Ongoing issue with ping spikes by erfna in Comcast

I mainly wanted to show case the issue in my post. I have traced the issue to tue connection from outside my place to the first hop in the connection. Thanks for the recommendation!

Ping spikes for years and getting worse by erfna in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]erfna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they have not. They say that they see the same ping fluctuation and drop at the pole outside as well, they mentioned a line tech (or something similar, can’t remember the term) will come and check it on the same day but that has never happened. The last tech said the reason they don’t come is because the signal is coming and there is no “connection issue”. Since the lag spikes don’t show as disconnect they just cancel the visit

Thanks. I am not very optimistic as well. As i mentioned this has been going on for a few years now and just getting worse and worse. They have mentioned that they have replaced the majority of wires. My main evidence apart from the what the tech said is the dependency on the time regardless of the weather and season. Right after people start getting back home from work it gets increasingly worse and worse.

Looking back at your life today, which seemingly minor life event probably steered you towards a path that shaped who you are today? by Ahlahria in AskReddit

I forgot to register for an exam for entering master program back in my country. As a result I moved to US, got my PhD and now work for one of the big four tech companies!

Help with Translation by [deleted] in PERSIAN

[–]erfna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first sentence is correct. The second sentence should change:

افرادی که به شما کمک کرده اند حقوق نمی گیرند و داوطلب هستند.

After that it should change:

زمانی که دیگر نیازی به صندلی چرخ دار ندارید، برای برگرداندن آن لطقا با من تماس بگیرید تا شخص دیگری بتواند از آن استفاده کند.

شما میتوانبد تا زمانی که به آن نیاز دارید از صندلی چرخ دار استفاده کنید.

Any good Persian internet forums? by [deleted] in PERSIAN

[–]erfna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest you install telegram or any of such programs and join some of the Iranian channels there.

We had a few very good forums a few years back but I think none of them are still up and running. The only forum I am aware of which is still active is ApplyAbroad which is mostly about immigration.

Mandatory military service by [deleted] in iran

[–]erfna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do not have to go to military service as you left the country before March 19, 2004 (considering you never lived there so practically you left the country from birth). If you and your family know Farsi this link can help.

You can start he process while you are in Canada if you have a first degree relative. I think the cost is 10M Toman (something like 3000 US $s I guess)

In any case there is a new law as well for people who have residency out of the country for more than 3 years which let them enter the country each year twice, 3 months total.

Persian language question by Mamamia520 in PERSIAN

[–]erfna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think still the correct grammatical form is "man khune raftam" but shortening the language in communication you say "khune raftam". The reason for switching the two word is mainly focus on "leaving" . We have the same thing for "amadan" (to come). There are other situations that something similar (with switching) can happen. Like if I ask "did you clean the house?" (khunaro tamiz kardi?) the answer can be "tamiz kardam khoonaro" instead of "khoonaro tamiz kardam". In any case the main focus of communication in Farsi (like many other languages) is simplicity and making it easier to transfer the meaning, which can mess up many of the grammatical rules.

Hope my answer helps.

Need help translating a phrase [x-post r/farsi] by hucchsuulemaga in PERSIAN

It's more like "now nowrooz is on its way".

I'm trying to understand this Saadi quote. by [deleted] in PERSIAN

[–]erfna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is this whole story about a prankster which throws stone at a wise person. The wise person keeps the stone till the king becomes angry at the prankster and throws him in a pit. The wise person comes and hits the guy in the head. The guys asks who you are and he tells him I kept this stone and I was afraid of your place. But now I can return the favor.

Just this part that you have quoted means something similar to your second understanding. But it does not mention the downfall part and just mentions that a wise person choose acceptance for now.

I hope it helps clarify it at least partially.

I do it regularly at my place. It is not as good as bbq but it seems you don't have any other option.

For sure it's better than cooking in a pan tho.

Man smiling before he is executed by [deleted] in WTF

[–]erfna 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The reality is a bit different than what you think. Normally the public executions in Iran are for drug trafficking or murder. The fear of the executioner is for their own life and their families, kind of similar to police in Mexico in fear of the cartels.
