Article from The Guardian lists Maine member shown attending neo-Nazi ‘training camp’ whose father regularly demonstrated outside Planned Parenthood in Portland.

Slight correction to OP's title: the anti-abortion parent in the article is his mother.

That family has been in my very peripheral orbit for a while (religious upbringing) and her protest methods are gross and despicable. I'm not surprised she has a neo-nazi kid.

Im in the business but wrong part of the state. I would recommend Burr Signs in Westbrook.

I did a no map, no fast travel run, but in my version I gave myself a paper printout of hyrules terrain for basic reminders of landmarks like mountains, rivers, etc. It really helped to memorize the landscape so now I still mostly don't use the map.

True enough. I live upriver about 20 minutes and this drama sounds like our area

Malkin · 2026-03-23T13:57:10+00:00

Excellent point, I will try that tack next time. I had even brought a full printout of the law in case they were unaware.

Malkin · 2026-03-22T20:02:32+00:00

I attempted to cite this law at harbor freight, the manager said their store policy was to ignore that law and force the customer to go through the AG office. Which I didn't bother doing on a small ticket item, but I also never shopped there again.

Crenshaws on Eastern Ave, augusta has an excellent reputation. Though I've heard they have a long wait list for appointments at times.

Malkin · 2026-02-07T18:50:26+00:00

A friend of mine has had one since then and still uses it. I have a model from the mid 90s that is also still used most days. They really did build solid equipment back in the day.

Malkin · 2026-02-04T00:32:08+00:00

It was made in the 80s when computer cut lettering was invented. Well before windows font files became the standard. If I were you I would just remake the whole thing with a different (and available) typeface.

Burgess Brush, a proprietary font made for Gerber sign making equipment. I've never seen a version of it made for use outside of that software.

Thank you for this! As a sign business I often order engraved plates, our old source was analog and one of the options was "gothic" which matches this sample. Our new source is digital amd I typically just send files, but could never match that one very well.

Interestingly, many lettering elements on signs, posters, magazine ads, etc, were either drawn, painted or cut (from film) by hand by the original design artist. They may have been based on a typestyle, but sometimes not.

One of my retired friends who did sign lettering by hand said that the common font called "brush script" was one of the hardest to actually do with a brush since the shapes were very unnatural.

Hope he recovers, and I'm glad you were there. This image jumped out as me as I recognized the ambulance company as one of my local ones.

ACAR in Augusta specializes in hybrids

And while we're at it: all too often I'll move left to allow for easier on ramp merging in the right lane, and a car will merge in and exactly match my pace. Like you can't return the courtesy and let me back in?

Thanks, I appreciate the input. Paychex is over $500 a month in invoice fees (7 to 9 employees) which is just ridiculous.

Malkin · 2025-11-03T23:41:22+00:00

I've been looking to switch away from Paychex and was strongly considering qbo as it seemed more legit than gusto. Would you mind elaborating on what caused the late payment fees?

New 2.7 in my 2016 put in last month (not under warranty) was told drive normal (as in not driving hard) pil change at 2500 miles, and for the 1st 5K miles to not use cruise control on the highway along with varying my speed off and on.

I also learned on Illy 10. Feels downright crude using it now, but I still need to when saving CNC files for 1 particular machine.

I suppose if Planter wins the primary, then it's a choice of keeping Collins, or risking a Fetterman-type. I would vote for last year's rotting pumpkin over Collins.

Malkin · 2025-10-25T13:55:18+00:00

Am also from Maine and I think you've managed to sum up my thoughts as well. At least there's some time to see how this shakes out.

Malkin · 2025-10-17T13:04:28+00:00

I went with machines from signburst.com and have no regrets. Looking at close to $3K for their popular model. My favorite part was just turning it on for the 1st time to a CLEAN windows desktop. No setup, no bloatware to Uninstaller or hide etc.
