Do not, my friends, become addicted to heat. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!

Yeah it's mostly at dealers or equipment rental places. Some may be leases at the end of the term too.

I have a kind of weird one, I take pictures of construction equipment for banks/lenders. They only ask me to do it about a half-dozen times a year but it generally only takes an hour and it pays $100 so it's nothing to sneeze at. I don't necessarily need the extra money but it's so easy I haven't stopped doing it.

I'm sorry I don't think I was clear. Is there a Korean neighborhood or something in that area in Bangor that inspired that section of your map?

This is clever. I can't figure out what Dirigo Seoul is in reference to though?

Yeah 182 is real nice. The stretch by Tunk lake and (I think) Long pond especially.

Reply to comment by Massive_Fault9013 in Group opposed to Maine consumer-owned utility turns in signatures for a ballot question of its own by DrMcMeow
Because it's not specifically a ballot initiative opposing a publicly owned utility. The actual wording would just require voters to approve any government debt over $1 billion.
Which I personally don't support but I can see the appeal of it. It's one thing to support the state taking over the electric grid, it's another thing to support a $13 billion bond measure to take over the electric grid.

Reply to Looking to start Snowboarding.... What do I need to do/get/buy to make this dream a reality? by YahYah2424
I'd get a helmet. You're not going to be going fast at first but you might be falling and there's always the chance of hitting your head when you fall. I'd get goggles as well so you're not squinting all day if it's sunny and your eyes aren't watering all day if it's windy. You'll probably want some sort of ski gloves, your hands will be touching snow a fair bit so you don't want cloth gloves that'll get wet easily.
Lessons will probably start with the instructor walking you a ways up the mountain carrying your boards and teaching you the basics over a short area. They won't just stick you on the chairlift right off. Probably just rent your board and boots from the mountain to start, I'm sure they have a rental/lesson package.
As an aside, are you sure you don't want to learn to ski? I snowboard and kind of wish I learned to ski instead. Don't always have to be strapping/unstrapping a boot to get around, easier to get around on flat areas, and skis are faster.

Yeah, its not really marketed to or useful for the average person. A law firm I worked at had a subscription that we occasionally made use of. Just saying, if you did want to find out who a car belongs to it's pretty trivial to do so.

It's like $100 yearly subscription for InforME which gets you access to that and other Maine public records.
There are private services as well, I imagine they pull from an InforME account as well as other sources.

Reply to Creationism in Maine schools? by Shell58

If you go down to "standards" at the bottom you could see if there is anything under history or science (I'd assume it's one of those, although creationism obviously has no basis in either) that would require it to be taught.
If anyone has kids, or is just interested, it might be worth taking an hour or so to look at what knowledge we're expecting kids to end up with these days.

Reply to Please Bring the Amtrak To Bangor by PhiloBlackCardinal
I'm being a little snarky, but have you contacted a representative or anything about this, or is the extent of your effort? Because asking reddit is going to accomplish nothing. Reach out to Joe Baldacci about it, he sponsored a bill last year to study bringing rail service to Bangor.

Can't say they have it for sure, but maybe you'd have some luck at a specialty beverage store like Damon's in Bangor or Stomper's in Holden? I know thats at the outside edge of the radius youre looking in but it couldn't hurt to give them a call at least.

Replacing your heat source is, for the most part, going to be just as expensive as replacing the tank.
The only thing that would probably be cheaper is buying a pellet stove and installing it yourself.

Is that actually stated somewhere? Or do you think maybe it's really hard to recruit people to come work at a nondescript school in Presque Isle?

Good thought but the Celtics are only on ABC three or four times this year. NBA doesn't have an over-the-air presence like the NFL does.

I'm not sure if it comes with significant financial incentives but USM has a fifteen month BS to RN program that isn't terribly expensive.
