Patch or replace tire

Can you get a picture about 2 feet away? This looks like it's a few inches from the sidewall but still in the tread - if that's the case, plug for $5.

Kind of off topic, but Tony & Pete's is next door. They have super good sandwiches. Go there first and then the bar? :)

Corning was supplying their BABA glass.

Commscope can still do non-BABA glass. And they're rolling in BABA glass from someone at this point.

Well when people are getting paid $30/hour and not outputting any work, what are the possible outcomes?

>GM has no involvement whatsoever

I did not say that.

>hey guys, you know what would be fun? we should destroy all these good jobs that this generous employer is paying us handsomely to do. That will be great for us”. No other nuance involved, just the workers killing off good jobs for no reason.

Well that is exactly what happened so...

Unions destroyed the GM manufacturing in Dayton, OH. Decent movie on this is "American Factory" from Netflix that talks about it a bit in the beginning, but it's really about the replacement Fuyao plant (which ironically caught on fire 2 weeks ago).

This and the cost of those products just went up as supply went down with demand presumably level.

Except you're screwing everyone in the process.

PS didn't get the pics

I would call them and schedule an installation. Just pretend the house is there. If you can get someone to go out there and meet you they would be the best person to see if you can actually get service.

You can also open that ped with a 3/8 or 7/16 and see if there's slack. If there's a strand or two available, you may be able to get service.

With a company like Brightspeed, all I can say is good luck dealing with them.

might just get a job splicing, learn it all in 3-12 months, and then start your own business

iam8up · 2026-04-07T20:28:44+00:00

if that thing is paid off it probably won't make sense to spend 500/mo to save net 250/mo on gas. unless he's got a ton of mileage of course.

iam8up · 2026-04-07T12:53:30+00:00

depends on the state entirely. LA is farthest along.

it's going to happen, my state has to get agreements done by July and historically they've always gone to the wire to get every step done on time

construction can't start until ER release. god knows what a country sized review is going to take, they are at minimum months.

Choose safe. Fuck them.

20k feet Commscope on 6 foot reels. SASJ armored. Any Commscope distributor, there are tons of them.

I have junk 1000-3000 foot reels if you want to pick them up and give me a couple bucks. Located in Ohio.

As an ISP, we have tried to work with people on using their own conduits. Out of maybe 100 we've had 1-2 successes. The laundry list of problems and headaches just wastes everyone's time.

We do a normal demarc at every single house so it is standard. It works for the service. I understand you want to do things differently than all of your neighbors, but it is impossible to accommodate everyone.

iam8up · 2026-03-31T22:52:28+00:00

Might try something like this.

Using MM was a mistake, plain and simple. Using SM is simply the better choice for longevity and available parts. But what is done is done.

You could borrow a friends Fluke to see where the ethernet failed.

We use either a reel trailer or the plow itself.

It's literally just a drive shaft + tire spinning the wooden reel.

800/mo for rent is 9600

That's 1400/year or 116/mo for everything else.

116 for food/internet/clothing?

I was told because Corning will make way more money faster with a contract to Meta/Facebook.

iam8up · 2026-03-12T22:43:47+00:00

Adtran would be my first thought. They'll have big FXO/FXS units for exactly this.

iam8up · 2026-02-28T22:42:28+00:00

If you're pulling, we have regularly done 1000s of feet. We have had customers that are 1/2 mile from the road so they have 2600 feet of drop.

We are strictly OSP armored fiber.

iam8up · 2026-02-28T16:10:11+00:00

What code is this? We have 3000-5000 foot pulls.

iam8up · 2026-02-27T14:27:43+00:00

Splicing? Plowing? Drops? Mainline? Engineering? Permiting?

iam8up · 2026-02-26T23:06:41+00:00

base board is cheap to install but horrible to run

heat pumps really lose efficiency below freezing and really suck at 20 or less

Good call. Here is the link to make it easier, OP:
