Re: Emails and grammar
Who knows German here? Gotta ship a package and the address has a "ß" in it and I know that's gonna trip up the rubes at the post office. Can i use "ss" instead? (Straße is the word of course) According to the following, Strasse or Road would be fine: https://dictionary.cambridg...

Re: World Cup 2022 - Qatar
I was in Minneapolis for work one winter about 15 years ago. Mrs. Sabo even tagged along for the weekend. We had a great time, even though the high temperature for the entire weekend was something like 5 degrees. The national pond hockey championships were going on that weekend, and we had a blast w...

Re: New England Fall Foliage
I was in Bennington, Vermont for work during the 2005 fall foliage season. Unfortunately for them, they had the worst foliage season in 50 years that year. But Bennington is a decent little town with some things to do. There's Bennington Battle Memorial, which is a monument to the Battle of Benningt...

Re: The I need to buy a house thread
Sabo, how likely are there to be new settlement cracks in a 95-year-old house? We've had a couple cracks in our walls develop in the last year. The cracks are generally vertical, but they are new and appear to be expanding. (FWIW, we had an earthquake two years ago that wasn't strong enough to knoc...

Re: The I need to buy a house thread
I'll second Sabo that it's crazy to skip an inspection. I've heard a lot of sales in town were going through without inspections, and it's just madness. That's mostly because the housing market is so nuts right now. Houses are in such high demand that sellers will almost instantly take any offer th...

Re: The I need to buy a house thread
The inspection process is necessary, but shitty for so many reasons. I feel for inspectors because they can't see warning signs of so many potential problems. Wiring and plumbing are behind the walls, issues that cause flooding are usually buried underground, yet people try to blame inspectors for ...

In a town of 1200, I'd say everyone should know who the cops are at this point. Majority of arrests are non-residents passing through on their 1.5 mile stretch of interstate. And they get pulled over for total bullshit....like driving in the left lane of the interstate. There's one story about a wo...
