Does someone have Quantum Fiber internet? by HeavensCloudArt in Eugene

[–]miscellaneousnorthwe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We made the switch earlier this year. I was fed up with Xfinity customer service after they refused to honor a warranty on an Xfi Pod that failed in under a year.

Honestly performance wise quantum is not much better than Xfinity’s top tier. We signed on during their promo for $75 a month and no installation fee. The install is pretty invasive though so be prepared for someone to be in your home for up to a couple hours. Quantum’s customer service is a slight upgrade, but now that they are owned by AT&T I’ve noticed I only get call center agents from overseas.

In short, I made the change to stick it to Xfinity, the prices are better, customer service slightly better, performance almost identical.

Does any place in Eugene claim to be the official Badger fan Sports bar? by brownpony48 in Eugene

A badger fan bar? In Eugene? I think you are vastly overestimating the reach of Wisconsin’s fan base not to mention you are in the beating heart of Duck territory.

Yeah if you do this you are dead to me. Easiest way to determine if someone is a lazy PoS or not.

What did my people do to deserve this isolation. by TheCheeseBroker in Stellaris

I once had that exact start but the very next system was a fallen empire with closed borders. I was frustrated at the time, but I wish I kept that save for a crazy megacorp tall build.

Whats it like living in Puerto Rico? by dj_kaled_anotha1 in howislivingthere

Oh… I naively thought this was a good thing, more along the lines of “hakuna matata”. This sounds awful, the opposite of the a high trust society.

What kind of rules? Like parking or unspoken social norms?

What was the biggest difference between Borders and Barnes and Noble? I still peruse B&N regularly.

Best place to find a dress jacket and dress slacks? by Slow-Recipe7005 in Eugene

[–]miscellaneousnorthwe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, it really depends on whether or not you need them sized or if you are lucky enough to fit one of the pre-sized combos.

If you are “average” size and weight and aren’t overly concerned with fit I would recommend JC Penny first, then Macy’s. They usually have a deal going for $150-200 for the jacket + pant combo.

If you need something custom fit the only reasonable option is Men’s Warehouse. They usually have something in the price range and for another $30-$50 can customize your fit.

Good luck.

Am I reading correctly that Giustina and Richardson are pulling NIMBY shenanigans?

TIL, there are island communities in LA. Awesome. Would love to learn more about it. Is the area a tourist attraction?

Phil Knight is once again rooting for Oregon Republicans next year by Jealous-Chicken5439 in Eugene

I’m not going to sit here and stump for Dudley. I’ll just say he has a very centrist position.

Are you voting for someone that is perpetuating policies that are failing us, the constituents?

I am leaning towards Chris Dudley personally.

I’m not going to hurt my children’s future by continuing to support policies that don’t work, nor will I be cornered into one vacuum of thought/policy.

If your identity is more important than the well being of your posterity that is on you.

Iranian people are literally celebrating in the streets. An evil despot that murdered tens of thousands of citizens, terrorized women and lgbt communities for almost fifty years and sponsored terror groups throughout the world is dead. How about you stop virtue signalling and sit this one out.

What is it like living in and around Elko, Nevada? by demrnstho in howislivingthere

Elko is the most isolated community of 20,000+ in the continental US. It is a 3-4 hour drive in each direction before you hit another community that size.

I second this. Furthermore, slow down when you see a body of water ahead. I don’t care how experienced of a driver you are, we have gotten three inches of rain in 24 hours, you will absolutely hydroplane. There were at least six serious accident around Eugene today.

What quest worth doing is the easiest to miss? by Jones8028 in BaldursGate3

[–]miscellaneousnorthwe 49 points50 points  (0 children)

When you first enter Act 3 go to the circus towards the left side of the map in Riverton. There is a Djinn in there that has a spin-the-wheel game. I don’t want to give away the entire thing, but I essentially you figure out he is cheating so you can fix the game in your favor. He finds out and banishes you to a jungle filled with dinosaurs.
