I don't understand. What is better than free?
Windmills and solar panels... once you build them. A little maintenance and free energy. No digging up energy. No putting it in or on a truck or tanker ship. No license plates and replacement tires and registrations and hiring drivers and ship captains and crew.
Nothing like that bullshit. Just sunlight and wind.
100 years from now I hope we think all that old fashioned stuff is stupid. Because it is.

Reply to Was there ever a mob in Connecticut? by Stamfordsterling
No. Of course not. It's just silliness from movies.
There is no such thing as the mob.
Move along and stop asking questions. That's how nice guys like you end up with some kind of kneecap related accident.

Also consider Bradley International Airport just outside of Hartford CT. It's also about an hour away and much less congested than Logan.

Reply to Has anyone changed electricity suppliers? by Rinleigh
My town did. It's about 50% of what National Grid charges for power. Not for transmission. National Grid owns the poles and wires so their charge is basically fixed and there's nothing that can be done about it.
But the power provider can be changed at will.

Reply to Moving to Massachusetts next summer. by pastywhiterunner
This area is dripping with history. I'm not kidding. You can hardly drive 5 straight miles without seeing a historical plaque.
This is where so and so general crossed this river with troops for such and such battle in the colonial war. This is where such and such tribe of Indians (the plaque doesn't say Native Americans but sometimes it does list the specific tribe) did this or that thing.
You'll regularly pass buildings that were erected in the early 1800s and drive through towns that were founded in the 1700s and even 1600s.
It's so common that as a resident I know all this and see it all the time but it hardly registers.

Good luck gals. Hope you get some action. Heh.

Reply to What is the deal with blinding LED headlights and the drivers who won't turn them down for approaching cars? by funkygrrl
They are coming like this from the factory. I'm an old dude who bought a Subaru Outback. I did nothing to it.
I get flashed that I'm using high beams sometimes but I am not. I can't help it. It is designed that way and didn't even know it until I'd been driving it for a while.

Reply to comment by Calfzilla2000 in Why is National Grid increasing rates by 64% by oceansofmyancestors
Cool. We could’ve saved a few hundred a year going to a community trash pickup but “no government buttholes are going to run my life!!!” Loonies showed up at the town hall meeting and screamed it down.
I was pissed. Now we are still stuck with like 5 trash haulers and the rates are terrible and the friggin huge heavy trucks destroy our roads.
People can be so dumb sometimes. Sigh.
Anyway - rant done. Lol. Take care fellow Oxford resident.

My town has a local power buy. Even they are going up a lot.
Oxford MA
EDIT: Exact numbers: Was: 10.316 / kWh Will be: 15.540 / kWh
53.3% increase.
For reference National Grid will be 33.891 / kWh so Oxford price is still crazy better. It just going up, too.

Reply to Former Worcester man awarded $8M after jury finds police fabricated evidence to convict him by HRJafael
Who has to pay this? I live nearby. Will my taxes be affected?
Whenever we see this bullshit we should speak up as tax payers. The police unions are so powerful and the laws protecting police from misconduct are so unbeatable we have to apply leverage the only way we can - through money.
