Does this affect us?

Eversource serves NH, MA, and CT, and their warning is that there may not be enough natural gas to provide for their electric grids, not that there will necessarily be a shortage of gas to heat homes.

I don't know that our natural gas comes from the same source (we get ours from Canada) as Eversource, nor is it apparent that our VELCO electric grid is as dependent on natural gas as it is Hydro QC, unlike Eversource that leans on NG for over 1/3 their needs.

You mean the same one-party system in Georgia that purged voter rolls illegally of active voters, shut down as many polling places in populated areas as possible, and even made it illegal to bring water to those poor folks stuck a mile-long line in hot temps all day?

That sure seems democratic to me.

Maybe this will finally be the biennium that the legislature can get past Coca-Cola's lobbying/astroturfing and passes a consistent bottle bill for all drinks sold in aluminum or plastic containers like water and iced teas and wine bottles.

I've personally felt unwelcome at esox and Jp's from some of the bros there, and the Spanked Puppy had a couple regulars at the bar keeping a regular eye on us the only time I walked in. And none of those were over any sort of pda or anything except a bunch of effeminate guys at a table chilling.

I was excited as hell when they opened up their Essex location. We had to go back twice after to make sure it wasn't the chef having a bad day. The chips, as OP noticed, have a horrible consistency and get inedibly greasier as they sat out. Everything was overseasoned and weren't very tasty.

The positives were that their 8-10 salsas were hotter than what you could find anywhere around at the time, and their spicy margs were amazing with mezcal.
