My dad had to break into our friends' house to fix a broken furnace when they were out of town. I'm glad their neighbors didn't shoot him.

So Vermont, calling the police, not even on the list 😆

Grab your pliers, sneak over, and yank a valve stem or two from their car tires.

Call police, sit inside your comfy house, make popcorn and wait for the show.

Can I just turn my phone light on, walk over and politely say “so-and-so’s not home. How do you know them?” Most thieves would probably give up right then. No need for violence.

Went yesterday at 7am on southern Champlain. We planned to stay till 3, but around 1130 the ice really began to groan and the shore looked sketchy. We noped the eff outta there. All of us millennials and gen z’rs are safe and sound. Plus we still came home with enough for a good perch fish fry.

Moral: Be aware of what the hell is going on around you. Not just on the ice but in life ;-)

As far as I understand it, one time involved a firmware update that had to be forced from the house (and that they didn’t feel comfortable walking me through) and the second time involved replacing the switch that detects loss of power from the utility and automatically switches the house to the batteries. They did work both inside and outside near the meter for that one.

Why would you shoot them?

I hate Socratic arguments, so I'll skip to what I see as a major flaw in your reaction: you're willing to shoot and kill somebody simply because you don't recognize them.

A day is 24 hours, right?

> shoot in air,

Don't fire warning shots, don't fire into the air.

> If I see him reach for anything he gets shot. In the head.

Aim for center-mass, not "the head".

Trick question - I can't come home late at night one summer day.

Next!

Seconded

Well, he created x.com, the online bank which merged with the software company to create PayPal to get sold to eBay. So, he was 1/2 of PayPal.

So yeah, pretty sure he was a big part of PayPal.

On my pixel you need to set it to a special night time mode and then it sometimes looks good, but it kinda varies on lighting

Yes! I saw them last night in Vermont and then again this evening in Massachusetts. I had no idea what they were at first, scared the shit out of me for sure.

Wait, there's a sub for that?

It's quite sad, but this is how most of the northeast drives. The east cost kamikaze driving is just a form of social contagion that untill recently hasn't affected us in Vermont. In almost all the surrounding states, the accepted style of driving is needlessly abusive, callous, and borderline suicidal. The interstate outside of Boston is regularly 80+ miles per hour, honking and aggressively cutting each other off while tailgating. NJ Turnpike is even worse. I think it was coming here eventually one way or another.

yea ive heard that as well

Hahaha 🤣 facts. But even if you are more left than Bernie these people couldn’t care less, anyone who disagrees is trump/hitler.

You're welcome. Good luck with your move!

Chittenden county…I have three antennas on three tvs.

Wptz/wcax and their alt channels come in great.

PBS 50/50..

ABC/fox no signal at all.

You sure he made Paypal tho? You sure about that?

Hey, thanks captain obvious.

Is this a 30 Rock reference?

Pretty sure he was a billionaire before Tesla.

His PayPal sale to eBay gave him enough money to make his other ventures household names.

So again, he made a product that was wanted (PayPal) and got rich.
