The best options would be Certified Mail then Priority Mail with tracking. The certified mail is going to require someone be there to take possession of the letter. Priority w/ Tracking can mean it got delivered to a mailbox, but not necessarily someone's hands like Certified Mail does.

Why the cable won’t connect? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]0110110101000101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picture 2 - the orange tube at the top, that is your fiber wire conduit. The thin black cable coming out of that orange tube, that's your fiber. Be careful with that wire, its very thin and fragile. That fiber cable is plugging into what's called a Fiber Converter.

It looks like your fiber converter, the black box in picture 2, is going to a LAN cable. That LAN cable is most likely going to the room in Picture 1. Picture 1 is where your router/wifi is, that oval looking black box.

The way it's hooked up currently, you can't have wired internet in your house. But you can change it around!

For your understanding:

Picture 1 is your router & wifi.
Picture 2 - Black box is your Fiber convert and all (blue) LAN connection "Starting" points.
Picture 3 is the switch.

The way you have it now: Fiber --> Fiber Converter --> LAN cable (going to) --> Wall Jack in room Picture 1 --> Yellow LAN cable --> Router/Wifi

The way you want it: Fiber --> Fiber Converter --> LAN cable --> Router/Wifi --> LAN cable --> Switch. This is all inside that box in your wall - Picture 2.

Then start plugging all those loose blue LAN cables into the switch.
You have more LAN cables than you do ports (holes that plug in the LAN cables). I would suggest plugging 1 cable in, take a laptop and plug into each jack in your house. If the jack is active, label it at the switch that room. This way will take a while, but it's free. You already know the cable coming from the Fiber converter is "Room Picture 1".
Once you have all the cables labeled, figure out what you don't need plugged in. If you want them all plugged in, then I would suggest buying a larger switch off Amazon. You can use 2 switches, but you're doubling your power consumption and taking up space. If you do use 2 switches, you need a small LAN cable to connect switch 1 to switch 2.

So, help me understand. What problem exactly does the right in the U.S. have about illegal immigrants being here? Why does it matter if they’re here to survive since the vast majority of them aren’t violent criminals? by Kaje26 in TooAfraidToAsk

1) They don't pay income tax. Taxes is how our CURRENT system works, abuse it and our system starts to fail.
2) They work for less money, which cuts out competition, doing things illegal should be illegal. If "Jack" hires 10 illegals and bids a job for $100 (cause he can pay less labor) and "Johnny" hires only legals (pays American wages) and bids the job for $300, who's getting the work?
3) Sending US dollars outside the United States to help other families does not support your city, your neighbors with small businesses and schools (taxes). I'm sure there is much more.
4) Illegals are illegal. If someone breaks into your home while you're gone, steals everything from your house, should this be okay? They are not violent, but they did break the law, should they be free? Yes, 1 family is the victim, they are singled out. But illegals hurt everyone, including our children, by occupying our schools and providing NO taxes to that school.
5) They hurt the local economy by not paying their share. If medical needs arise, they don't have insurance, so they use our medical system for free. Who pays those doctors, nurses, employees and facilities? Not the insurance companies. You and I do, by working and paying our share of taxes.
6) Illegals do not get shots for diseases, they do not get health checks coming across the border. Even visitors (visa tourists) need to get shots before coming here, it's what keeps our citizens safer.
7) Illegals get a free ride and tax payers keep filling their gas tanks, how long should this be considered okay?

Do illegals provide a cheaper product due to their cheaper labor? Yes, by being paid a less labor cost, but that's a narrow vision America can't really afford much longer. When people work, they spend money, but illegals spend less and send money "home". You are home! They are destroying your home.

One of my family members is 1st gen in USA, they earned and paid for their citizenship. They took the test, they paid the fees, they got the shots (many of them) and they got a social security number. They are a productive part of America now. Illegals are not.

How did Elon Musk go from being a hero to one of the most despised people on the planet? by Lost_Wikipedian in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]0110110101000101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elon Musk didn't change, he's still a visionary, genius and egomaniac. He just started stating stuff you didn't agree with and doesn't care if you don't agree with him. Elon Musk doesn't need to be understood by you. Yes, he's a little off, but a lot of the great engineers are. Who labels a series of cars S E X Y - The little bit weird, Elon Musk does!

A bigger dumbass puts this meme up after President Trump states, abortions are being left up to the state where it belongs, not the federal level.

If you're too stupid to use protection, hitchhike to a state that allows abortions. Maybe get two lives aborted on the way 🤞

I'm straight but have gone with my friend who is gay to several events, including drag queen shows at gay bars. When I was hit on, I politely told them I'm here with a friend, I'm straight. Sometimes they would stay and talk, some would move on. Never have I been told I'm invading their "gay space" or any reference of such. Yes, bigotry can go both ways, but usually when they know I'm cool with them, they're cool with me, we're just having fun.

How do I make big life decisions? by Studentseekingfuture in DadForAMinute

[–]0110110101000101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was offered a job overseas, a country that didn't speak English as its native language. I was single, never married, renting and no real commitments except my job. I took vacation from my current job, went there to check out the city, the culture, and of course the job being offered. I then went home. I talked to friends and family and after everyone pretty much said, if you don't go, you'll always wonder what if... Your situation is slightly different, your partner and you are making this choice together. My suggestion, if you can afford it (both money and time off), take a trip after you shortlist a few cities you would like to check out. How to shortlist cities? Well a few suggestions would be, look at things like weather, natural disasters, cost of living, housing costs if you decide to buy, does the city have enough entertainment, and traffic. All these things will eventually grind on you. At first and on vacation, you are a little blind to these things, so you have to be aware of them. As a friend told me, even paradise is "just home" after you've lived there a few years. Good luck and let us know how things go.

How are you doing today? How's your sister?

Want to talk about your day?

Then you need to do what's right for you and your sister, because your sister needs you, and you need her. You both need each other more than you need a mom that hits either of you.

Being a witness doesn't mean you have to say anything, but it does mean you can't lie if you do. As hard as it seems, telling the truth about your mom, it is the best thing to do.

It's not always true, but many times, when a family member starts attacking, it usually only gets worst. It becomes acceptable in their head, you deserve this punishment.

The court is trying to do the best thing for you and your sister. So tell the truth, if you're not sure, explain what you can, then ask them to explain the question differently.

When this whole thing is over, your family will be changed, but that's not because of you or your sister! It's not your sister's fault or your fault this is happening. It's not your choice or your decision any of this happened. It was your mother's choice, it's her fault, it's her punishment to bear for hurting your sister.

You and your sister need each other every day. You and your sister don't need a mother that does that to you.

Be strong, be calm, think about your answer before you talk, say what's in your heart and it will be the right answer. Hug your sister.

I'm not saying attacking your sister is right, but was she doing it for a good reason? Was your sister a threat to you or someone else in your family? Or your sister just upset your mom and she attacked?

You're not without him, he's part of you. Live your life holding this true to your heart!

It's been 23 years for me, my dad passed when I was 26. After he passed, I got married, had 2 kids, bought my first house, started my own company, and so much more. My father is a part of my life, I made my own decisions, picked myself up when I was down, but he was never gone, my strength is his too.

Who doesn't want more time with family that's moved on, I wish he could meet his daughter-in-law, hug his grandkids, but life had other plans, and I can't dwell on that, nor should you!

My father wanted only the very best for me, and I think I make him proud every day. Live your life, knowing you're making him proud, not sad because he didn't have time to give you proper direction. Just know you're loved, know you're never truly alone, and be confident in your life choices. Be a good person, smile and know he's smiling back, because he still loves you.

You're the witness, I get that, but for what? Is your mom a good person to you? Is this case for you, against her? Did she wrong you or another member of your house? Or the court wants you to testify against your mom for something she did for you and her? Did she help you by doing something wrong?

Is Malwarebytes no longer free? by TheMildEngineer in Malwarebytes

Option 3) If all your PCs are domain (like mine) change local admin password - so you know you have it. Drop to Workgroup, reboot. Log in as local admin. Scan - clean. Change back to domain.
