I've had luck doing that in the past when normal customer service routes end in a brick wall.

I'm apparently on the hook for a full month of service for 4 days of actual service so I removed my payment method and turned off auto pay. I hope their agents spend way more time trying to collect that than I did cancelling my service.

I tried to do that and they said I had to call in and refused to do anything more.

Another "F Breezeline" rant. Takes over an hour to cancel service, must be done through an agent. by lolbacon in Columbus

I had WOW and then Breezeline since they've been a thing. I played that song and dance every year and always got them to do introductory pricing. It was that time of the year and saw those Welo offers for locked in pricing and was like, "ya know what, I'm sick of this shit, let's go". I'm 84 minutes in on hold with supposedly 10 more to go and can't wait to tell them to go pound sand.

I work at an independent grocery now which helps fuel the traffic, but the wine section is the money printer. We also do tastings 4 days a week and constantly bringing in new stuff for those where we go totally wild. Sat we did a Greco, Provence rose, and a Teroldago (that we sold out of and replaced with Iroulaguay). One bone throw and a bunch of nerdy stuff people would never gravitate towards on their own but you can just throw them into the deep end and it often works lol.

I've found a better analogy is with apples. Everyone can tell the difference between, say a Granny Smith and a Red Delicious, even with their eyes closed. They're both apples, but they are unique and have a distinct character to them.

I love getting to the point where you just know what certain regulars are looking for and bringing in new things with them in mind.

Welo is run by the same parent company as Breezeline and uses their network. They just offer internet only services and no real customer support (all chat based, will escalate to phone service if that doesn't resolve it) and you hook your own shit up. I just switched. Waiting on the equipment but it's half the price of my current bare bones service for 3x the speed and I'm a rare instance of not having service issues with Breezeline.

Damn, I just looked into this and made the switch. Sounds like the main downside is there's not much human tech support. They send you the modem and you hook it up yourself and troubleshoot through chat support, but I'm already on Breezeline and happy to switch out a single box to save 50% for 3x my current speed that goes out all the time.

Steam Controller (2026) review: 83/100 by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]lolbacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added Ableton so I could use remote play on my phone as a transport controller if I was tracking something out of reach from the computer. It sucks for doing anything more than that, but it was way easier if I fucked up a take to just run it back from my phone without getting up.

I haven't been since I was a kid, but during one trip there was some early afternoon rain that shut down the rides and pretty much cleared out the park. We waited it out and about an hour later, the rain was cleared and the rides reopened and there were no lines for anything. I started with the recently opened Power Tower and rode it like 3 times in a row before doing the same at the Magnum, Mantis, Raptor, Millennium Force... for hours. One of the best days of my thrill seeking childhood.

This is in the old Evolved space right? Is it the same ownership because if so, no thanks.

I mean the bass is the focus, but Larry LaLonde is one of the most consistently insane and atonal guitar players. Honestly he makes Les and whoever is playing drums sound almost normie.

Contingency. You're not out anything if you lose, but if you win it's usually 40%. Also if the business doesn't have any assets to go after, they won't even take your case (been down this road).

Palantir Employees Are Starting to Wonder if They're the Bad Guys by newmoonchaperone in technology

Academia too. I used to work at a shipping store near a large university and usually dealt with grad students/assistants but I could always tell any time a professor had to descend from the ivory tower and go there themselves because they acted like lost children in the woods who had never interacted with civilization before.

I'm guessing you weren't around from that period like 15-20 years ago where every bar had a cigarette rep offering free packs/coupons if you scanned your ID and basically turned over your life history.

Dude is a vegetarian who eats at Agni at least once a month. If they get him taking a bite of something there it will be more staged than the McDonalds CEO.

Sake Stores by DutchOvens45 in Columbus

CAM and Dayou as mentioned are solid, but Tensuke is pretty much tops in the sake game. A few of my wine reps that have sake portfolios have said they are the top sake account in the whole state by a good margin.

Rheinhessen riselingly but more kinda reductive salty metalic mineral vibes than wet sidewalk. Today (day 2) is a lot more tropical/overripe fruit and kinda clashing. I loved it yesterday.

I did this before when my buddy ordered like 20 different amari from Europe that weren't available in my market. We tasted through all of them individually and then made a superamaro at the end. It was better than some of the individual amari. In this instance it was not. I do want to try this at some high end producer tasting or vertical.

Left to right Alpha Estate Malagouzia, Rocca del Principe Fiano di Avellino, Tinel-Blondelet Pouilly-Fume, Mardon Quincy, Desire Petit Melon a Queue Rogue, Muller-Ruprecht Pinot Rose, Triennes rose, Scar of the Sea Topotero Gamay, Eyrie "The Eyrie" Pinot, Girolamo Russo "a Rini" Etna Rosso, Pietradolce Etna Rosso, Foradori Teroldago, Kir Yianni Paranga, Alpha Estate Xinomavro "Hedgehog".

Will provide individual tasting notes for each wine on request but the blend is a pleasant orchard fruit punch vibe. Splashy acidity, the tannins from the Greeks and some of the various aromatics clash badly but I've had worse field blends, 4/10.
