You're also in southern maine, where it's not really rural. Not for maine at least.

Reply to comment by Doc_coletti in Shellfish harvester drowned in Waldoboro last night by Doc_coletti
That sounds terrifying. Everyone should learn to swim, but it should be a fucking requirement for getting a fishing permit and I’m kinda shocked it’s not. I kinda doubt this was the issue this time (that water’s frigid this time of year) but like… what?

Reply to comment by big_sports_guy in What’re some cool places to explore or drive north of Bangor? by [deleted]
Stop into Sherman Mills, super cute village right off the highway, then catch Rt. 2 north through Island Falls up to Houlton.

Anywhere up by katahdin is cool, patten/sherman area has some good views on the highway and around that area

Not crazy, but also has a fair amount of burnout with it. I have family in law enforcement in Maine and there is alwayyys overtime/extra shifts, etc. if it’s something you’re interested in though definitely look into it!

No, sorry I didn’t explain that well. They don’t reissue titles for cars that are older than 1999. So if someone bought a 96 Ford Taurus that year, registered and titled it that year and still own it, they should still have that title. I imagine the state of NH decided to stop reissuing titles for older vehicles to cut down on paperwork or something.

Do you actually have any equipment that supports speed higher than 1Gbps? Router, switches, wifi, etc? It is possible but not common for residential equipment.
kintokae t1_jeepw4z wrote
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.

Haven't been drunk in years. Not a good look for a mom, I decided.

No. Low population density leads to low drama.

I am in healthcare now and going back to school for computer science in the fall. Even before Covid started, I was starting to feel burn out and decided to start planning. It’s unfortunate because I do care about patients and helping others, but it’s taking a mental toll on me personally.

You need to be more specific. This is like asking “what’s cool to see in the entire state of Vermont”.

Reply to comment by sspif in Unity college by MickyW98
Yeah, Unity embraced it's name. Used to have a great diverse student base, close community on and off campus. Great dedicated professors and a wonderful atmosphere. I recall being able to go to the union, grab one of 20 old chipped mugs that seemed to come from peoples homes, sweeten it with honey harvested from a professor's beehive and then pay the girl at the counter who was doing work study. All while bob Marley or some other reggae was playing on the rigged together stereo.
A few years later, it was homogenized. All sysco food and disposable cups, pepsi products and run by employees in uniform with no music or a stereo to play it. The place had been gutted.
Fuck "progress" at Unity the administration destroyed the place. Stole the name and moved out of town.

It really is- heck when more then half the state lost power for like 14-20 hours earlier this winter we had almost every surrounding street down with no power but we are on a priority grid so we were up quick. I think there’s places on this list in these counties that offer what people need- and we purposely made sure we had quick electric access and cable internet availability- honestly we would have paid to have a pole installed for it if nothing was an option- I had a friend who lives 5 miles away lose power for 3 days and didn’t have internet for 5 bc she lives on a backroad - it really is relative.
