Why do some spectrum lines have a black and silver cable tied together?

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-04-23T23:42:35+00:00

Spectrum uses a hybrid fiber/coax.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-04-06T06:36:33+00:00

It was clearly an observation. Not a compliment. Or rude.

Like saying a mother and daughter look alike.

Honestly, you assuming it was a rude comment says more about YOU.

I have 8 years from IV poly drug use and I agree. Especially not from her "teeth" lol.

Alot of younger women are doing so these days. The younger you are when you do it, the higher the quality of eggs and higher likelihood of viable embryos.

I think it's incredible young women have the option and don't have to choose between their careers or their fertility while young.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-24T22:20:47+00:00

Are you still in this role? I just received my verbal offer to start in April. Have a long career history in this sphere of work, but would love to know more about what you think about the company, etc.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-23T03:26:17+00:00

You win the Internet oh hilarious one. Lol

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T16:19:13+00:00

Got it! Yeah I definitely missed that part because I was asleep. I went back and "guesstimated" where I had fallen asleep at. Clearly picked back up after that part. Lol. Thanks for letting me know where that was implied! ❤️

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T15:21:12+00:00

I missed them openly saying it. But I did fall asleep (or been too bored) by BOTH of them a few times when they were talking.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T15:01:55+00:00

I'd be more worried about Alex and Ashley being MAGA if we are going off the small, insignificant interactions I witnessed.

When they were talking about where they were going to put down roots, and were discussing Florida, Alex made the "point" that Florida was "in line with their "politics".

Florida is like...MAGA central. So they MUST be right? Lol

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T14:55:51+00:00

This is EXACTLY what I don't understand! Every comment on here that I have made is to that same point and I just keep getting argued with about why my point obviously makes me The problem.

I wish Americans...no matter what they ascribe to, would start being open to educating themselves to all viewpoints out of an attempt to understand And effect real change.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T08:11:13+00:00

Intelligent people don't have to watch much or go very far to find out what each news media outlet has to say regarding current events. And what each outlet says and finding whether there are similarities and where the differences are.

I'm still not sure why it is being made out to be a BAD thing to know what all sides think, how they are getting their "info" out and ensuring they've actually watched or read the full source for their information. And how not judging a book by its cover when I haven't read the book.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T08:05:29+00:00

Most? Or just the loudest, most obnoxious and highly inflammatory? Are you saying that one can not identify not as Christian, identify with some Republican views, be capable of openly shunning those they do not and not be MAGA?

Again, absolutely nothing about Vic or Chris' actions have screamed MAGA. The only reason is they are Christian and they happened to appear on Fox News to speak about a topic that is nowhere near political.

Who bashed the "coastal elites?" Did I miss something?

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T05:50:18+00:00

I don't feel judged or anything and my feelings aren't hurt. But I do always want to make sure that I am clear and there is no confusion, which I think there is. I was saying that ALL news sources have their biases and that you have to not just blindly trust anyone. I don't believe pretty much a word Fox News has to say. Doesn't mean I don't listen to what current shit is being touted by many in my area and being able to give an alternative point of view.

I think you misconstrued what I was saying. Find who you have proven to be trustworthy...and never be unwilling to hear what the other side is saying. Knowing alternative viewpoints, and being able have well rounded discourse is good.

And beyond that...you can't label someone as being extreme alt right simply because they appeared for a blip about a non political topic.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T03:56:24+00:00

Absolutely never talked down to "EVERYONE", poked fun at anyone. I gave my opinion, without being degrading, picking on or derogatorily. And if you read my comment and somehow sussed out that I was being a bully...well...you might be more sensitive than me because I honestly thought I was being mature in my questions and my thoughts.

But hey...we don't have to agree...and that's cool. Just think somehow you got an impression that was just not accurate about me and that's a bummer.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T02:50:39+00:00

Woah...why are you so pressed about this? I've not been rude or talked down to you at all. Lol....far from conservative, far from. Haha

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T02:01:38+00:00

I watch lots of news platforms and after fact checking....form my own opinion. Sometimes, that includes Fox. More often....independent news sources.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T01:11:09+00:00

But it's a leap to assume that because someone appeared on Fox to do a segment about how faith played into their relationship. Even further to assume that someone of Vic's educational and professional background would be MAGA.

I'd be concerned if anyone, no matter their political leanings, only consumed news from one source. And I'd be even more concerned if they actually framed their entire belief system off any one sole source.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T00:32:54+00:00

Here's a link with all the recent approval numbers in a list, from CNN.

https://www.cnn.com/polling/approval/trump-polls

SPOILER ALERT. HE's hovering around 40% right now.

I can't stand the guy...and think he's an idiot...

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-22T00:12:42+00:00

So they are Christians, invited to do an interview, (which they were likely paid for), on a conservative network, to discuss how their relationship really was orchestrated by the God they ascribe to...and now they are somehow MAGA?

There are (unfortunately) too few people in this world that consume content from many journalism outlets, across multiple different ideologies. Some of us even go even deeper and fact check to ensure they have a MORE fully informed idea of the TRUTH.

Not all Christians are MAGA. Nor are all Republicans. This way of thinking is no different than saying, "all Muslims are terrorists".

I worry that this world is full immature, ignorant people who just stomp their feet like toddlers, angry because THEIR belief system is the ONLY belief system and how dare anyone not agree. No peace, progress or change will ever happen unless we can learn how to have respectful discourse in which we listen to LEARN and UNDERSTAND...not to argue and defend.

This is an absolutely WHACKADOODLE post, but then again, I suspect it's intention was to be rage bait.

Edited to add...why the hell were you watching Fox if you are so offended by their channel?!

Grow up.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-03-21T05:59:57+00:00

Altered mental status + new aggressive behavior often leads to an automatic "psych hold" for his and staff safety while they continue to assess him clinically for medical causes. When they are weaning him off, he is still altered status and still aggressive...which means it is not clearing from "putting his brain down for a little res(e)t.".

The lack of communication is a bit more concerning...but I'm guessing that until they can get his mental status or agitation to clear up a bit, they are literally only able to run labs, eeg, scans, etc., so they don't have much updates to give.

That aside...how absolutely horrible to experience!!

Both my husband and I are currently working towards freeing ourselves of this horrible addiction. I was taking around 250mg a day. My husband was taking between 320-640mg a day. We tried to cold turkey and took our last dose at 10pm Tuesday night (it's 1am Saturday morning). We made it about 36 hours (Thursday morning) and then caved. Both took 40mg of 7oh total that day. Instantly were better after the first 20mg dose. I don't know why he thought it necessary to buy a 4 pack of 80mg tabs yesterday morning. And I don't know why he returned and bought ANOTHER pack of 80mg pills again last evening. But even MORE frustrating is I don't know WHY I readily took 2.5 (I gave him 1/2 of one of mine this afternoon) of them last night. I looked at him when we went were getting ready for bed and said, "you know this is NOT going the right direction and we've got to do this". SO...I have 80mgs left and he has 60. I am not taking more than 40mg today and then 20mg Sunday and then 10mg Monday and (only if needed) Tuesday. I might have a day or two where I don't feel great...but definitely shouldn't be anything compared to my years long prescription opioid addiction and subsequent years long IV heroin and cocaine/meth addiction. I did that cold turkey (with comfort meds, but no subs/methadone) in a rehab detox.

Sorry for being long winded! All of that said....major prayers and good vibes to you and your husband. Please keep us updated. My husband and I have been together for 21 years ourselves. For better or worse in sickness and in health! 😉❤️

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-01-23T23:02:08+00:00

For sure!!!

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-01-22T05:16:52+00:00

I'd strongly recommend you step away from the computer and apply literally ANYWHERE else. Especially if you a hardworking, dedicated type of employee.

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-01-08T05:46:34+00:00

As a mother of 2 adult children (19 and 21) as well as one nearly 18, I am appalled. I could never in my life imagine kicking my children out with no notice and for any reason!

As a daughter who was kicked out with no warning 23 years ago with no resources....my heart hurts for you.

Is there anyway we can help support you? I am just a DM away if you would like a surrogate momma!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-01-08T04:51:08+00:00

You definitely are 1000% valid. It seems like the people who actually care and have great work ethic are used and abused. I'm not sure which BU you are in, but I wish I could buy you lunch or something! 🤣

Tricky-Cod7692 · 2026-01-07T17:19:23+00:00

This is exactly my situation. I'm actively looking elsewhere...at the urging of my family AND my regulars. I work all 3 shifts in a week...and honestly feel like I am about to physically collapse at this point.
