If they advertise that they host weddings, it's going to be unnecessarily expensive. These places know that weddings = big dollars. The wedding business is huge lately because everyone wants something unique, special and over the top. Searles advertises Fairytale Weddings, for fuck sake. Even less expensive places tack on a ton extra for a wedding compared to a similar sized event.

Best advice I've seen would be to find someplace that doesn't normally do weddings and figure out how to get it done there. Or, find someplace that's brand new to doing weddings and looking to grow a business. Downside is, you have to live with compromises, you aren't likely to have an on-site event planner (unless you contract separately) and it'll be a lot more work to coordinate and arrange everything.

Could someone with a subscription tell me what kind of records we're talking about?

As opposed to putting panels where there isn't already forest. ... didn't think it was that much of a mystery. Top of buildings, over larger parking areas, as an upright array overlooking an already cleared area.

I'd like to see the math on those 88k acres. If it's that simple, then the solution to climate change must be to cut down all the forests and install solar panels, right? By the math you'd see a 366x reduction in carbon. But, you wouldn't because it doesn't work that way.

Plus sequestration is is a term that's being misinterpreted and misapplied with reckless abandon these days. If a forest grows and then you cut and harvest the timber, that carbon is still sequestered in the wood. Then when the forest regrows, guess what? More carbon is sequestered in the wood. More importantly, sequestration is one of the least important things a forest can do for overall environmental health.

There are much better places to put panels. Sure, it reduces CO2 emissions equal to whatever, but that's still forest acres that are gone when they didn't have to be.

It's also destroying wildlife habitat that could remain if we were more strategic with solar placement.

I would whole heartedly disagree with you. Perform an air intrusion test or just use a thermal camera and you'll see why windows from the 1940s are not good compared to modern windows. It's not just the glass itself, it's also how the window frames were installed (i.e. without insulation around them). Storm panes don't do anything to help that. And the idea that anyone would need to replace modern windows "every 15 years" is baffling. Modern windows are going to last a lot longer than that, and more importantly, they'll function a lot better. These modern storm panes are permanently installed, meaning you can no longer open the window. That's a deal breaker for most people who like some airflow after a long stuffy winter.

There's one important lesson to be learned from all of this: The police are not your friends. They are not looking out for you. They are not protecting you. Do not talk to police. DO NOT. TALK. TO POLICE.

Well, yes, that's literally how the law works. The legislative branch passes the law and the judicial branch interprets the law. If you'd sincerely like to know where the line is, I suggest studying case law. Lots of decisions and precedent to read through here: https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/encyclopedia/case/63/libel-and-slander

>Deshaies states in his response that he never tried to get Sorens fired from any job. He contacted Saint Anselm to ask if Sorens was teaching from his Free State Manifesto, which advocates for seceding from the United States and calls for abolishing all government.

So the guy is upset that people are learning who he is and what he stands for? It's not slander if you're just sharing something he wrote. That's the thing about free speech. You can say or write (pretty much) whatever you want, but that doesn't make you immune from the consequences of your own actions.

I don't understand this aspect of the system at all. Dead is dead. If there are separate payouts or penalties associated with suffering they should be automatically applied if the victim dies. You can't know the experience of the person BECAUSE they're dead. That should negate any argument against it. You know what's worse than temporary suffering? DEATH.

Agree. There's also an additional source of PFAS in food, and that's ongoing air and water pollution. In my town, Saint Gobain rendered many private wells unfit for use, due to airborne PFAS that settled or otherwise precipitated out of the atmosphere into the soil and water. Around the country we're also finding trace amounts of PFAS miles from any known source, the theory being it spread through air or rainwater.

I can see the governor's concern, and I'm concerned it won't even be possible to meet the new limits. Several brands of bottled water have levels higher than the new limits. I don't know how many public water supplies in NH have higher levels, but I know many do. The bigger problem is testing. There aren't that many labs capable of testing for the presence of PFAS at levels this low.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have water with zero PFAS. I just don't see how we get there with what we currently have.

And, to another commenter's point, our food supply is also contaminated. Eliminating PFAS in drinking water does nothing to address the PFAS absorbed by plants and animals that we eat.

If the science shows it's dangerous at even these low levels then it needs to be banned everywhere, not just drinking water.

It amounts to about $25,862 per border mile. Or $4.89 per foot.

Honestly, a wall would be cheaper.

EDIT: OK, I had to take this one step further, because who wants a wall?

So instead you could hire people at NH minimum wage ($7.25) to each patrol a 2.5 mile section of border and get entire border coverage 24/7/365. No benefits though, cause live free or die poor.

Hell, sign me up. I already walk around in the middle of nowhere for free.

It could be. I think the judge's comments about the totality of the evidence reference the fact that he was actively looking for a fight. In that case, I don't think you can really claim self-defense.

Like all local politics, there are likely just a handful of people driving this on either side of the issue. Most people just want kids to get an education and are tired of toilet talk.

What would force you to remove a child from a good home? Not sure I understand why that happens.

I've heard similar stories before, so I'd believe it. They're known to travel great distances. When one is actually confirmed here they'll say it was just migrating through, because that's how they get around changing things after denials stop working.

But, likely not what OP heard in the woods, haha.

Face tattoos, yes.

You're not wrong, but for how rare black bear attacks are, I prefer something a bit lighter carrying.

Call it in. License plate is legible

Car dealerships are almost always family businesses. I can't remember the exact reason why... something about it's easier to inherit a license to sell than it is to get one otherwise. I don't have any knowledge about this particular business, but I'd wager a large sum that his primary qualification for running a dealership is his genes.

Article says they're paying restitution to two customers. But yeah, the rest are probably out of luck here, but they can take legal action of their own.

True, you have to assume everyone on the road is an idiot. But still, coming to a complete stop, and then putting on your blinker, followed by backup lights is usually a pretty clear indication of intent.

This is why you should ALWAYS back into a parking spot or driveway, if possible. You have to back up at some point, better to do it when the person behind you can clearly see your intention, you can clearly see the road, and you aren't in a rush. Very rarely do you hear about accidents involving people backing into a driveway, always the other way around. Play the numbers.

This is why it should be legal and only available to people of sound mind -- BUT enforceable if someone stipulates that, "should I ever be incapable of making such a decision ..." Sort of like a DNR, but like, don't keep my body alive if my mind is no longer there.
