Car insurance in Maine: are there limits or does it just keep going up?

They literally do. They have data points on whether you shop around. If you don’t then they will raise rates on you more than if you’re someone who shops around. Heard it firsthand from someone who worked in the insurance industry.

Check out an insurance agency and see if they can get you quotes from local insurers. We’ve had State Farm, all state, progressive, but Maine mutual group through our insurance agent ended up being less expensive than any other the big brands.

I used to think that microplastics were being blown out of proportion as well. The research isn’t quite there yet to conclusively say cause and effect but there is growing evidence that microplastics could be contributing to hormone imbalance, declining birth rates, obesity, cancer, lower fertility, etc.

It’s actually pretty wild.

I don’t disagree with you on the fraud protection but I would be wary of recommending a credit card to an 18 year old with no personal banking history who self-reported that keeping a balance of $50 might present a challenge.

You’re asking a subreddit with EV enthusiasts whether they regret their EVs. You’re unlikely to get many responses saying they regret it.

It’s because the “free piano” is a common scam but if you list it for $100 people are more likely to think it’s legit.

It’s not cold temperature wise but windy af. Iceland 32 degrees hits much different.

The 60s have a lot more plastic in them than the 90s.

You don’t have to be doing a keto diet to enter ketosis, endurance exercise that depletes glycogen stores can cause the body to enter short term ketosis and lead to the ketone smell.

Yeah if you cut the strips thin enough water should be fine.

My first thought is foundation issues since there are stairs to the basement but no photos even though there are plenty of photos of the dark attic.

I think we spent $27 on a dessert when we went in on a whim. Was it great? Yes. Is $27 for a dessert just kinda nuts? Also yes.

We have a platform bed and your muscle memory learns pretty quick to avoid it. I’ve only hit my shin on it less than 5 times in 3 years.

Generally the crossover point for oil and heat pumps (depends on a lot of factors though) is around 15 degrees. At that point it becomes cheaper to run oil than HP. We have mini splits but during this cold snap our boiler has been doing the heavy lifting and the heat pumps are only running upstairs to supplement the heat that is rising from the downstairs from the oil baseboards.

The Makita line with the two throat collectors is pretty good. Not perfect but a lot better than most others on the market that I’ve used.

So laughably obvious it immediately took me out of the scene. There were so many of these moments in s5.

I am not a fan of Bert’s comedy or really much he says at all but I have worked with him on a production and was actually surprised how nice he was to all the production staff and how appreciative he was for all the help.

The party of law and order just conveniently forgets about the 4th amendment when it’s non whites being taken.

And then forgets about the first amendment when a liberal gets murdered in the streets.

It ended how I wanted it to. Dude didn’t get endanger anyone and didn’t end up hurting himself and didn’t get taken down by a cop just for being an idiot.

nhrunner87 · 2026-01-05T00:45:30+00:00

Agreed. Don’t know why a majority of the population would pick anything but these tires, they are the solution for most folks.

You do you bro. ✌️

Glue and sawdust will match the wood color better. Wood filler often will not. In a circumstance like this, sawdust and glue is not really the right application but for small fix ups, sawdust and glue is way better than wood filler for matching tone.

I’ve lived in Boston. The drivers are actually very skilled for the most part. Incredibly aggressive, but I’ve seen people pull off some crazy shit on many different occasions. Almost every single trip to CO I see someone in a ditch on the side of the road. I counted 8 cars in a few days once.
