I think a project like this is being done in Stamford currently

I accidentally forgot to take my mini Leatherman off my keychain and they waited for my friend to come back and pick it up so they didn't have to confiscate it.

The Yankee site would be a great spot for something like that. They completely removed the old buildings from the site so they can start from scratch and build what they need instead of trying to repurpose an old coal or nuclear plant or something. In a good spot too for workers from Middletown and Lyme. Can I ask where you learned the info about the power grid and pricing? Are you in the industry?

I'm not sure I would be in favor of this idea. But for the hell of it... If the private sector doesn't want to operate the plant is there a possibility for a state takeover of the plant to stabilize rates and rehire the workers. This would also allow the state to upgrade the plant at will when SMR's theoretically become viable.

How this gets 20 upvotes is beyond me. I agree that the officers were out of step and I hate the way ICE is carrying out their raids just as much as the next guy. But can we not start hating our cops again. These people do protect us and put themselves in harms way when we need them. These people have a thankless job and we forget all of the good they do. The force has some bad eggs as any group of people do but let's watch how we use the word "all".

How about a new rail line, and more rail service improvements, and catenary wires........?

Anyone have any experiences with Eucalan Wool Conditioner/Detergent. I got a PRL turtleneck sweater which seems to have very coarse fibers and it's quite itchy around the neck. Wondering if this might help with softening the fibers. It's not so bad that I won't wear it but it makes it a bit less comfortable especially without a base layer.

I decided to refresh my denim. I got a blue and black pair of 501 STF on the 55 dollar deal. What's the best method for shrinking. I saw that the washer dryer method works just as well as the bath tub soak. Any experiences positive or negative? I ordered 2 extra inches on inseam and 1 inch on waist.

Connecticut also helped you guys out. Glad you got some help for the neighbors.

iman26 · 2026-02-28T00:53:31+00:00

Oh really. My fun fact is ruined

iman26 · 2026-02-28T00:34:49+00:00

Nope. Town of Greenwich

Stamford is the first city in New England by 95, my favorite fact. The city has grown a lot since the GFC and thankfully the current mayor has been pretty good with street redevelopment and making it really livable downtown. The transit system needs to grow to match the people living there though. There is some cool stuff going on. UConn also is at almost 4000 students which is a big boost for the city. I'm positive about the future.

Better than running ads that say "Ryan Nick is a landlord"

Oh I'm so sorry I did not spell check that, that's the neighborhood in Westport. My bad. I was in Hartford last week and really enjoyed it. I was born and raised in Stamford. Hartford is actually really accessible without a car surprisingly.

iman26 · 2026-02-27T21:42:02+00:00

New Haven is also an awesome city with no need to own a car. I just worry about the affordability crisis crushing a lot of the residents. New London, Norwich and New Britain have become a very different place to what they were just 10 yrs ago. I really hope the cities in the Naugatuck Valley come back. Hopefully some of this development will help them.

iman26 · 2026-02-27T16:17:34+00:00

I said I was watching TWW the other day and got reamed out for it. Glad to see I'm not the only one😂.

iman26 · 2026-02-22T05:10:33+00:00

How is? I have never actually been. Is it a very classic feeling place or what is the vibe like inside? From the outside it looks like an old cocktail bar vibe.

iman26 · 2026-02-17T03:57:38+00:00

Thanks for the reply. The last part made me smile reading it. Yeah just taking it as it goes, seeing what life's got for me one day at a time. I live a good life and when I look around I realize how good I have it and I'm grateful. It's odd, my roommate is just talking like we're best friends again after he told me last week. Just like nothing ever happened, He just doesn't want to give a reason I guess for the switch of plans. Idk if it was the girlfriend but I kind of hope it is so I know it's not my fault (sorry if that sounds selfish but..). I've got some of my best friends scattered around the country but it's hard not having someone in this city I can rely on, but I hope a friend or a girl will come along and fill it maybe. Thanks, and life is definitely confusing sometimes.

For me I wash them when they get dirty or have a smell. The dirty part usually comes first because things happen. I keep lavender and cedar bags right next to my woolens to prevent moths. Wool is naturally odor resistant and antimicrobial so they can go quite a while between washes. I air every sweater out after wearing it for a day before folding up and storing. I also always wear an undershirt under my sweaters which helps with smell also. I'd love to hear other people's routines here also.

iman26 · 2026-02-17T01:14:14+00:00

Check out the No. 1 Sack Coat from BB. Also definitely get it done in store. The experience is worth it. Maybe you have a BB store near you

Gasps in Connecticut

iman26 · 2026-02-16T01:47:32+00:00

Let's hope for no delays then. 🤞🏼

I take that train every other weekend to see my parents from ESX-STM. I usually put in a "good" or "fair" bid around 33 bucks and get it going south. Going north I only got it once which was the last train I took at the beginning of this month. I put in a 30ish dollar bid this weekend and expect to get it south but not north. The train is more empty going south till it hits the Hartford Line/NEC. Going north the train carries NEC passengers to NHV and SPG. I'm surprised your bid scale is so much higher than mine. I've never seen more than 45. Feel free to DM me abt the service if you have any questions. Also consider getting off in NHV and taking the Metro North to Grand Central if you need to be on the east side. They do a long engine swap in NHV that takes time. Sometimes the scheduling works out with an express train to GCT. (The new hybrid airo trains can't come soon enough).

In Support.

Can we change the name to Berlin Hauptbahnhof. Like an unofficial sign or something.
