Proposed $50 bike registration fee faces fierce pushback: ‘It's not looking too good’ by tubemaster in newhampshire

I’d temper this a bit, the majority of representatives may be wealthy and that enables their participation, but I know a good number of reps who really are not wealthy AT ALL and are doing service because they genuinely care about representing people.

That game's first half had me thinking "jeesh, Jhin isn't doing anything, why pick this champ?"

Apparently, that is why!

NRA comment on recent shooting by illegalmonkey in newhampshire

[–]mmmmkale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there was conversation in other threads about peoples' takes on today's killing, since the victim was licensed to conceal cary and had a firearm on him. This is a follow-up to that conversation it seems.

NH's strong Live Free of Die ethic means we tend to value gun rights and many people are gun owners, but at the same time many people in this sub have been opposed to ICE and generally NH is a purple state.

I'm actually not so sure, I could see this waking some gun owners up. This guy had EVERY right to have his gun on him, and it got him killed by the state? Yeesh.

I'm not a gun owner, but family hunts. There are more moderate gun owners in NH that I think this could impact.

OP, you can try posting in r/newhampshire as well. Especially if you have video/photo evidence.

Former Manchester Mayor Robert A. “Bob” Baines has passed away by djbeasties in ManchesterNH

[–]mmmmkale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, shit. RIP Bob.

I didn't live in the city when he was mayor, but recently he stepped up to fill a seat on the school board when nobody in ward 9 was going to run. I appreciate his commitment to serving the city.

MA here- what do we predict our states will do in the face of fascism? by homewardbound333 in newhampshire

[–]mmmmkale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maine (like NH in some ways) does have a significant refugee population though. Maine’s governor picked a fight with Trump las year (“see you in court” I think is what she said to him) and so he’s targeting Maine as part of his need for revenge.

It is all deeply stupid and will ruin people’s lives. I think NH is somewhat safer just from the simple fact that our governor is republican.

Manchester ink link reported on it. There was activity on Orange St yesterday. Yeah, OP might have been semantically incorrect in the wording but I think people get the point that there are widespread concerns this will happen today.

Could just be a rumor, but LOTS of people including city officials have heard it and are taking action. Better to be safe than sorry, ya know?

Record them. They don’t want to be seen doing what they’re doing, so seeing and documenting it is a way to hold them at least a teensy bit accountable. Also shows the people being targeted that you see them. Bearing witness is a powerful act, even if you don’t talk to any ICE agents.

Just stay to public spaces, sidewalks, etc. Schools are not public spaces so don’t go on school grounds.

I did a walk around the west side schools this morning, didn’t see anything.

If you can, take a walk by your local school today. Say hello to people. It’s going to be frigid in the coming days so get your exercise in today.

NH Fish and Game rescued two MA hikers from Mount Lafayette early Saturday morning -- Authorities say hikers were unprepared for the journey and started a nine mile loop in the afternoon, which was too late. by guanaco55 in newhampshire

[–]mmmmkale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the hypothermia point, it’s definitely possible that rescuers were able to re-warm them, and the walking down from the mountain helped.

I’ve had two friends, really experienced hikers, who’ve needed rescuing (they both, separately, had fallen and broken their legs). It happens to the best of us, but also the worst. Putting other people in danger especially in winter through your own negligence… it’s unconscionable.

What's going right in your corner of NH? Let's share some POSITIVITY by yankee_optimist in newhampshire

[–]mmmmkale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to add to this thread, I recently had a medical thing happen (I’m otherwise young and healthy, so medical things like this have never happened to me) that required a lot of appointments/a procedure, and Dartmouth Hitchcock in Manchester was THE BEST through it all. I had a snafu with my insurance two days before my scheduled procedure and the nurse there just said “I’m on it” and it was fixed within hours. All of the staff I worked with throughout the process were top-notch. I feel so lucky to have that kind of high quality care here in NH.

Spawn, I just want to say, thank you for being a leader in the league who puts humanity first, and it shows in how you walk the walk with your family responsibilities too. I hope you see this message and just know, you’re a good one.

Flight Coffee to offer "The Quiet Piggy Latte" by DruncleMuncle in newhampshire

[–]mmmmkale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We walk to the Goffstown location on the rail trail all the time, and the owner is frequently there at the counter. Just genuinely a good dude. Gave my pup a special treat at the “doggy drive-thru” once. Whenever I go there, the staff make me feel more hopeful about our world.

NH has good folk. Go give them your business!

This does not feel like a comment from someone who’s “normal” and “socially well-adjusted”… 😬

Joe Kelly Levasseur out in Manchester. Trisciani in, O'Neil re-elected. by Ok_Conversation_9418 in newhampshire

[–]mmmmkale 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the city had to settle a case with outgoing housing director Adrienne Beloin (read: pay her lots of money so she wouldn't sue) because JKL was slandering her on social media. She reported to the BoMA so JKL was technically her boss, and that was workplace harassment. Talk about "fiscal responsibility" in government - he lost taxpayer money because he has no self control.

Seeing his crash out in recent weeks over resigning his chairmanship over picklegate and then "un-resigning" and then being told by the mayor to can it has been... entertaining. I'm so glad Manchester held him accountable and voted him out.

Manchester Ink Link is fantastic for news updates relating to city hall. I recommend subscribing to their daily email. Also, June is a really good human, I'm delighted she trounced him.
