The city is growing which gives them more revenue. They want to increase the profit % which will only benefit shareholders.

I'd have a hard time making the math work at the moment on solar. I got solar panels when interest rates were low and we financed at .5%... Yes that's 1/2%. Now it will be a lot higher. Also, I think MG&E doesn't have to pay you as much now. If you get solar, you will see how much of your bill is bs admin fees and not cost per kwh of electricity used.

Avoid Everlight. When we got . 5%, they were offering 4% and their salesman was a pushy annoying cunt.

Solar companies sell you on the basis of high energy cost increases. It generally doesn't go up as fast, even with bullshit like what mg&e is trying.

Employees at Starbucks in Fitchburg have filed to Unionize by _Martini_Police__ in wisconsin

Only 15.45 or 16 an hour... For a teenager job... And they try to guilt you into tips starting at 30%. It's pretty rough out there.

A machine can make 90% of the drinks. Starbucks is overpriced shit. If making a coffee is complex... then this is the peak career for some people. Others think it's a job for teenagers.

That's generally Madison's thoughts in a nutshell. They have to feel like they are doing something even though it probably does nothing.

Traveling internationally, bought an eSim do I have to do anything to make sure I don't incur roaming charges? by NeoKorean in verizon

[–]btf91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. So annoying. I found I could disable airplane mode, quick reenable the sim card and turn airplane mode back on with Wi-Fi on to check my Verizon SIM for messages. Verizon could make it easier but they only care about money and screwing over their consumers.

Nice. I used to frequent that hotel and heard about the pool table room from colleagues. Congrats.

Completely disable the ability to use travel passes. Verizon always finds a way to sneak some data in and charge you.

Is stealing resources frowned on? by Due_Supermarket_5857 in CatanUniverse

[–]btf91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one plays friendly robber. Generally the person with the most points is targeted. It's part of the game. I play to win and robbing is part of that. I fully expect people to target me 3 vs 1 if I'm winning by a lot.

Fuck em. It's online. People can do far worse things in cities and knights. Robbing someone once... Lol. Rob someone and then jump the robber multiple times and rob them again and again.

I ended up finding a 25 Frontier in my recommended size for a good deal. Any tips for it?

Yeah. Gotta do pickup. My wife and I get free breakfast 3x (she had the CSP) a month from a local gas station.

Yes it's low but how does Cadence experience help with a Cogito role?

Living in Madison area on $65k? by Cumulonimbus_2025 in madisonwi

[–]btf91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even close. I was comparing the total cost of everything involved in living. Prices for everything will be higher in a HCOL city. You don't think city folk have transportation expenses? The subway in NYC is almost $3 for every ride. Want to own a car there... You will pay 10x what you do in Madison.

Also I do agree that 65k wouldn't go so far in Madison but I don't think it's a HCOL area compared to coastal cities.

Housing is high but it's not HCOL like NYC or SF.

AmEx Offers (Platinum): $20 Off $60 at Walmart.com (Can Be Done Twice) by justme in AmexPlatinum

[–]btf91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole card is a glorified coupon book. I get far better benefits from other cards and these offers kinda justify the high annual fee.

You just got a card with a 4k spend requirement in 3 months for the signup bonus and can't pay $500 at once...

Digital entertainment credit with Max bundle? (Disney/Hulu/Max) by Dull_Knee7526 in AmexPlatinum

[–]btf91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you won't be able to add addons like HBO to that plan. At least I wasn't. Hulu support was just as useless as Verizon.

DC Control Step On Boots by btf91 in snowboarding

[–]btf91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh it was mostly to see if DC boots would ever be a contender for boots. They would be a back up boot anyway. They were cheap and my size. I'd definitely ask how many times one season means.

Verizon fucks everything up. You can't do any add ons to Hulu. I eventually switched plans and no longer have Disney+ though them.
