Don’t worry about it, Hunter. Daddy still loves you

What a difference that would make on the mountains of solid waste we toss every day

At 74, do you still use the baby oil?

If you can’t drive in any city in NH, you’re not ready for your test

While I completely agree that “elite” programs sell the dream too aggressively, D3 is accessible to decent athletes in most sports. You have to be careful here though- my son loves it and got regular playing time, but most of his friends from freshman year didn’t graduate with him, or graduated but left the team.

“D3 sucks,” you say. “No scholarships!” True, but he got a lot more merit scholarships than he probably deserved, had responsibility to other people which helped keep his grades up, and had a great support system. All very good things.

You’re talking about coaches. I’m talking about spectators.I’ve seen far worse behavior from the stands than from the bench, though I could write a book about both

College coaches

It’s funny, we did the college recruiting circuit for lacrosse and the coaches would always tell the kids not to specialize, and to play multiple sports. They never saw a kid if he wasn’t at the showcases though.

Same for hockey. Not AAU specifically but the bullshit “elite” teams that almost anyone with a credit card can join.

I’ve seen plenty of white parents do it too

Odd that you’d single out the fathers. My son was on a total of around 50 teams from 4 years old to college and there was no difference between genders when it came to parent drama. Mouthy moms putting booze in their coffee cups at 9 AM in the rink parking lot were lots of fun.

Did you catch crabs while you were at the beach?

Once they closed Miller’s everyone lost hope.

Proud of you, stranger!

Is this even a SA allegation? The article said he insulted her appearance and began kicking and punching her.

Piece of shit either way

The tree streets can be quite long, and as you move away from the center of the city they get nicer.

Also worth noting that they’re the most dangerous places in a very safe city. People think of Manchester as dangerous because it’s statistically more so than the rest of super-safe NH.

If connecting with other Latinos is a priority, Manchester and Nashua are probably your best bets. It gets more rural and less diverse very quickly as you move away from the cities.

My best friend was raised in KC and several years into our friendship he commented that he initially thought New Englanders were snobby and standoffish. After visiting his family there I understood- the hospitality was almost overwhelming.

I don’t think of New Englanders as unfriendly - more like respectfully distant. We’ll leave you alone to do your thing but if you need help (like if your car is stuck in the snow) we are happy to jump in.

Employers in America are required to give you a lunch break.

Just got back from Ireland. Nicest people. Hope they win.

I once got a couple of winter jackets in reflective safety yellow for $8 each at Mardens. I gave one to my dad and I wear one to snowblow the driveway.

It still stands as one of the greatest achievements of my life.

I just watched that. He had some odd mistakes in the segment. Like when he was talking about rate base, he was correct and that’s a huge driver of your distribution rate. But then, either out of ignorance or a desire to sensationalize, he said that no maintenance was being done because utilities weren’t incentivized to do it. That’s almost never true - utilities regularly put maintenance into rate base.

His solar commentary wouldn’t apply to any utility in a deregulated market read: Maine. CMP does not generate power and would have no reason to build a power plant.

He also discussed 3 examples of political corruption. None of the 3 were in Maine.

Yup. And NH before them, driven primarily by people who don’t have to live with the consequences.

Here’s their tree trimming schedule
