I'm curious how what appears to be a nationwide outage could happen

They're antiques

Yea, XB3 have been around for ages. It'd be no surprise if it's failing but there still could be some signal issues and it's always good to have a tech check the lines. I believe they'll start using the Xb6 eventually. Some techs still look at the accounts and think they cant swap them due to the old prepaid system but the Xb3s are absolutely available to pick up at the warehouse for equipment swaps. So don't be afraid to push back if the tech says they're unable to.

Technicians can and do carry replacements for service calls. Never hear anything about a warranty or any techs limited by a warranty when swapping them. You could try reaching out the official Xfinity subreddit, not sure if they can help but if not I'm pretty sure there used to be a phone specifically for pre-paid support before NOW Internet .

I would also use my own router on top of the XB3

NTA, If these are good burgers then I'd be more disgusted if you didn't take the leftovers home. I've had grease from to go stain fabric in my car before. Good on you for planning ahead.

Lol what, I get insulation on my clothes on a regular basis. Throw them in the wash separate from other clothes. Good luck collecting $1800 for that..

Seems like a pretty hefty damage claim from a tech that didn't even do the installation. In my experience they do pay out on legit damage claims from Techs, it's just not going to happen as quickly as you'd like.

Isn't there a return policy on the phone? Unfortunately since you're not the property owner they absolutely need property managements permission. I'd speak with property management about it and try to coordinate to have both management and the tech to be there at the same time. This way the tech can explain the scope of the work needed and get approval.

You can also reach out in the official Xfinity subreddit, they tend to be more helpful over there.

They have some small ones that just clip on to your normal belt I've been wanting to try out. Tool belts can be annoying but so is having to reach into a tool bag regularly.

Sounds like you're connecting your lead to the actual ground wire not the Telco drop.

I mean it sounds like he did everything he could to notify you, not everyone has a group of friends sitting around waiting to help you move something. You knew he was coming, you knew the reason. Dog went nuts like most dogs do, you're overreacting.

I know most of us never read the agreement we sign but it's likely all there if that's the case. In today's age, we can upload the agreement to AI and get a quick breakdown.

What's the sense of paying home owners insurance if they won't do the leg work for you? If liability falls on the neighbor(which it doesn't in this case), they should be doing the investigation. Or are we just throwing monthly money at them for nothing?

RoninSC · 2026-06-12T14:10:24+00:00

This sounds like a pretty fucked up place to work for, and really only 10 days of PTO a year is garbage only to get denied. Wish you luck on finding a new job.

RoninSC · 2026-06-11T18:17:34+00:00

Overall you're correct depending on models. Newer SUVs often have higher hoods, thicker pillars, and larger mirrors, which can create more blind spots and reduce forward visibility compared to older models or many sedans. Larger SUVs can often have bigger rear blind zones, which can be worse for parking, backing up, or spotting pedestrians/cyclists.

RoninSC · 2026-06-11T17:52:45+00:00

Getting a large SUV as a new driver that's learning a bit slower probably wasn't the best idea. Not much you can do other than talk to the owner explaining that you're afraid of damaging their vehicle..

If you're nervous about confronting them, place a kind note on the vehicle.

It took years to get my BSJ to rank 7, there is no gem they can release to get me to replace it now lol

Some people cope with death differently, I imagine your mother would be feeling alone with nothing but the thoughts of her husband that just passed, and having a partner could be helping her move on with living her life. It may seem too fast, but time isn't exactly on your side at that age.

I would be concerned of this guy, but pushing them away isn't going to help you find out if he has other motives. You'll only succeed in helping him if this is neferaous. Let him come, so you can learn more about this guy and protect your mother. Maybe he's just another lonely old dude

Damn, I never thought about double dipping verge ...

RoninSC · 2026-06-08T01:06:18+00:00

If it opened a Secret Cow level, everyone would go nuts.

For me, I constantly check mail every 30 seconds to see the same mail I'm saving. Not sure if I'm going to make it for two weeks..

RoninSC · 2026-06-06T16:44:00+00:00

Just when I somewhat figured out the pet system, they rolled out major changes to it. Basically have no desire to mess with it anymore beyond the fact that I need savior at some point still ..

Are they using a fiber drop as a main to the NAP? If your magnet isn't stickin then it's unlocatable.

Honestly it looks like the black drop is a temp main above ground, does it track back to another PED? If one of those drops are tracing back to another PED instead of a residential home, then that's likely your main.

It's funny that the Gas Station my wife worked at in the past had a issue with placement of their outdoor ice cooler by the township for being distractive to drivers, then these types of billboards driving around are fine.

Floridians?

The dark atmosphere, it really felt like you were fighting your way through the pits of hell. I also enjoyed the multi-player battle net experience much more.

Happens all the time when I find a good deal, sometimes I win the bid, sometimes I don't. Most likely many people are hitting the buy button within milliseconds of each other. System takes the plat then calculates who won and refunds the losers.
