I just like to point out that standard 1yr warranties in the USA are such bullshit. Other places don’t let companies get away with that crap.

Growing up in MN I always thought Paul Bunyan was a Midwest thing…weird! Don’t you know how the Mississippi River was formed? Paul Bunyan dragged his Axe behind him on his way south. Why does MN have so many lakes? Those are Paul and Babe’s footsteps.

It would seem to me that hydrogen is more likely. I wanted to convert my small sailboat to electric and it’s still a tough sell, even being not that expensive. I will say I love my electric dinghy motor.

AFAIK it's usually a small number of residents that spoil the bunch in these cases. Loud voices at community planning meetings. It is a little head spinning because up until very recently, stopping development was seen as progressive. Now...it's a 180.

Wood stove + heat pump. It's usually between 73-80. When it gets to 80 we open a window or two.

Yeah, there are sometimes just all bad options. I hate it.

No I mean, a job that provides a health plan, not specifically a job in health care.

If at all possible have you or your spouse get a job with healthcare. If not possible you have to use thr Maine exchange which has comparison tools, it will also tell you if you are in fact eligible for a subsidy. Kids ease that more than two childless adults. They really fuck a married couple when you don’t have kids. The plans will either be in unaffordable or complete shit. American health care is a wealth transfer scam from working people to the wealthy so, pucker up! We have community health options which we can afford. It covers very little and has a 14k-ish deductible.

Yep, wind and solar.

K cool. They take decade(s) to build and cost excess of a billion dollars. Call me crazy but harnessing the environment at relatively low cost for electricity seems like a good idea even if it offends your fragile eyes.

You have to be super creative with the post card. Did you know you can mail a coconut without packaging? Think outside the box. But be creative and fun.

I do think we're living in the worst timeline but LePage seems like he isn't trying. Maybe they have internal polling telling them that he's definitely going to lose or something, it's strange. Maybe he realized that being retired is better than working?

Whatever happens, we should continue to pressure legislators to amend the State Constitution to allow RCV on ALL Maine elections. The system works, it's great. We need to prevent our state from being run by complete asshats like Bruce Poliquin.

I hope the lobster industry dies just so everyone can finally STFU about these ridiculous sea bugs.
