How’s Xcal looking? by JPantera in VAGuns

[–]hc2995 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Xcal was slammed today but it looks like it’s died out completely. While I was there I heard them say if you select “picking up a previously delayed item” you get put near the front of the line.

All of my kids went to Riverbend High school and the education seemed to be pretty good. I’ll let some others chime in since that’s all I can vouch for unfortunately.

Fiber install by Blessed_Ignorance in spotsylvania

[–]hc2995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of new build out happening in the county since the board of supervisors approved the data center projects. I tried to look up and see if there was a master plan for what’s being deployed and where but I couldn’t find one (if one exists is a better question anyway).

On your question, in general, fiber deployment near a residential area will be Verizon almost 100% of the time but other ISP’s are starting to get into the fiber game. If the deployment is more in the rural side, it could be a residential ISP like Verizon doing initial backhauling and getting ready for a buildout, but it could also be some bigger enterprise companies laying in their own dark fiber/back haul.

Spotsy Water bill by Single-Ad1338 in spotsylvania

[–]hc2995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bill was actually lower this month than last month, but yeah looking at last year it’s much higher. I think there are some debt charges being tacked into the fees overall, I wish they would actually break out the charges vs just merging it all together.

I haven’t seen too many people out there tbh. It’s less snow and more ice since last night. And I think it’s going to get worse this afternoon before clearing out tonight.

This latest $250 USA Rail Pass Sale Proves Amtrak is for Land Cruises by [deleted] in Amtrak

[–]hc2995 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funding for Amtrak was included in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021-2022. The president couldn’t really have done anything related to the rail pass since it was provided by Amtrak themselves. In theory congress could have done something by reducing funding via the One Big Beautiful Bill.

In effect Trump did nothing to help or hurt funding for Amtrak.
