Having control is not the same as needing to learn how to do it to begin with.

Also you can't "not blink" your body wont let you. Eventually you will blink. Just like breathing. You can try to hold your breath but eventually your body makes you breathe.

We aren't taught how to blink either, or how to make our heart beat, or digest food.

All happen based on the body and not thoughts.

Exactly.

The OP is more correct than they want to be.

If you define it only as the Breaking of a fast (of some predefined timeframe) ANY Meal could be considered breakfast.

Are you aware those easements don't cover the trees that aren't on the easement?

They aren't airspace easements.

If the tree is on the property owners' land and not on the easement, they need to get approval.

Don't get me wrong a lot of companies shirked maintenance. But they haven't been doing that for about a decade now. Every minute power is down and they have crews out working at double OT overnight for days straight.... they are losing MASSIVE amounts of money.

The math doesn't work out unless you are referring to super rural areas with only a few customers on a single line that covers miles and miles. But anywhere that has any density at all.... it doesn't make sense to not maintain it.

The power company isn't the internet company that charges you whether the service works or not. The power companies have a vested interest in keeping you connected and drawing power constantly.

And why wouldn't they make it available in Maine, NH, VT?

Because of the feasibility. The profit just wasn't there.

They don't have the right to remove trees or limbs from your property.

Just like you don't have the right to remove your neighbor's tree because it hangs near your property or "might" fall on your house.

They must get permission or they can get sued by landowners.

What do you want to power company to do?

Are you suggesting they have the ability to power EVERY house from multiple directions?

The cost to do that in rural areas is prohibitive.

If you have an issue with outages, get solar, get wind, get a propane or natural gas powered generator. Chances are it's cheaper than the grid power anyway. Heck, a decent gas generator might be close to reasonable with the electric prices right now.

Why do you think Verizon ditched NH in the middle of the Fiber Upgrade?

Underground wasn't feasible and above ground has issues with the trees.

Its called the granite state for a reason.

Plus buried lines means Jim Bob deciding to put in a fence, pond, or just dig for the hell of it, results in power outages and possible dead people.

Buried lines ARE NOT the answer for a state as rural as NH.

​

The answer is home owners allowing the utility to trim and remove trees that will cause issues with the lines. Most outages are caused by preventable tree limb damage. If the utility was allowed to go after home owners that declined to have the trimming done, it would get better fast.

I have both.

Because I am lucky enough to afford both and use the both for different things.

PS5 for PSVR2, GranTurismo, Last of Us, Uncharted, Spiderman, etc.

Xbox for Halo, Forza, Flight Sim and Game Pass.

​

It comes down to what you feel you will play more.

Storage can also be an issue. Both consoles are massive beasts but the Xbox is easier to put somewhere due to the dense brick shape.

Thats the same thing.

Not being enough to live on covers all of it. Food, Housing, Transport, etc etc

The problem with a lot of these ideas is they take money.

NH has none.

Part of that is due to the pay not being high enough for people to live on.

As long as walking away is an option.... they don't justify a shooting.

Brass knuckles would matter.

However, they were outside, walking away is an option for self defense/preservation.

Also brass knuckles do not result in life being threatened.

Nope, not once have I thought this.

They are considered a vehicle and have the same right of way on the road. In fact I actively block other cars from tailgating and trying to dangerously pass cyclists that are in front of me.

Your post says more about you than it does about society.

How does the ability to call someone negate the need for tools food clothing? or the ability to keep said phone working?

If the things you put in your backpack are redundant to that level you are doing it wrong.

Honestly that makes perfect sense.

Instead of turning off the service (back when the only way to do that was to physically disconnect at the pole) flip them to something they don't want.

Although there are a few people out there that might like it. lol.

I find it interesting that they would first make it unpleasant to drive.

Cut cruise control, gps, infotainment. Then cut AC, etc. Then play a constant noise. Then lock you out and move to a spot easiest for a tow truck to take it.

You can use a passport to fly.

And the paper ID works in combination with something else when flying.

Passport doesn't have an address etc and the police department can't use them as easily.

This is the pawn shop rules part of Guitar Center. They should accept the paper one though. I would put up a fuss as refusing a legal govt issued ID can give them trouble with their license to buy stuff as a business.

why not let the taxpayers cover your defense?

Thats how you keep money, by not spending it. On anything.

What could Guitar Center need an ID for?

Also I am fairly certain they are required to accept it as the NH DMV Issued ID. If they won't then they can't accept the "real" one either.

For some people I know they got it in 2 weeks, others 1 week, and others it took months.

It depends on the volume of work and where it is getting mailed as some post offices are slower than others.

​

Technically the paper one is supposed to count as the license for anything you would need the license for.
