And we know the punishment for murder is a great deterrent, that's why there's no more murders!

Literally the most brainless commentary when crime comes up on this sub. The extent of the penalty doesn't deter criminals. If you think it does, see a doctor, because your brain is missing.

Seriously - before you hire anyone just buy an Eero mesh pro system. Trust me. If that doesn’t work then go ahead and hire someone.. but it will work and you’ll be very happy.

I say this with over 15 years of experience setting up networks.

It's definitely corruption. The city went with a company that had ties to Kenyan McDuffie and I'm sure put a good chunk of money into Bowser's pocket. Why else would they agree to an exclusivity deal, with zero opt outs with a company that has zero experience running this kind of business. It's such a joke and most people just travel to MD and VA to play. The city is missing out on so much revenue from on very stupid decision.

Its like a bystander effect diffusion of responsibility blind spot. I think that's the worst part of all this. People just say fuck it and fuck you"... the top ten percent. It's not my responsibility? What help am I gonna do?"

Hiding behind a study showing 100 companies were responsible for 70% of greenhouse gas. It's like so what? Avoid those industries and mitigate the results! 🤦‍♂️

My wording was a little confusing. I’ve seen other people corroborate that is the same people just doing the same shit over and over and getting released. So she clearly knows the problem. Our elected AG is responsible for juvenile punishment and I believe the council sets sentencing standards for both juveniles and adults.

Council is also responsible for funding priorities. People keep saying we need non police responses and other services for these kids, but we have them; a million different programs being funded inside and outside the school system targeted towards this. I’m sure those programs catch layers of these kids from getting worse, but I’m also sure there are certain ones that break through all the other efforts and IMO it’s ok to drop the hammer on them judicially.

I’m still in disbelief the girls who murdered that Uber driver are essentially going to serve 5-6 years based on when they age out of the juvenile system. I also think without more punitive measures people end up taking retribution / protection into their own hands like the dude who shot that 13 year old.

The one thing we need congress to help on is looking into the USAO which is responsible for prosecution of adults. It’s basically a black box we don’t get much accountability nor information on.

The customer service people are horrible. It seems they made no efforts to hire people that understand the industry. It seems they’re lotto employees with poor training trying to run a sportsbook. I won a $800 parlay and it didn’t settle after hours. I reached out and they said it got held for review because it was such a large amount. I’m thinking like someone actually won with your ridiculous odds and they trying to find a way not to pay. Unbelievable. My account was recently deactivated for inactivity as well but I felt real good about that.
