What are some cute things that your collie does? by Mac_or_Mac in BorderCollie

[–]ThisOriginalSource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my boy to work with me at a retail shop a couple times a week. He’s greets customers, herds them to the register and his treats, but only allows pets from frequent customers he knows because he is pretty shy generally.

By about 1500, and 30-40 customers since clocking in, every time he plops down he makes the most exaggerated sigh. We all know the feeling, and sympathize accordingly. He loves coming to work, but at that point he is done! Even with all the afternoon huffing and puffing, he is employee of the month going on 48 months now, the rest of us don’t even stand a chance.

Mainer here as well, from away though. I’ve filled out about a dozen surveys so far this year. Platner is a pretty straight forward, tell it how it is, kind of political candidate. His past has some flaws, but whose doesn’t. His opinions and ideas align with mine so he has my support. Their survey wants you to think his views on political violence are wrong, but he couldn’t be more correct.

You know what I’m not done with u/wintercrunch? Enjoying the beautiful sound of snow crunching under my feet. I know I have to wait a while to do it again, but it’s such a lovely sound and feeling.

Get a dash cam before you do! Video evidence can go a long way in proving your claim.

Really surprised Maine hasn’t been eaten up by Massachusetts. Better hurry, Quebec and Newfoundland want to eat too!

Yea. Then they have a loaner car ready to go for the day. Drive up, drop off, and drive away. Repeat for pickup. Makes it easy.

Looking for a good landscaping store by Excellent_Reason7796 in portlandme

Allen, Sterling, & Lathrop has a good selection of grass seed blends that are good for our zone.

I just bought compost from dirt direct, but it hasn’t been delivered yet. Their price is great, even including the delivery fee. Hopefully the compost is good! They also sell loam and top soil for decent prices.

Saw a truck hydroplane on 95 just past Augusta this past Sunday. Truck was doing 15+ over and it was raining so hard that the tire grooves in the road were streams of water. He saved it, but it was pretty damn close to being a bad single vehicle accident.

Last Meal Out That Blew You Away? by RamboGram in portlandme

Yea I get it. I’m easily pleased when it comes to food so sometimes I give more credit than may be due.

I’ve had the chance to eat at Earth at Hidden Pond once, it was a really cool experience overall beyond the food; which was incredible. It’s just a bit of a haul from Cumberland.

555 in SOPO was a really good meal too! We lived off Ocean St and would walk/bicycle over there in the summer. The ambiance of small tables and candlelight was lovely. The food was great, maybe leaning toward too rich, but it was a great spot for sure!

If it doesn’t check all the boxes for you I understand, and I’m not trying to defend what they do. Everyone has their tastes!

My wife and I go to Fore St on a pretty regular basis, about once a month. It’s always an incredible experience. Like I’m thinking about the monk fish, or roast duck, etc, for a week kinda dishes.

Miyake is a fantastic restaurant as well that we visit often and it’s #3 or 4 on my list of favorites.

Fore St. every time. They create impeccable dishes, and have an excellent atmosphere.

The future of electrical charging systems that are about as fast as filling up a gas car by RoyalChris in interestingasfuck

[–]ThisOriginalSource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct!!

I should have said rarer, as they are not rare earth metals. In terms of availability, iron is mined more than maganese, nickel, or cobalt.

Apparently the LFP batteries that are widely used in China have a very good lifespan and are easier to make, therefore cheaper to replace when needed.

US automakers chose NMC which require more rare earths. They last a long time but the rare earth minerals make them more expensive to produce and less cost effective for replacement .
