Excellent point regarding the sprayer/splash shield; that has been essential.

Thanks for the detergent reminder. So far I’ve been doing no soap prewash, wash with soap, double extra rinse. I’m probably using too much soap though, and it’s hard to find guidelines of what’s recommended!

That’s helpful, thanks! Just need it to warm up here and I can try that…

Yeah, the laundry volume is something else. They take so long to wash and dry, considering how thick they are. Adds hours a day!

I still don’t understand how this element of it doesn’t violate the Brigham decision.

#VTfood needs to be a thing! Such great options in our state.

Oh I hadn’t thought of that, quite interesting. Older people (e.g., me) see these as distinct due to their medium when we grew up, so we overlay that in our understanding; that medium distinction doesn’t exist for those who grew up with everything on Netflix.

I’m curious—what is the explanation you give? I feel more and more like I’m watching 10 hour movies when I watch prestige TV shows these days.

I once wrote an entire parody song about grading papers instead of grading papers. The grading struggle is real.

LOL! I hear you there, we’ve basically become reduced to discussing feeding and pooping and little else. We’re not even at 3 weeks yet so there’s a long way to go…

A little lingo that may be helpful to your readers: when a bill goes into committee it goes “on the wall.” Why? There’s literally a bulletin board on the wall with index cards for each bill.

Of an unpopular bill, you might hear a lawmaker say “oh, we’re leaving that one on the wall.”

There’s an old saying in politics: the majority decides what will pass, and the minority decides when it will pass.

The second part of that equation only works if the minority is actually pulling all the levers available to them, which they are not.

I’ve been disappointed by the lack of interaction on this platform & was happy about your post today. I think the issue we are facing in this conversation is the inherent limitations of the medium. 300 characters is not enough to have a real conversation about issues, which is what I am lamenting.

Nope. Appreciate the reminder on how social media is truly the worst possible medium for actual conversation. Have a good one.

Ok but I don’t care about what they say. As per my first question, I wanted to know your opinion. If you don’t want to offer one, fine, but that seems an odd way to end a discussion you asked to start. If we expect social media to be a valuable discussion platform we can’t mic drop links.

Why do you mean by limit and cap in this instance? Act 250 generally or something else?
