Food pantry in my town will deliver to those who need but don’t feel comfortable going.

I didn’t know that Mr. Bagel was so deep.

Paychecks are gonna be late, bagel makers. But try not to get angry. Be an observer of the emotions, feel and release them.

Bagel and Zen Buddhism to go.

If you want the FCC to pay attention to your complaints, you would have to get at least a few hundred, maybe 1000 people, to submit the same or similar issues. The FCC probably gets thousands of random complaints a day/week. They're not going to take action until it is affecting more than just one or a handful of people. It would be impossible to thoroughly follow up on every complaint they receive.

Why is that?

Someday I need to visit the Netherlands. Spectacular engineering!

My spectrum went from 50 to 89.99 a month. Fidium is 37. Much better connection too

> their speeds are consistently high

Their download speeds are OK. Their upload speeds are shit.

I'm on their fastest available residential plan and the upload maxes out at 10mbps (usually it's far slower). This isn't fast enough for some of the work I do (large video files that must be backed up to the cloud) so I looked into their business tier — the fastest tier of that is still only a max of 35 Mbps up.

I recognize it's cable internet and not fiber, but for that to be the fastest business plan in 2023 is pathetic. Cable companies elsewhere sometimes have 50+ Mbps up even for residential connections.

Can't wait for fidium to come to my area, I will drop spectrum instantly.

I got a completely new way to do roads. It involves no roads.

When I had Spectrum, I used Trim and they got my monthly plan down to $50. They do take 15% of what they save you up front but I don't mind paying them to deal with Spectrum vs. me having to deal with Spectrum.

I do find it odd that you have a population people that have been negatively impacted by the opioid crisis, but there seems to be little to no sympathy for them. Yet, you see plenty of sympathy towards other groups of people.

> OK, so this solves what problem? Where is there a bridge too low for sailboats?

I mean, there's plenty of them, but so what?

You can try for fiber, but that's about it. You can also try contacting the Maine Broadband Coalition to see if they can provide insight

Not to lower expectations, but I have 4 FCC complaints against Spectrum, and nothing has been done

Considering the fact we can't manage to keep asphalt on our regular surface roads, I'm not sure that we're in a position to start building complicated structures that are only needed for sailboats.

As with most cool roadway things, the Netherlands https://interestingengineering.com/culture/the-netherlands-unique-water-bridge

The only person here who sees the real benefit here

OK, so this solves what problem? Where is there a bridge too low for sailboats? Chances are this would be wayyyy too costly for any waterway that accommodates barges or cruise ships.

Spectrum has been out of hand the whole time. What you describe is, legit, their business model.

A nice catch-all for historic maps and other resources related to a specific place in Maine can be found at mainegenealogy.net. You can search for a town and then browse through historic maps, old newspaper archives, bibliographies, etc.

Not a great value for your dollar anyways. Cheap plastic shit, small volume consumables. They make communities poorer.

Where about a in Maine are you? In downtown Bangor there’s the Queen City Cinema Club, sounds like a place you’d enjoy. Board games, movies, video games, and nice nerdy people. I’m in my mid 20s and I agree, the social scene for our age group, especially if you’re introverted, is very challenging. I asked around about community spaces and a lot of people recommended church..

It's a no for me, dog
