Bottom line you need more apartments. Suck it up and build apartments in downtown areas. No one likes their downtown atmosphere "ruined" but the state is hurting and it's really the only fix.

Surely wherever this phrase originated wasn't very important /s

I'm sure the party that actively hates poor people and social programs would never back such a work of literature that would contain such a phrase

Fuck I've been storing mine in my pool this whole time

It's decent. Only ever had their pizza a few times. A bit overpriced maybe.

Liability is the real issue. Do I care if the police have an armoured car and swat gear? Not really.

But whether they use that or a standard issue handgun...if they wrongfully kill a baby I want someone in jail.

I'll be the first one to step on questionable ice. But you gotta be prepared and test it out. Just walking out there and making assumptions is how people die.

This is for perfectly clear, black ice. It's rare to get that quality of ice other than early in the season. But the danger there is unless you know how a body of water froze you simply don't know what you're walking on unless you spud your way out with a chisel. The ice could be a foot thick when you walk on, a hundred feet away it could be a quarter inch because there's a natural spring in the lake, or an inlet/outlet...or a familly of swans decided to winter there and keep a spot open the last 3 weeks.

Not trying to scare anyone but it's not as simple as "didn't crack when I walked on, should be good"

They make money because more often than not they're right. I'll take 40 percent odds over 0.00000001 percent odds but what do I know about math. You can't compare the two. Sure any kind of betting has risks.

Exactly. But at least you had the opportunity to make money and cash out. Versus taking 20 dollars a week for your whole life and throwing it straight in the trash.

At least sports betting you have a chance to win. Lottery tickets are literally just poor and middle class people setting their money on fire.

Am I the only one disappointed this post was not about the band Mastodon visiting VT on an upcoming tour?

Unfortunately I find a lot of times that the more beautiful and enjoyable the weather is for the fisherman...the worse the fishing. Not always true but I'll take overcast and some wind anyday over slick calm and ckear skies as far as catching fish goes.

The word you're looking for is Fück-ed

Yea the whole "irradication" mentality needs to stop.

Best I can do is 60 in the left alongside a logging truck
