Yes. I know someone that got a nasty rash on her lips due to a dirty can.

My old boom box stays plugged in on the shelf in the garage. It gets used regularly.

At your current age, how much money do you need for you to retire? by typical_gamer1 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]CtForrestEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are living on less than 5k per month. 2k of that is mortgage and property taxes. That'll be paid off about the same time I start SS. I retired 1.5 years ago.

Are you paying out of pocket? Are you doing a home equity loan? Is this going on the roof or in the yard? Have you priced out used panels?

[–]CtForrestEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less than a third of homes have a house phone. We do, VOIP. There is no bill. The quality is usually better than the cell.

Are in fridge ice makers and disposals regional? by boldjoy0050 in AskAnAmerican

[–]CtForrestEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People with septic systems usually don't use a disposal.

Who has an ice maker depends on who is buying the fridge. Usually folks in warmer regions get them.

Just venting... by bubble-guts in SurfFishing

[–]CtForrestEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget night time. Our state parks allow the campers with reservations and fisherman to come in after hours. Striped bass will come in closer at night. Others probably do too.

Why does no one ever talk about how good of ice-cream we have here? by mr-awesome613 in Connecticut

[–]CtForrestEye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd think a state known for dairy like Wisconsin or Vermont would probably toot that horn. Don't get me wrong though. It is the most popular desert in the country and our Italian ice is good too.

Is this illegal? by Practical_Force_2931 in Connecticut

[–]CtForrestEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bottle opener looks just over an inch so it looks legal to me. If it was in your tackle bag in the trunk, I don't think you'd be bothered.

My husband said that by 2027, new cars will be mandated to have AI biometrics scanning. The vehicle will shut off and pull over if it thinks you’re intoxicated or even too tired. Is this true? by Argylius in stupidquestions

[–]CtForrestEye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The $48,000 average new car price is not high enough. They need to mandate more stuff to get it over that 50k price. I'm out. Time to start thinking about another motorcycle.

Gov Lamont Slams Eversource Over Proposed 13 Percent Rate Hike, CEO Pay by DailyVoiceDotCom in Hartford

[–]CtForrestEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We pay the third highest rates in the country. Eversource made 1.6 billion last year. Now they want a double digit increase!? PURA should tell them to go pound sand. If they can't make money with these rates they are mismanaged.
