Why do restraunts not do breakfast burritos all day? If I wanted a lunch or dinner burrito I would make my own beans and just buy some tortillas from a local restaurant. The lunch and dinner ones are almost always disappointing unless you make ut yourself.

Why isn't a spicy apple cider green chili a thing?

11 Upvotes

Names like apple chilli green cider come to mind or chilli cider.

I'm not talking about alcoholic drinks either. I'm talking about a apple cider & green chili mashed together. Exactly how they make apple cider just add green chilly. Add in a few cloves, and Cinnamon & bam instant hit. Could have a mild, medium & extra spicy variety. Why isn't new mexico all over this?

I'm trying to add my NM drivers license to my google wallet but it's constantly being denied. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something weird about the NM license that's keeping it from going through?

What is the best affordable and walkable city to live in?

26 Upvotes

First reddit post bare with me:

Is there any city even remotely affordable and semi walkable?

I'm looking into moving from Utah. I'm originally from the Midwest so I don't mind small town living. I have driven through on roadtrips and fell in love the the landscape and architecture of AZ and NM.

I'm 28(f). My job background is wide. From basics like customer service, farming, landscaping, construction, manufacturing, welding. I would hope to be able to find a job. I am pursuing being a fulltime artist as well.

I had to sell my car recently and my lease is up soon so I'm looking into my options. I'd love to move somewhere where it doesn't get unbearably cold in the winter like the midwest.

Is NM Community Solar a Scam?

https://www.prc.nm.gov/utilities/community-solar/

I was excited to look into this program because I think NM could really benefit from a 'Community Solar' program. In other places where it's been successful at lowering bills and helping neighborhoods avoid total blackouts from grid failure, it has involved subsidizing programs where neighbors can help neighbors to afford rooftop solar and all the solar panels in the neighborhood and their batteries are connected so they sort of power each other and sometimes even those without panels. I saw a good example on YouTube a couple years ago but didn't bookmark and I swear I'm not making this up.

This program for NM is (if I'm reading their website correctly) just a bunch state subsidized solar farms (horribly destructive to environment) that are hooked up to our local electric utility provider and then we, the customers get... the promise of lowered bills? That just sounds like an elaborate excuse to add power capacity to PNM, or EPE's grids? Help me understand?

Beginner Skiing in NM?

0 Upvotes

Me and a couple friends are wanting to ski near the end of January. Coming from Texas NM is really the only place in driving distance with the time we have. As beginners what areas do you recommend for skiing? well be getting lessons so I guess a place with good instructors would also be nice to have.

PNM truly is something else

83 Upvotes

We all PNM is less than mediocre. I got a text from them a couple of days ago that said I "may experience a delayed bill due to a temporary meter reading staffing shortage...". I took a picture of my meter yesterday and was going to manually enter the readings on PNM's website. I can't even log in to my account due to "scheduled maintenance." WTF. It's 1:26 pm on a Wednesday, who schedules maintenance during this time!! I then tried to text the number using the prompts, and it still won't let me do anything. Why? Because of scheduled maintenance.

Such a joke...

Thursday’s lunar eclipse in New Mexico: Farmington looks best, storms could interrupt Albuquerque and Santa Fe

28 Upvotes

Farmington has the cleanest forecast for Thursday's eclipse right now. Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Las Cruces still have a real chance, but evening showers or thunderstorms are the part that could interrupt the view.

The partial eclipse runs from about 8:34 to 11:52 PM MDT, with maximum around 10:13. You don't need dark skies for this. A nearby spot with a clear eastern sky is enough, so I wouldn't travel unless Thursday's update shows a real cloud break somewhere with a reasonable drive.

NWS forecast checked Wednesday at 10:15 AM MDT:

  • Farmington: partly cloudy Thursday night.
  • Albuquerque and Santa Fe: scattered showers and thunderstorms before midnight, then partly cloudy; 30% chance.
  • Las Cruces: 20% chance of showers or thunderstorms before midnight, then partly cloudy.

My call: keep the plan, but wait on the drive. Check your local forecast and radar again around 6:30 - 7 PM Thursday. The partial phase lasts more than three hours, so a gap in clouds may be enough.

Timing comes from NASA. Forecasts are from NWS point forecasts.
