Enjoy, I guess? I'm sure I'll partake once it's here but I'm no big fan of theirs to begin with and they seem to be taking their sweet time with it.

That's not what we're talking about. Rather, the practice of these companies to raise the rates just a little so that people just kind of accept it rather than dispute it. Multiply that by thousands or millions of subscribers, and you're inflating your profit quite nicely.

I was just telling my partner if I could open a restaurant on the hill it would be ramen... Great minds think alike or something. I know where I'll be going on rainy days.

Wait... Ramen spot?
For anyone else reading this, their description of the block party isn't hyperbole. That's exactly what it was. Maybe less tables.

Idk if it's taxes, but my guess would be funding has run out or slowed. They've tried to host one or two "block parties" that were pretty unimpressive. I don't think the locals on the hill care about trapezium that much.

Yup. I read a piece on this somewhat recently. It's not just Xfinity. It's pretty much any cable/internet provider. They really need to make internet a public utility.

Yes, I have argued for more cops to actually walk a beat. What they currently do is not what I would call patrolling. What's your point?
As they currently are, they're useless.

You say that to me as if I've ever argued for that that. I haven't. It's a nice strawman, though.
Do you know what I am in favor of for our city? Cops back on actual beats. They're being paid by our taxes to do a job. Arguably, right now they aren't doing that job. Traffic offenses left and right, pedestrians getting hit, a pervert creeper going around shouting he's the one doing it but police can't seem to apprehend, muggings in places that were previously safe...
Police, as they currently are by their design, are worthless. Cops sitting in cars at the back of lots waiting for calls (when the crime has already happened) do nothing to prevent crime by way of presence.

The rest of the citizens aren't police paid to "protect" or "serve". They have no constitutional duty to actually do their jobs so why have them at all.
Police do not prevent crime.

Idk why you're downvoted. Cops are worthless. They show up after the fact. They're a clean up crew for crime

Absolutely agree. That's the problem with "responsible" gun owners, a lot aren't actually as responsible as they think they are; they "grew up with guns" or sat through a hunting certification course without actually retaining anything.

Even if it's at home in your garage, a gun left in a vehicle is asking for problems. A gun should be like eyeglasses; they're either on your person or secured in their case (I know, people aren't this careful with glasses either, but they should)

I visit various boonies throughout the state, and it hasn't been an issue. For the savings you can potentially get, it's worth a shot.

>In 2020 and 2021, the Department completed a series of rulemakings to update its regulations to protect tipped workers. These rulemakings addressed 2018 legislative amendments to section 3(m) and other sections of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to expressly prohibit employers, including managers and supervisors, from keeping employees’ tips.
There's that for starters. And this:
>an employer cannot keep employees’ tips under any circumstances; managers and supervisors also may not keep tips received by employees, including through tip pools;
Do you have a source you'd like to cite for your bullshit?

Wrong! A tip, no matter your base wage, is a transaction between the tipper and the individual receiving the tip.

That's awful to hear. Typically, in these scenarios it's anyone's guess as to what the truth is. In this case though, it seems to be commonplace for this business to not plan ahead appropriately.
