Shall we disregard my 24 year old cousin who just committed suicide? When she was 16 she was convinced she wanted to be a “he”, started HRT, dressed like a boy, started taking on more and more masculine features , was totally convinced she was a he. At the age of 20 she got her breasts removed, and was in transition to have bottom surgery. Approach age 22, falls into a deep depression, start questioning all choices she, and her parents made, wants her breasts back, and wishes she could have children if her own( which now she is unable to for the remainder of her life) wants to be a normal girl again . A few days after her 24th birthday, she killed herself, but I guess she doesn’t count does she? You are all disgusting, and should be ashamed for encouraging minors to make long term decisions that will impact them for life. Do better.

Wether it’s buckets or barrels or ships, watertight carpentry is based on 1. Straight grained wood that has no knots which generally means old growth trees and 2. Splitting the wood along the grain so as to preserve its integrity.

When done this way the wood swells and contracts in highly predictable ways. Can’t do that with most of the wood that’s available today because there’s very little old growth forest remaining.

The only things in that list that make any sense at all are H395, Increase instate energy production. Vermont should lead the way in new energy production, starting with building nuclear power plants. And H445, Place a moratorium on new prisons. We house enough trash in the state already. Let's not build places to bring in any more of it. Send the crooks out of state and build decent housing for our own citizens instead. 4 H444, Long term senior care sounds ok but more info is needed, particularly about how to pay for it

Well first thing you gotta do is source your data. Though I don't think it'd be pleasant going to school there with the F-35s. There's also a large refugee population in Winooski so you've got to expect a good portion of students to not have gotten much of a chance at education, or maybe even learning English fluently, before arriving in the US.

Winooski is a community with a large refugee population and a lot of first generation Americans. This presents lots of unique challenges especially in Vermont. There are kids whose native language isn’t spoken by anyone in New England - much less Vermont. It makes meeting any proficiencies a challenge when the communication and cultural divide is so great.

You can always move there and choose to use school choice to go somewhere else. One of my best friends in high school was from winooski but went to a neighboring Chittenden county HS through the program
