Beginner Tennis Players?

Hey all,

Traveling to Rutland this weekend to visit family and am wondering if there is anyone around who is interested in playing some tennis.

I'm more of a beginner, can volley fairly well and effectively serve (but with little power or finesse 😅)

Looking for Saturday or Sunday morning. DM me if interested (or if there are court recommendations, ideally with a wall to hit against)

Thanks!

Hi Rutland! Can you help with research?

I’m part of a University of Cambridge research project, and we’re studying how the internet is regulated—who decides what you see online and how much control you should have. Right now, we dont have any participants from Vermont. We really want to hear from all of the States. It’s really important to get some local voices included in this global study!

We just need 6 minutes of your time, and its completely anonymous. Your input could help shape future internet policies that impact us all.

Thanks so much for considering this and helping to make sure Vermont is represented!

Amtrak station to parent's home

In a couple of weeks I will arrive in Rutland around 8:45PM (only one train as everyone probably knows). I want to get to East Wallingford. Anyone know if there will be Uber drivers or taxis around that time?

Local history of Rutland

Hello everyone!

I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local Vermont family lineages and stories through historical records.

Family History Interest Form

This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their Vermont family history. I create family trees, historical road trip itineraries, ancestral maps, etc! It’s a super cool way to connect with your own history and great knowledge pass down to future generations.

Here are some things you can discover from my research:

  • Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)
  • Your great-great-great grandparents’ names
  • Physical descriptions of your ancestors from census records and war draft cards
  • Six full generations back of your family tree
  • Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions)

If you are interested, please view the interest form with some examples. 🙂Professional Instagram w/ reviews: heritage.hunters

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message!

Paid Research Interview for Vermont Residents – 40$

Hello! Researchers at the University of Ottawa would like to conduct 90-minute telephone interviews with anyone who has used mifepristone (also known as the abortion pill, medication abortion, or medical abortion) to end a pregnancy.

You are eligible if you:

- Used mifepristone to have an abortion on or after January 1, 2015

- Were living in Vermont at the time

- Are sufficiently fluent in English or French to answer interview questions

- Have access to a telephone, Skype, or Zoom

During the interview, we will ask you series of questions about your background, your reproductive health history, and the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy. We will also ask you to tell us about your experience obtaining an abortion with pills and we will ask you to tell us about ways in which you think that services could be improved.

All participants will receive a $40 gift certificate to www.amazon.com. Participation is both voluntary and confidential. Spots for this study are filled on a first come, first served basis.

Please note that the abortion pill is not the same thing as emergency contraception, also known as Plan B or "the morning after pill."

If you would like more information about the study or research team, or if you are interested in participating, please contact us at ws-stu02@uottawa.ca. You may also contact the Principal Investigator, Dr. Angel M. Foster, at angel.foster@uottawa.ca.

moving to Rutvegas?

Hi folks--long time chittenden county resident. Looking to buy a home and thinking about relocating to Rutland. We've visited before and like the downtown area, restaurants/breweries and have enjoyed bomoseen and other nearby places. We have a young child and might have another. Does anyone have any advice or perspective to share about living in Rutland for a young family? I like that it seems more walkable than where I currently live, and the real estate market is much more affordable. Thanks in advance

Pole dancing/ AeriAl arts

Any pole dancers or aerial artist in the Rutland area? We are moving up in just a couple weeks and my partner is super sad about leaving her studio community here. Hoping to find her a studio within an hours drive and/or some fellow performers to connect with. I heard there had been a studio in Rutland but it shut down during the pandemic.....

Uber in Rutland/Killington?

The only info I could find was from 2017. I’ve heard that most or all Uber drivers switched to food delivery. Specifically does anyone know if Killington still partners with Uber during season if someone wanted to take up driving?

Renting in or around Rutland

My partner just accepted a job in Rutland and we are now planning on relocating there from Asheville, Nc in September. I am having an insanely difficult time finding any rentals in the area. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on finding housing in the area from afar?

hi rutland! question about the amtrak station

hi guys!

beautiful state :)

so im going to a bachelorette in hartland, vt. but i dont have a car and im trying to figure out the best route (i'll be with another friend, not alone).

i was thinking we could take the amtrak to rutland and then take a ride share to the cabin in hartland.

but then it dawned on me...we wouldnt get into rutland until around 11:30pm on friday night. does anyone know if there would be ride shares like uber or lyft available at those hours and willing to drive us all the way to hartland? i live in nyc, so here it'd be a definite yes but i'm not as sure what it is like up in vermont.

any advice would be great! thank you.

Anyone else doing Doordash/UberEats/Instacart/whatever else in Rutland? Share your experiences...

I've mostly been doing Doordash. For a while it looked like UberEats was completely dead here. I tried to redeem a $30 off promo they sent me as a new customer at least a dozen times and I never got a thing. Even after I managed to jump through all the hoops and sign up as a driver, even when I was logged in and active as a driver I still got "we couldn't find a driver".

Last week though, I logged back in on a lark and immediately got an order. I was so flabbergasted I accepted the order without meaning to. I didn't understand about "pin required" orders so that was a hassle but I got through it.

Then I managed to actually redeem another promo they sent me, it looked at first like it would end up like all the other attempts, but around the 50 minute mark they finally found a driver. Not me, even though I was logged in as a driver again, though they did offer me another delivery while I was waiting.

Then yesterday while I was doing Doordash I had another one come in that I couldn't take, so that makes a grand total of three. It's a shame, it looks like they pay better than Doordash...

Rutland City Schools are building a surveillance database by matching IP addresses to MAC addresses

For those with an interest in privacy, please note the Rutland City school board meeting from 4/13 (had date wrong) contains testimony from administration on how they are tracking "zoom bombing" incidents. It sounds like they are matching IPs to device MAC addresses by monitoring when suspect students log on, then backtracking to when and from what IP suspect students logged in previously. Youtube transcript with timestamps is below.

ere able to

41:24track ip addresses and so we got a list

41:28of all of the students in

41:29all of the impacted classes and we were

41:32able to make some connections between

41:34um there's a public ip address which is

41:37the internet source that you're using

41:38and there's a private i p address which

41:40is the device that you're using it on

41:43so we were able to find some correlation

41:45between classes which let us know that

41:47it was

41:49you know there was one student that was

41:50impacting several different classes on

41:52different houses

41:53and from there we've spent a lot of time

41:56trying to

41:56uh determine who owns that that local ip

42:00address

42:01at this point we haven't had any success

42:03but we are continuing to monitor

42:05students as they sign in so that we can

42:06try to

42:08narrow down our search based on based on

42:10ip addresses

42:12we don't want to tell you a whole lot

42:13because we are still in the throes of of

42:16that investigation so um obviously this

42:19is public meeting so

42:21um and how was it addressed with the

42:24kids that were harmed

42:25by the i mean as i said so what we've

42:29done

42:30is we have been training our staff to

42:33work with those students we've talked to

42:34the students

42:35we've done some circles with the

42:36students as far as reparation goes

42:39um you know who was harmed there were a

42:42lot of people harmed right because

42:44a lot of classrooms were impacted by it

42:46so

42:47really just talking and um

42:50you know kind of being there for

42:51particularly you know as i said before

42:53are students of color who

42:54are much more impacted by it than the

42:57other students um

42:58and you know it's it's it's it's a very

43:01delicate delicate situation because

43:03you have kids whose name was there as

43:06though they were

43:08saying those racial slurs and it wasn't

43:11them

43:11and so they felt incredibly guilty and

43:15you know didn't really know what to do

43:16because you know we

43:18we learned quickly that it wasn't them

43:20so um
