In over 20 states in the US GLBTQ people can still be fired, lose their housing and health care for being gay. Every single one of those states is run by Republicans. Over 300 laws are being proposed in Republican states to deny trans citizens health care and access to gender affirming g treatment. Education is under attack that addresses systemic racism and minority representation. Educate yourself.

From some friends in Maine, of course. Perfectly legal to ship these seeds, as they contain less than 0.3% THC and are therefore qualified as hemp.
Also, a lot of dispos in state have seeds. At least the ones in Lamoille county.

Lol yea. I don't agree with the national GOP but Phill Scott is the epitome of RINO.
He also has the highest approval rating of any governor in the United States. He's done a good job and denoced the curret GOP shitfest.
I don't get people who hate people soley based on their affiliation. It doesn't mean Scott is MTG if Desantos decides to be a dick.

No, I still would have gotten the downvotes, because the people that downvoted me are the same people that were parroting the "don't worry, kids are resilient" talking point.

The majority of players have at least high school experience, some have college experience, some are playing again for the first time since little league.

sure, if you swerve into their lane and slam the brakes. that's not the premise of 99.99% of brake checks, in which the person you're following is already in your lane. fair enough on swerving in first though
and finally I'm not trying to le reddit you but *brakes

Daily reminder republicans fought against unconstitutional forced shutdowns and vaccine mandates.

Reply to Tesla Powerwall by Horrible_eggplant
We have one. For the January billing cycle, it used 42kwh to recharge after power was pulled to the grid (Tesla app number). That amount was deducted from our usage. We “sold back” 33kwh (GMP app number). The only deductions on the bill are the $2.00 Tesla efficiency credit thats on every bill. 76Kw is basically the difference between our usage amount and what the bill says we used, so there’s that.
The system is in the basement, tucked away in the corner. “They” came in, took some measurements and photos of the wall, path to the area, driveway, etc… etc… Had me point out all the things we wanted to stay on and what was good to be off. A few months later, 3 fellas showed up, went down to the basement and worked their magic. When they were done, one guy walked me through everything. They ended up adding 3 panels next to the main panel. Two deal directly with the power wall. The third was a sub panel that holds everything they pulled from “inside” the power loop, baseboard heaters, heat pumps, stuff like that. The install process, from them showing up with the boxes to leaving was a whole afternoon. The folks were all licensed electricians from Burlington (I’m in Quechee), and the work they did was tight and up to code.
Last time the power went out, the big ice storm, we turned off and unplugged everything except the two 11w LED lights in the room with our wood stove. The water pump worked, but the water heater is on a separate power system (GMP charges 0.08 less per kwh for the water heater if you let em turn it off a few hours per day) so we had running water. Our only extraneous power was two ipads and two cell phones. Our total power consumption per day was down to around 1.5kw. That number is the one you need to know if you want to figure out how long the batteries last.
All said and down, we plan for 4 days of off grid power. We “can” stretch it out by unplugging the basement freezer, lowering the pump pressure on the well and such, but we’re not gonna do that unless GMP has projected more than 4 days repair.
We’ve had to schedule a service call. No idea why, just started getting emails and text messages from the automated system saying we needed it. I can tell ya more after March 1st.
We did opt to pay for the system up front vs stretching out the bill. We did ask about adding batteries after the Jan power outage, but GMP’s limit is two and they don’t seem amenable to me adding batteries they didn’t provide. Since Tesla stopped selling the systems independently (you have to buy the solar panels now to get the batteries), it’s not an issue. The installer said GMP didn’t have plans to recover the powerwalls, but that was a few years ago and the installers didn’t work for GMP so take it for what it’s worth.
Overall, if I had to do it again, and had the means, I’d definitely go with two batteries.

The worst part was ESSER funds being used to give school staff bonuses instead of benefiting the children.

But we were told repeatedly throughout school closures not to worry because kids are resilient.

Had our unit about 5 years now so who knows. I bet most people want it gone I would like to tinker with it though. Even if the batts were pretty diminished it would serve me well. It's the hour here and there when power goes out that it's needed to keep my boiler pumps and other stuff running. I have a genny for long outages.

Right, but how's the skill level? I guess that is what I meant to ask, sorry. Have most of the guys played in college? some high school? or completely amateur?

Hey OP, I think you have some misconceptions about Vermont republicans so as someone whose Voted republican in this state for 6 years let me paint you a picture of my day to day life so you can visualize that we’re not all bad people and are actually quite normal!
I wake up at about 6:30Am, I jump out of bed and salute the nazi flag 7 times. I then proceed to go my cabinet and grab my unfair-trade coffee created by exploiting BIPOC communities in central Africa. It’s those first divine sips that paints a lucid picture of an unwilling child laborer being forced to work 16hours a day. God bless
I hop in my shower and use environmentally unfriendly soaps and conditioners that use micro plastics that are released into our local water supply. Heh cry some more libtards! Step out of the shower making sure to use all the hot water before my wife so she can face the stark cold reality of what us white men face on the daily( we are the most repressed race) I then demand she make me a breakfast of only industrialized farm raised beef and pork. The enviormental impact and the suffering of the animals make me ponder on the successes of what a grand free market country we are.
After some quick banter with the wife and our innumerable belligerent children discussing mainly the positive sides of eugenics, I hop in my Ford F-350 super duty. Dually, Cummins super max engine and no catalytic converter. Straight piped to make as much noise as possible and bully bars in the front to run over climate protestors. Rip the whip going 65 in a 25. Being sure to roll coal on any person with an lgbtqi+ flag on their lawn or cyclist.
Finally get to the job site. Spend my time arguing people on r/politics and shitposting on /pol/ (where the real news is) I then hop back in my truck, crush the obligatory 6pack of miller before I come home.
I walk through the door slightly tipsy. I notice my wife hasn’t taken child #14 to his mandated militia training. I become furious and ask her if she is intentionally trying to turn my beautiful child liberal CUCK!? either way we start throwing hands, but due to my 5’01 frame she quickly overpowers me.
She then cooks me a meal again made of dairy only farmed by illegal migrants. We then proceed to talk about how every problem ever created was solely invented by democrats and George soros.
We put the kids to sleep by playing them Trump Audio clips and then proceed to drift off in our Trump 2024 blanket in the back of our double wide trailer.
Does it make Sense now?

American children are guinea pigs in a malicious, demented social experiment involving CRT and LGBT ideology being waged against them by rootless cosmopolitan billionaires trying to destroy the United States from the inside out via psychological warfare. Everyone seems to know this but nobody is doing anything about it.
