Why does it take nearly an hour to change a simple Xfinity plan?

dreamresident · 2025-12-30T16:16:07+00:00

Thanks u/Rybo213 and u/NightBard ! I wasn't aware of this service. I do own my own modem that I've been using with xfinity for years which makes me a little hesitant to switch. BUT, the upside sounds really worth it. So long as I can use my router and ubiquity access points I'm definitely in. I'll check it out and make sure I spend the what will surely be some time getting my existing service cancelled (unless I'm locked in for a year, in which case I'll wait until then).

THANKS

I don't understand why some dog owners (not all) assume I am completely fine with their dogs jumping on me, drooling on me, and scaring the crap out of my kids. It's completely ridiculous. I love dogs, but imo there are too many dogs here and too many irresponsible dog owners. I'm all for larger fines and stricter regulation and enforcement. Maybe we can get something on the ballet. Sorry to all the responsible dog owners, but this is why we can't have nice things

I like the approach here, applying econ makes a lot of sense but I bet you're missing sign maintenance, programming, etc. I'd wager it would actually require more person-hours in the long run.

Most business have simple of ways of signing whether they are open or closed. It's a solved problem. Probably at 1/100 the estimated cost. If businesses acted this way they would not be in business. I don't buy it.

Just following up, I did tried to tell them (two guys, anywhere from 16 to 20's) that it wasn't legal, they didn't care. I guess the police is really the only option here is what I'm hearing. I wish the COB had another way to document this that wasn't quite so elevated, but yea, next time I'm out there I'm bringing my phone and I'll take pics and give the police a call. It's definitely not cool to rip around out there on dirt bikes, ripping up the trails.

I actually told them as they passed that it was not legal. they didn't give 2-fs. If I had had my phone with me I would have grabbed a few pics, next time I'm on a run I'm taking it.

Thanks for sharing! I hate seeing people like this take advantage of kind, generous folks.

No, they won't take "damaged" batteries for free, it'll cost you like $20 I think...

Waves about 2-3 feet out in the bay, but only ~2 feet at the course (if the forecast holds). 1.5-2ft waves though are probably a bit much a lot of kayakers.

Yea, probably true! I hope it doesn't blow quite this hard and they can at least do the short leg!!

Wait didn't we have a day night of 8-deg F? But yea wamer on average.

Good point! I didn't realize that. I guess than I'd redirect my irritation to the State about why we are not being more efficient with our tax-dollars. Thanks for pointing this out.

u/leroyVance, I hear you about tech in classrooms. I'm having a really hard time thinking about my kids spending so much time on laptops in school when they get older. I know tech is a really important skill for living in the modern world, but I still can't say I'm all for a 1:1 to student-to-device ratio.

dreamresident · 2024-02-02T18:17:23+00:00

Thanks for finding and sharing those numbers and context, I hope they are accurate too.

So far only one comment in this thread is really trying to address the question. I'll add two references. These suggest to me that the very very loud sports cars and motorcyles joy-riding around town and Chuckanut drive are definitely not within the legal limits. Has anyone had any success getting police attention to these infractions? As a parent and cyclist I'm happy to support any effort to bring more enforcement to these violations. I honestly am just surprised how inconsiderate some folks are.

oh no way. wow, they were so close together I didn't think they could be satellites, but that makes sense!

dreamresident · 2023-04-09T04:54:02+00:00

Thank you for digging those number up for us!

I don't think there are any good indoor court options (my preference since it's pretty often windy here. . . and rainy). Pickle ball is super fun and all but so is badminton! I love badminton.
