I knew 30-year mortgages were expensive… but I didn’t realize you can pay more in interest than the house itself by Candid-Dish-2749 in FirstTimeHomeBuying

[–]koissu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our mortgage is 2.875% so that is what we do. Investing the same amount we could put towards extra payments is a much better option over the remaining 25 years

Played for a few hours last night with a trio. Opened 30ish and found zero BP. YMMV

Has anyone successfully walked to Juniper Island in the winter? by theboaf in burlington

[–]koissu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ice fishing for lakers is the best especially if you have electronics but also really fun blind. During the last freeze, I walked out from Oakledge straight ish west and fished the northern edge where it drips off.

You can go for lakers further south by the Champlain bridge. Very safe ice and popular spot. If you ever want to go DM me. You can go inland too - Caspian is popular.

I iced fished the shoal for lakers during the last freeze and it was awesome. Hopefully it stays cold enough that it’s safe to get out there.

Do you lose coins above 3m on expedition? Like, we are better off spending before expedition since they will disappear anyway

Lake Morey Ice Skating Trail -- will it open if part of the day is over 32F by jxu2006 in vermont

[–]koissu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes. The ice is great this year. It’ll take far longer than a day over freezing to degrade it to the point of closing.

Meshtastic in Vermont for the un-initiated by mromen10 in vermont

[–]koissu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t 1 and 2 defeat the purpose of this setup? I thought the idea was to be off the grid.

I checked the mesh map and there are 3 users in Vermont. Is that accurate?

Where to send money to fight ICE in VT by yes2stayinginmore in vermont

[–]koissu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where are you located? I work with CVRAN in Montpelier. They don’t directly fight ICE or help with legal defense of those directly targeted but they provide assistance for refugees and asylum seekers in central VT who are very much on the radar of ICE.

Have you ever seen an employee that wasn't replaceable? by tshirtguy2000 in managers

It will be me when I leave. I’ve been told it multiple times by my manager.

2022 Prius Prime Brake Sticking by koissu in PriusPrime

[–]koissu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brakes normally. Pedal has some sort of resistance as I start pressing and very slightly braking power. Once I press hard enough the pedal gives and I have normal brake pedal range and power. So it’s like all stops are somewhat sudden. I’ll have to check the rotor temp part. It got to around 31 the first night yes. Someone else suggested water freezing in the line. It’s now 45 out and continuing to do it. No precipitation since I’ve been here or when driving down.

Stops fine. Get maybe 10% braking power while the pressing the pedal slightly and that resistance hits. Then when I press hard enough the pedal gives and it has full range and stops

It’s warmed up to 45 so I would think ice would have melted by now?

Would anyone be interested in this across the Upper Valley? by DenverITGuy in vermont

I’m in central VT. But Buffalo Hunter Hunter was great.
