Depends on the viewpoint:

Moderating the worst inclinations of the legislature - good.

Not getting wrapped up in vacuous "war on woke" nonsense - reassuring.

Not really having any specific aspirations or aims to improve the state - disappointing.

Switching his stance on things to appease different groups - bad.

While I'm skeptical of an imminent crash, US consumer debt it ratcheting up very quickly, so some of the conditions are there if folks' mortgages are up for renewal and new rates +general inflation pressures make some houses suddenly unaffordable.

Still, doesn't seem like that would be a huge swath of NH housing stock.

Appalachian Mountain Club has a 20s and 30s group that could be fun if you like outdoor activities.

I agree, though. Been here 3 years and never found it so hard to make friendships with any depth.

Sorry for your friend's loss.

I'm curious as to how getting a lawyer for a DUI works, though.

If you fail the blood-alcohol test, surely it's just cut-and-dry, take the penalty?

Seems bad, people talking about lawyers being "connected" or "knowing" the officers etc to get folks off?

I'm biased as someone who's lost friends to drunk drivers, but it is scary how normal getting off a DUI seems from the replies here?

He's not the worst, not by a long shot, but he's definitely been inconsistent with his opinions/policy leanings to match different audiences. He has also been very evasive in refusing take a view on big national policy issues that attract controversy, that's politics, but there are figures of any or no party who are more principled in that respect.

I'm sure he'd make for a much better executive branch than most other contemporary GOP figures, but he doesn't really have any consistent platform on national issues beyond being relatively moderate.

Yeah I had my first bout recently after all my jabs and covalent 2nd booster.

Feel like crap 3 weeks after - like someone's robbed part of my brain and half a lung.

Reading through some of the mounting physiological research on long-term effects scares the crap out of me!
