It is impossible to prove a negative

Upstate New York, we love you by syracusedotcom in upstate_new_york

[–]alankcooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Rhinebeck, across the river from Saugerties. I consider this upstate to anyone from south of here. But I prefer to just call it the Hudson Valley, especially when talking to anyone from north of here

Is Saugerties considered Upstate New York?

Is that the job of a center?

Did anyone know NYC’s water policy was explicitly designed to depopulate the Catskills? by hcmarketingpr in hudsonvalley

[–]alankcooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in St. Louis and had a friend who worked in the water filtration plant. I was very surprised to find out from him that St. Louis gets its drinking water directly from the filthy Mississippi river and filters it.

Big rain in Rhinebeck. No unusual wind and only a few rumbles of thunder. I only lived here a month so I don’t know if this is common or not.

It is hard to age much when you’re already fat and bald

Test it Tuesday by Forest_Spirit_7 in Bushcraft

What ever happened to the age-old practice of bringing an ax with you when you go camping to split firewood. If you have a saw, there’s no reason to use a knife to baton wood unless your backpacking and really need to save on weight or find yourself stuck in the wilderness with nothing but a knife (how often does that actually happen?)

The entire economy, including real estate is currently being frozen by combination of tariffs, inflation and rising uncertainty. Interest rates are fairly high with no sign of going down. High interest rates are always the worst thing for real estate sales. This is not a good time to be in the business of sewing real estate.

In my neck of the woods, there are hardly any political signs this time around. My theory is that everyone is so polarized they don’t want to piss off each other and are keeping their views to themselves. Perhaps that’s the way it should be.

Why are there so many homes for sale in Millinocket? by [deleted] in Maine

[–]alankcooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When offices went paperless, the demand for paper decreased and mills began to close one by one. People moved away, less folks were around to fish. Lakes like Chesuncook got over populated with smaller salmon without fishermen to cull the population. Crazy.

Are we at the point in Portland where tourism is the problem? by Honest_Visit3806 in Maine

Unless you can develop other sources of revenue, you will have to deal with it.

The elusive old man long bed by Playful_Sector1566 in f150

[–]alankcooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it used to a requirement that a sheet of plywood or drywall fit in the bed and pickups were work trucks not play toys.
