Reply to Fios internet alternatives? by [deleted]
We have Verizon and Cox, that seems to be the only two choices. Having had both, Verizon is superior by far. By the end, Cox was getting so bad the router had to be restarted at least once a day. What a pain in the ass. Yeah, Verizon probably sucks in other ways but in how the internet connects and works, it's the best.

I'm curious about the whole cleaning aspect though. Would the bees not clean the holes themselves? Do bees generally create their own holes in something that self-cleans or prevents mites from taking hold? Why are these holes so much different than what the bees make?

Do you know what hours they're open to visitors?

Are group meditations/dharma talks open to the public? Would they care if I lean more towards Mahayana but still would like their talks? Do they have monks/nuns and do they take food donations? Would they care if I'm white? Are Dharma talks in English?
Basically a lot I guess. :x

There was a small house at the very end of Benefit that had an open house one day. My husband and I went in just to see. It was so cute! Would love to live in one of those houses, though I'm not sure a lot of modern furniture would fit in the staircase. Oh, and the street itself is so damn pretty.
Just don't pick the house that's at the end of the giant hill that needs stone protection. That would be terrifying.

I'll take the chance over nothing. Used a few times before but then one day it never loaded again. Reinstalled and everything, nothing. But now it's back! At least I can feel like I tried to do something if I send in a complaint or alert for something they can/should fix.

Agreed. Obviously there's ways the city/state can implement better roads and techniques that try to hinder driver's driving erratically but on the other hand sometimes you just have to try your best to look out for yourself when possible. It just sucks when it's young children, the elderly, the disabled, and anyone else who might not be able to do the things to protect themselves from bad drivers.

Sure, they're not healthy but I don't think any normal person thinks so to begin with. So much shit in life is killing us anyways, enjoy a wiener once in a while, if you choose to.

A medical examiner would be able to tell if he was hit by a car. All they said was that his spine was fractured.

Not sure why they're leaving out 27 & 28 on Broadway. Those are still damn close for the average person to walk to in about 5 minutes.

Whoever gets a place there is going to be so lucky, there's like 6 bus lines that all go past there.

Maybe if drivers actually were injured they'd learn but instead this driver probably learned nothing.

Smoking isn't allowed at KP but that doesn't stop smokers from littering their shitty butts all over the ground.
It's a good idea to ban all smoking in an area but smokers don't give a damn. This will be useless.

Adding greenery to Thayer street is an automatic yes in my book.
