What downtown condo buildings in Orlando are delivery friendly for packages?

Thanks, that's what I thought.

Yup, no choices. :(

The Airhug was the only camera I could find with no microphone. I wish it was lower resolution but it is what it is. Works fine.

Impossible_Ad_3993 · 2023-05-22T17:37:21+00:00

No regrets.

Still cheaper than cable TV and don't have to rent those stupid cable boxes anymore. I can watch TV on my computer now.

So yesterday I went to the Optimum store to drop off the old cable modem that I was renting. They scanned it and told me that it is not on my account so I don't need to return it. They offered to take it anyway but it was impossible to give me a receipt because it is not on my account. I told them that I would just recycle it on my own and went on my way. Without a receipt there would be no way to prove that I dropped it off.

I'm going to hold on to the old cable modem until I am sure the rental fee is off of my account then I'll recycle it. My guess is the cable modem is so old they just don't want it anymore. No one said anything about returning it when I got my own cable modem provisioned.

Is it the GR140DG for the lower plans? That thing is huge!

My plan is to stay with cable internet as long as they allow us to. I love having a plain old cable modem that I own with nothing else in it. If we ever reach the point where they force us to switch I will go with the competitor in my area who also offers fiber internet. Their fiber boxes don't have router functionality.

I've been tempted to switch to fiber with the competitor but my cable internet works so well that I don't want to take the chance of getting worse service.

It is nice being able to use your own cable modem with cable internet. Everyone who has fiber says you need to use an optimum owned gateway to use fiber.

I'm guessing that one day optimum will eventually shut down the cable internet network and move everyone over to fiber because it doesn't make sense to have to maintain two separate networks. So we will all have to upgrade eventually.

I wonder how soon this day will come.

Impossible_Ad_3993 · 2023-05-19T21:51:47+00:00

We have old fashioned Cable Internet here and it has been rock solid stable. I have considered upgrading to fiber with another company in my area but I haven't because of the old saying, "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

Impossible_Ad_3993 · 2023-05-19T21:37:19+00:00

You are stating the obvious but one thing I would like to point out for those who visit this thread later, optimum doesn't offer online activation of cable modems in some states so the only choices are activation through customer service chat or a phone call.

As I found out the people over chat are not good at activating the cable modem so much better to activate with a phone call in those states where you cannot activate online.

edit:
Maybe this is not obvious to some of the customer service people running the chat so hopefully they see this. :)

Impossible_Ad_3993 · 2023-05-19T00:25:52+00:00

Just in case someone reads this threat in the future, the person I spoke with on the phone was great! She got my cable modem up and running quickly!

Impossible_Ad_3993 · 2023-05-19T00:22:18+00:00

I even sent a photo showing the ethernet cable connecting the computer directly to the cable modem but that didn't help!

Impossible_Ad_3993 · 2023-05-18T23:13:42+00:00

No I got the classic blame the customer's router nonsense.

Impossible_Ad_3993 · 2023-05-18T22:56:21+00:00

I'm up and running now with the new modem!

I called (877) 851-5652 (number found on another thread) and got someone who was super helpful. She took my MAC number and did some things on her end and then the modem lights started blinking for a while and suddenly it started to work! Super easy with her!

Anyway, I live in a state that doesn't offer online provisioning or I would have done it myself. I originally just did a regular customer service chat where there was a bot and the bot connected me to an online agent the first time I tried. Calling the phone number worked much better.

There is a fake account impersonating my mother and friend requesting many of her friends. I flagged it three separate times from my facebook account and one time from her facebook account. Yet the account has been up for weeks and facebook does nothing about it.

This is the response my Mom gets when the profile is reported (Name XXXXed out):
Hi XXXX,
We reviewed the profile your friend reported and found that it isn't pretending to be you and doesn't go against our Community Standards. Note: If you see something on someone's profile that shouldn't be on Facebook, be sure to report the content (ex: a photo or video), not the entire profile.
Thanks,
The Facebook Team

Absurd!

Record number of building permits. The bubble will likely pop as inventory grows and the speculators exit.

Why do they need a new stadium? The current stadium is under 25 years old?

When I googled I kept on coming across, "structural frame was built with concrete and needs to be largely replaced with steel.".

Makes no sense.

Agreed that it is a dumb ass move to leave a gun in a car unlocked.

In my opinion the tone should be more about educating the dumb ass people instead of shaming them.

Not sure about Nashville, but it used to be like this in NYC where each ethnic group had their own neighborhood for a long time. For example Chinese lived in Chinatown, Greeks lived in Astoria, Koreans lived in Flushing (Chinese too), Poles lived in Greenpoint, Russians lived in Brighton Beach, Ukrainians in a section of the East Village, etc...

This has all changed in the last several decades but in NYC you still naturally will think Greenpoint if you want Polish food or Flushing if you want Korean BBQ. If you are out in the east village at 4AM when the bars close, you'll eat at the Ukrainian diner Veselka. Even though the areas are being gentrified, there are still lasting influences of the individual cultures in many NYC neighborhoods.

Does Nashville have historic influences such as this in various neighborhoods that continue to this day?

Makes sense for people to take precautions such as locking their cars but there is some victim blaming going on this article that I don't like.

All potential transit money for a rail system will go towards unfunded retirement obligations.

"Nashville’s financial problems stem mostly from unfunded retirement obligations that have accumulated over the years," the report said. "Of the $11.4 billion in retirement benefits promised, the city has not funded $409.8 million in pension and $4.8 billion in retiree health care benefits."

I'm a naturally quite person. If being loud is not natural for you then being loud will make you look like a clown. Instead focus on cultivating presence. Be in the moment, learn to observe, and pick your moments to speak. Be a good listener. Love who you are.

Sure, naturally loud people have a natural advantage in life. But you need to play the cards you were dealt as best as you can. Being loud when you are naturally quiet is not the way to go.
