Tipping is retarded to begin with.
If I go out with my friends and we get 4 burgers instead of 4 steaks, the server gets less than half the tip for the same amount of work simply because of what we ordered.

Three family members commented on the amount of cars being pulled over. Different areas of Tolland County.

The expected behavior in the oncoming lane is to slow down (not stop), and use the breakdown lane/margin or whatever you want to call it to make room (in the case of a truck blocking half the lane)
In the case the truck is blocking the whole lane, it's typical too stop, wait for a clear shot, and then go, if oncoming cars appear they stop, the next car that would leave their lane stops, and the oncoming cars resume their right off way when clear...
Pretty sure it's an unwritten protocol, but that's how it would work smoothly and preserve right of way. You can't account for people breaking the protocol though, there's always that one guy... People have trouble when two lanes merge to one as well, you're supposed to create a space for a car between every car, and once you get to the merge spot it can be smooth like a zipper closing, but there's always that one guy that won't leave a space and stops traffic in the other lane.

No, I've been in this situation. Was pulled over and did not have my physical license on me. I did have a picture of my license. I received a warning but was told I need to carry my physical license with me. This was in Orange for reference.

These days they pull the car identification up by scanning the plate. They don't have to pull you over first. They have plate and speed lidar sitting on the car. You know they are active when you see the IRdot flicker. So if you have a valid reason to be pullover and ticket the amount worth the court while they will do that.

Dang that is quite a pickle, and one that I unfortunately have very limited experience in. What you should search for is an environmental law attorney to advise you on remediation and limit your potential liability with this property. I’m afraid I can’t think of any environmental law attorneys to refer you to.

Some of you do not pass the vibe check, smh. A lot of excuse to not pay people a consistent living wage. The key word is CONSISTENT. So much affects how much you are tipped that you cannot control. I’d rather have a consistent stream of income than a boom and bust cycle I cannot reliably predict. The individual cannot be held accountable on the good-will or lack thereof, unfortunately people are shitty and nothing can ever change that, so the system around it must change to acquire equity.

No doubt about it, beneficiary designations are a very important part of an estate plan.

I had the nearly the exact same experience with my Gen 2 Prius at the HomeDepot in Manchester. I ordered a pallet of flooring, the forklift operator brought the pallet outside and saw my Prius, and then refused to load it. So I took a case of flooring one at a time off the pallet, and filled up the entire car with it. The forklift operate just stared in disbelief as the Prius absorbed an entire pallet of flooring. Then I drove on I84 just fine.

Reply to comment by TheValentinePianoman in News 12 Poll: Should Connecticut raise servers' wages? by jaydecay123
Ok. That has nothing to do with the comment I replied to. They said no one should make less than minimum wage. It’s just a fact that servers don’t make less than minimum wage.

Most of the world doesn’t have a tipping culture.

Learning to drive in NYC taught me street lines are more of a suggestion than a rule.

Reply to Have there been more traffic stops lately? by [deleted]
Just the opposite actually. There are less basic traffic stops in my town. I think there is a direct correlation between the lack of enforcement and rise in blown stop signs, red lights, illegal turns and other moving violations.
