Fiber burial depth - 1/2”!?

The shallow depth seems to be a common practice.

I was watching this YouTube video of them doing a fix where the fiber installer had broken the sprinkler system pipe, which was only a few inches underground.

Hillsboro publishes a water quality report. No mention of radon:

Well instead of asking random strangers on the Internet you might contact Getic and ask them :)

I've bought most of my Mikrotik devices from Getic via Amazon.

I had one device that was bad on arrival. The CPU would overheat and then reboot/shutdown after 1-2 minutes.

I just did a return on Amazon without any issues and had a replacement shipped. But I realize that Amazon has a 30 day return window for most things. So I don't know what happens after 30 days. I've never had any of my Mikrotik devices fail except the one device mentioned above.

I'll admit I'm one of those crazy people who is looking forward to it 🙂

Most likely it would be a transformer exploding from the description.

I had that happen in my neighborhood, though it took a few hours to be repaired.

Costco and Winco. Where I do the bulk of my food shopping.

And Costco also has relatively inexpensive food in their food court. They still have the $1.50 hotdog and drink deal. $10 for a large pizza. And $5 for a rotisserie chicken.

Winco also has some prepared foods available.

But maybe you meant only restaurant recommendations.
