I'd go for a truck of hot maple syrup spilling onto a pile of clean white snow. I'll bring the pickles!

It was literally built for families…

Awesome because every time I'm there after work it's exactly 5 minutes after the gas pumps close for an hour or whatever it used to be!

It's a total loss if OP doesn't try, but op only loses IPA if they do. just submerge the whole thing in a tub amd let it soak/ softly scrub. As long as they dry it realy well, it shoudn't hurt anything (might take off the white labels though). I don't know how much these cost, so maybe it's not even worth the trouble. Screwing it to the door like it is, is just going to attract ants though.

SoVt had a guy stealing cars non-stop. Something like 20+ and he kept getting released-supposedly because it was deemed a mental health issue. Finally went to jail, got out stole again and judge stated he was a threat to public safety and locked him up.

Yeah, no offense. I’m just generalizing.

You're not blind. You just moved the goalposts. That's why i quoted your original comment.

AirBnB destroys communities and is one of the things effecting the housing market. I’m pretty sure most people would rejoice if AirBnB were to crash all together.

Am I blind or am I missing the “by force” part? Something tells me I’m not engaging with a rational actor… I’m backing off this ‘discussion’

Somebody please catch this POS Eric Loyer. This is a recent picture of him that has been in the news:

Go talk in person. You can better describe what you are doing and they can give you the appropriate guidance.

Agreed, I heat my bottles up in the oven to 170° before filling. Glad it was the board and not someone's skin !

Yea def make a centerpiece out of that.

Or if you compose wait till it dries and hook it up to a dedicate beater mic and something cheap that records. See if you can’t get some weird effect off of it. Then sample it and call it the “warm syrup sample pack.”

It’s too bad because it used to be the best source of information in Vermont. Now it just seems to pander to what must be a small segment of Vermont society. Maybe those are the donors?

One exception I have to mention is Erica Heilman. She does “Rumble Strip” and some reporting. She gets it. She did a series called “What class are you?” Where regular people talked about classism in Vermont. It wasn’t very flattering towards the typical VPR listener. It was the most true grit real programming I’ve heard in years.

The only thing that I would see as a concern is how you intend to manage waste until the septic system is installed? True composting toilets are fine and permitted when managed properly, but a pit style outhouse is probably not going to be ok unless it's a sealed vault style.

My neighbors did the same kind of thing (slowly built over 3 years while living on the property) were going to need to a special permit for their toilet and would need to bring the waste to the landfill because they couldn't safely dispose onsite; they ended up renting a porta-potty until they had their septic system in.

Obviously you don't want to contaminate your land and water source. Personally, I would prioritize septic installation above most all else, most people I know who have built or intensely rehabbed focused on that early on, well before contruction/rehab/plumbing.

For sure. Inserting race into every story, especially where it's irrelevant, and always in the most contentious and off-putting way possible, has got to be a top-down directive. It's too ubiquitous and serves the donor class's interests too well. My favorite recent NPR story was something like "in historic first, Boston elects Asian mayor, here's how that's bad for black people." Out of touch indeed.

Eric Loyer's been on quite the car stealing rampage in the past few months. Sought by South Burlington Police in February, at that a female passenger was caught. Looks like they caught a female passenger this time also. Wonder if it's the same one, as the one caught here, 'who was an alleged victim of an assault'.

>This cycle worked for many years, at least in Northern VT

That cycle worked because of the population boom from the boomers.

Also, normalizing changing locations to get to a "better place" or a more desirable place seems to be an acceptance that we are not trying to make every place better overall.

it's a mackie mix 8 and it was brought in there with the explicit understanding that it might end up nailed to the wall as a warning to nicer gear

the syrup explosion tilts me more than the lost mixer, tbqh. Don't pour hot syrup into cold jars.

I have 200 proof food grade ethanol available because of other work I do here

unfortunately sugar's solubility in ethanol or isopropyl is... not good.

Yes. Yes people would.

Nebraska Valley is pretty remote. Nothing out there except for the Trout Club.

No easy way out of there, especially if you are trying to stay off the road. Other than the road, hiking to Bolton Valley is one of their best options. 4+ miles over 2 peaks.

So this is why the gas has consistently been low at Skips.

Suck itttt

I wanna agree but this was hot maple syrup. If that got in between the actual components in the pots there’s gonna be no way to actually clean them short of replacing the entire mechanism. Anything else and you might be fine but this just seems like a total loss to me

Oh my absolute living god I am so sorry. What brand is that mixer? I can’t see the logo. Because honestly I’d just scrap the unit if possible. Once that syrup dries it’s going to insanely effect the conductivity of any connection you make. And all of your pots are just gonna be gummed to high hell. Was this the only thing that got sprayed?
