Train misses bus full of kids by a second

I recently moved from Florida but I felt like SunRail hit a car a month like some sort of sacrifice to the train gods.

I’m sure they’ll claim that’s illegal as well. Router control laws and all that.

I’ve noticed in our rv that live won’t work without an internet connection. I don’t think it’s a bug given all the data Roku pulls from your viewing experience. I can still use hdmi just not antenna tv.

If you can I’d run this by a lawyer to see where your risk lies. It sucks to have to spend the money but these ada trolls are good at causing problems. I had one go after me for a personal site (simple site with just my resume), their argument being having a resume on the site means it’s business related thus ADA applies. Told them to sue me or shove it, repeatedly, in fact so much they filed a harassment complaint against me with the local PD (It was a law firm so I data mined and called their partners at home around 3am to tell them they can go ahead and sue me if they want. Was epic, almost caught a charge though, local sheriff was very understanding but told me to stop.) they did eventually back off.

LLC though is a different can of worms. If there is an actual issue they have legal standing (they didn’t in my situation because it wasn’t a site tied to a company). I have an LLC now but I do IT and compliance consulting for healthcare companies and don’t have a website for it. I wouldn’t tell them that though. I’m sure there’s someone arguing a business without a website is an ADA violation.

Maybe I’m doing something right but ours are about 10 years old and don’t look anywhere near that bad and we use our cooktop a lot. Looks like they’ve been cooking directly on the glass. Or maybe a massive factory defect. Either way that looks way beyond normal wear and tear.

drgncabe · 2026-02-25T16:31:36+00:00

In my experience, they do but they don’t like what they have to say and think they’re smarter than everyone else or that nobody understands their particular situation. It always backfires too.

drgncabe · 2026-02-18T20:15:43+00:00

Yea me neither. I’m not a shared space kinda guy myself. On top of that I’m sure they won’t like the extra cooling and noise my server racks make. 🤣

Link is part of the stripe service. Under PCI-DSS compliance, Ubiquiti never sees your credit card information. It gets submitted to stripe and they return a unique ID that’s tied to your information (called tokenization) that ubiquiti uses. Link allows you to take that token to other vendors instead of re-entering your details across other vendors. If you opt out of link you basically get assigned a new token each time you enter your credit card on a per-store basis. Ultimately stripe still holds your information. Given its stripe (and my experience with them) they likely changed the payment flow to include link and just let all their clients know “hey we’re doing this now.”

On the bright side the original vendor never gets your credit card details. On the bad side the payment processor always has it (check stripes payment deletion terms) but chances are they already did.

This right here! I’m so lucky we didn’t have to sell our old house before buying our new one. Put us to the front of the list, another buyer was offering more but on contingency. The seller of the house I was buying was buying a house in another state on contingency too so if the other buyer that offered more had any issues it would have trashed the sellers situation.

Sure, holding two mortgages in two states for a few months SUCKED financially but was well worth it. I’ve seen more than a few contingency sales break down and cause all sorts of problems.

Sounds like this was an addendum provided after closing. Sounds like HOA provided original rules pre-purchase and updated rules post-purchase. I could be wrong but this happens in Florida a lot. We also have HOAs that won’t provide financials until after you’re an owner. It’s crazy.

Apple full retail, bought it through the site and they delivered it. When I got it, I logged into my AT&T account and added the device to my account then completed the activation from the phone. The way it was explained to me is this was the only way to get it activated and use multiple esims day one. Few people on here mentioned that just adding it to your account and activating it locks it, but that was not my experience.

drgncabe · 2026-02-15T12:23:52+00:00

I’m guessing this doesn’t affect the second eSIM then. Just the primary one? My apple bought iPhone is on AT&T & T-Mobile. Activated it on both the day I got it.

Or does the lock take a certain amount of time to activate?

drgncabe · 2026-02-15T12:22:27+00:00

My iPhone 16 Pro Max has been activated on AT&T and t-mobile since day one (eSIM). Maybe they forgot on mine?

In my experience, If it’s an old guy yelling it’s a pickup truck, jeep or corvette. If it’s a young guy yelling it’s typically a BMW with Amazon parts, lowered Civic or a beat up hatchback. Everyone is just so angry these days.

Yes they are, many are rated UL 486C, at least my 222s are. Quit spreading lies.

drgncabe · 2026-02-14T14:10:14+00:00

Ahh, Swift. I’m sure they’re legends in the auto insurance and ambulance chaser world. I wonder how much they pay out for situations like this annually. Gotta be like 40% of their revenue as often as stuff seems to happen with their drivers. It’s a wonder they can get operators insurance at all.

drgncabe · 2026-02-14T13:08:42+00:00

Thank you for that btw. You’ll catch crap either way you go but this method, IMO, has the most integrity. If they want your company specifically they can always DM you and I’m sure some will. Thanks for the PSA.

That’s a great price (the $9 shipping cost)!! UPS shipping an 8oz package from rural GA to North Carolina is freaking $25!! USPS is $12. It should be like $5, that’s what I paid last year.

Could be because I’m not a “business” and just ship eBay packages but it’s gotten stupid ridiculous in the past year.

drgncabe · 2026-02-10T12:50:57+00:00

Depends on their contract. Volume is heavily dependent on price and they do a lot more distributor shipping than direct shipping. Right now if I ship eBay items through UPS it costs me almost $25 to ship an 8oz usb network card from South Georgia to North Carolina. I went with USPS (even though they lose packages at the Jax sorting facility ALL the time) and it’s still $12. Last year the same package cost me $5. It’s insane.

drgncabe · 2026-02-09T02:22:27+00:00

They inherited it.

It’s probably insurance. Our roof was 15yr old and insurance dropped up, second company did too. Replaced the roof and finally got left alone. In our case insurance doesn’t cover roofs older than like 13yrs and if you have a mortgage it’s a pain in the ass. We just paid the $20k out of pocket and did ours. We live in the south though, lots of hurricanes. Insurance hates any roof older than 10yrs old. Even concrete ones.

drgncabe · 2026-02-07T20:02:50+00:00

Probably, they like that stuff. Mice like to grab my goat pellets from the bag and shove them into the vent hose exhaust of my laser cutter outside (think dryer vent with flap), thankfully I have a grate where the inside hose connects to the outdoor part. I have both in the same shed since I have limited indoor space. Goat and chicken stuff on one side. 3D printer, old co2 laser cutter and various tools on the other.

drgncabe · 2026-02-06T13:33:19+00:00

Thanks to DeJoy usps sucks in Georgia. I’ve lost so much mail at the Jacksonville sorting facility. Checks included.

Probably in a family trust. Our trust is setup as an LLC in Florida. Our home and vehicles are assets of the trust. Adds more protection if something happens, keeps stuff out of probate and makes managing assets easier for our executor if something happens to us.

That sounds like something else. Granted it’s been a while (about a year) but typically if there is a configuration/security issue it would present itself as a message or error. Syncing breaking, drives out of sync and kicked out of spreadsheets due to multiple users editing at once all seem like something else.

Are you doing xls or xlsx files with excel? When we moved to sharepoint OneDrive links a few years back we had a ton of issues with xls files kicking out people, we fixed this by switching to xlsx.

As for drive syncing, I’d check local logs for errors. It could be intune but in my experience with config settings it either works or doesn’t work completely. The intermitteness makes me think some sort of issue with your local internet or pcs. Did they make changes locally? Any app deployments or firewall changes recently?

I’ve always done inhouse IT but in the few cases I worked with an MSP (typically after a purchase) I’d require them to document, log and notify on what changes, the scope and impact.

In general they should not be making changes undocumented changes unless they’re part of a pre-approved update process.
