If driving is so dangerous we should just outlaw it.

Ginos and Pat's are a tourist trap. Pats gets credit for inventing the steak sandwich, and Genos gets credit for adding cheese. Beyond that, they're probably 2 of the worst options to choose from.
If you're ever in the area again, hit up Dalessandros.

FHI in Manchester is always hiring because the turnover rate is so high. They hire anyone and pay weekly. You just have to put up with annoying micro-managing supes.

Reply to This is my first year owning a car how do car taxes work? Do they just mail you a form once a year? And how much is it typically? by _camnoble_
Depends. 70% of assessed value x Town mil rate then divide by 1000. That will get you how much your bill will be. Typically due once per year in July.
​
Example: Assessed value of $20k x 32.5 (Random mil rate) / 1000 = $650.

Reply to comment by pinkanon39 in Best fast food place at Waterbury? by quediabloshagoxd
On 63 you have McDonald's, BK, Taco Bell and a g's burgers. From Waterbury the only franchise worth eating in town is Frankie's or nardellis. Tons of small places are nice in Waterbury, but fast food is such shit. So easy to take a ride up to Watertown. I wish someone would do a live review of the difference in quality. They get paid the same shit wages, I don't understand why Waterbury has so little pride even their cheap food is shit. You think it would be banging. Sure the Taco Trucks are banging but franchise food is shit. Kfc isn't bad. Although we all hear the rat stories.

Reply to comment by ManhattanMadMan in What is the cheapest way to get ductless mini splits or central air installed? by MormonReformist
I was quoted between 8k and 13k. Settled on a contractor that did it for 10k. That's with rebates applied. You pay the loan back through your electric bill as a separate charge. No money down less than 1% 10k loan? For me financially it was a no brainer considering my second floor had no heating or cooling system when I bought it. It was our first project in the new old house.

These "nobody wants to work" types just kill me lol. They will be the very first to complain when they are not getting served or when places are shutting down at weird hours. If you don't want to work for anyone, no one will want to work for you either 🤷♀️

You can get whatever brand you like as long as it meets the efficiency requirements and your contractor is on the approved installation list. Mine are westinghouse and they've been good thus far.

CT is $42B in debt. Why does it matter what anyone does at this point? Just make everything legal, tax it, and fix maybe one pothole. Hell, they could’ve just made betting on UCONN basketball legal and handed out free shrooms as a celebration for being out of debt.

Reply to comment by Itellfactsbackup in When you need a new bottle opener, and also a reminder that better places exist than the Southern states where you’ve been living the past 20 years by Rauschenbusch
How do you know what I do to advocate and fight for rights in both our state and other states from one comment? I’ve lived in several areas of the US, but truly came back because I felt that I could effectuate more change here. I work with some of the most helpless folks in society to help level the playing field DAILY. I foster children who need a home and give up any semblance of a personal life. But it’s worth it to help children feel safe and loved. I donate to organizations that can actually effectuate change in states where rights are being robbed. If everyone could get in there and make small grassroots changes, then maybe we could make some movement as a country towards a better life for everyone. One where EVERYONE’S basic needs are met. But until then, all I can do is try to make the most of this one life I’ve been given, to use my voice and advantages to advocate for others. Just wanted to share that you can’t make an assumption about someone based on 2 sentences on a Reddit thread.

Went to the Sonic in Wallingford last year, it took 45 minutes at the drive through. Over 5 minutes waiting at the speaker before anyone even said a word. When I got to the window I saw all the employees inside filming a tik tok.

Came here to say the same. Someone I was really close with was a felon and worked at a dealership for a long time. Multiple other lube techs also had records. It was good money & most are willing to put you through school or train you to get further within the job. They also worked for Amazon before their charges were cleared. Lots of people there also had something on their background checks.

Dude call the international union of bricklayers and allied craft workers in wallingford.
You'll start at over 20/hr. Pension, insurance, annuity and good pay.
They don't care about court cases or felonies, it's construction.
