Lots of people use AC (which most heat pumps double as).

I don't, but lots of people do.

Essex cinemas! Best movie theater I’ve ever been to!

The opera house in Bellows Falls..great venue

No it's not even that

IS that the best deflection response you can muster? Are you banking on the the fact that since i think your ideas are dumb that I must be some sort of neocon? Take your half assed excuse for a reply over to whitepeopleoftwitter or the politics sub. You have no power here.

If there was video evidence of improper forestry habits ignored by a bi partisan subcommittee would you accept it from Tucker Carlson? Or would you jsut stick your head back in the sand?

I know it was a joke. I shared in the joke. Sometimes jokes are melancholy.

it was a joke, but i'm glad i learned something today, thank you

Also ReSource, which has locations in Burlington, Williston and Barre. They're basically the same as ReStore.

I just did epoxy counters in my house and I'm really happy with them. They look just like a slab of really amazing high-end granite, only they cost about $800 for 60 square feet instead of $6,000. I'm definitely going to keep doing them in all the low to medium end houses that I rebuild. You can make them in any color you want, and they really do look stunning. They do take a lot of prep work to make sure everything is ready for the epoxy, but pouring the epoxy is a ton of fun. Look at Stone Coat Countertops' series of Youtube videos for instructions.

Another cheaper option that I've used with great success is MSI's big granite tiles, available at Home Depot. The tiles plus the plywood underlayment also cost roughly $800 for 60 feet. If you're willing to overlook the grout lines between tiles, you get all the durability and good looks of granite for a fraction of the price. You will need to know how to set tiles yourself though. If you have to hire someone it will probably cost about the same as real granite.

If I was doing a kitchen for myself and wanted an even cheaper option, I'd go with polished porcelain tiles at about $3/foot, plus the plywood underlayment. They look plenty good enough, they're going to be reasonably durable, and if I break one I can replace it. Again, this is only a cheap option because I can do it myself.

If you're going to insist on something locally sourced, you can sometimes find people selling used granite countertops on FB Marketplace or Craigslist. You'll need to cut and rearrange the granite yourself to make it fit your kitchen. You can also find used laminate counters for free if you're really desperate to save money.

Is that what Tucker Carlson is telling you guys these days?

Salvage isn't cheaper than home depot, honey. At least not in VT.

The nuevo landed gentry. Someone once said that it’s Ambien for Neo-Liberals.

NH property taxes are insane. Better to be a renter there. But I’m amazed at the tax rates in VT too. Personally, I would move back to VT in a heartbeat but for the taxes.

Savoy in Montpelier is fantastic.

The income tax thing is really not a big factor in my opinion. NH makes up for it in numerous other ways.

NEVRH is dog doo doo and a union hospital, last I heard.

Work for UVMMC, much better, but nothing compares to working in Boston. Which Boston Hospital are you coming from?

Do you know if you have T-Mobile 5G available? I ask because I know that for a bit T-Mobile would say that service was not available at an address if someone else had already subscribed in the area. Technically the service would be available, but they wouldn't provide it for fear it would potentially dilute their service.

About 4 months ago T-Mobile did a pretty big upgrade and they've been allowing new customers who had previously been denied for service. For example: My neighbor has asked not long after we got service and were told 'sorry'. Fast forward and they were able to get service a couple of months ago. Also, my service contact originally capped me at 50mb down. I just ran a test now and I'm pulling 138/34, which is pretty consistent to the speeds I get since the big update.

If you get even OK T-Mobile service in your area but you check your address in the service map and get a 'sorry about your luck', you might give them a call and see if there's a reason. I have no idea if T-Mobile is still trying to slow role their deployment, but if you haven't checked in a bit you might check again.

Smart move. Produce is expensive here and the quality is hit or miss, I recommend growing some veg and planting some fruit trees.

Some states will charge you $2400 just for littering. I don't know why we don't up this. Come to think of it, why don't we up the littering penalty from $200 while we're at it?

Capitol Theatre in Montpelier

8' screen on a 5-hour, southbound JetBlue flight. I hate theaters, but you would too if you were 6'6.

Boston is bigger than Plattsburgh.
