Reply to It will cost around $80-90 Billion to put power lines underground. will it be worth it? by Dipsetallover90
Back in 2020, the remnants of a hurricane hit my hometown and toppled old pine trees all over the place. My sister and I tried to drive home from my parents house, but we kept having to take detours because of downed power lines. A drive that should have taken 10 minutes turned into a half-hour maze. I don't want that kind of thing to happen again. Better to bury all the lines.

Now keep in mind that this is all from 20 years ago, so I may not be remembering accurately, but -- from what I recall,Lieberman was the Joe Manchin of his era. The kind of senator who cultivates an image of being independent from party politics, but winds up mostly getting in the way of things the Democrats want to do. Which definitely didn't go over well in Connecticut.
I don't know if I like Chris Murphy. I don't hear much about him. He seems to be a decent fellow. But even a neutral opinion of Senator Murphy is higher than what people here thought of Joe Lieberman.

Reply to I’m a minor in connecticut, what am i allowed to carry for self defense legally? by connoqr
A stick, but why are you expecting to be in a fight and do you actually want to be in one? Whatever else you want to carry, learn how to run far and fast, and that will defend you better than weapons.

"We're going to name a street after you!"
"Well that's mighty thoughtful."
"It's Ann Street."
"Wait, but...there's literally nothing there."
"Yeah, we don't actually like you all that much."

If I-84 hadn't been built through Hartford, the civilization you were looking for would be IN Hartford.

Reply to How do you think the 5¢ nip tax is going? Have you seen less of these little bottles all over the place? by MongooseProXC
The worst part is they're all plastic instead of glass so there's no point picking them up to use them as potion bottles. You can't put a potion in a plastic bottle. It's just not done.
