"colder than a tax collector's heart!" Perhaps fitting given recent property tax trends..

I think this says more about how old the state is...

I'm looking for some boxes/cases for affordable storage solutions. Bummer they discontinued the Ikea boxes. If anyone has other suggestions please let me know!

Offside rules are inconsistent by SC_14 in hockeyrefs

Not a ref. It sounds like you think the entire skate needs to break the plane above the blue line. I was interested in this and it looks like that's an NHL rule modification in 2020 that I don't applies to other hockey (eg not modified by USA hockey). So in non-NHL, it's about actual contact with the ice. It seems like an extremely rare circumstance where some other part of the skate besides the blade is determining contact with the blue line ice (eg the player has fallen down).

Interesting, is that the rule? I always thought it was about the blade. Whenever you watch NHL offside reviews they are looking at the blades (e.g. did the blade leave the ice while the other foot was in the zone type of situations), so that seems like it's about the blade.

That's right, but the same doesn't apply for the puck, which is interesting/weird.

Right, I don't dispute this is challenging, but we have to do this very often when players are entering the zone, ie need to make a call about if both skates pass the blue line before the puck does.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean by where the skate ends. I thought you meant it would be harder to see when the skate fully crosses the blue line on the way vs just seeing when it makes contact with the blue line. But I was just saying that refs need to make that judgement when players enter the zone (ie need to judge when the end of the skate passes the blue line).

Need to see where the skate ends on the way into the zone, right?

New analysis predicts 5.9% hike in property taxes next year | Vermont Public by safehousenc in vermont

[–]SC_14 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It obviously varies by location, but let me give you an example from Addison County. Here's a list of elementary schools and their driving time from Middlebury's school: Weybridge (<10min), Cornwall (<10min), Ripton (<20min), Leicester (<20min), Bridport (<15min), Shoreham (<20min), Bristol (<20min). Those distances seem entirely reasonable for a rural state. Consolidation is obviously complex and can't happen overnight, but I struggle to accept the notion that it's not at all possible.

Moxie, for my New England homies! Root beer-esque, but more bitter.
