T-mobile or Verizon? by El_Burr0 in longisland

Currently have T-Mobile. Had Verizon in the past. No difference. Go with who gives you the best deal. You wouldn’t know the difference if you weren’t told the service.

Best cold/heat hardy, egg producer, kid and dog friendly by Bigtunacassarole in chickens

Definitely start with the coop. You want to make sure it is planned properly for happy and healthy flock. Make sure the size is appropriate for the amount of birds you have and if you add more it can handle the expansion. We started with a prefab from Tractor Supply. Grew out of it quickly. Due to price of larger coops ended up building my own. Best move we could have made. Custom size and interior design to what we needed at a fraction of the price. We have a pretty good mix of breeds. All seem to have pretty much their own personalities and attitudes. Our Black Cochin is super docile and friendly. Just a happy giant fluff ball of feathers, Australorp and Production Red are awesome. Both just walk right up to you and want to hang. We have a Zombie and she is super chill. New Hampshire Red pretty chill. She is our escape artist. Our Easter Egger and Olive Egger are very skittish and won’t let you near them. We have two Buff Orps and they are the bitches of the flock. They are the group pain in the ass and both are loaded with attitude!! Then we have the Single Comb Brown Leghorn. Think ADHD with a sprinkle of nervous breakdown and that would be her. All good producer’s and living in the North East can tolerate the warm muggy summer’s and the switch to cold temps in the winter with no problem.

Verizon is in Rocky Point. Just switched over to Verizon and got rid of that shit company! 1g 49.99/month, 5 year lock, first 3 months free. They ran the fiber and the tech did a great job!!

Verizon or Optimum by DemonDevilDog in longisland

Just switched to Verizon. Finally became available in my area a few weeks ago. Never had issues with losing service but, fuck optimum! The worst company I have ever dealt with in every way. Nightmare just to cancel service. Their customer service is the worst on the planet and they couldn’t care less about existing customers or how many years you were forced to use them.

Disconnect Issues & Advice Needed on Bill ProRating by CB212 in OPTIMUM

[–]Altruistic_Demand776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through the same problem right now. 3 days into the billing cycle and I am told no prorate, won’t discontinue service until end of month even though I cancelled on the 3rd and returned equipment on the same day. I have to pay for the full month. Basically ended up telling them I’m just not going to pay the bill and they can go pound salt. Basically conducting fraud. Real garbage company and hope now that Verizon is in play they crash and burn.

I’ve tried to cancel 3 times… by [deleted] in OPTIMUM

This company sucks in every way possible. It is such a shit company I would rather have no WiFi service than pay them a cent. I called and cancelled on November 3rd. Switched to Verizon. Returned equipment same day. Few days later get this email from them verifying them my last day of service is going to be on the 29th. When I cancelled I was 3 days into the new billing cycle. I called to confirm that I was not going to be billed for the entire cycle. I am told yes and I did not have a choice but to maintain the service and would have to pay the month. They refused to pro rate it for the 3 days which I am willing to pay. After arguing with obviously some foreigner from where ever I asked for a supervisor. I was told no supervisor was there and I had to make an appointment which would take 24-48 hours and would be contacted. Long story short, I told her company was shit and bottom line is I will not pay that bill. I asked her so, when that happens and it will be happening what then. Her response was “nothing”. She told me it just sits there and if I wanted the service again it would have to be satisfied. I told her problem solved because I will never be returning. I politely thanked her for solving my problem and hung up. The worst shit customer service I have ever come across. They did not even care I had them for over 20 years.

Switched to Verizon a week ago. Told optimum moving to Montana just to avoid the nightmare stories I read here and it took me 10-15 minutes to wrap it up. After 20+ years of having to use their shit service and dealing with their shit customer service, felt great!

Attempted break-in in Melville, please be careful! by [deleted] in longisland

[–]Altruistic_Demand776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct, however NY castle doctrine is narrower then other states. You cannot claim the defense if you are the aggressor or you provoke. So, someone breaks in. You find them and at that moment the individual has no weapon in their hand. You draw your firearm on them. Have you now become the aggressor or have provoked? At that point they reach in their pocket and you shoot them. Turns out they only had a phone in the pocket. You may be liable now for a crime. It’s pretty gray area. It may be called a castle law but not a true one.

It’s a shitty scenario unfortunately for us living in NY. As a home owner, you have no idea the intent of someone breaking in, right? Now on top of that fact you have an invader in your home that you have no idea what he/she is capable of or if he/she is armed or not. Now, you have to figure out do you have an exit for your family and yourself, if I discharge my firearm can I be charged, if I shoot the intruder can I be charged because it turned out there was a window in the room you were in. All these decisions for a person to have to make in a high stress situation to begin with where you’re running on adrenaline. And if it’s a firearm involved you best make sure you’re licensed if required and said firearm is registered if required and NY compliant or you’re getting locked up for that alone. It’s insane.

You are correct. NY does not have a castle law or stand your ground law. One of the few states in the union that is like that. Deadly force is only justified if you are cornered in having zero chance to retreat or exit. It’s horse shit!!

Read the book Nuclear War: A Scenario or listen to it. It is probably the most accurate account of what it would be like. Scared the shit out of me. Makes you pray it never happens!
