There are a lot of reasons to do that in an intersection. For this one, I'd imagine it's because the traffic from 196 on the left is coming down a hill, and if you turn right out of Topsham Fair Mall Road, you're immediately heading uphill and accelerating slowly, so it could cause traffic issues or accidents.

It was a joke about people high on marijuana throwing axes while under the influence of the cannabis cigarettes. The joke is that the guy owns a place to get people high, a place to throw dangerous sharp axes, and also owns a place that sells things to the stoned people who lost fingers or cut off a limb while axe throwing under the influence of cannabijuana.
Imagine that your favorite corn chip manufacturer also owned the number one diarrhea medication.

Why does this scream "Sanford" to me?

That's what I came here looking for. I made an ESP32/BME680 climate sensor a few months ago and haven't gotten around to calibrating/deploying it, was hoping I could pivot and turn it into an outdoor citizen science project

I was thinking of the ones with the wireless sensor you place outside for indoor/outdoor readings, and I guess they cost more like $20-25, so not exactly cheap, but useful nonetheless.

Small electric space heater and a cheap wireless thermometer so you can keep an eye on it from upstairs?

It's a joke about the infamous Westbrook Ice Disk, and now that there is a new rotating disk making headlines, Westbrook needs to up the ante and make the whole city spin.

Of all the cool things to take pics of, OP picked the worst possible photo to try to make a Shire comparison. This could be any fucking pond or lake in Maine. Don't even get me started on the post-processing, my eyes hurt too badly to keep typing.

The midcoast town I grew up in, that had never had a chain business of any kind, got a Dollar General a few years ago. Felt like another nail in the coffin of my childhood.
