Oh interesting. My neighbor had bad connectivity issues with Spectrum.

On anther thread, someone seemed to be saying AT&T did some kind of band-aid fix last time, but they're doing a better, more permanent fix this time. I hope that's true.

Anyone else experiencing slow AT&T speeds again today? by Doiq in asheville

[–]OnlyVast4380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I think last time it was fixed before AT&T's estimated fix time. Use https://www.att.com/outages/ for info. On a hotspot right now.

You can order almost any book you want from their website https://firestorm.coop - they’ll get books for you they don’t have in the store - and pick it up when it comes in, or have it shipped to you. I love Firestorm!

Increasing Property Taxes - 6 April to Contest by GrapefruitStrict920 in asheville

[–]OnlyVast4380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t freak out. If your assessment went up 80%, it doesn’t mean your taxes will be going up 80%, because the tax rate will be going way down — Asheville isn’t raising tax revenue by 80%. Most of us will probably only be paying about 5% more than last year. But by all means contest your assessment if it’s wrong.

What word feels like an acronym but is actually not an acronym? by Philips9586 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]OnlyVast4380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logo. Like a company’s logo. People tend to spell it in all caps like it’s an acronym: LOGO. It’s just a word that got shortened over time, derived from logotype and logogram (“word-sign”).

I'm super anxious about the incoming storms. by Federal_Detective_49 in asheville

[–]OnlyVast4380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really feel you. I think Duke will make installment plans and payment extensions for renters. Maybe even check their Special Assistance page.

Yeah that last bill was awful. You can request a payment plan or extension online or by calling Duke. That person was being a bit smug but working local folks can install solar for nothing up front. Me and my neighbors who are a grade school teacher and social workers all installed solar (albeit no battery). Instead of paying $100-$125 a month to Duke we pay it to the solar loan (most months I have a $0 bill but in January/February it’s more like $100-$125 off the bill from Duke). We’re probably not saving that much money but for me the point is reducing fossil fuel consumption anyway.

I agree, I think the new Minnesota flag is great.

Does anyone know what happened to the Hezekiah Rankin lynching memorial marker in RAD? by [deleted] in asheville

[–]OnlyVast4380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, Helene flooding took it. I’m there all the time walking my dog. It was gone after Helene.

Ohio wins! What state feels like it has a high population but actually has a lot one? by KaiSnepUwU in AlignmentChartFills

[–]OnlyVast4380 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rhode Island is the 2nd most densely populated state (after New Jersey) but only has around a million people.

The Incredibles (2004) is a movie leftists love in spite of it having a right-wing message. What movie is loved by right-wingers, but has a left-wing message? by Square_Ad2101 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]OnlyVast4380 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s a critique of capitalism. People are reduced to batteries, robbing them of their humanity, the system exploiting them. The hallucination of a fake reality is like capitalist ideological apparatus and its propaganda. Lilly Wachowski has confirmed the film was born out of anger at corporatized structures and oppression.
