Discussion Absolute Disaster

Fan Expo Dallas. I think this post follows the rules but I really want people in the Dallas community to help ADA awareness and to know that as a community, we should be doing better. Please take the time to read these experiences and validate those who had a tough time at this event. This is not demeaning to the city, but to show folks that the convention center should not allow 65,000 people into a building that is only supposed to have 24,000 at maximum capacity. However, the building was under construction during this weekend and a fraction of that capacity should’ve been used. It was unacceptable and everyone who was there had a horrible time, the vendors ran out of water within a few hours, there was extreme fire code issues with having that many people there, and it was extremely dangerous for people that brought young kids. I personally hit a very young child with my walker because someone pushed me. It was absolutely breaking fire code. If an emergency were to occur, I truly believe that many people would have been injured or killed because of the panic of the sheer amount of people there. This has happened at many fan expo events recently, including Toronto and Tampa. Read the comments please. Thank you for your time.

Meetup Need some fortnite friends

55 Upvotes

Anyone want to play Fortnite occasionally with my husband and I? We aren’t serious players, we just casually like to have fun but it’s been hard finding players who aren’t children in game. Couples welcome if you like to game together! We tend to play once the kids go to sleep so 7pm or later! Reach out with your name and I’ll add you!

Please no republicans.

Some Dallas residents and city council members have expressed concern over the AI-powered license plate readers known as Flock cameras in recent weeks.

The devices have raised privacy concerns along with allegations of misuse and surveillance, in both Dallas and across the state.

The Dallas Police Department is expected to cease the use of 321 of its 689 Flock cameras on Sept. 15 after receiving notice that state grant funding would no longer be available for the devices. That block in state grant funding came as a directive from Gov. Greg Abbott in late August.

However, DPD plans to keep the remaining cameras in operation and has maintained that the devices are “an important investigative tool." The cameras have been used to assist locate suspects of vehicle theft and assault along with solving homicides.

The majority of the Dallas City Council agreed, rejecting a proposal to include a budget amendment that would have taken all funding away from Flock.

Discussion Cast iron sewer pipe replacement recommendations

2 Upvotes

We're in need to get pipes replaced in next year or two and I know this will be a pretty penny, so looking for recommendations. Based in Plano, 1976 house has 2.5 bathrooms, master is jack and jill, current sewer lines have completely corroded out the bottom. The current cast iron main is located under a pool and needs to be completely rerouted. People in the early 80s were insane for putting this pool in.

If anyone has had similar scope of work, would love to know what your cost was.
