This is my current favorite designation.

Verizon 5G, $35/month for the 300 mbps / 20 up plan (my needs are not huge, this does the TV streaming and the zoom meetings just fine).

Somerville MA. Was previously paying 3x that for crappy Astound service at half the speed.

Heh. You are welcome. This is how I found out too–a random discussion.

There’s a company near me that is piloting a mobile charging service. https://www.sparkcharge.io/

When the charges on our thru-way all failed over Memorial Day weekend, they provided the emergency service. I heard they were also in talks with AAA to be something that a tow truck could carry, or some emergency service vehicle.

Solutions exist. Just not yet at scale.

My EV came with a compressor in the trunk. Last time I needed to fill the tires it worked fine.

I didn’t even realize this until one day on the Nissan Leaf discussion boards, which led to a hilarious discussion of a whole bunch of us who had no idea we were carrying our own solution to this…

This whole spectacle is atrocious, but it’s part of a series of atrocious nonsense. Worse streaming series evah.

TIL that the moderation logs are public. That was kind of surprise to look through.

Do your fucking job, pharmacist. Or GTFO.

thank you–I have no idea how to add emojis here, but I’d give you the applause one if I could…

This is why I encouraging comments… I managed to drop kbin into mine :)

Agree–I’m seeing a lot of what I called ‘quiet quitting’ lately. The regulars are posting a lot less, or not at all. I’m not ready to burn-it-all-down, because I want to be able to lure people over later when this is a bit more mature. But it already feels different there.

Reddit is becoming an unusable garbage site.

'Tis.

I know. But I’m the one that has to call all over the place to try to book a room. It’s so depressing.

I will say, though, that I have seen an interesting attempt locally to do this better. It doesn’t meet my needs for location and features, but it is a nice effort.

This has been a real problem around me, and it was getting worse before the pandemic. I have barely tried since, but as we are getting back to in-person events it will keep taunting me. I’m in the Boston MA USA area.

We have some spaces, like library rooms. But they often have constraints. One was that you had to be a tax-ID non-profit. It turns out we are for one of the groups I organize, but not all of them. So many of the more informal types are out of luck.

If you did qualify for the library room and get approved, you can’t have food. Or you can–but you have to use the library catering. This was like $200 for a dozen brownies.

And also: if you do make the cut, you cannot use it for regular meetings. So people can’t get used to going to the library on the third Thursday…or whatever.

There was a time when you could get a restaurant room, if you would spend some amount of money. But my groups have been full of people who don’t spend like that, or don’t drink like a sportsball crowd. So they start saying that you can’t take up that space anymore. And I get that–running a restaurant is hard and margins are thin. I don’t blame them. But we also don’t want to force people to buy an $8 beer.

There are some “community rooms” around. It’s very hard to figure out who has them, how to use them, and schedule them. And someone has to show up with the key. This failed for our neighborhood group several times.

I don’t know how to solve this in a place where real estate is high and there just aren’t rooms sitting around. I also think liability and cleaning weigh on this.

I don’t know how to solve this.

Maybe a Roman coin hoard?

Oh, I was wondering how to report issues. Thanks for that.

But my visibility task is a much lower priority than the one OP describes. They have a lot of stuff going on, and I can wait.

[realizing I want some kind of bookmark feature for this…]

I put alt text in my kbin uploads, but then I couldn’t find it later.

I would also like to be able to preview my image as I’m writing the description. I have to keep looking back at my stored one to try to do it well, and I’m failing.
