Gas stations and car washes

I said "isn't always true," which is neither calling you a liar nor rude. If that hurt your feelings, I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know of a single retail router that can provide good coverage for 3600sq ft, so idk if that's really a knock on their equipment.

Thanks for the education on the ONT though. My knowledge is completely coax/cat5 networking. I can splice fiber, but that's about all I've had training on.

I had an in-air install in May 2021 when they first came to my area.

Had a new install in October that got delayed due to the change in ownership. They didn't do any worse of a job.

I love Zayka. I know I'm not adding anything to this conversation, but I just wanted to throw it out there that Zayka is awesome. Those samosas are killer

I've been nearly hit by people pulling out on West Bypass 2 or 3 times now. People here are morons.

Nope, and I complain about drivers here as much as anyone, I'll freely admit. And yeah, enforcement is lacking. I still don't think that justifies putting someone's pic up to ridicule them. Apparently I'm in the distinct minority here, though.

I love Cottage Consignments on Glenstone. They have really high quality pieces come by because they are selective. They move inventory fast so follow on fb to see weekly posts.

>there are already laws in place to address this type of careless driving,

Oh boy, first day in Springfield I take it? Laws mean nothing if they're not enforced.

Grew up on the west coast, lived on the east coast for quite a while and have now lived here going on five years, and every time I think I've seen the extent of how bad people can drive, I am proven wrong.

This area consistently has the worst drivers I have ever encountered.

No one is defending careless driving in general, or this example in particular. And putting aside the fact that there are already laws in place to address this type of careless driving, is shame-based behavior modification really what you think is going on here?

Judging by the comments that are getting upvotes, I'd say it's more people venting their frustrations, which I admit are justified, at the person who has been placed in front of them as a target.

We've seen historically how that sort of thing plays out. I'm not comparing anyone here to those historical examples, that would be an absolutely ridiculous comparison in terms of scope and intent. But, if the same dynamic doesn't exist here, a parallel one does.

That seems about right for bed bugs. You can’t just spray for them. The rooms they are located in have to be superheated to kill all of them and their eggs.

My landlord recommended them too. But when I called them they said it would cost like 400 dollars.

Wow. Do a lot of slow driving huh?

>NAVIGATING THE ROADS AT OR NEAR THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT

I will just mention that there is no minimum speed limit on the vast majority of roads in Missouri (the one exception is interstate freeways, which have a marked minimum speed limit).

In all other places, it is completely incumbent on any and every driver to assume that there might be people driving - or bicycling, scootering, tractoring, mail-delivering, horse-drawn carting or doing any of any of 10 dozen other perfectly legal and normal things - at anywhere from 1 mph up to the speed limit.

Someone driving at 10mph or 20 mph on the road is not and should not be especially dangerous and it is not especially unusual. Farm tractors and other farm equipment will drive miles down the road at 10mph or so and everyone just deals with it. It is not illegal and also not especially dangerous.

Especially now that you know, and you are going to drive from here on out with that in the forefront of your mind.

Also, I will point out Missouri law that most drivers like to forget:

>Every person operating a motor vehicle on the roads and highways of this state shall drive the vehicle in a careful and prudent manner and at a rate of speed so as not to endanger the property of another or the life or limb of any person and shall exercise the highest degree of care. 304.012 RSMo

As a motor vehicle driver, you must drive at all times with the highest degree of care.

That is a might high bar.

That means, among other things, that you are driving at all times as though someone may be stopped, or going 10mph, or 20 mph, over any given hill or around any given curve, or at any intersection.

That means, that with the degree of safe driving that you are doing, that those 20mph elderly drivers are in absolutely no danger at all from you, because you are anticipating them and the fact that they - or anyone else - might be going that speed.

Also I will point out, that you will probably want to point out that the slow driver is breaking this law as their super-slow speed is "a rate of speed so as ... to endanger the property of another or the life or limb of any person". This is absolutely wrong and the courts have never held it to mean this. They have, on the contrary, held that there is no minimum speed limit unless that is specifically set.

And what they have held is that driving too fast for conditions - even if under the stated speed limit - is not legal if driving at that too-fast speed endangers others.

Finally I will point out that too-fast driving is responsible for or substantially contributes to a large amount of our traffic deaths and serious injuries. But too-slow driving is such a non-problem as far as traffic safety that no one even bothers to track fatalities and injuries related to it.

High driving speed is a quadruple whammy, as events happen too fast for people to observe and react to, once you do notice something amiss the time for you to react is much shorter, once you do react the high speed makes it much harder to maneuver or brake in time to avoid a crash, and when you do crash higher speeds mean more damage and higher injuries.

Not only are higher speeds worse on all four of those factors, but in fact the problem in each of those four areas grow exponentially with speed. Going twice as fast is not just twice as dangerous, but more like 4X.

Also there is no option to easily filter out sites (YouTube ads) in the C4000XG menu. Has anybody been able to do this?

Wifi coverage with their included router is lacking for my particular house. No easy way to expand coverage, except for repeaters that don’t integrate easily with their garbage equipment.

So, I guess your experience might vary based on house size and what your setup is like. I run a variety of home servers (a NAS, Plex server, a PiHole, among others), have a number of smart devices, and my house is 130+ years old and 3600 square feet. The C4000XG is garbage for a power user or anyone needing a decent amount of wifi coverage.

But saying “what this person says isn’t true,” is just rude. And what you’re calling “the modem” is likely the ONT, which is not a modem at all. It doesn’t handle authentication for their fiber optic network.

Suppose to be on the list to get it, but been waiting for awhile. Utilities were marked but nothing else happened.

I’d really like to have it, faster internet that actually delivers on the promise is what I hear of it.

A lot of people think compassion and enabling are the same thing. As evident on this post.

Your kids shitty ass won't kill somebody or jack around with another person's insurance bill.

What this person is saying isn't always true. I have a separate modem and router, they supplied both, never had any problems.

Edit: it has been pointed out that maybe what I'm calling a modem is actually an ONT. Still, I've not had problems with their equipment, though ymmv in big spaces with lots of users, as always when it comes to wireless protocols.

I have a standalone modem they supplied. Also using their standalone router. Never had any problems.

Same experience here!
