Exactly. No doubt that they will go a lot of places...as long as they are running and not falling apart.

Lol it does not take a lot to stop a Subaru. They’re pretty good cars alright, but Vermonters need to stop acting like they’re the best made cars.

Reply to Propane Tank Removal by iamthebugwan
If you don't own the tanks then there shouldn't be a fee. If you don't own the tanks then the provider does and it's their responsibility to take them back.
If you do own the tanks they may not touch them, depends on the company and overall situation.

Reply to Beware of Norovirus! (stomach bug) by cpujockey
Everyone in here talking about how it’s spread through touch is correct. But I think it’s important to make everyone understand that what really passes the infection is exposure to contaminated body fluids, in this case feces and possibly vomit. The transmission is literally fecal to oral - so a lil bit of someone else’s poop getting in your mouth.
Now you say: “that’s Fuckin nasty! I never let poop into my mouth!!”
Well, I’ve got news for you.
The take home is that hand hygiene following using the bathroom is INCREDIBLY Important. Nowadays we all love to use our phones while taking a shit - think about this for a minute. You’ve touched all kinds of contaminated surfaces, are sitting on a shared shitter, and now you’re touching this thing that we all touch all day long without second thought. You put it back in your pocket for a second, wipe your ass and despite what you think inevitably get some microscopic poo particles on your hand, and then you take your phone right back out of your pocket after maybe washing your hands - likely not well enough.
Anyway. Wash your hands. If you are a foodservice worker CALL THE FUCK OUT OF WORK, you WILL infect every meal you make. It’s that contagious.
I had it right around this time last year and literally wanted to die. I am not a puker, and it was just non stop. If I didn’t have some zofran on hand I don’t think I would have survived. I literally slept in front of my wood stove shaking for three days. My wife was out of town so it was just me dying a slow painful death waking up once every hour to lazily throw a log on the fire and sprint to the bathroom.

AHKTUALLY the 0.1% is intended to cover their asses in regards to spore forming bacteria since these things will not kill hearty spore formers like C. difficile and B. anthracis.
For a long time it was assumed or even thought to be known that these things work against norovirus.
Nowadays cleaners used in healthcare settings and (usually/hopefully) schools and congregate living facilities cover norovirus

Park and rides are famous hook up spots. So having one near a police station makes getting a handy extra difficult. Ergo hardmode handies

Not wrong. My department was staffed by the same people for 40 years. They all retired at once and now we have a bunch of younger folks who aren’t as eager to settle into one job for the rest of their productive lives. Can’t blame em.

Every job in every sector is understaffed. It’s the new reality we live in. Not entirely sure what everyone is doing….

Reply to comment by MarkVII88 in Wood stairs in the winter by RoyalAntelope9948
The trick is to get a layer of salt on the steps BEFORE it snows. Then when it does snow the snow will either melt if not too heavy, or peel right off the steps if heavy/packed.
I have natural stone steps that are a NIGHTMARE to shovel/de-ice. A dozen of them with no hand rail makes bringing in a baby, elderly relatives, groceries, etc a chore. But if I’ve pre-treated I can walk up and down them all day packing the snow down and still just peel it off with the shovel. So satisfying.

You can also paint the steps and when the paint is just getting tacky throw a bunch of gritty sand/fine gravel on it.

Does he say anything about the motive? Seems weird this dude would fight with his wife and then go downstairs to kill the neighbor. Also unsettling that they believe he lead a life of hurting people. Glad he’s been dead 30 years.

Burlington isn’t know for having smart police chiefs. What a fucking idiot. Even if the statute of limitations is up or whatever (which I’m sure it’s not) that’s the dumbest answer ever.
