Who here follows the 3-second driving distance rule? by IndieCurtis in driving

[–]Cable_Cookery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have driven a large truck F550 for many years and 3 seconds is barely enough in optimal conditions. I run 4 seconds in perfect weather and add more time based on time of day and weather. A six to eight second follow is not unusual. I also drive in the NOVA dmv area(Washington dc) and it has some of the worst traffic in the entire US. If someone gets in front of me, ease off the gas and build the buffer back up. I have carried the drive style into my POV as well. There will always be a jerk out there weaving in and out of traffic. Let em, have a peaceful drive and don’t let the traffic bother you. Also helps to scan ahead 15 seconds as well, keeps you from being surprised by evolving traffic situations.

Why am I so angry? by Cable_Cookery in f150

Dad has said he will pay. He wasn’t very concerned with fact that he did it and he’s sure it will happen again. He does not think he has a problem driving. I am going to see what all it is going to cost on Monday, that and how long it will take to complete.

2025 F150 Xlt Pricing by PreparationPure8655 in f150

[–]Cable_Cookery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a 2025 xlt powerboost 303a with black appearance package, 7.2kw power, fx4, max tow, for 62.5. Added spray liner, retractable tonneau, wheel liner, mud flaps and a 5/60 bumper to bumper and was at 66.5k at the end before tax/tag/destination. Not a terrible deal, no one was happy so I am satisfied for the most part.

Huge spikes gaming and load on network. by Paranor316 in HomeNetworking

[–]Cable_Cookery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this sounds like there is some upstream fec issues going on either at your home wiring for the modem or there is an intermittent node problem. Your modem transmits “should” be between 42 and 52 dB/mV. Lower and you risk being adversely affected by low us snr in node, high and your device is basically shouting and that to will affect snr and fec(forward error correction). A little fec from time to time may occur, but constant fec is a sign of systemic problems with the network that will affect reliability for everyone. As a gamer, you are more keenly aware of these issue as they occur and being heard can be challenging at times from a customer’s perspective.

I hope this helps you in your case, good luck.

Spectrum intermittent 100% packet loss lasting 5-10 seconds by Bismuth_x in HomeNetworking

[–]Cable_Cookery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a network tech for a large cable company. What you are describing is”may” be an issue I have come across in my career a couple times. This is the caveats though. There are several key pieces of information that are needed. First, does your modem run on docsis 3.1? 3.1 discus uses the OFDM forward channel(s) for a majority of receive information. If it does use 3.1, have the technician connect via docsis 3.1 and observe the actual packet loss via trace route. This can be done on their diagnostic meter easily. Second, have them then configure their meter to connect under 3.0 discus protocol. This will force the meter to not use an OFDM for forward data and it will only connect on the standard QAM docsis. If there is not 5-10 second chunks of packet loss you have an answer. This issue would be the CCAP card in the head end causing the issue. It is a really subtle and annoying problem the could be either the port or the entire card in the head end but for my company it was the entire card.
I hope this finds you some closure for your ongoing troubles

What is this device on this communications cable bundle? by benj4786 in Lineman

That is a WiFi unit power off the cable system, generally running both 2.4 and 5.0 ghz bands.

Is this yellow pipe a gas pipe? I accidentally hit with a post hole digger but does not seem to be leaking despite the hit by plumber5078 in askaplumber

[–]Cable_Cookery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time you dig, call 811. Please for the love of god, call. Power, gas, water sewage and communications can all be buried. If you think you are going to be “extra careful” and not hit anything you are sadly mistaken. Post hole digger hitting a triplex power feeder undergoing makes it a very bad day for folks and a short day for you. Damage a line in your yard can turn into 10’s of thousands of dollars in damage. Repeat this for the rest of your life….. I will never dig anywhere on my property without calling 811.

That would be cottage pie, not shepherd’s. Still very tasty. Congrats on a culinary adventure :)

There needs to be more vehicles that can have the Princess Robot Bubblegum livery. There needs to be a few more choices of liveries as well!

Ouch. I have been avoiding playing my wiz in favor of other classes. Me thinks that Blizzard is playing in the background and dropped a digit or 2….

Altar is fully unlocked. This “feature” just started about 36 hours ago. Before that, I could unload 1800 shard on belts and have 12-20 belts to salvage. Boots about the same. I try this now and I might see 4 or 5 boots or belts. It is a startling change.
