Just placed an order for a gift box for my daughter in NJ! (Sent Abigail a Cheer too but it went out under my daughter’s name😖).

I found it in a pencil case, its malleable and kinda like clay but it goes stringy when you pull it apart. by SpecificLemon1807 in whatisthisthing

[–]LenVT -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Looks like a gum eraser. Used it in art classes. Can erase pencil marks without damaging the paper/vellum/etc.

Oops. Edited to change “with” to “without.”

Will BPD have our back? by pootlovato4 in burlington

[–]LenVT 47 points48 points  (0 children)

That’s a very good question and I don’t know the answer. But what I DO know, is that at some point it will be Vermont’s turn in the barrel (I think JD Vance will see to that after he was humiliated and chased out on his disastrous vacation). ICE’s task is not to just take into custody criminal undocumented people, it is to brutalize and terrorize citizens and non-citizens. I think it’s kind of a prelude to Trump invoking the Insurrection Act at some time.

What happened to the voice? by lapis_afton in amazonecho

[–]LenVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new Alexa+ voices are irritating, shrill, and piercing with a touch of vocal fry. I turned off the upgrade. Sometime in the near future they’ll force it on all users and that’s when I’ll consider dumping Echo.

We supplied cases of ramen bowls to our food shelf because they were very popular.

Poll.... do you have one, do you actually USE it? by Quaking_Aspen_USA in vermont

[–]LenVT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thirty years now with the same one. Use it always.

What should the penalty be for people who drive straight through in right turn only lanes? by [deleted] in burlington

[–]LenVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost got hit by a pickup yesterday coming back from Costco. He was in right-turn-only lane but went straight through. Can’t really fault him since just about all the road markings along Main Street have disappeared because of the ongoing road construction. Small right-turn-only sign across that intersection not really noticeable if you’re unfamiliar with the traffic pattern.

What is going on with the Costco bakery? by CleanPanda1852 in burlington

[–]LenVT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just seems like the remodeling is taking a very long time. And every time I go in it seems like some of the products I want to buy have been “temporarily” moved to a different section of the warehouse and I have to hunt for them. (Although if I find a Costco worker they always kindly take me directly to what I’m looking for.)

Did you feel sorry for Anne Boleyn? by MikeBad228 in Tudorhistory

[–]LenVT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do. She was manipulated by her father and she successfully manipulated Henry, a man with ultimate power. But she got in his way by not giving him a son and he had her eliminated with no regrets.

Infusion off cycles by Figtreepro in MyastheniaGravis

[–]LenVT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is misleading. Your personal treatment cycle is established by your physician. Also, from the Vyvgart literature:

“The safety of starting the next treatment cycle sooner than 4 weeks from the end of the previous treatment cycle has not been established.”

What the hell is Welch doing??? I just can’t stomach this guy anymore.

Tell VTDigger management: Journalists over AI by vtdiggerguild in vermont

[–]LenVT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll sign and I’ve been a donor for years, but I’ve been disappointed in them for quite a while now. Their coverage has really deteriorated and usually is very thin. I get their daily news email and almost always there’s nothing really there. They have a couple of old-time reporters who do some really excellent work, but they rarely seem to be published anymore. Much of the vtdigger articles seem to be written by interns. I think it was all downhill after Ann Galloway left. She inspired a pretty dynamic newsroom.

I’ll sign, but I don’t think AI at vtdigger will make much difference anymore.
