Dumpling Cafe

We got about a foot in concord, pretty heavy too. And good lord the roads are slushy

Yes, you’re right, the great engineering jobs are around Boston for this area. My son’s best friend graduated UMass in computer engineering & started a hybrid job as an engineer when he graduated . He lives in Quincey, MA & 2 years later makes 6 figures and employer pays half his rent plus has great perks. NH has more limited opportunities for professional work overall at competitive salaries. I grew up in southern NH & even my dad commuted to CT for his job (landscape architect).

I was not talking about politicians. If I was talking about people who were public figures I would give examples. I don't think it's justifiable to point to regular people from one camp or another as examples for the sake of an internet argument.

It also seems really silly. If you haven't seen both left and right wing crazy already it must be your first day on the internet.

This may help, too:

Manchester is kid gloves for people used to real cities, but there's some areas ("the tree streets") that generally have the majority of the crime.

There's nowhere I feel uncomfortable walking in Manchester, really outside of places that would be sketchy anywhere alone at night.

Grow up, Suzy. It's possible to ask if a corporation that is gouging us for extremely high rates is doing everything they can to mitigate service impact while also not being in fear for one's life. I'll be fine, but hopefully someone is thinking about how to make these problems less common.

Taiwan Cafe in Boston has soup dumplings. They’re pretty good.

Thank you! I think I'm leaning towards Manchester this is exactly the advice I was looking for.

They had tons of time late winter waiting on spring… hahaha

East Wakefield. Wicked windy. Almost 2 feet of fluffy white fake looking snow. Not looking forward to shoveling

Oh please. I've lived in NH for close to 40 years. We've endured 4 and 5 days of no power. I've had my hot water pipes for heat freeze (and break). 48 hours won't kill you.

The other reason to go with the CPC over a for profit alternative is that the CPC will be reinvesting in the towns and cities that it operates. The reinvestment will be in renewable energy projects and energy efficiency projects. I would rather have the money I pay for electricity stay in NH, where it will have a multiplier effect.

Yup. One of the boundary lines on my property is defined by a stone wall.

I call that mowing the driveway.

They are my favorite days. Calm, quiet, no internet... Lovely.

I've been walking my dog where you took this picture on and off for weeks. Dog is old, that spot is flat and without traffic or snowbanks. If you went up past the high school you could have heard me cursing snow, snow plows, snow blower, and generator too...

NH has the highest average IQ* of any state!

• Yeah, I know IQ tests are bad.

Not much in Bristol, a few inches of heavy wet stuff. The roads were just wet most of the day.

Don't forget servicing and flooding of those concrete tubes

Why do I believe they did? Well, as a tiny ISP trying to sell competing DSL on wholesale Verizon copper in 2007 (and failing at it because of their monopoly), the joke we made at the time was that Verizon was terrified a Democrat might win the 2008 election and do something nuts like mandate broadband for everyone. And Maine/NH/VT were the fastest way to lose on that deal, so they sold them off and laughed all the way to the bank.

Update for me: still snowing in Rochester and I'm at 20-22"

I'm full WFH, and with a cool boss I can dip out to go skiing on days like this.

Lots of new apartments going up in and around downtown, that would be the ideal location so you can walk to bars and restaurants. Outside of that most neighborhoods are safe, and it is a small city so just a short drive to downtown from wherever you are. Only areas I would avoid would be the Kalivas Union neighborhood southeast of downtown and the Piscataquog neighborhood on the West Side.

Do you know if Bristol got a lot? I know Meredith is also off exit 23 just the opposite direction. I have a project i am working on in Bristol just trying to get an idea of how much snow I may need to move…
