I’m in New Haven. Always happy to switch to a reliable supplier if I can find one. The definition of “seasoned” seems to be a bit shaky when I was looking, so I go with someone I trust than the lowest bidder.

I went the catalytic wood stove route a few years ago. It could save some money if you have a good source of seasoned wood (e.g. you own a large wooded property and don’t mind felling trees and splitting wood). But at $400/cord it’s a lot of work for what’s probably very little in savings. That being said, I love having a roaring fire in the evenings and it provides a nice warm room for my wife.

That’s definitely true. Not much you can do in that case. Sounds like your friend got punished for being the only person actually paying attention and trying to be safe. I’m really sorry that happened.

Yeah, this area is quite safe.

Agreed so much. The infrastructure needs to discourage dangerous driving.

So it’s ok to run them over because they didn’t have the right of way?

Very nice. New Haven is a neighborhood with lots of people, including children who do not always have great situational awareness. It has a 25mph speed limit and traffic lights. There would be fewer accidents if drivers stopped treating it like their personal raceway.

Impressive victim blaming here. You don’t know a single detail about what happened and you’re blaming the pedestrian who basically does have the right of way in nearly all circumstances. People run red lights and drive way too fast routinely in New Haven, endangering pretty much everyone. But sure, blame the girl who might have serious injuries.

Nicholas is awesome

Yep. 30% retroactive for anything installed in 2021.

It’s a gym. You can get a decent climbing workout. Unfortunately, the bouldering space isn’t set up well. It’s short and opposite walls are close together (e.g. you’ll be in someone’s way who is on the wall behind you while scoping out problems). If you’re used to a more modern gym, you’ll likely be disappointed. That being said, people are super friendly and it’s the only gym I use because it’s so convenient.
