Too inconvenient! I need to be where I needed to be 5 minutes ago!!!

People don’t even have the patience to stop at red lights to turn red or slow down for people at cross walks.

Only way to convince people to is if you mention it tastes like McDonald’s fries without having to wait in the drive through.

I use sweetmarias. I used their customer site for testing blends, then their commercial site to buy in bulk. They even have some entry level roasting stuff for sale, the only downfall with the popcorn roaster is if you roast too much in 1 day the plastic barrier melts a bit.

Mostly easy to roast, it gets difficult if you’re looking for an extremely light roast. I don’t have HVAC so I usually set up a couple of fans to blow the smoke out the window. The sweet spot for me is to stop when the beans are finishing their “first crack” and start to enter the “second crack”. There’s tons of YouTube/material on roasting with ovens or cheaper roasting guides.

You can also buy green beans around $300 for 50 lbs.

I’ll usually buy it once a year and then use my oven, popcorn roaster, or air roaster to roast about 1-3 pounds at a time.

It’s a nice comparison considering the average Dunkiner spends $300 a month

I make $500,000 a year creating misinformation on Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram.

Most recently telling people snow is made out of plastic because snow doesn’t catch on fire when lighting it with a lighter. As long as the middle class and lower class bicker to each about worthless things, life is good.

Especially for fitness, it’s a quick ride to Dedham / Holden and those are best miles someone can get on a road bike on this side of the Mississippi.

An Ex-cycling pro George Hincapie now even hosts a ride every year that starts in Bangor.

As long as you avoid Stillwater, Essex, Pushaw, and Forest Ave it’s gravy

Yeah but dire news generates clicks. Whether if it’s factual or sensational

Kind of. Great for visitors, terrible for residents. The amphitheater ruined most of our water front park, and ruined the view of the river from Main Street.

Between that and supporting the carcass of Bass Park, using tax payer property to build these private entities are getting out hand

Over building “affordable housing” without filling out the spectrum of cost is what turns cities like Bangor into Drug Dens.

Historically Bangor has only developed public/private low income and no income expansions, which is why it brought such a strong collapse in the 80s/90s. The city then tried to curb all growth and expansion in the 90s by building new zoning laws, further backfiring the attraction of high income talent (why Hampden/Hermon blew up in popularity).

Most units outside of the 95 corridor are either trailer parks, “affordable” apartments (that are now drug dens), or private low jncome housing like Penquis.

To be honest they need more of a focus on deluxe and luxury apartments, townhomes, and condos. People that tend to live in deluxe and luxury are much more likely to support local food, local stores, and farmers markets. Most of Bangor’s housing supply already is affordable housing, public housing, and private/public low income housing.

Most of Bangor’s existence post-lumber was creating affordable housing, creating assisted living, creating section 8, supporting the homeless and the very low income. Most of the buildings outside of the 95 corridor is dedicated to those concepts (penquis is huge, a lot of trailer parks, a lot of public housing). If the city keeps building support for section 8 housing, and at-risk individuals, the city will only reflect those people and will lose any attraction to visit or grow.

More luxury and higher end builds need to be done in the city, because it will keep the small businesses floating. The current population shops at Walmart, Applebees, etc, and does not support local businesses to focus on surviving.

Biden DID squash Union negotiations. Both people are allowed to be fuck ups. Not fixing the problem is just as bad as creating one.

Woah woah woah woah woah!!!

Don’t worry about this, didn’t you hear that there are ‘Chinese’ weather balloons????

The air is fine, you should be clicking articles about the balloons not this pesky tiny risk to rail safety and EPA regulations

Linda Bean has no decision making or association for LL Bean today other than filling a worthless seat (non-executive director) on their huge board of directors; she’s just a trust fund holder that fails starting up other businesses from family wealth. Think about George’s position in Seinfeld for her late wife’s trust committee; she has the same role.

The association was propaganda created by Patagonia when she privately donated to the Republican Party, and was a shit attempt at grabbing what little market share LL Bean has left.

Compared to LL Bean’s competitors, they produce way more goods in the USA. Hate the product, hate the brand, sure. But associating Linda Bean as a decision maker for LL Bean is misinformation.

If those people wanted to protect that much space, they needed to create an HoA or buy enough land to protect their space. You see investors buying and building entire cities out west, to protect that kind of life style.

To preserve you much be wealthy, it’s no one’s fault that these people aren’t rich enough to buy enough land to protect it. Freedom works both ways, NIMBYism is just blocking society from progressing.

One-way only, angled one-way parking. Lanes wide enough just to fit a normal car.

Large amount of pedestrian crossing speed bumps so pedestrians can be crossing at a higher height since humans are almost not visible anymore to pickup trucks.

Have inflow from the street to outflow, so it stops people from cruising around for the best spot.

“Breathe in the boiler’s exhaust for heat before it freezes, you tax evading Lee-tard”

-Lincoln PD, probably

I know if the Lincoln PD found someone homeless downtown they would spend the 2 hours of Lincoln taxpayer money to drop them off on Kenduskeag Ave in Bangor.

I have a water bottle in a detached garage, will the poor people steal it if it freezes so they can make banana smoothies?

Asking for one of my 463 tenants

Geeze imagine if Bangor and Portland said “Sorry you can’t be homeless, unless you were a resident before you went homeless.”

Why gatekeep warming shelters?

Times are changing!

Time to close down Bass Park and retrofit it into a park that everyone can use. It’s in terrible shape and even the Fair is a underutilized attraction that costs a lot of taxpayer space and money.

Carrier Park in Asheville was a cool way to turn an old race track into a Velodrome, running track, playground, Basketball court, hockey rink, walking path, off-road loop, bocci court, and more. We should look at best practices to do the same.

Then what happened to Boise LOL

How do armchair urban planners end up on these kind of threads?

Similar news in the paper that Bangor needs $5M invested a year for the next 10 years to rock geezer cradles. I think Northern Lights, housing groups, APRA funds can easily make investments, but the real problem are the NIMBYs that will cry over 300 dwellings a year.

Bangor has plenty of space in its core to take out worthless parking lots, empty lots, unused dollar stores, and churches, but it’ll be hard to get that zoning allowed.

The only structures really being built are those dumbass 2-family garage attached shitshacks that sit on 3 acres of land due to lack of construction talent and zoning laws.

Been buying my eggs for decades from a neighbor, has always been $3 and still is $3 a dozen.

A year ago I could have gotten Hannafart’s for $1.79, 10 years ago I could have gotten Hannafart’s for $0.78, but I chose to buy local.

If you didn’t support local food when they needed customers most (when Walmart and Amazon were growing market share) then don’t expect to find a local deal now. Now to guzzle the lowest price for that long there are no competitors, so enjoy Shitland’s Best “eggs”

The only really places impacted by bird flu are Egg Mills where you shouldn’t be buying eggs anyway. Most local, small and medium sized farm-groups were not impacted nearly as much.
