They spent so long pretending Climate change wasn't real they started believe their own bullshit.

I fucking dread the highway every day now, you do not know what level of bullshit you're going to run into.
The other day I watched someone try to go between two cars by the Northbound Winooski exit because the guy was taking forever to pass. Dumbest shit I've seen in a while, thankfully nothing came from it. I get that it's annoying as fuck when people take absolutely forever to pass but it never justifies your dumb, dangerous, and selfish bullshit.

This shit is weird to me. Like, yeah, the wind will be heavy but these aren't some crazy new cold numbers. That shit used to be normal before we fucked up the climate.

Reply to comment by East-Letter3972 in Fine people of VT please settle a household debate for me: should an opened bottle of maple syrup be stored in the refrigerator or cupboard? by Kashmir79
It all depends on how fast you use it. It's fine if left out but the taste will change after long enough because mold does eventually grow in it. That being said the mold that does grow in it is nontoxic, it just makes it taste funky. So it's usually better to just refrigerate it.

Semis are rarely the problem for me, it's douche nozzles in their raised truck with the brightest fucking lights they can find. Bonus points if they added a light bar up front.

Reply to High beaming by ResponsibleExcuse727
I've wanted to make this exact post so many times. Low beams today are brighter than high beams used to ever be a while ago and still so much high beaming for no reason.
So many people install mini suns(Bright white LED) in their cars and don't realize that the bright white ones need to be aimed down further than your normal yellow lights. Mix that with people who can't see at night and refuse to concede they shouldn't be driving and just keep their high beams on all the time.
The ones on the highway piss me off a lot too, just because we're a little further to the side doesn't make it okay to just high beam everyone, including people you're behind.

And it's been 50 degrees for 2 weeks straight, not even getting below freezing at night. That's just an irredeemable amount of stupid.

I'm right there with you, I miss my snow so much. I think our only option is to find someplace that still gets snow. I wish I was able to move someplace that had more. This place used to have the perfect climate until we fucked it up.

It depends on the tree species but generally around 150-250 years or older.
>Hardwood forests of the eastern United States can develop old-growth characteristics in 150–500 years. In British Columbia, Canada, old growth is defined as 120 to 140 years of age in the interior of the province where fire is a frequent and natural occurrence. In British Columbia's coastal rainforests, old growth is defined as trees more than 250 years, with some trees reaching more than 1,000 years of age.[9] In Australia, eucalypt trees rarely exceed 350 years of age due to frequent fire disturbance.[10]

We also have very, very little old growth, it was all cut down a long time ago. While we're very heavily forested now, close to 80% of the forests in Vermont were clear cut and raised in the 1800s for logging and farmland.

I was gonna say, what Old Growth? VT was straight clear cut in it's almost entirety in the 1800-1900s. The only places that weren't were the places that they couldn't get the equipment in.

So rereading this it even says
>other appropriate means so that at all times the dog can be prevented from causing any damage, disturbance or annoyance."
Which has its own sub section. So I was right, I even asked the town again. By voice control is absolutely fine.
Had a different conversation that made me think of this.

Depends on the town as well, like Milton you don't need a leash, provided you have your dog under control.
For the people in the back, that means your dog is close to you and has a near perfect recall. Not is just friendly and will eventually will back..
>other appropriate means so that at all times the dog can be prevented from causing any damage, disturbance or annoyance."
Voice control is absolutely legal.

No one liking your joke does not equate to people not getting it. We got it, it was bad.
