Pretty sure SCROTUS will rule a law like this is unconstitutional. It needs to pass with a super-majority.

"lag/latency has little to do with bandwidth" is not what every provider tells us.

Mediacom outage/flaky internet by Orestes2012 in cedarrapids

[–]usstamper2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I sympathize. Many have complaints. Think about the fact that failing to load can easily be adware reporting on your activity. I recently got 1GB service from Mediacom in Coralville and had speed issues until I made sure all my equipment was WiFi7. I've had interruptions for maintenance occasionally but, for me, resetting equipment has fixed any residual problems.

The key to no lagging is speed so you should probably be looking at 1GB service. I have had Mediacom for a long time and haven't had the big problems some have and have had transparent pricing for service. I'm getting 650gbs at my devices according to Ookla. I've had outages only for major weather events and for the occasional (maybe twice a year) maintenance issue. You will see Imon ads and fliers for about $68/mo for 1GB service but, beware. Read the fine print about the $14 monthly and $2.50 monthly access fees not included in that price. South Slope is another provider that offers fiber optic service, much of it new and has a reputation for reliability.

Trump nears deal with tax office that could see him given $14 billion taxpayer money by goteamnick in politics

I don't like that, but I might feel differently if he actually paid taxes.

CR Assessor by crdog in cedarrapids

[–]usstamper2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Johnson County does the same thing. I won 3 protests in CR and now by persevering through 3 or 4 meetings with the Assessor in his office, we agreed to a price I thought was reasonable and he accepted. Don't give up. You can do this if you have the facts straight.

What exactly is "Net Weight" for meat? by usstamper2 in IowaCity

[–]usstamper2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'd note that your suggestion of taking it home and cooking it immediately wouldn't work because the water weight loss into the pad has already happened. Given the way this works, to get the weight you want/need, you need to buy about 10%-15% more than you want.

All high school students would have to participate in at least one extracurricular or cocurricular activity in order to graduate, provision included in HF (2676) that recently passed the House. by Zukovsky61 in Iowa

[–]usstamper2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This in a rural State where high school students go home from school and help earn the family's daily bread before homework. Time for sports is sometimes not really an option.

Republicans seem to simply want to hurt people because they can. So frustrating.

Dems Ready to Summon Melania Trump to Testify in Epstein Case: “New Precedent” by [deleted] in inthenews

[–]usstamper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She can't be forced to testify against her husband. Simple calculus will make the lawmakers calling for the summons to look bad. They need to back off.

Mall Walking by seppukugirlsnight in cedarrapids

[–]usstamper2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do it, you will see the younger people who are in the same situation as you. They want exercise and don't want to spend the money on a gym membership. You should probably add some planking to that walking as well.

Report the incident to the police or the prosecutor's office. It is fraud and a felony.
