Reply to comment by outer_fucking_space in If anyone is looking for a summer whitewater rafting guide job, North Country Rivers on the Kennebec and Penobscot are hiring. by HarpuasGhost

I had a friend that was dating a teacher when they were both right out of college. She dumped him before going back to her summer job working for a rafting company because she wanted to be able to have casual sex with the other seasonal workers. He did not handle it well (he was really a kind of asshole about it and got drunk and made a scene when he ran into her at the bar afterwards). She had some unique talents though. 🤣

Airtags work via bluetooth. When other iphones see an airtag they log and report it. That's how airtags get tracked, they don't talk to cell towers. If you're in the woods with an airtag, and your phone is dead, there's no other phones around to track your airtag.

They were tracking them via cell tower pings but springfield was the last ping then it stopped.

A full-blown GPS tracking device could have reported exact locations and direction of travel before losing connectivity.

Reply to comment by MontEcola in Anyone else heard about this? Aroostook Centre Mall is dead. by AthenianThief

>Perhaps its one company?

Well, there are a few major mall companies around. Simon malls is a big one here on the East Coast. I don't know how far they stretch, but for a while most of the malls that were still functioning that I would see were all Simon malls.

Edit:Looks like they are all over the world, actually. If they aren't the biggest, they must be one of them.

Reply to Maine's newspapers doing the right thing by dj_1973

What happened to actually reporting the full context of the story?

Blindly telling people what to think is not journalism, its indoctrination.

​

We have had enough of that from the news media over the last few years.

Cool ya. I actually did just get an adapter. I just need to find a good drill. It looks like it'll be around $200 based on what tips I've found on the Internet. I figured too then I'll have a really good drill too. I really do want to try fish bait. I'll try shiners.

Exactly. It is best from a public safety standpoint to keep the general public in the dark about the contents of what gets transported on the road and rails. There would probably be many more east Palestine events if the public knew when and where hazardous materials were being transported. There will always be a subset of society with bad intentions

if you have a newish hand auger with removable handle you can often times find a drill chuck adapter and use a hammer drill. They do have fancier drill augers but they are getting into to the $200 range just for the auger. I use the strike master lazer 8" with adapter. Most people I know are switching over to this style just because how compact and light it is & they just rip through the ice without any screwing around with small engines. With the bait not sure if you brought water, but most bait places will let you dip water from their tank. That will make it so the fish won't be shocked to new water temp. I usually go with shiners because they are a lot more hardy then smelts. Smelts die pretty easy, shiners on the other hand will probably live in that water for days.
