As with most cool roadway things, the Netherlands https://interestingengineering.com/culture/the-netherlands-unique-water-bridge

The only person here who sees the real benefit here

OK, so this solves what problem? Where is there a bridge too low for sailboats? Chances are this would be wayyyy too costly for any waterway that accommodates barges or cruise ships.

I don’t mind shoveling a few times to even out the load. Shoveling a foot of heavy snow is how I mess up my back until the 4th of July

It's a recipe from a cookbook dude

I don't think it made it a week lol

Yep, we always did this growing up. I didn’t carry it forward though. I think Americanized Chinese food is highly overrated and would rather make something special at home. But hey, one fewer body for you to contend with!

They were very publicly caught overcharging customers a few years ago. This is not news. https://www.mainepublic.org/business-and-economy/2020-01-31/regulators-impose-10m-penalty-new-standards-on-cmp-for-poor-customer-service?_amp=true

CMP is shit for how they treat customers on the corporate side, but their line workers are fantastic.

Yep, 100% agreed. I even drop the extra $10 for business class on Amtrak. Plus, Amtrak goes to north station and the bus doesn’t, so it’s really dependent on where your final destination in Boston is. Airport is a no brainer for the bus.

Yeah, this is the fundamental issue. Transit can compete with driving in congested cities, but in those cases we're usually talking about rail. For buses to be competitive with driving, they need dedicated bus lanes and priority at traffic lights.

It’s faster using the concord coach bus. Also cheaper and more frequent

Chicken and egg problem. Existing bus service is paltry, so no one rides it, and service isn’t expanded because no one rides it.

Transit needs to be easier than driving because driving will always be more convenient. Making transit easier means making it run more frequently and making it run faster (dedicated bus lanes or dedicated rail).

All transit is “subsidized”. Driving a car is also heavily subsidized, just in different ways.

Not sure how true this is but it is true that china has pretty much stopped buying a lot of plastics, making it way more expensive, if not impossible, to recycle compared to incinerate/landfill.

No, what I said was correct. You can't ban political signs on public property without also banning all other types of temporary signs.

Billboards are permanent. Temporary signs have size and time limitations

I asked the state about this. Lawn signs on private property erected by the owner are protected first amendment speech, and political signs on public property can't be banned without banning all temporary signage on public property. This includes signs for blueberry stands and such. You can't have stricter rules for political signs.

Sometime this (meteorological) winter

Wicked Cornhole in NH makes gorgeous custom boards

You may be right. It'll be legal in Maine soon*

*May be years if it takes as long as adult use weed

Live free or die but the following things are not allowed:

• weed

• gambling

• Prostitution

Including one of our gubernatorial candidates

They're too obsessed with a rock formation that barely looked like anything, and which collapsed despite massive investment to preserve. No one like that is fun to be around and this is a whole state's worth of people

you chose to move to Florida bub, what did you expect
