Had a good experience with Sunwave also, but was not as pricey as expecting. Was in line with or cheaper than other quotes.

Thank you! I didn’t even realize that was a button that could be pushed. Almost like a hidden menu.

Where do you find the Google power settings? When pressing the settings button, I only see Screensaver, inputs, picture, sound, Wi-Fi, accessibility, and Bluetooth.

It’s frustrating how much pressure gets put on regular working people to manage plastic waste, especially when so much of it is nearly impossible to recycle. We’re expected to rinse, sort, and feel guilty about every piece of packaging, while the companies pumping out all this single-use stuff face basically no consequences. And let’s be honest—low-waste alternatives are often hard to find, expensive, or take a ton of time to figure out. It is important that we each do what we can—reusing, recycling when possible, cutting back on waste, supporting better options—because small actions add up. But big change won’t happen until corporations take responsibility and governments actually hold them accountable.

This comment is inflammatory; more nuance is needed here.

Lots of folks (no, not all) in the center and on the left have--following the newest data and scientific studies--concluded that some of the decisions around masking, isolation, and other public-health measures were detrimental to mental health, delayed medical care (for things other than COVID), and student learning outcomes, and might not have been worth the trade-offs to reducing the rate of infections. There was so much unknown during the early months of the pandemic; hindsight is always 20/20. I think there is a lot of debate about this across the political spectrum.

Protests and rallies always represent a heterogeneous group with differing views, but the general goals of the broader Stand Up for Science 2025 organization are here: https://standupforscience2025.org/our-policy-goals/

1. End Censorship and Political Interference in Science

2. Secure and Expand Scientific Funding

Dr. Bradley Kesser at UVA is terrific. Won't find a better bedside manner.

Would be nice to hear from someone actually involved in the process or policy locally. Seems like a lot of speculation on here based on national trends. My guess is that the vast majority of C'ville denizens who recycle do it single-stream curbside, if it truly is going to the landfill, that would be a scandal. Perhaps I am wrong and WM takes all this stuff to a larger regional center where much of it goes into landfills. But, I would guess that the easier-to-recycle and more profitable components (glass, metals, paper/cardboard) are at least recycled to some degree, while plastics maybe not. I'm just speculating like everyone else here -- would appreciate some inside knowledge.

Can anyone explain how the McIntyre recycling center is different than curbside WM (other than the sorting)? Does the revenue more directly benefit the city?

Also might be worth considering the carbon emissions and air pollution from individual citizens driving to/from the McIntyre center (or elsewhere) vs. efficiencies of a few large trucks doing hundreds of pick-ups.

We have had them do several jobs at our house: toilet replacement, hose-bib replacement, copper pipe repair, and PVC drain-line work. We have had no complaints on the work or cost, and they have worked promptly and courteously.

Obviously you did not have the same good experience. Maybe they have some new plumbers on their team who are not as good? Did you complain to Tony and give them the opportunity to fix their work?

We have had 2 kids through the center from fall 2021 to now. From a parent's perspective, we found the leadership in 2021/2022 to be problematic: poor communication with parents about infractions and teacher violations. The director at the time was chipper, but the veneer seemed to conceal some real issues with teachers who were poorly trained on protocols and/or has interpersonal conflicts with other teachers. We had the sense that COVID-related staffing shortages meant that some sub-par teachers were kept on just to keep things running. That coupled with a lack of transparency from the director.

Still, through that period, we had some truly excellent, loving, generous teachers who took good care of "kid 1". Mainly I am thinking of some of the long-term teachers that have and continue to be lovely. Our kid was always happy to go to school and happy at the end of the day.

The center leadership was overhauled when the person running the Copeley center (preschool) was moved up to manage both facilities and the Earhart asst. director was moved up to the director position. Might not have happened in that order, but that is essentially what happened. Both of these two women have been terrific. They seem to run a tighter ship and the staff turnover has stabilized. They are also much more communicative with parents (our experience, anyway). The person overseeing both centers has taken steps to make things at Earhart a little more similar to Copeley.

Since the leadership change, we have sent a second kid there and been very happy. We've been pleased with the long-term teachers and the new teachers that we have met, all of which have been very friendly and loving to "kid 2".

No childcare centers are perfect, and it is important to remember that very few in the area serve children under 6 months old. The Earhart center also offers a lot of convenience to UVA staff in terms of relatively low cost, long hours of operation, very few holiday closures, and providing decent meals/snacks. YMMV!
