60 constant, although the thermostat typically reads 65. I don’t like having to be in shorts in the house and put pants on outside to play with the dogs. I’d much rather keep pants on the whole time. Who doesn’t like being in a hoodie?

Don’t know what heat pumps you got, but ours are more efficient than the oil baseboard system until about -10 (theoretically, we haven’t had much under -5 in the last few years). The efficiency also only really drops at -5. Daikin is our brand, they’re awesome and the reduced AC costs in the summer are massive as well.

I remember a time where our house didn’t have AC in the summer as kids because we didn’t need it!

If people really want the real number, it’s 1,390 confirmed child maltreatment victims per 100,000 children. 2000 kids are currently in Foster care supervised by the state. We have a problem, what are you doing to help?

Volunteer and donate to root causes of child maltreatment. Poverty, addiction, mental health services. Volunteer and donate to organizations that help our youth. Big brother big sister needs Bigs, your local food bank needs volunteers, and everyone needs money.

Higher poverty and more rural areas? Like Maine? We have 6 counties under 50k median FAMILY income. Every county except for Cumberland, York, and Sagadahoc are below the US median. Couple that with high cost of living and you get 11.5% of the state living in poverty. It’s time to recognize we have an issue and do what we can to make things better.
