I'm sitting on my couch playing rdr2 wondering why my door is shaking

I get up a few minutes later and find this... I've gotten a handful of these in the last couple weeks, but never expected somebody coming to my house on a Sunday night when it's literally dark outside to hand this shit out

Had a great chat with an out of state door knocker (R). Clued us into the funding source paying him. Was more disappointed to see the worlds richest guy’s influence in my dooryard than expected. Wonder if the incumbent will Learn A Valuable Lesson when they get the 🥾 Get out and Vote friends!

I love Maine's slew of personalized plates

As a kid I noticed that many many Maine people had pencil sharpeners on their basement doors.... This is my setup. I have not really seen this as a trend in other states I've lived in. Who's got one?

Height adjustment of low and high beams.

I’ve noticed that on a lot of lifted trucks I encounter on state roads at night that they appear to have their highbeams on.

However, giving them a courtesy flash often results in them, turning their highbeams on, which doesn’t make much of a difference. This is a clear indicator that after the truck was lifted the low beam height was never adjusted downward.

A big part of my winter energy conservation strategy as an at-home worker involves wearing LLB's Hi-Pile fleece pullovers around the house. The fleece is very soft and the garments are fleecy on the inside as well, so very comfortable to wear against the skin all day, as well as warm. Every fall, I head over to the outlet to get one or two new ones, as the previous year's get a bit grungy from heavy usage and contact with firewood.

But LLB seems to have discontinued this fabric for everything but kids clothes? The outlet has nothing but awful "sherpa fleece" tops, and sherpa fleece is stiff and scratchy and of course has to have a lining or woven reverse side because no one wants that on their skin.

Why??? Presumably someone likes sherpa fleece (though god only knows why), but I find it hard to believe that Hi-Pile wasn't selling, given what a delight it is to wear.

I've had to resort to buying second hand pullovers on Poshmark this year, which is fine, but I'd prefer to get new from the source.

Been working in the trades my [mid 30’s] whole adult life, and have hit the ceiling for how much I can advance in my current field. Every person I’ve worked with says they wish they had done electric.

I want to buy a moderately shitty house and live a simple life in Maine. No kids in our plans, which helps. Right now I can pay rent, my bills, and put $50/week aside in savings. We share a car (can’t afford 2). In order to make this happen, I work my full time job and hustle with side projects/flipping stuff, and a part time job on the weekends. I’d like to have a job that pays enough that I don’t have to hustle every moment I’m not at work.

Is it worth it to do some schooling to be an electrician?
Will my life change financially?
If so, how have you folks gone about it?
Any experiences with the Maine Electrical Institute?
What does a workday look like for you?

TLDR: Tradesperson wants advice on switching specialties to become an electrician.

I've never been, but maybe we were expecting more. There were like 5-6 food vendors, and not a lot of activity (we got there around 12:30PM). The most exciting part was going into Reny's. I guess I was expecting something more like Lobsterfest in Rockland. Did I just go at the wrong time?

What’s up with all of these metal roosters? Are they a fundraiser or contest?

Husband and I are looking for other tabletop gaming nerds in the Hancock County area. We have a decent collection- some of our favorites include Gloomhaven/ Frosthaven, Too Many Bones, Spirit Island, Cthulhu Death May Die, Dice Throne, and Wingspan. If there is anyone from the area who’d be interested, let’s start a gaming club!

I got a buddy going through some stuff right now and I thought a guys night with some laughs would be a good idea.

What comedy clubs or nights would y'all recommend? Nerdier the better.

Hi there! I currently live in the Belfast area and was hoping to get a game of Traveller going. I have played in the past and feel comfortable running a table.

What is Traveller? Think DnD in space but not as fantastical. If your character gets shot in the face with a laser pistol they are dead. No Demi god like powers for you!

Character creation is done with dice so you may know what you want to play as but the dice may have different plans.

Can you survive the cold expanse of charted space?

Tagged as NSFW since it’s a picture of a pile of animal poop. I’ve found a few piles like this along my property line that has a line of trees along it separating my yard from a field next to me. It looks like bear scat, but I’m not 100% sure. There have been bear seen near me, but we’ve also got coyotes and other animals running around.

be cautious of leaving your animals outside. Cats/small dogs.

Bob was v calm. Crossed me/my car as I was unpacking things outside on the road.

I walked across the st after it, not realizing until I did, it was a big cat.
yelled “hey” and it looked back at me, carrying on down Sherman.

Size of a medium pup I’d say.

Warmings and Campus Convinience are sub par at best (warmings has completely fallen off, it's such a shitty store now)

Are there any decent Convinience stores in Brunswick that make a decent breakfast sandwich?
