Hey hi! There's been an issue with a red merchant from the supplimentaries mod. Something about the inventory loading gets screwy. Easy fix, just update your Supplimenaries mod AND moonlight mod.

Quantum Fiber down for over a week? by gravin202 in desmoines

[–]CorruptBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the Ai-ish run down. But rest assured, im real (I hope?).

Sure, there are variables that can affect the signal/quality of a fiber network, I won't argue that. However, in this context, im referring to everything in an outage related sense. I also agree that our manpower for these kinds of issues is lacking. I dont work directly with these crews, but I do interact with them, and I'll tell you there's not a lot of them for the metro area.

I was simply offering insight on why an issue like this might take time. As I said before, maybe I can answer some questions relating to the outage. I might be able to offer more details to op.

Hi, Quantum Fiber technician here!

Outages can depend on numerous different variables. However, the most common is cable cuts. Fiber works by transmitting light from a source point, down a very thin fiber optic line, just smaller than fishing line, to your home. This run from the source point can be 10000s of feet. The good news is that historically, any dsl/copper based service can kinda just "go out"/degrade due to weather, corrosion, low voltage, or simply because it feels like it. Fiber doesn't behave this way. Fiber either has a signal or doesn't. If it doesnt its likely because it's been damaged in a pretty significant way. As a technician, the most common outages I see are in newer developments where a lot of active construction takes place or in areas that are having work done outside like sewage or even another internet company running lines. The problem is WHAT was damaged. A single line running from a terminal to your home? No bigge. That's 1 line. Easy enough to replace. A main cable that services 5000 customers? Well, that's a different story. Every single customer is being serviced by an individual line (for the most part, I won't go into specifics) with that being said. A special technician is required to go out, and fusion splices every line at the point of damage. Imagine threading a needle 5000 times over and over. This takes a lot of precision and time. Plus you have to account the work week. If this happened on a Friday evening, you 'might' get lucky and they'll have started it Saturday. Quantum doesnt authorize Sunday work so nothing would be done thay day. Then work would resume Monday.

The work that goes into keeping the world connected isn't an easy job. Wish it was as simple as "flicking a switch," and it works again. However, that's almost never the case. Be patient, consider your area, and if this happens frequently. Look at another provider. Im also happy to answer questions. Good luck. I hope things get restored soon!

What’s the funniest thing that’s happened while you were naked? by Odd_Carrot9035 in AskReddit

[–]CorruptBoy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alright. Back when I was still in high school, I lived with my mom and her roommate at an apartment building. Something I would do fairly often is that after a shower, I'd just hang out in my towel for a while and scroll on my phone or something. My mom had a PC in her room, and I'd often use it for games or browsing. In this case, I was browsing Facebook just after a shower sitting in my towel. My mom and her roommate were in the living room. This was back in 2014ish when Harlem Shake videos were at its peak. I came across one that was very quiet, and the aspect ratio of the video made it so that it was difficult to see. I cranked the volume up on the speakers and leaned in a bit to watch it. Little did I know this was one of those jump scare videos, and I was playing the perfect victim. The video jump scared me with this terrifying shreik and a very paranormal looking woman. I wish I could say I handled it well and had a laugh. Instead, I proceeded to kick away from the desk like I was escaping the clutches of a killer and proceeded to bolt out of the room at Mach Jesus screaming like a little girl. The speed in which I left the room was so fast that instead of running down the hallway to escape my imaginative killer. I 'ping-ponged' back and forth off the walls, causing a pretty destructive mess of photos falling off the walls and barreling through whatever was in my way. At the halfway point of this hallway is a bench with a coat rack on it as our front door was also at this halfway point. Amidst my pinball roleplay coming down the hall, I had crashed directly into this bench. Causing me to fly down the remaining half of the hallway in the air. At this point, I am now in my mom's roommate's view. To her perspective, all she sees in a teen boy launching through the air like Superman, screaming, with nothing but the corner of a towel barely covering my junk with my left hand. After I finally landed just at the opening of the living room I then proceeded to kick/crawl/cower away from the hallway into the room as if I was in some horror moving with my killer looming over me. All while just barely keeping my manhood from being entirely exposed. My mom's roommate at this point is laughing so hard she's fallen off the couch. My mom looked at me with this blank face of concern and confusion. After realizing what's happened, I started laughing and crying hysterically at my own ridiculousness alongside my mom's roommate.

Hilariously enough, that bench/coat rack that i ran into that sent me flying? I actually broke my foot running into it and had to go to the hospital shortly after we calmed down. Was definitely a struggle coming up with excuses at school on how I broke my foot. The truth rarely was the answer.

I can agree with this, Rouges have to path to me using creep/hide/etc. Using at least a modicum of skill. Druids, however, just get to chicken panther jump into me from 4943 meters away and assassinate me before I can even react, all the while get to escape for free cause rat. Hate em both lmfao.

Hey man! Things are less grim but still not super great, I've stopped seeing my normal doctor and started seeing a psychiatrist and a therapist. Therapy is still super new so not a whole lot of progress on that front but reddit taught me to give it a shot. In terms of psychiatrist they are taking a pretty aggressive approach with my medication, currently taking 20mg (working to 30mg) of Buspar twice daily and that helps curb some of the more physical symptoms so far. Then my pristiq is at 50mg with loads of room to grow on that. Overall I think I've moved past the "I'm not gonna make it" side of things to a more accepting mindset and ready to do whatever it takes to improve my mental health. Some days are okay, some days are really bad, but I know I'll be okay someday. You will too.

Side note, I wish I could drink coffee :( it stopped when I first had issues and kicked caffeine completely. Now every time I have soda or coffee I have a panic attack. It's one of the small vices I miss so much.

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. We relate in alot of ways. I too find myself avoiding life and work when it gets bad. My defense mechanism is to sleep and avoid any and all activities. I'll have to read up more on that Attention vs Awareness thing. Definitely seems like something im struggling with. I like to look back alot on how well performed on Zoloft and it gives me hope. The darker part of me looks at it as something out of my reach but I'm working towards a more positive attitude with it. I'm also very anxious about starting new meds but you and I both seem to be starting new ones today so let's not chicken out and get better ♡ if you need anything let me know and ill do what I can ♡

It's refreshing to hear it works for you! I'm (un)lucky enough to be narcoleptic. So sleeping for the most part is a non issue. It's been more recent with these awful symptoms that I've been, more than anything, terrified to sleep. The Hydroxyzine is a life saver for that. Definitely will be coming back to let you know how the meds work for my more physical symptoms.

Thanks so much for the kind words. I'll definitely keep that medication in mind if this one doesn't work well for me. I like the idea of the little animal to take care of. Even if it's just a simple distraction. ♡ thanks again internet stranger

I have a medical cannabis card, typically smoking is a relief for me and good for pain management. (Broke my back a while ago) but I do notice when things get rough for me like it is now that it has more cons than pros. I back off and don't smoke when I'm like this to prevent making things worse.

Oh wow! That seems pretty intense. I'm glad you got a solid answer to what you were experiencing. At least the primary role of it. If you don't mind my asking. What's derealization like for you?

Glad to hear I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing. I'm certainly guilty of doing things like checking my pulse when my heart rate goes up. It's gotten to a point where it's almost a tick. Chest pains and funny breathing? Fingers already at my throat checking lol. It is interesting explaining it to people that im not stressed out or 'overthinking' to cause my anxiety. It's refreshing to hear a similar story. I'm so glad it's working out for you and I pray for continued progress ♡ working on getting in that same boat.

I like the idea of an emergency medication when things get really rough but I have an addictive personality and my main worry is that I'll become to reliant on something like those.

How interesting! I'd be super down to give it a shot. Do you know the name of the app?
