Oh shit aren’t you that guy who got roasted for making some cringe gatekeeping solar post and then deleted it? Your name seems vaguely familiar for some reason.

Sir this is a Wendy’s

I'm looking at butchers because I want to support local business. I'll still check out the grocery store though. Maybe they sell local stuff like they do with milk.

Lunch menu is much cheaper, still great food

If you're a glutton for getting absolutely roflstomped, you're free to do what you want ❤️

Wait until you get a load of mine :)

Call the grocery store.

It was 2% last year. After 2018 near disaster of a winter, ISO got serious about fuel reserves. Now we have multiple dual fuel plants that can switch from natgas to fuel oil during extreme cold when natgas gets priority to heating demand.

It really should be 0% oil and 0% coal at this point but multiple reasons why we're not there yet.

Fortunately most NH schools are on vacation this week.

Firefly.

What I can say is that I’ve been to several places in NH that are supposedly hangouts for people in the lifestyle. For example, Cooper Door, Backyard Brewery, and Chen’s in Derry. There are certainly lifestyle events that happen at these places from time to time, but I don’t think there any secret pineapple or key signal for any random night. I can tell you that the lifestyle is much more prevalent than you likely know. I can almost certainly guarantee that you know people in the lifestyle that don’t advertise it. I also know for certain that there are lifestyle house parties in Bedford and areas around the seacoast, but it’s more of a “you have to know someone” to be invited kind of thing. There are also numerous groups around NH, Boston, and Providence that advertise and have events for people to attend without having to know someone already.

Natural gas prices are massively off peaks from 2022. We’re at 2020/2021 lows now. Bigger issue at play here than commodity prices, such as how expensive it is to transport natural gas here to New England. Yet, politicians signed off on allowing natural gas plants without infrastructure to affordably transport it because NIMBYers are killing this state. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/rngwhhdW.htm

Yep! In downtown Keene! Huge selection!

Fair enough. I consider myself from New England too, but I can say I do not relate to how people treat each other when I end up down south in the greater Boston to Worcester metro plex for any period of time. Add to that when I travel the number of times in my many years I have had people ask what is up with people from Mass.

Sitting at a bar in the Teton Village 'what's that accent?'
Me 'A mix of ME, NH, and beer.'
Patron 'wasn't quite a Mass accent, what is up with folks from there?' and then continues to tell a story about navigating raging assholes and their families.

I don't know, maybe it is the rude city meme, and then the rude city folks travel deep and add to that a Boston accent is fairly noticeable. This would include your greater NYC folk as well.

Back to point, if you aren't an asshole and don't bring an asshole vibe with you no one will care. I'm sure I've shared hiking, biking trails, skin routes, climbing adventures with many folks from Mass and never knew or cared because they, like I, were just doing our thing enjoying nature.

I have also had some positive interactions with folks who shared specifically they were from MA. Ironically they go out of their way to state they aren't like 'most folks from MA' a little like you did.

It cannot be over stated enough, it takes being an asshole first for anyone to even really care.

I can assure you we do not go out of our way to make it a MA folks aren't welcome. It really boils down to a 'ahh of course they are from MA' after the fact when acting aggressive and rude when something goes sideways.

ME and NH have home grown assholes as well and I don't like them either.

Definitely not true. I know of many happily married people in the lifestyle. It really depends on how solid your relationship was to begin with, and how much communication and trust you have with your partner. Some people see it as a bandaid to fix what is already broken—which just delays the inevitable. However, if you have a strong relationship to begin with, and can love multiple people, or just want to screw around with multiple people, it can be an amazing and wonderful thing.

Kisaki Japanese next to El Rincon has decent sushi. Not phenomenal, but it can hit the spot.

to be fair this was also several years ago and pre pandemic, and people can change. maybe i shouldn’t have just jumped to conclusions

Suet would be great!

I did mine myself and it was cheap

Hometown in Manchester is my favorite. They have more medium and dark roasts, but their Crossroads is a blended light roast. Not necessarily Ethiopian. Definitely worth checking out!

Rise Up coffee . Live from America

Kind of. But not really. The differentiation is important when making statements

I'm light roasting 5lbs of Ethiopian as we speak. Can't legally sell it yet, though, as I'm still awaiting my homestead license :)

PS Ethiopian light roast is a spectacular choice!

most solar is grid-tied, so it'd be easier to just crank up the delivery rate to get that money back ...

Love to see that source.

Seabrook nuke plant at 1250 MWhr is by FAR the largest producer in Northern New England. I know of 0 generators running off oil in Maine or NH. I don't think you understand the inefficiency of oil fired plants. I went to school for power engineering and have 15 years experience in the field.

And here's mass, our biggest ISONE supplying state
