Nah, they’ll use it as an excuse to cut funding for roads because we don’t need plows.

There used to be a hydroponic supply store on Second St in Manchester that did 20# tank swaps. That’s where I always went when I was brewing regularly. I haven’t fired up the kettle in a couple years unfortunately and I don’t know if the place is still open. 20 pounds lasted me a long time.

Despite the fact that we may have more to offer, we’re highly dependent on the roughly $1.5 billion that skiers, snowmobilers and ice fishermen bring into the state each year. That also doesn’t take into consideration the thousands of people employed by those industries, as well as those who rely on plowing, etc. as part of their income.

Other than you saving a few bucks on your heating bill and may not need to wear a jacket, having abnormally warm winters does far more harm than good to our state.

Aside from the fact that NH relies heavily on winter tourism and this is devastating to the state economy… it’s also not a great sign of our future climate when we get progressively milder winters.

This is not a good thing.

Yessir...

Not sure why this is being downvoted.

The time to do something about climate change has come and gone...

We had the technology to start reducing our impact on the atmosphere 50+ years ago, but instead we chose to continue funneling money into the pockets of oil and coal executives. There was money to be made in new, cleaner energy methods, but they refused to adapt.

Even if we made a 180 in our behavior tomorrow, the consequences of our past would last for generations and humans would still be struggling to survive.

It's grim, but that doesn't make it false.

The Pittsburgh pro hand tools have a lifetime no questions asked free-replacement warranty on them… just like Craftsman. Now that Craftsman is made in China, they probably come off the same assembly line.

When it comes to HF… I’m generally wary of anything with a motor. My rule is I’ll buy a Harbor Freight tool when I need it to do a specific job. If I use it enough to break it, I’ll buy a better one.

Congratulations to this sub for making NH look like a bigoted shithead’s paradise.

I used to camp there frequently when I was working occasionally in Peterborough. Anytime I’ve stayed there on weekdays it’s been fine. Every single Saturday night I’ve stayed there has been loud terrible music until 2 or 3 am.

If you’re looking for family friendly, I’d stay away from Greenfield on summer weekends. It basically turns into Mass college party grounds.

I mean, the human race is pretty much f*cked at this point.

The Earth will be fine, just give it a few thousand years after we're gone.

Leftist politicians certainly exist in the US, but they are most definitely not a part of mainstream American politics. That’s not my position, that is a fact.

“Although left-wing politics came to the United States in the 19th century, there are no major left-wing political parties in the United States.”

Don’t forget that Meal Team Six already attempted to take the Capitol. They’re not above random acts of violence against the public or even taking pot shots at critical infrastructure.

As much as a losing proposition declaring civil war may be, the potential for them to do significant damage certainly exists.

Seventh as far as supplying the US military, but fourth worldwide. BAE makes weapons systems for several countries. They are a British company after all.

It appears you are correct about VA. The Merrimack facility used to play a bigger role in their stateside operations than it does now.

How long have you had your head in the sand?

I’ve done it a couple of times, but I’m not sure about teaching someone how.

It’s pretty easy if you do end up finding someone to teach you. Hardest part is de-feathering if you don’t have a mechanical means of doing so.

BAE

The US division of the world’s fourth largest military contractor is based right here in NH.

The Dems will cry “but guns are bad!!!” While the Republicans will say “fund programs that help people other than myself? Why would I want to do that?”

That makes sense, therefore it will likely never happen.

Nah, let’s give them more military surplus equipment. How else are they going to bash the skulls of minorities, people exercising their first amendment right and other depraved individuals? /s

The funny thing I see is that places like Walmart have stopped selling “handgun and assault rifle” ammo. Yet, they still sell .308… which is a significantly more powerful round than .223/5.56 (most common AR round), because it’s for “hunting rifles.”

There are AR-platform rifles that shoot .308, just as there are semiautomatic hunting rifles. All they’re doing is trying to place a label on something due to how it is perceived to those unfamiliar with firearms. It’s really just splitting hairs, and broad definitions can lead to slippery slopes.

I don’t disagree.

Remember that there’s also a healthy distrust of law enforcement on both sides. The left wing views police as a racist institution installed to protect and serve the the interests of capitalists. Right wingers tend to be highly supportive of local police, but absolutely detest federal law enforcement.

I can’t say I disagree either. As long as the blue line brotherhood continues to cover up the misconduct of their fellow officers, none of them can really be considered “good cops.” Good cops don’t stay employed.
