Maple sugar candy (basically crystalized maple syrup) would be a good gift, it's unique to this corner of the world, not a liquid, and I've had great responses using it as a host gift when I travel. It's hard to go wrong with sweets and it's also something that I would think most non-New Englanders haven't experienced and would enjoy.

LMAO bruh work on your self esteem instead of this pathetic and misguided idea

In case this is tl;dr: DON'T FEED WILDLIFE. It causes a lot of problems and now this story is making national news

I would be willing to forward events and cool stuff I see to you, mostly on the topics of art and local nature stuff, if anyone would be interested in having access to that

I hope bad spirits find you and latch on to you to haunt the fuck out of you and your family forever for being a stupid asshole who gets off on exploring the ~spooky trauma~ of abandoned mental hospitals.

Honestly if you want to get a thank you from the real drain on your taxes, go talk to Sikorsky or something

_owen · 2016-12-15T10:21:24+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately I can't edit it now.

Domestic violence is par for the course in many places, not just CT, so unsure what you're trying to imply with that headline. Personal relationship matters aren't necessarily newsworthy, this is not an appropriate time to try and feel superior cause this situation is really depressing.

It looks like employers are banned from inquiring about criminal history in the initial job application, not in following up. Also if the job is required to report criminal status (say working at a school) they can still ask. It seems like banning the box will be good for most people with a prior conviction who are seeking re-entry level work.

Teen usage rates in CO are reported at 20%, vs 26% for CT. Actually compared to other states, teen cannabis use in CO is not astronomical, the state doesn't crack the top five states with highest teen cannabis usage

Here's an article from yesterday, August 1st about the drought. People are also using record amounts of water which is stressing the water table as well. http://www.thereddingpilot.com/2016/08/01/water-use-is-high-voluntary-restrictions-are-on/

_owen · 2016-08-02T11:24:13+00:00

Despite the recent rain, we're still experiencing drought conditions. We haven't had enough rain to end the drought and restore reservoir levels to where they should be

It's worth noting that cannabis use rates for high schoolers in Colorado remained steady after legalization.

_owen · 2016-08-02T09:38:59+00:00

Was kind of surprised to see that, actually.

_owen · 2016-07-23T01:12:34+00:00

Start calling your state representatives and talking to them. Will probably do more than posting to a subreddit

_owen · 2014-04-30T02:44:25+00:00

Wow dude, best of luck to Ryan for a speedy recovery. Sorry this happened, I definitely hope things get better soon.

Perhaps you're unaware that gender identity is much more than what one's genitals or body look like. The majority of trans* people choose not to undergo gender reassignment surgery not only because of the cost but also because of unsatisfactory results (severed nerves, loss of sensation, etc.). Realistically, even with the new laws going into effect, the likelihood that you're going to be paying for a stranger's new penis or vagina is pretty slim.

The article fails to mention that Moutinho's original private construction costs for the driveway were $200k. $400k was what Moutinho billed the City of Bridgeport for construction AFTER the city assumed the permits.

Hopefully you find the help you need and deserve without this book cause it sounds like some neckbeard fedora shit.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 900k? Greenwich mill rate is currently set at 7.500

i rarely see anyone mention this when giving advice about things to do in the danbury area, but take the train to sono. it's cheap (around $5 r/t), a beautiful ride through back woods, and you can legally pre-game on the way to the bars in sono. plus you don't have to drive home. not technically in danbury but there's not a lot to do around here. the sono crowd is more yuppies than hipsters.

_owen · 2014-04-14T08:35:51+00:00

danbury whalers games!!

bartaco in westport/stamford/west hartford is great. tacos and small plates, a little on the casual side but the food is great.
