American racing culture is ovals. Sure IndyCar and IMSA exist but they don’t command anywhere close to the numbers that NASCAR does.

You really should stop complaining. We’re lucky enough to have 2 that are half decent.

When I lived in a town with a Radio Shack, their number one same day returned item was antennas. Between trees, hills, buildings, and other obstacles it was nearly impossible to get a station.

Antennas aren't magic. If you're looking for local stations get a fire stick and watch through Tubi.

Outages. The word is outages.

>Does anyone ever utilize the max internet speeds?

Not really if you are an average user. Basically what you're getting with higher speeds is more bandwidth for multiple devices.

Sure can, but that's why you don't pursue.

You’re getting down voted but are 100% correct. Retreating = getting shot in the back which is unjustifiable.

Edit: some also mentioned that the guy was “reaching” while he was running. Dude was still running. Regardless of whether or not the thief was a piece of shit self defense ended when pursuit began.

There’s women on Reddit?

Having Yale is a net positive. While I'd like for them to pay a small amount more in taxes, I think they bring way more than just money.

I'm all for recording town meetings and (scheduled) interactions with town employees. Transparency is good for our democracy.

What isn't good or helpful is busting into someones office unannounced, shoving a camera/phone in their face, and rattle of questions. It's stupid.

That's not a first amendment thing. That's just being a dick.

I will mouse over that link when home, but glad if true. So much sports washing going on.

Saudi's have been all about buying up stuff like this, so TBH I wouldn't be surprised if it's true.

In regards to the certificate deducting things from pay is weird and I would rather pay out of pocket. Less chance for fuckery.

I have never paid for a background check when applying for a job. That said I don’t know the requirements for security guards in CT and it could be a deeper check. That said it’s passing costs along and wouldn’t be surprising.

At the end of the day it’s your kids choice, but I would keep shopping.

>Two-spirit gender is a term used specifically by indigenous communities
and for a person who is not indigenous to use that term can be really
offensive, as it is deeply rooted in culture.

So deeply rooted that it was coined in 1990 to replace the (admittedly offensive) word berdache, which itself was coined by western anthropologists to identify indigenous folks that fell into non-gender conforming roles and who may have been LGBT+. Then, going beyond that, it's a term used to refer to men who, for example, like to cook (a traditionally female role).

So I get it. Folks wanted to throw out the old awful and replace it with new and less bad (although there are folks in the indigenous communities that are unhappy with the term, similar to when latinx was invented). I also get the burning desire to toss aside western cultural ideas as, let's be real, the cultural genocide happening against indigenous folks is a bad time.

That said a lot of this concept feels really really gross. Why do do folks need a term for men that like to cook or women that like to hunt? Why are we still harping on people who do "gender non-conforming" tasks?

Your answer to "why isn't this taught in schools" is, frankly, it's a really community-specific topic. US schools, regionally, teach what needs to be know. Something this culturally specific is way, way under the radar considering all of the other really important stuff that needs to be taught about the indigenous peoples of the US.

>cancellation fees

CT has a law that bans cancellation fees. They're still listed on the site but buried in the docs there's the old "Cancellation fee does not apply in CT".

Nearest one is a 35 minute drive. I'd have to save a ton of cans to make it remotely worth it. Maybe once they bump to 10 cents it'll be better, but it's not a good option for me.

Perhaps I'm not so jaded yet, but the big motivation has been to keep the cans/bottles off the side of the street. Sure the state gets their cut when stuff doesn't get turned in, but I'm thoroughly convinced nothing has happened because there are bigger fish to fry.

I'm down with the 10 cent bottle deposit coming from 2024, but the state needs to set up more processing locations where they have high speed counters where you can just dump stuff into a hopper. It's simply not worth enough peoples time to go and single feed even at 10 cents.
