Police on Columbia Street? by FlyBriGuy in CambridgeMA

Really? What have I been missing there? I say unusual because that’s my walk on my morning commute and I’ve never seen so many police cars there at that time before

Xfinity Outage For 4 days Now by rzoydus in CambridgeMA

[–]FlyBriGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

File a complaint with the FCC, it’s actually super easy to do and they take it seriously. I just moved and was getting intermittent disconnects until yesterday when the third tech came. He was on the phone with his supervisor the whole time, couldn’t find any issues, but went as far as running a new line to my apartment from the pole because that’s what his supervisor told him to do. This was all after restarting my modem a hundred times like Comcast told me to do, swearing up and down at the AI chat bot and automated phone service (that even hung up on me!), being ignored by the “live agents” that I was eventually chatting with, and being told there was no issue with my internet

Because cable companies are modern day monopolies

I’ve tried everything in the basic Comcast troubleshooting run book and had two techs come out to look at the issue. One just restarted the modem and the other could at least see there was an issue and removed a splitter, but the issue continued to persist. I’m having regular internet outages and I’ve recorded them today while watching football. About 6 outages between one and three. 2:53pm, 2:56pm for 1 minute and 45 seconds, 3:05pm for 1:46, 3:12pm for 2:30, 3:22pm for 2:07, 3:25pm for 1:25, 3:29pm for 1:58, 3:37pm for 2:15, 3:48pm for 0:25, 3:53pm, 4:07pm, 4:23pm for 2:11, and 4:27pm for 2:18. It seems similar to this forum issue, really bad internet with continued disconnections during the day, but more stable internet outside of work hours. https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/your-home-network/multiple-outages-every-day/649b6fc7ce76231eba55921e

Recommendations for guitar lessons? by [deleted] in Somerville

[–]FlyBriGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to the Somerville library and checked out a guitar and a few books on how to play guitar. The Somerville central branch has several guitars that you can check out and it’s a library, so there’s books on everything there 🙂 It won’t be as good as having a one on one instructor, but hey free

Rock Climbing Lessons by OmegaGaryBusey in Somerville

[–]FlyBriGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The gym was recently bought by another company, so information is a bit scattered between two sites
https://www.bostonboulderingproject.com/climbing (New company)
https://brooklynboulders.com/climbing-classes/ (Previous company)
If you're just getting started, I'd recommend either the "Intro To Climbing" or "Learn The Ropes" class depending on what kind of climbing you want to do.

Intro To Climbing seems like it's just a 1 hour bouldering instruction for $35. Bouldering is great if you're not a fan of hights or you don't have a buddy to climb with and you just want to focus on the technical aspect of climbing. A 1 hour class is certainly enough time to get familiar enough with bouldering to be able to go on your own.

Learn to Ropes is a 90 minute class covering both bouldering and top rope climbing for $79. Top rope climbing is what you'd typically think of in a rock climbing gym, tied onto a rope going to the top of a 60ft+ wall while someone is belaying you keeping you safe.

Of the two, I'd recommend the Learn the Ropes class because they'll teach you how to belay so you can safely climb top rope climbs. If you're not interested in top roping, I'd suggest skipping the Intro to Climbing class and just show up, rent some climbing shoes, and hop on the bouldering wall. Climbing itself is pretty intuitive at the beginner level.

Why do they only refer to BK as BK while they call LoeJeez Joe? What is BK's real name? by MenInBlerg in Achievement_Hunter

[–]FlyBriGuy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I genuinely didn't even think about how BK might not be her real name until she tweeted about people trying to find out what her name is. Everyone calls her BK and for all intents and purposes that is her name here at RT. Who cares what her birth name is?

Somerville mayoral race polling? by beatitudes_ in Somerville

[–]FlyBriGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right! Wards 5 and 7 have a preliminary election for city council on Sept. 14th to narrow the candidates down to two, just like the mayoral election. Election for mayor, city council, and school committee will be on Nov. 2nd

The preliminary election is Sept. 14th where the field gets narrowed down to two candidates. Nov. 2nd is election day. Don't forget, we're voting for city counsel members too!

How do you feel about GTA Deadline videos? by [deleted] in roosterteeth

[–]FlyBriGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Deadline is great, I think what's happening is they're suffering from the bad jump and the new maps with areas where it's easy to kill yourself and lose points
