You're right, regulations don't work in this case. We need to do away with eversource and make it a state run public entity.

Nothing wrong with praying mantis, it's just weird to have an introduced species as our state insect.

The praying mantis thing had always vaguely annoyed me.

I just have a drip pot. Costs notwithstanding, I make a way better (and consistent) cup of coffee than any of the chains.

Reply to comment by chezenbred in Diana's Pool this morning. by AhbabaOooMaoMao
The day after Sandy, a friend of mine who guides rafting trips called me and a few other people up and we did England Rd to just below 198 a couple times. Diana's pool was a class 5 at that point, according to my buddy. It was nutty. Lot of fun. Except the part about getting the raft back up to the road. That sucked.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in South-west Astrakhan, Russia, has some interesting geographical features I've never seen before. Is there a name for this phenomenon, and how is it formed? by zyphelion
Anyone interested in the topic of mega floods in Washington state should check out Nick Zentner's Ice Age Floods lectures (down toward the bottom of the page). He's got some great info.

Reply to TIL that in Chinese Folk Religion, a mortal human being could ascend into godhood not through the decisions of a clergy/church, but by the sheer number of people who believe that their extraordinary achievements led to apotheosis, which forced Confucian/Taoists clerics to canonize a person as a God. by Khysamgathys
I wonder if that's where Stephen Erickson got the idea for mortal ascendants in Malazan.
