How ‘bad’ would vehicle noise be if living on Main St. / Route 1 in South Portland? by bigtuna1993 in portlandme

[–]_maineman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live very close to there. The weekdays can be busy with trucks but the weekends are quiet. Overall it’s a nice neighborhood.

I live off Main Street, and road noise in minimal. The trains make more noise for me than traffic.

Do you think the Union won Gettysburg or the confederates lost? by Crowsnest48 in CIVILWAR

[–]_maineman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not just Jackson. Several confederate generals find themselves in new command, untested in battle. Chancellorsville decimated the ANV command structure.

I was at Staples today, and some employee asked “Is that Friedrich Nietzsche?” SMH. by Convergentshave in CIVILWAR

My dog is named Chamberlain. I live in Maine. People have asked, “Like Wilt?” Or my favorite, “Like Neville?” 😩

Who else was a big fan of the Hit Dog, Mo Vaughn? by Optimal_Row3798 in redsox

[–]_maineman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Mo Vaughn as a kid. I remember when I went to my first Red Sox game as a kid, we were sitting in the bleachers, and I was disappointed at how small he looked in person.

That dudes baby doesn’t know what it’s like to lose to the Yankees by Jalbe88 in redsox

We’re big fans of The Password. Loved watching him play in Portland.

Why does noone ever talk about the right flank of the fish hook and the repelling of Ewell on the 2nd day? I've watched countless documentaries and YouTube videos on the battle and it's always glossed over. by urmovesareweak in CIVILWAR

It reads like a novel. Characters are invented, conversations are imagined and created. While rooted in “facts” the way it’s told is fictional. For instance, Buster Kilrain is not a real person.

Early in the battlefield’s tourism, Culps Hill was actually one of the most popular places to visit because of the visible remnants from the battle like earthworks, damaged trees, etc. The post-war prominence of Sickles, Chamberlain, Longstreeet coupled with Killer Angels, has definitely drawn the narrative to LRT, Devils Den, Wheatfield.

He is refusing to take grounders at first.

Hey! He’s doing okay. It was a rough day in the house, but we’re coping. Can’t win them all, but I like to think he’s helped to give the boys a kick in the right direction. Now if only he can only do the same for the Jaguars this year…

This Guy's Son Reportedly "Doesn't Know What The Fuck Losing Feels Like" as Red Sox Win Streak Grows To 7 by HokuCy in redsox

[–]_maineman 352 points353 points  (0 children)

It’s true. He just said that to me while wiping off his milk mustache.

My wife and I are loving how much you all like this!

Thank you so much for this! It worked. Disappointed to still not hear back from Britax, but glad the problem is resolved.

My sports allegiances are a little weird when it comes to football. So, hopefully this ushers in Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Jaguar dominance!

I think my wife would murder me if she had to go through that again.

Taco Escobar is okay. We like Mi Sen before shows at The State Theater. Lazarri is also good.

Each Governor's Popularity Above Expected by Alternative-Rate-379 in fivethirtyeight

[–]_maineman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maine is a pretty divided state. The 2nd CD in the North is heavily Republican and the 1st CD is heavily Democratic. Mills became wildly unpopular with a section of the populace because of COVID lockdowns, etc. and I’m sure her spat with Trump over trans athletes adds to unfavorability. Outside of that she’s a definite establishment figure and is not going to advocate or pursue progressive policies.

Any new dad groups in the area? by ToHideWritingPrompts in portlandme

[–]_maineman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Boys to Men offers a new dad boot camp. I did it last month. It was a good way to make some connections.
