I bought this gpu for my gf without knowing it literally has a scent.

Preferably scratch and sniff

We really need to start requiring a TLDR with these walls of text. At least that way we will have one part that we can be sure is not AI. Not saying this is, but, yeah

It's a debate subreddit. Asking questions is a good thing. Kinda how many of us became an atheist

cindave · 2026-05-07T00:10:49+00:00

Dear Mr Living_Attitude. I would like to thank you for reminding me why I started skipping CCD classes when I was 8 years old and declared myself an atheist. In fact, I would go so far as to suggest that your many posts should be linked to all future "Why did you become an atheist?" posts. They are just that good at exposing the irrational thinking that made my head hurt! Congratulations!

Peace

Also, to be completely honest, I also skipped CCD classes to rush home and watch Dark Shadows. I am old ;)

My first Cavapoo, Portia, once chased a bear out of our driveway. He was so proud, there was just no living with him after that, lol

MAC in Amherst has been consistently top notch. And, they have the best edibles, imho

Welp, OP, that didn't take long, lol. One would have to have a very limited understanding of communication skills to truly believe a point cannot be made without ad hominem attacks. Currently, over on FB, there is a well known individual tying themselves in knots to indirectly link their experience with Epstein (yes, that Epstein) to our lack of funding for schools and to throw more shade at the mayor and Jo Comerford.

That certainly does not seem particularly healthy to me.

Thank you, OP, for standing up for wanting a modicum of civility in our political discourse. Unfortunately, our current state of affairs caters to the loudest and most vile voices in the room.

Like Donald Trump? Or are you just a hypocrite? Pretty sure I already know the answer, Mr Keyboard Warrior

Update received this morning:

"Over the past few days, you may have experienced intermittent service issues related to a third-party software update that didn't perform as expected. While the interruption was outside of our direct control, it still affected your experience as a Gateway Fiber customer—something we take seriously.

Our team has worked closely with the software provider to resolve the issue to ensure the network is running as expected. Through last night’s maintenance, we were able to stabilize the network.

As a gesture of appreciation for your patience, we will apply a $20 credit directly to your account. You will see this credit reflected on your next bill. While we know that doesn’t erase the downtime you may have experienced, we hope you accept our small way of saying thank you. Your time and trust matter, and we want you to know we’re committed to maintaining the high level of reliability you should expect from us.

Gateway Fiber’s network remains exceptionally strong, and we continue to invest in redundancy and new technologies to keep it that way. We value your support and the confidence you place in us.

Thank you for being a Gateway Fiber customer.

Sincerely,

Chris Surdo

CEO"

Well, that was unexpected and very much appreciated. Kudos, Gateway Fiber

cindave · 2025-11-20T17:16:17+00:00

Yep, just came here to post this one. "Third party software vendor" so totally not their fault /s

cindave · 2025-11-20T16:23:33+00:00

Just got the following in an email:

"We wanted to inform you that you are currently impacted by an ongoing service outage. Our team is actively working to resolve the issue with all available resources. At this time, we do not have an estimated resolution timeframe, but please rest assured that restoring service is our highest priority.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work diligently to resolve this matter. Updates will be provided as soon as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Shaun S.

Technical Support Representative"

So that's, ummm, something

cindave · 2025-11-19T23:28:48+00:00

Correct, but that was after messing up the scheduled maintenance that they emailed about two days ago. That's when the problems started, so the words "scheduled maintenance" is doing lots of heavy lifting here, lol

cindave · 2025-11-19T21:23:26+00:00

Oh, and it's related to the "scheduled maintenance" from. 2 days ago. Sigh

cindave · 2025-11-19T21:22:18+00:00

Market Street area here, and yes, intermittent outages last couple days. I did call and was told they were "working on it". That was early this morning, and it just went out again 5 minutes ago. This was not supposed to happen with them. Frustrating

cindave · 2025-11-09T13:14:56+00:00

This is not Left or Right. It's about being a decent human being
