As someone that works from home in IT, I would love to have 1Gbps up. I have spectrum right now on 500Mbps/20 and it sucks when I have to upload large packages. I end up remoting into machines on site to spin up WMs, do all my packages and testing.
However, they aren’t in my area…yet.

Reply to comment by hjboots in Maine Maple Failure. by JqD2_
There is a local sugar shack in my town that does a big maple weekend, then honor system the rest of the year. They leave a crate of their syrup on the porch and a jar. I have tried others in my town and his is by far the best.
He charges $18/qt, but whenever I go get some, I just leave a $20.

The quotes just mean the potatoes were questionable when they made that bag.
But yes these chips are so good. I usually grab a bag of salt and vinegar ones when I stop at renys.

I do enjoy rearranging the wood letters they have on the end caps. Usually spelling something like birth control, anal, or other random phrases. I found if you mix them into other letters around it and make it look squared off, people don’t notice it right away.

I live in Casco and have a family here. They haven’t started school yet, but from my chats with the staff at songo locks elementary school, they said it was great. I’ve heard things about the high school, but we had those same issues when I went to school in Skowhegan. I guess it just depends on the crowd at the time.

Same, which makes it just the right kind of dive bar. It’s there or the back of the heights Chevy parking by the Kennebec Valley Inn. That seemed to be a hot spot for most people in my class.

It’s actually quite common for most USM undergraduates to go do their 2 years of gen eds at SMCC and the transfer over. It is considerably cheaper. USM actually has a “don’t reject” policy that says, if you meet the criteria for college, you will not be turned down. This means as long as you took the SATs, have a high school diploma or GED, and apply, you are pretty much guaranteed acceptance.
But like the others said, take the gen eds at SMCC first, then transfer over. Most gen eds will transfer over, some are even taught by the same instructor, and as a recent grad you get the free tuition to Main community colleges, resulting in about $750 savings per class.
If you do this for EMCC, there are the same opportunities available. Plus, depending on the program, you would earn enough credits for an associate’s degree from the community college, then transfer into a 4 year program and take advantage of the Maine educational opportunity tax credit on the two year degree while you earn your 4 year.

Yeah the wood ones looked decent. They didn’t look like they were finished/sealed. So I might wax them a bit with a finishing wax or something, just to waterproof them. This was the windham Walmart on Friday that I saw them.

I was just at the windham one and both the wooden and the orange plastic traps were on marked down to $5/each. Renys has the same traps at the same price if you want a local store too.
The biggest expense will be an auger. Even used, those go for about $50-$75.

This is what I found too. I bought my house in 2016 and that first year I I lost power every time the wind blew. I bought a generator and barely lose power long enough to fire it up. It’s totally in predictable.

I second this, I have 2-3 of them from when my furnace was acting up one winter. I put one in the bedrooms and one in the living room. They work amazing but take a couple of hours to really heat the room.
Now I have a pellet stove and only drag them out in emergency cases.

Reply to UMO vs. UMF computer science by dinsmore207
I would highly recommend UM over UMF any day. Consider your future career path and look for positions posted now. Are they requiring a BA or a BS degree. UMF cut most of the bachelor of science degrees when the University of Maine System began pushing for single accreditation. They only issue bachelor arts degrees now. UM has a strong program in Computer Information Systems (they merged with the spatial engineering department a few years back). They teach C++, html, Java, databases, and more. Depending on the career path you wish to pursue, you will have more in your portfolio coming from UM.
That being said, nothing stops you from applying to one campus and getting permission to take courses from another campus within the system. I do this with online classes at UMA that do not have an online counterpart at USM. I went to school at UM years ago and now attend USM.
