not my breath

i type pretty fast

I think pretty fast

I know it's not the whole world (🙄) but it is the kind of move more and more impoverished schools are going to try or are already thinking of trying. This is only the tip of that iceburg.

We saved our colleges and universities during Covid, no joke. But once the crisis ended our budgets get cut again, layoffs ensue, etc etc. academia business as usual.

this is my career and livelihood and I depend on it to pay my ever-climbing rent and keep my health insurance stable so my disabled spouse can stay alive, so yeah, I take it pretty seriously, dude. I've been overeducated, underpaid and under-appreciated for too long so I'm fairly cynical, full of thoughts and opinions, and exist only by the grace of coffee and cardigans. 🤷‍♀️ welcome to the internet?

OMG I was so excited to give my brother a big ol glass bear of maple syrup for Christmas and his California girlfriend was complaining so much about how the fake stuff is better! Do they not have culture outside of VT??

Gillinghams in Woodstock has everything in the whole wide world

One university system in a tiny state moving to an online library is not the whole world getting rid of library buildings. Take a deep breath.

This is the main reason I shovel off some parts of mine where it needs it.

Natosi Solar did ours and went above and beyond in my opinion. Have nothing but terrible things to say about Green Mountain Solar’s integrity. Avoid at all costs.

I’ll “third” that choice!
