It’s totally possible! I live in CO and Comcast had a legal monopoly per state law. Nobody else is allowed to compete with their cable service. But you know what isn’t cable? Fiber! A local broadband company just installed fiber in my neighborhood this spring. I signed up for $89/mo gigabit service, no data cap, no installation fees at all. Between when I signed up and when they turned on service, they upgraded my service to 1.2 gigabit, same monthly price, no cap, no commitment, no upsell (their only other service is rural satellite Internet).

I talked to the technician installing it and he said they aren’t getting any subsidies from anyone. Not the city, state, or fed. It’s simply economically viable to run new gigabit fiber for $89/mo. All it takes is a company that can make the initial infrastructure investment.

Yep, that’s on track! My house has almost tripled in price since I bought it 12 years ago. Denver metro. No way I could afford it if I had to buy it today.

Yep. NAA*P censored their name too.

What were soldiers doing in hospitals and schools? It’s almost like they wanted to get themselves blown up!

Oh, my bad. Wrong place. I got it confused with this one:

“A Major Massacre” in Jabaliya; Israeli Forces Raid Kamal Adwan Hospital in Northern Gaza, Killing Patients

Or maybe it was this one:

Israel strike on Gaza school-turned-shelter kills 17, hospital says

Damn, maybe it was this one:

Israeli attack closes last functioning hospital in north Gaza

Found it! I was thinking of this one:

Israeli shelling of Gaza school kills at least 22

Well, it’s at least one of those.

Heh, don’t take my perspective as being supportive of it.

We have let the world know there are no rules

Quite the opposite. The US is demonstrating that it is above any international law and will do what it wants regardless of any standing agreements. It’s demonstrating that the only rules that matter are the ones it makes. Israel is our dog on our leash and we’re letting it bite someone. But if anyone hurts our dog, we’ll go full John Wick on their country. That’s why Israel bombs schools and hospitals without warning and Iran gives a few days notice before they attack.

In the US, the penalties can be higher if you’re drunk and commit a crime. Being drunk is in and of itself a crime in the US (public intoxication) so you at least get that as an additional charge.

Hey you leave them out of this. Ocean Avenue is a treasure.

Yeah but hair metal had raw sex appeal. They’d fuck your girl, and maybe you too, and you were ok with it. Sure it’s musically lighter, but they went hard. On the other hand, you assume 5FDP is on tour again because they’re behind on child support payments.

Giving someone a pile of cash is not mental healthcare.

The “genius” was the IN state Congress that made it law that 37.5 and under must be considered part time, even for minors. I was working exactly that every week while also going to high school when I was 16.

The last time I worked hourly was the late 90s. We got a paid 15 break per 4 hours worked. If we worked more than 6 hours, we also got an unpaid 30 minute lunch. I got no benefits because I was part-time at 37.5 hours per week.

You’re making coffee in an instant pot? Tell me more!

It’s impossible to stop now. There’s no leader for Israel to negotiate a ceasefire with, so they’re just going to have to keep doing the lord’s work until there’s nobody left to slaughter.

I call bullshit. He wasn’t there to assassinate Trump. If he was, they sure as shit aren’t letting him out on $5k bond the same day with only minor charges.

See, there’s the problem. You’re driving 33 kph but trucks can only go in mph so you’re slower. Learn to freedom better.

Ugh, Westminster, CO. Most showings in the Denver area are at least half full. But most theaters aren’t showing it at all.

It makes for a more defensible argument. No sane person is going to argue that a 4 year old child is an enemy combatant. But a 20 year old male? It’s easy to argue they could have been an enemy combatant and so maybe the numbers are inflated. Saying 1000 people can be interpreted as 999 enemies and only 1 civilian casualty. Saying 1000 women and children is usually interpreted as 1000 innocent lives lost.
