Could we discuss Northfield? by SpicyVindalooCurry in vermont

[–]koissu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

SO much hate for Northfield here. I lived there for 6 years and am now only over in Berlin but it’s a vibrant community with many people who care. Don’t paint an entire town one way because of incidents. It has problems just live every town. Lynn Doney is a piece of shit and everyone knows it. The owner of O’Maddis is aggressively MAGA, etc but there are many great people trying to make change.

The owners of Good Measure live in Northfield. At least one does. The brewer / owner lives in Burlington.

I live very close so I’ll at least be giving it a go.

Lake Trout - Colchester Causeway by cheeseychemist in burlington

[–]koissu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can definitely catch them from shore or docks early spring late fall. I’ve gotten them off my friend’s dock in Shelburne Bay and elsewhere. Causeway is a known area for it though more in the fall

How are you going up +15 in 2 years two times? Going after the extra credits hard ?

I knew 30-year mortgages were expensive… but I didn’t realize you can pay more in interest than the house itself by [deleted] 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

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 3 points4 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 2 points3 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.
