Wicked Joe's or coffee by design are my picks

Anybody have a good recommendation for the best decaf roaster? Not for me, I'm a purist. It's for my hub.

Yes in as much as I "boycott" chains in general. But if I had to choose between Chick-fil-A and something else I'd definitely go with a place whose ownership isn't trying to make life hell for some of my friends and family.

I thankfully haven't had to use this for any large appliances but it did work great when I needed to replace a cell phone that was out of Apple's normal warranty. Same deal as everyone else, first they said there was nothing they could do but sell me a brand new phone at full price. Then I mention the Maine Implied Warranty and they were suddenly able to replace it at no cost.

We did the same four years ago. Mitsubishi system, left the oil hydronic system in just in case. Haven’t needed it, and finally pulled it out this year. We have a wood stove that we used the old oil boiler flue, so that’s our emergency backup (and nice on those really cold days). If it works in our 1791 farmhouse, it should work for anyone!

I think the Volta climbing gym in Trenton occasionally has a queer climbing night.

Also, you could try getting involved in the Bar Harbor Pride group: http://barharborpride.com/

Anyone that does so is a fool you shouldn’t waste your time socializing with. They are some of the nicest girls and boys working there. Anyone hating it is stupid!

I like rock city.

I work in a Hannaford and haven't heard anything about this, so it could just be your local store. Deli crew is usually fairly small, so if they're understaffed they might have to cut some services if they want to make sure the hot foods bar and such are stocked

Thats a reasonable life expectancy for boots. I wear Merrells every day I expect to replace them every 6 to 8 months. I put them on my feet to work in and they do their time. I wouldn't take them back and make a claim, because they get abused with 14hours plus/day hard wear and tear. They live up to their useful life even though it's less than 4 years. I'd never expect them to last 4 years.

Now if they blew out in a couple months I'd definitely be going back.

Likewise, OP's air fryer should last 4 years, he has a claim, unless he's using a cheap air fryer commercially in which case I think the seller/manufacturer has a reasonable case that it served its expected lifetime.

It's not a blank if it breaks we fix it for free law. It's basically a lemon law for all consumer goods.

My house was built in 2018. 1100 Sq/ft 2 bed and 2 bath with a daylight walkout basement with a glass slider.

We have one heat pump in our living area that aims almost directly down our main hall to the bedrooms and bathrooms. The bedrooms all have electric baseboard. We have no other heat. The basement is entirely unheated and the main floor is insulated from the basement. We have a heat pump hybrid water heater in the basement.

In the winter I let the heat pump run on its own until it starts to struggle to keep up at that point I start turning up the electric baseboard just until it kicks on (analog thermostats in each bedroom). I'll play with the thermostats until the average house temperature is a degree or 2 from the heat pump set temperature.

The highest electric bill I've had in 5 years is probably just under $400. Last month I used 36KW. Highest monthly usage in last 3 years was 42KW and that was January of 22.

The no heat in the basement is going to get corrected with a pellet stove I got for free from my father. It gets as low as the high 30's down there but I've had no issues so far.

They'll still have presliced baggies which I've found aren't much better at the stickers being put on right.

We have a 900 square foot STR that has a 25kBTU Fujitsu. The Fujitsu actually seems to work better when it's cooler. The remote set point has always been squirrelly, plus or minus 5F, usually minus. We tell the guests to set it to 74 to get 68F. It's a replacement remote, although it is the proper Fujitsu one. But I would never want just a heat pump in Maine with lousy CMP service and outages six to eight times a year. We put in a 10kBTU Empire propane monitor, runs without electricity, just enough to keep the chill off for when the power goes out in winter and we're not there and there's no guest, and a pellet stove for when there is a guest, no power, and we need to run a generator. Both were lightly used but secondhand and cost $500 each and then the stove pipe, etc. Pellet stoves pull only a few hundred watts, so we can still run the stove or hot tank on a 5kW genny (just not at the same time). We can turn the pilot on the propane monitor off after April and leave it off until November. We also put in a couple baseboards, which are quieter if the guest wants less fan noise. Kinda regret that once a month sometimes when the bill comes, because some guests will just run the baseboards and run up the power bill, but they never complain so that's worth something. Others would rather run the pellet stove, so we encourage that, and buy pellet for them no questions asked. It's important to know that the insurance company gave us not trouble when we said that there was both a heat pump and a monitor. That combination seemed to fit the bill. Twenty years ago they might have held out for a furnace.

I don’t like their religious crap, but I really dislike the bland, shitty food. I’ll never understand the obsession.

100% Carrabassett. Bad dog blend or the Einstein blend.

Maybe in an individual store, but I seriously doubt they're doing away with it across the board.

Sad if true. Then we won't get any more "can't open the damn bag because of where they put the damn sticker" posts in here!

Gal, actually.

And sure, that's your experience. Everyone has their personal preferences, though. I'm comfortable with the big-boi stores that sell good shit that I can return with a solid return policy under my feet. All I have to do is pop over to Walmart, throw shit in a cart, schedule a pickup, take the 5-minute ride over, and boom, I got my shit in top quality. Easy peasy!

>My man doesn’t gem hunt at mardens.

I’ve found so many useful things in a pinch at the big M. Places like this in massachusetts have gone away mostly(spags, building 19…) Maine is still keeping it REAL

Love that place.

2 years is a reasonable time for a pair of boots to last, given that you're using them. If you wore them once and tossed them in a closet, then sure, they ought to last longer.
