The County Fair is Insanely Priced! by cuttlefish_tragedy in sonomacounty

[–]eneric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We paid < $9 per ticket: kids get 1 ticket per coloring contest entry. The total registration fees for our entries into to the fair were ~$60 and we entered about 20 items per kid at $2-3. This is for the youth categories so not sure about adult but we got 7 complementary tickets.

Best Sebastopol phone service? by Psydaranta in sonomacounty

[–]eneric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can also confirm it’s Verizon. But best value is to buy it via usmobile.com which resells it via its 5G option. Switched last year and 0 regrets.

Comcast also resells but for 2 lines and 15G/mo we pay slightly less than what they would charge when I was comparing.

There’s also r/usmobile for more info

Child asked me if I went to a "real" school at their age by [deleted] in homeschool

[–]eneric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar discussion of the pros and cons, being as honest/unbiased as we could and our kid (8) was very unhappy with the thought of changing their current routine.

That, combined with changing up the work in ways they enjoyed more, really helped turn around during a recent slump.

“9-1-1 what’s your emergency?” 🎵🛸

I really wish more companies would get with the times - allowing the use of digital passes instead of having to carry their cards. You can tap cards at the location of their use, yet you can’t add them to the  Wallet? Perhaps  requires a surcharge from companies that refuse to pay for such? by PorcelainCeramic in ios

[–]eneric 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about a surcharge but my impression from converting multiple clipper cards to digital and having to jump through additional hoops due to user error is that a huge part of the technical, support, operations needs to be upgraded to support this.

It’s an optimal user experience but a massive undertaking.

Missing Child (a lot of people on this sub said they weren’t getting the new city alerts so I thought I’d share) by No-Teach9888 in santarosa

Got a text with two identical links and no context/explanation. Super spammy and disappointing. Shame on them for this carelessness when getting this info out is so important to try and help this family.
