Bill Stenger can kiss the darkest, most foul part of my ass. He should be in jail for the rest of his life, and should have to forfeit all his own wealth and property as reparations for the crimes he and Quiros both committed.

People say 4-day work week, and lots of people assume there will be 3-day weekends every week. This just will not be the case. Scheduling has to account for staff overlap and coverage on days when others are not working. This would be doubly true for businesses and jobs that require staffing 7 days/week, especially in the service industry.

And what does a 4-day work week really entail? Are we talking about working 20% fewer hours/week for the same pay? For less pay? Are we talking about working 4 days/week at 10 hours/day for the same pay? I'm sure there are multiple answers, depending on the job.

I'd hire them a bartender for an afternoon and have an in-home tasting of Vermont craft beers and/or distilled liquors.

My wife and I caught norovirus, likely on the trip home from a vacation that we took several years ago. Within 24 hours of getting home, we both had the most horrible stomach upset and diarrhea. We both had to stay home from work for a few extra days once we got home. I must have been in the toilet no less than 30 times in a single day. We drank plenty of water and fluids, and ate a small amount of easy to digest food, like bananas, rice, and ramen noodles. After 3-4 days we felt back to normal. Tired, literally wrung out, but normal.

I'm a film shooter myself and I'm always glad to see others' work. Thanks for the downvote, regardless.

Seeing this image taken on film makes me happy 😁

Yeah, some people are just prickly or simply have to learn the hard way. Should be no skin off OP's nose.

OK, so your elderly neighbor friend is stubborn, not necessarily willing to accept help, and is also a cheap-ass. Best bet for them is just a big bag of ice melt. Hell, buy them two bags and feel better. You could even shovel and de-ice the steps for them every now and then. Otherwise, as the saying goes, You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.

WTH does it say about the kidnappers that they left the keys in the truck such that their victim was (luckily and thankfully) able to drive away after breaking free of her restraints? Sure as shit sounds like they're pretty far from being master criminals. Do drugs make you stupid, or does that come first?

What camera/lens setup did you use to photograph this bird? Just curious.

Whatever the outcome of this short-term issue, the smart option is to just have the 18-year old apply for a US Passport going forward. Will be good for 10 years.

Honestly, I think anyone choosing to live in a very rural area, miles from the nearest paved road should expect to have very much less frequent mail delivery. I'm sure there are plenty of benefits to living out in the "boonies", but there are also costs. And I think getting mail only once/week is definitely one of them.

USPS has been a hot mess over the past year. Actually seems worse now than during the height of the COVID pandemic. They are so short staffed that even a single person taking a single sick, or personal, day puts them hundreds of parcels and packages behind.

My wife is a 4th generation Vermonter. Her family came from French-speaking Quebec around the turn of the 20th Century. I moved here 20 years ago when we got married, and we've since created the 5th generation of Vermonters in the family.

Hey, guess what? I just noticed that, in his own echo chamber r/PoliticsVermont sub, Rama has just implemented approved comments. You must be an approved commenter in order to comment on any post in that sub. All this was done since last week, when Rama was bitching about being somehow "banned" from r/Vermont, and someone called him out in his own sub. Guess Rama doesn't like being challenged.

I scrolled, and scrolled, and scrolled to the bottom, in the hope of finding a TL;DR. I left broken hearted.

Can't be in the U.S. because U.S. truckers don't generally drive cab-overs.

To appear relevant.

They exist in VT too.

I think one option is to buy a propane-fired insert for your existing boiler.

Nope. Just trolling OP. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for another Link post OP!

Why would run flats limit winter tire options?
