I mean, drug dealers have the potential to ruin not only people's lives/families, but also neighborhoods, and well, murderers literally take a life away. You're saying anyone of a sex crime should get life compared to them, which isn't reasonable. As with any crime, it depends on the severity, etc. , and it's not always fair, but you don't sound very reasonable. A small offense shouldn't land someone in jail for life.

The law and rulings don't always make sense, and there is room to improve, but I think you're going too aggressively in one direction.

It's been a couple-few years, so my opinion may not be very relevant anymore, but I had a poor experience with T-mobile/Sprint on both networks. Signal was too weak to even make calls in a number of locations. I feel like out of the two when I had both around the same time, the Sprint network was worse, but that network is basically gone at this point post-merger. It did improve quite a bit leading up to the shutdown though in terms of coverage, but still a bit slow. T-mobile still has 2G up and running apparently for another year, I guess to fill in the gaps.

I'm not an experienced driver, but I took my test a couple years ago doing method #2 and didn't have any issues personally(or any parking deductions). It's way easier and natural and not as convuluted as the first, and plus, the guy in the first video didn't even park perfectly anyway, he went over the lines when backing up(because he pulled too far forward), which could potentially lose you points if you have someone strict, but maybe not. You really need to practice doing it though in the vehicle you'll be using, because that will determine your exact positions you'll need.

They want to know that you're confident behind the wheel, use proper turn signals(you need to make sure you use a turn signal for every move you make, even if it's overexaggeration), do not cross lines, and do not hit anything(including the back of the parking spot if there's a curb), and park center(not over the lines).

Note that with method #2, it requires more space and proper signal usage(it's easy to forget the signals during the test for it). I really struggled with method #1 in some cars, because I was trying to follow some strict rule.

You can't really count the spots ahead if they instruct you to park at the end spot. So just be mindful of trying different parking spot locations beforehand, because you don't always get to choose the spot you'll be parking in at the end of your test, and sometines in reality as well.

Try and go during the weekend and test in the parking lot in a few different spots(first spot, last one, center) to prepare.

Our electric heating(with other electric appliances/water heater) during January(with one room of 2 baseboards on at low temp, but usually running a lot) is about $620ish. January is usually the worst month, but this January is a bit mild. Hoping it reflects in the bill to be near the usual amout, otherwise we'd be probably beating you. December is usually around $350-400ish(before these rate increases). We should be getting our January bill soon, a bit scared lol.

That's pretty high for a 2 bedroom apartment though(the $789), something might be up with your usage or a leak developed somewhere, or your habits changed. It's awful how out of control these rates have gotten, especially for those of us with electric heating. A lot of people with electric heating are going to struggle a bit while this is going on.

Sump pump has been running the past day, it started(at least the earliest we noticed) last night.

I don't remember the pump ever running in January before.

and UI !

I'll enjoy the 1% more heating I can get this winter from it on my $1000 baseboard heating bill once the price increases go in effect, I'm very grateful UI /s .

If you go to the link, it still shows a net income increase as well. Says a 17.34% increase since 2021 in September, a 53% increase between September 2019 and September 2022.

I was turned off the WRG4 by all of the reports on Reddit and YouTube of them wearing out fast/cracking, even though they were apparently great. I read the performance drops off a cliff once you reach a certain percentage of threadwear(which comes fast due to how soft they are). The general concensous when I researched tires recently is that people loved them, but they wore down faster than the other all-weathers(which already wear faster).

They are also a fairly low rated all weather by consumer reports, because they do poorly in non-winter tests compared to other all-weathers. Other all-weathers like the cross climate 2 and Weatherready were much better all-rounders, with the crossclimate 2 topping the charts. It would probably make more sense to just a winter tire at that point if you are looking at the Nokian WRG4 unless you have money to spend on tires to keep them at their peak performance.

For example, the WRG4 received a 2/5(Fair) for wet braking when new. The crossclimate 2 received a 4/5(Very Good).
