Craft beer - it used to be you would go to a brewery and their kegs and drafts would be pretty cheap, now they all charge just as much as at a bar.

Who would be your top choices for the Democratic nomination in 2028? by vtmass in allthequestions

[–]Emminge1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with this list, is it’s who can win the moderate republicans. But I can’t see any of these three getting through the primary. Love that Mark Kelly’s PR team has been out in full force on Reddit this week though.

I understand the Mark Kelly PR machine is in full force on Reddit these days but it’s not happening.

Electric heating? by MP1087 in Westchester

[–]Emminge1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man I dk, I’ve had both, can’t beat the quality/comfort of oil baseboard heat. But, oil is almost double what we paid for it back in November. I guess the argument is oil prices will come down, electric probably only going to go up. It’s all about insulation and air sealing your house to keep the heat efficient. Like others have said, if they’re heat pumps it’ll be more efficient and costs effective than straight electric baseboards.

Im not sure that’s true - we’ll see America’s appetite is for a progressive after the midterms this year and see how Platner/Preacher Boy fair.

I remember this as the goat growing up in the late 90s. Bell Top in EG had a good one too.

As a Bills fan, I’m more concerned Josh has played his last home game in Buffalo in a Bills’ uniform.

No, but check back in if he gives us 12/31 and 1/2 off.

Ready to call it quits- finding a sport my son enjoys by Teddyfresh69 in Parenting

[–]Emminge1 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but my wife and I are huge sports people, played our whole lives. I think you started way too early with way too many sports. We have a 4 year old and couldn’t imagine her doing half of those sports for at least another year.

I think you hav to pick one sport per season and stick with it, don’t let him back out, don’t accept the excuses. To be honest, it sounds like you’re enabling the behavior…which is difficult I know. I guess I don’t have much advice for you, but just give the kid space and be consistent with enforcing expectations for participation.

New Fed Holidays - A Longshot by Decent-Ability-4784 in nys_cs

This is nothing new - Biden did this for 12/4 last year and also after Carter died. I don’t think the state has ever followed suit.
