The reporter says Twitter files show "behind-the-scenes efforts by the U.S. intelligence community and politicians to ferret out the kind of fake accounts and misinformation that can easily spread on social media."

Not even remotely true.

Poland Spring Inn has several trails that are open to explore.

There is also Oxbow where you can explore, just around the corner...

I've been there twice and very much enjoyed it, its a great spot. Doesn't change the fact they are re-doing the concept.

From their Instagram:

> "So about that big announcement. wolfpeach as you all know it will end on Feb 27. It’s been an incredible journey, but this stage of it is at a close. We want to refresh and refocus, to ensure that our goals are still in line with what we’d originally set out to do - build a community restaurant, and to HAVE FUN. So we will be taking the month of March off and reopening in April as something brand spanking new!! We are so so excited and can’t wait to share more details. Come help us send wolfpeach as we know it out with a bang. "

Classic Maine forecasting, "it's either gonna be good or bad, we'll let you know once it's over"

James Beard Award nominees will be announced on March 29, and winners will be celebrated at an awards ceremony on June 5 at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.

Cool! I only ask because the price bracket is atypical.

I have so little fucks to give with anything related to twitter.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks! Good to know!

Yeah. Somewhere between 4-40 inches. With wind gusts maybe just 5 MPH or maybe 50.

Lol… NIMBY is now the catch all for shaming anyone for having reasonable boundaries. If we can’t create things without destroying our natural world then we need to rethink how we’re living. Also- do you even live in an area where the water could be contaminated?

Sadly, that makes sense.

Oh is it going to snow or something ?

A Maine owned/operated company likely wouldn’t resource mine in areas that would ruin the standard of living for fellow Mainers. That’s why out of state companies are pursuing this; because this specific initiative requires that you don’t care about the livelihood of the region after you make the profit.

I'm all for things like more housing being built, more local industry, and yes, I would be fine with multi-unit housing units going in across the street from me, or next door. My road has trucking companies on it, car repair lots, multi-family housing, a waterproofing company, multiple commercial farms, all of that. Its fine. Great.

What am I not happy about? Having my water supply potentially poisoned forever if there is a big spill. This mine would be a drop in the bucket for global nickel production and will serve nothing more than to line the pockets of foreign mining corporations who will promptly fuck off and never come back here again. The St. George River is a wonderful natural resource that deserves to be protected. If blocking mining here causes your smartphone price to go up by 1/100th of a cent, then so be it.

If caring about the environment and local farmers and yes, my ability to live on my property and grow a garden to feed myself and my family is NIMBYism, then so be it.

I know. Minds his own business but plows our driveway. A good kind of neighbor to have.

Thirsty much, NCM?

What a nice dude

Hey there, I do not live in Maine BUT I do have a degree in environmental science.

Unfortunately, a degree is NOT a degree in environmental science. There is so much variation inbetween schools, and some schools are more rigorous than others.

If you end up in state or federal government work, they will usually check your classes and GPA, even 5+ years into your career. There are some unfortunate cases of this, where people with PhDs are missing undergrad classes for the job they want and they have to go take an undergrad class to qualify. I have seen this with wildlife biology PhD holders who are applying for entry level wildlife biology positions at the federal level with botany classes, because you need 9 (or 6, I can't remember) credit hours of botany to qualify for a federal wildlife biology position, and many undergrad programs don't require botany classes.

Take a look at the schools in question, and look at their curriculum. Take note of a couple things- do they have a good stats class? Do they teach GIS (geographic information systems)? Do they have topics you are interested in?

Also, sit down and think about what you want to do with this degree, because it's a very broad topic of study! Do you want to do soil science? Then make sure the schools have soil science classes! Water quality? Then look for water quality and aquatic ecology classes. Ocean? Waste management and recycling? Energy? Climate? Wildlife?

A note about wildlife- if you want to work in ecology/wildlife biology/zoology, do that major instead. All of these fields are very competitive, so having the right major is key.

Also, networking is VERY important in this field. Unfortunately, you often don't know how a school is about that until you get there or if you're lucky, you run into someone from those schools. I didn't go to them, so I can't answer that, I'm sorry. But! You can PM me with other questions, and I encourage you to check out r/environmental_science as a start, and potentially other places that relate to your interests within the field. There's a subreddit for everything these days!

> Thirdly: This is Maine honey, where words like Retard, Queer, and Moron alongside many other words that people deem offensive are still used because their meaning up here is not offensive nor used in an offensive way.

This is in no way accurate in 2023.

FYI: Ellsworth's first great disaster of the 20th century was the Great Flood of 1923. A spring freshet rushed over the dam and carried off the metal Union River Bridge, along with many buildings located along the river, such as the well-known Dirigo Theater, the Foundry and many wharves and warehouses. This event marked the end of Ellsworth's prominence as a shipping center. The present concrete bridge was finished in 1924.
