Yeah it is pretty true. Summer yeah, the AC is fine. I only had to run it a handful of times. In the winter I have to leave it on and at full blast all day for it not to be frozen in here. Even then it’s still pretty cold.

Not sure why I’m down voted but whatever. I agree, after living in AZ for a few years; I don’t think I ran the AC all but maybe a couple of times during the summer here. I’m more worried about the HEAT part of it which unless I’m running them constant full blast they are lacking in efficiency. Then I get hit with a sweet electric bill.

Have there been any more details on how they were found? My hope, in being familiar with that area, and knowing it was a good weekend for sleds and ice fishing, was that the back roads and ITS would be fairly busy and increase the odds of discovery.

I am familiar with the gaps in service, but I do think for people who typically travel in Topsham/Southern Maine, an airtag/ Life360/ FInd My service would have found them *before* they ended up at Nicatous. Maybe even before they ended up in Lincoln!

The Sugarbowl in Carrabasset keeps the arcade going - better establishment all the way around, service/food/amenities. Bout 35/40 min from Rangeley via 16. But yeah, weird decisions for sure.

Don’t try to take over the government by force or say that white people and black people need to be separated. Then I’ll stop equating the right to nazism. 🤷🏻♂️

> My mortgage was $1500 a month
I agree with your overall point, this number suggests you found a house extremely cheap. Even with PMI, it's something like a 180k house with good credit. Renting or buying, you're paying 2k-2500 for housing if you are a household of 3.
$400 for food a month is doable, but tight. 3 years ago, it would have been luxurious. Say goodbye to fresh fruits for the kids!
Utilities will average out around $6-800 a month for that household.
Transport with a paid off car will be $3-400 a month as well - to get that low $2k housing you will be doing significantly more travel.
So of your $1700, we ate $1200 to simply not freeze, and travel to/from work.
Now add in: professional development/education costs, home maintenance (2-4k/year), any pets, any medical costs (your costs indicated a low-premium plan), haircuts & clothing...
Can it be done? Totally.
But people like mr "need 150k" arent wrong that to do it requires sacrifice. A $100k family in 2005 would get to take vacations, go skiing, go to camp in the summer - not so much now.

Isn’t “cannabis” an intentional bit of rebranding and propaganda from the industry? I mean it cures everything and has no health or societal consequences. Amirite?

We will have to agree to disagree. I'm holding the opinion that an airbag will be helpful. Maybe not in all places right now ( I have service in Unknown) but helpful in general. You can believe it's not helpful because they might travel somewhere without tower access. Ultimately it's up to the ladies family members.

Not to me, and also so what? It will give someone a chuckle, and that's worth a bit on a cold af winter Monday.

No, I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Where they went on their journey doesn't matter for the future. Our state is a vast wilderness, what happens if this shit happens again and these two ladies end up going up a logging road into the vast wilderness of North Western Maine? Such as for example GPS Coords 46.5936801, -69.2576653? There's nothing up there for infastructure period and any tag that requires service from a phone and/or cellular service would be useless and they'd remain lost. A proper GPS Tracker that does not use Cell Service would still be able to ping the location.
