Is your zipper down?

Second this. Dr. Mark is amazing. He saved our bunny’s life!

You have always had the choice to buy your own modem. You were actually paying them for the benefit of using their modem, so ball is in their court. You could have also turned off the xfinitywifi SSID on their modem, but I’ve seen it reactivate itself.

What you experienced in your apartment is more related to how cable internet works. It can be bogged down by a lot of people nearby using their own cable internet. I lived in a townhome complex in college that this happened at. The difference was unreal between summer and fall. Whether copper cable, or fibre, they all eventually trunk into a smaller number of cables that are effectively shared by many people. Fibre is less susceptible to a noticeable bottleneck because of how much more bandwidth it has over copper wires.

My coworkers (in my previous corporateland life) and I somehow ended up there after work one Friday and one of the girls went on a motorcycle ride with one of the bikers.

I work for FiOS, but live in a Comcast only area. So disclaimer, personal views.

Most of the close areas of town should be FiOS eligible, unless the building or borough hasn't let them in. Verizon runs a dedicated line all of the way into the residence, where Comcast is just tapping into the main line. Long story short, worst case is Xfinity can slow down when a lot of people in your building/area are all doing stuff online at the same time. Another factor is line condition in your area. If the outside lines are shit, your service can drop. Knock on wood, my comcast has been mostly reliable for 4 years.

The big difference, as stated by annother commenter, is the upload speed. Cable isn't able to give symmetrical speeds like fiber. Thus I am stuck with 1000/40. This will not make a lot of difference for -most- people and they will never notice it, but if you do heavy uploading, such as filehosting, livestreaming, or multiple people VPNing for WfH. you may feel it.

you can go to AAA for a real ID as long as you have the right photo card for it and are ok with waiting up to 15 days to receive it.

I applied for real ID online after getting pre-verified (https://www.dmv.pa.gov/REALID/Pages/REAL-ID-Pre-Verification.aspx) and then took the photo card they mailed me to AAA, then I was mailed the updated card. You might need to go to the DMV if you need to have your documents verified.

Shadyside and Presby are good. West Penn is best in the AHN network. Steer clear of the suburbs if you can and, dear glob, anything but Passavant.

LMAO... What side of the Rivers do you live on?

Yeah I’m Jewish, I know all about not eating chametz. Which is kind of our thing…as is manischewitz

Local Example. Yinz... like what Yinz doing tonight?

Thank you! I’m passing on Pondy and Grand Concourse, hello Texas De Brazil gimme the meats 😂

I hope it is Mercy.

I hope it is not Fucking Presby.

If you're from within 75 miles of Pittsburgh, you should have herd or used the word Yinzer by the time your 1st Steelers game was on the Radio (WDVE) or local TV station.

Not stealing, surviving. A week of unleavened bread every year isn't fun, especially when you go to school and can't eat much. I probably should have just told Mom I was being a good boy.

Horrible- won’t treat any type of pain inpatient or out patient. U see the Hospitalist on an iPad wheeled into ur room. Spent 2 days in ER waiting for bed eating crackers & ginger ale.

I agree with Jefferson. I was just there in June and sat there for 4 days waiting for people to get off their butts. None of the nurses understood why I was still there.

previous thread with more input about Grand Concourse.

My first apartment building let us choose, but they were already wired for both. What was interesting about the fios was that the fibre came into the basement, and from there, it went to each apartment’s individual ONT.

I bring that up to to point out for others that there could be additional logistics involved here. Imagine even more wires than we have now stringing from poles to individual units. What about the less accessible sides of the buildings, etc… So I can see how for certain multi-family dwellings, they would need to set aside a whole spot and have some major utility work done to accomplish sending a new fibre connection to a building. Even more work if stuff needs to run underground. If it’s an old building, even worse. What if they need to route cables through someone else’s apartment just to get to yours, etc? The coax lines have been there for ages though, so sometimes you get what you get. They can bend around corners of buildings all kinds of ways without the kind of degradation in quality you would have on fibre.

That’s part of the issue. The bigger issue is the cost to remove it. Bringing in equipment to lift and haul that boat out will be wicked expensive. I bet $10k it more. Then it needs to be hauled somewhere to be stored. It can’t be scrapped until the paperwork is done. Storage is another cost. Then it will need striped down and made safe to send to a landfill. This is all going to cost a bundle. So here’s the thing: Let’s say you own a towing and recovery company. And the state says “get the boat out of there.” If they don’t pay you up front, your company is on the hook for all that cost. If the owner won’t pay, then you’re stuck with that bill. Sure, they can go after the owner, but if he could or would pay, the boat would already be gone. They can try to force him but that’s going to take a while. And if they win a judgment for the money, the owner of the boat can still skip out on the bill. No recovery company will be willing to touch that until they have cash in hand. And no one wants to lay out the cash.

My daughter makes a vodka sauce that I never thought I'd like, but it's great.

Then was is the best, smartypants?

For anyone that doesn't know Presby has free valet parking for er patients.

What if we took a group of volunteers, drug it over to the launch by Mr Rodgers statue and pulled it onto the concrete and abandoned it there? I would think that could speed up the process.

And just so everyone knows and don’t downvote me- Eat N’ Park Brunch Buffet is actually REALLY GOOD.

No fighting lol.

A high hernia?
