I have a couple that I've seen out once, sitting right next to each other cuddled up, it was so cute. Heard one calling a couple weeks ago too, which I haven't heard since spring.

> Sometimes I feel silly because it feels like I’m the only one still doing it (never mind the strange looks I sometimes receive)

I don't do it but I don't care either if I see someone in a mask. Maybe it would have been weird pre-2020 but now I just don't think about it.

Nope, I haven't gotten sick in years. Runny nose sometimes but I think that's just the weather, no other symptoms.

I generally don't watch or follow the news but around the primaries I can't help myself, I look at the predictions and check who won... sometimes I get sucked into the election politics cycle for months which makes me a bitter and unhappy person. I'm much better off not knowing what's going on outside my world. I might be better off if NH wasn't an important primary state and it wasn't interesting to watch. But it is interesting.

I didn't know that until today... cool I hope it passes.

Civil twilight starts 4:30am in late June which is about the time people would say it's getting light out. Actual sunrise is 5am by which time it's fully bright.

But anyway if the compromise was no more daylight savings but standard time all year, I'd still take it to avoid the clock changes.

Standard time all year would have sunrise at like 3:30am in the summer and set at 8. We're over an hour ahead of Ohio and other western parts of the Eastern timezone for sunlight. So yes, DST all year or Atlantic time without daylight savings, it would be the same thing other than naming.

I think very few kids in NH must be walking or riding bikes to school, especially in the winter which is the only time we're not on daylight savings time (Nov-Mar).

Maybe in some of the cities but those usually have street lights too.

Yeah it's not going to please everyone with every schedule.

Daylight savings seems pretty useless though, changing the clocks twice a year. It used to be shorter and we'd fall back in October, then they extended it. Plenty of countries and some US states don't do it at all and just use the same timezone all year.

I had to get on the bus in the dark when I was in school, at like 6:45am. It wasn't a big deal... it was light out by the time we arrived. It still would be with permanent daylight savings, but just early dawn.

Time is pretty important. With permanent DST our latest sunrise would be around 8am instead of 7am, and earliest sunset of 5:30pm instead of 4:30. Supposedly it would help reduce accidents with less people driving in the dark.

Also no need to change clocks twice a year would be nice

Stayed at Comfort Inn on Hall st once when my power was out and it was better than I expected. Nice pool.

I think most homes in NH use hydronic heat not forced hot air so as long as your hot water has been working, your heat will too.

remember squirrelpocalypse, well get ready for bearpocalypse

>unless the pipes are about to freeze basically

this. I can just feel dollars flying out of my pocket every time it's on but wearing a coat inside costs me nothing. But I love sleeping in the cold, even though it takes a while to get warm under the covers once you do it feels so comfy compared to struggling to keep cool in the summer.

Just bring us in line with what MA and VT of all places allow.

It would be the low-VOC formula or "mineral spirits substitute"

Thank you... I will try to hunt down an old version. Looks like these changes were made around 2015.

Some tub and tile touch up paint for chips that came off when removing adhesive non-slip strips. My hardware store only had it in white but my tub is like almond or biscuit, not bright white. I thought it would blend in okay but no it sticks out and looks patchy.

I know of this one I see it off the road sometimes https://www.lakesregioncasino.com/

It's not like an Indian casino where you win cash/tokens/vouchers but I'm not sure what the difference is. It says it's a charitable gaming facility so maybe you just play/win like 75c on the dollar and the rest goes to charity.

You're not kidding, it's very tough to get any work done. I called 4 electricians for estimates and only one showed up and gave one so I just took it even though it was expensive it's not work I can safely do myself. Youtube videos and DIY go a long way but it takes me a lot longer and with messier results than a pro.
