The only way to combat this is to be extra New Hampshirey, correct Masshole behavior, and at the very least be NE surly.

Fleeing Mitt Romney town

I don't know where in Lempster, but we just go to the town's public works yard and it's right outside. It's usually sand with some salt mixed in. Find your public works and you'll find the sand

I would call the town or the towns dpw or whatever. It's usually the towns stockpile for the roads but they let residents get some.

Deaths exceed births in NH. So...

lol, I saw that pic this morning and had the same thoughts. 5AM semi truck dumping garbage in your yard.

Sounds like they got some help with the cleanup. Hopefully the snow will cover up some of the damage and that lovely garbage juice smell.

Totally insane now. Bought my house in Exeter on 2.5 acres for under $350K in 2014 and I could get $600K walking away. Maybe even $700K with the property (not house) improvements I've done myself. Of course, if I did that, to keep any profit and stay in the seacoast, I'd probably have to live in a treehouse...

You are proving my point. Stop lecturing people. This is one more reason to hate free staters. You want engage in some deep philosophical debate over Reddit comment section. I have heard all those things before, this is not my first rodeo.

I have counter point ON EVERYTHING YOU SAID. But I am not going to engage with you. I don’t owe you any explanations and I don’t need them from you. The fact that you want to continue engage shows exactly what type of person represents the FSP.

Did you not read what I said? It certainly doesn’t seem like you did. It seems like all you want to do is lecture people, but what you don’t see is no one cares because no one’s liberty is in jeopardy. I have been down that road and back again.

Plus I can give you the libertarian argument FOR universal basic income and universal healthcare. (You read that right).

So congrats to you for being 100% right about everything and having the solution to all of the worlds problems.

I am just and ignorant leftist Marxist Leninist socialist that loves beuracracy and hates liberty and freedom.

Sound good?

CC "Fidium" offers 1000 symmetrical for $70/month. Also, FTTH service always offers better latency, real world speeds, and reliability that DOCSIS or cellular. So, if you have it available, I do recommend it.

Nope they don’t give a fuck about their customers.

No complaints from me. Lots of streaming, gaming. 30+ of devices connected without issue. Haven't had to deal with their customer service yet, but I'm actually getting advertised speeds

Yes. I'm paying $49.99 for 200 MBPS internet. They will entertain lower prices if you have viable competition at your address.

The ads are promotional and for a limited time. I also have service in MA at my mother's place and it's $40/month for 400 MBPS but it goes to $108 after two years.

I have been doing the negotiations thing since around 2015. It wasn't all that pleasant back then but the last few times, they just said "OK". They are losing paid TV customers and probably growing broadband customers and it costs them a small fortune to get a customer back once they leave for another service. Because such services are sticky because of equipment costs.

When Fidium was becoming available in my area I called Comcast. I stated Fidium was offering me X price which was much better than xfinity pricing. I stated I’d prefer to stay with them and they beat Fidium by giving 300mbs for $49.95 for two years.

Sure, you can get that rate. You just have to move to a new address first.

I was told a way to get the promotions is to switch to a TV/Internet package for two weeks, call back and ask to switch to Internet only (or vice versa), and then you will get some promos similar to a new customer rate on your account, and be able to lock it for 3 years.

Also, dont use the web chat. Call the xfinity number, 1-800-xfinity and dont do a callback.

>Finally switched to fidium and I wish I had done it

We are tentatively switching to Fidium this week! I'm a bit nervous since I work from home and things are reliable enough - but I am also over the poor customer service with Xfinity and annual pricing increases. But it sounds like you're loving it? Any complaints?

>Gunstock

A ski resort owned by the state, freaked out when told they need to have more transparent finances and proper management, because they are millions in debt. Somehow that's the fault of freestaters because two of the people on the commission are freestaters? Remind me again why the state owns a ski resort?

>School boards

Take Croyden for example: Average schools are spending $9k/student. A freestater in Croyden tried cutting their $22k/student budget down to $10k. Still above average, and these are just elementary school kids in a one room schoolhouse, who despite high funding are having very poor scores. Somehow that's destruction by freestaters, even though it was majority NOT freestaters who voted in favor of it.

>Trash collection

You're referencing Grafton. Because lots of trash collection is privatized already, but there some local lady (not a freestater) was feeding bears like an idiot and therefore it must be trash collection problems caused by freestaters when the bear attacked.

Kempton Rd. > Town Pit Rd

Check to see if consolidated or Fidium are in your area.

I'm always open about it, most of us are. Politics and philosophy just dont come up in normal conversations for most folks. Going to come to one of our events then?

I pay $79/month for GigaBit, so it's worth calling to talk to someone.

Or, realistically, see if you can find a better ISP.

Can you get Fidium fiber?

First off, it’s sand and salt … not dirt. Second, you are going to have to figure out to decipher directions like that if you plan to live somewhere like Lempster.

Free sand is almost always at the town highway department garage. It’s probably down the road a bit on the old town road.

watching GPS while driving has the same effect on brain activity as drinking 4 vodka shots in quick succession

Machine gun fire in the hills, or fisher calls at night.

Offering support to first time home owners would increase demand significantly because it would increase the pool of people that can buy houses. And, I'd be curious how you suggest we "discourage" people from buying properties.

The only way out is to increase supply, or decrease demand.
