I’d be worried about some people spreading it so they could sell more. Like when rat control used to pay per rat, so people were making rat hotels left and right to scam in on the cash

How DeJoy isn’t behind bars for treason and sabotage baffles me. Sure would be nice to have all those dozens of high tech sorting machines that we paid billions for… but yeah they’re much more useful as scrap…

The quarries near barre, rock of ages, etc, there’s hiking paths that go all along the top of them, incredible views, some still active. Barre Town Forest. You wanna hike to the southwest of the parking area toward the quarry-lakes on the map.

There is literally no debate to be had. Ranked choice is the only viable option to escape the two-party vote manipulation game.

Reply to Starting to think moving here was a mistake by [deleted]
I bought a home for 150k. It’s a mobile, with land. I don’t wish to generalize, but it’s my suspicion that most people would find something affordable if they lowered their standards a bit. My home isn’t shiny but it’s liveable. Not in the area I desired most, but damn near. Widen your net. Put in some sweat equity. Vermont is always gonna be Vermont. People everywhere have always been people. Stories shape our lives, so take a more authorial approach and don’t believe everything you read.

Saw enormous feline prints in the snow in Calais two years ago. Maybe I was mistaken but others have made similar claims…

That’s how I got my squatter to fuck off. 1,500$ (and the months of sublet rent I never collected). I wonder how that psychopath is doing these days…

So how would you like we handle it, then? Wait around doing nothing until there’s a goddamned civil war? These people aren’t your enemy, they’re your countrymen. Fathers, brothers, FAMILY. Stop painting them like they’re all regularly in the streets committing acts of terror. 99% of them are benign and merely victims of an infectious cult like ideological phenomenon. We’ve been, as a species, resorting to violence to solve ideological disputes for… forever! Fuck me for celebrating trying something NEW

This meme is tired. Get on the new biz, spiders are friends.

Sounds like an egg of Eastern Parsons spiders just hatched. They will thin themselves out rather quickly, and then focus their attention on other insects in your house. They can bite, but aren’t a danger. And I’ve never been bitten despite handling them frequently. They are super quick. But without a photo, it’s only a guess.

Little too much paranoia and projection. Go outside and actually talk to “those people”.

Reply to Any insight for a first time visitor? by aworldsaway
Central Vermont is pretty great IMO, and you’re close to a lot of easy-intermediate hiking. Groton state forest has some of my favorites, Spruce mountain, kettle pond, peacham bog, There’s a mountain biking park near Barre that’s actually great for easy hiking, it’s in a series of old (and active) quarries. Lovely little trails abound around Calais and East Montpelier that are never busy. Lots of maple creemee options. Hit up Red Hen bakery. Wayside diner. Mad Taco. Have fun
