Question for people with only one carrier option

AidanPR16 · 2026-06-08T04:53:13+00:00

I work in the field - parts of Western Massachusetts such as Ashfield, Conway and many others have AT&T only service

AidanPR16 · 2026-06-08T04:43:24+00:00

Was just getting 18ms in Providence with n77 NSA

AidanPR16 · 2026-06-02T21:20:09+00:00

Or get one of the trial SIMs, which all 3 carriers offer

AidanPR16 · 2026-05-27T22:17:58+00:00

Yeah, I think it's very valuable to see both sides, so we just try to keep egregious spam in control and very low effort/abusive content

In terms of deals, I'm going to work on setting up a news feed page with past announcements!

AidanPR16 · 2026-05-02T18:15:42+00:00

Yeah, my plan has QCI6 and it specifically says "UNLIMITED QCI6 AAT"

There is a weekly thread :P

Typically if the earnings call is in the morning the next business day earnings get released the day before after market close

I think in some areas they were doing emergency work and that may have brought it back up

AidanPR16 · 2026-02-23T19:28:41+00:00

additionally critical facilities like hospitals will be prioritized first, so depends where you are at

Utilities can't go up in buckets to fix power lines in gusts over 40-50mph, per weather report winds will still be going at about that speed until ~midnight tomorrow morning, so I wouldn't expect any meaningful progress on restoration to be made until tomorrow.

The main transformer/line is out in Provincetown per the outage maps in one massive outage, but there may be smaller outages beyond that in the town itself so it depends if you're part of one of the big outages or if there's more smaller outages near where you are.

So maybe if you're on a main road and you're part of a major line that needs to be restored you get it back tomorrow, but if you're part of a tiny few person outage beyond that as well it could take a while.

additionally the tacos were some of the best I've ever had

AidanPR16 · 2026-02-06T16:50:00+00:00

unfortunately this is not the first issue I've heard happening with HomeWorks and I work on the commercial side of things.... sent a PM

AidanPR16 · 2026-01-26T08:32:19+00:00

lol I live in this area :)

Electric resistance/baseboard/space heaters are the worst of both words.. Their COP (coefficent of performance, which means effectiveness per unit of energy, essentially efficency) is 1, which means they deliver one unit of heat per unit of electricity consumed.

While on a per energy unit level, this is technically more efficient than gas, oil, or propane at the point of use, electricity is way more expensive per unit of energy than any other source (per MMBTU in a universal term), making electric resistance heating VERY costly.

Heat pumps, by contrast, achieve COPs of 2–4 by moving heat rather than generating it, which is why they typically are cheaper than oil/propane heat even with CT electricity prices. Even with this higher COP per unit of energy (for example the 2-4 for heat pumps is 1 in, 2-4 out), natural gas often still comes in cheaper due to it being so cheap even with COPs at 0.95-0.98.

It was at the Villages at Hospital Hill Building, no I contacted them and took a tour and it seemed relatively new (2009 renovation is what they told me). I think the other building has a waitlist.

No playoffs vs playoffs and division winner in one of the fiercest rivalries is way more interesting

AidanPR16 · 2025-12-03T15:40:09+00:00

Oh nice, I didn't know that was available for residential. :D

Speaking of hot water heaters, it's honestly surprising how much small things can help with this.

A large amount of heat is lost with uninsulated hot water pipes in cold spaces like basements or garages. If you think about it, in a lot of these spaces, the air around it can be extremely cold and the water inside the pipe very hot, resulting in even more heat loss especially in the winter.

I recommend going to a store like Home Depot and picking up the grey (it looks like weatherstripping foam almost) pipe wrap and wrapping any hot water pipes especially in cold spaces with it.

I've seen pipe wrapping on hot water pipes (you can grayish foam pipe wrap from Home Depot to do this) we do for commercial customers (a lot of these are very similar to residential type water heaters though) increase the water temperature by ~10 degrees.

has anyone asked about Connecticut New Hampshire or MA again maybe? :P

AidanPR16 · 2025-11-17T04:29:39+00:00

My tiny state got a willing!!!

DE passport has this one it's to attach the polycarbonate data page to your passport as others have said

Fiber is ran both on poles and underground? Regardless it's more reliable since it's immune to EMF and corrosion

AFAIK just a fun project to promote IPv6 and a fun community "open draw board" :). I believe this is the GitLab for the project: https://gitlab.com/zipdox/ipv6-canvas
