As other commenters have said, I’m a frequent user and I can get these symptoms maybe in tinnnny and not at all bothersome doses, but they’re familiar and it’s sorta like a caffeine high - it’s expected when you drink coffee lol

With friends I’ve been with who’ve tried for the first time or don’t use frequently those same symptoms are amplified and unfamiliar and therefore uncomfortable.

“Hello police, My negligence resulted in the loss of a couple hundred dollar item that is my own private property.”

“Oh okay sir, let us spend THOUSANDS of dollars worth of time and energy and manpower and the opportunity cost of solving more important crimes in a BIG CITY to help you retrieve an item that you left behind.”

Read that? Does that sound right to you?

It’s hardly worth the police’s time to pick up the paper to file this report. Maybe if you were in one of the richest zip codes in the country and had a couple friends who said they also had airpods stolen in that location then the cops would help. Otherwise, understand that your low value private property is not a good way to spend public resources’ time in retrieving. Sorry, but that’s reality.

Can comfortably say it sucks both ways. Having lived in the city, I had much more frequent outages and they also lasted longer! More people, more cables, more work, more of a shitshow. I think I have a laughable post on my history showing my apartment’s cable setup from a year ago for a few residents in a building….stupidly convoluted.

Regardless, my point is FUCK XFINITY. terrible company no matter who you are or how you cut it. Fuck them.

Hey potkea! Id potentially make the data into fewer cuts, which would eliminate the number of shades & simplify this overall…maybe 250/500/750/+.

What you’re really drawing attention to is outliers, and they’ll remain as such even with fewer cuts. You can also put the “incidents per 100K” somewhere ONCE - no need for it written out each time. With newfound space (or maybe even without), blow the map up larger, and maybe add a few labels somehow, calling out major cities (small, potentially unnecessary idea tbh), but could be helpful to orient.
