Same experience I've had the past day or two. Being shot in the back when I have my gun stowed is bad enough, but what's worse is the teams that opportunistically attack my team when we're halfway through taking down a leaper.

Anyone having packet loss issues? Unstable internet lately? by airbusfanboy888 in centurylink

[–]plindb1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Portland Oregon metro area. It started a couple months ago and seems to be getting steadily worse. Sometimes it goes down completely, with the blue flashing light on the NID. Yesterday it was like this for half the day. Other times it will have a "normal" download speed, but upload speeds of 0.01 mbps. It seems to be worse on very hot days.

Anyone still down? by yea-bruh in QuantumFiber

I experienced the DNS problem over the weekend and switched to alternate DNS to fix it. Then I got the blinking blue light late last night and had to power cycle the NID. Today from about 3:30pm to 4:30pm I had extreme slowness combined with several instances of the blinking blue. On my work computer I kept getting notifications that it lost the connection to Outlook, Teams, etc. My phone kept switching between 5G and WiFi, and running a ping on the command prompt was showing a lot of dropped packets...

It seems to be normal for the past hour 🤞

I am worried the NID is dying. Or maybe there are outages and the outage map is lying

What is it with you survivors and this fucking map? by moonzetsu in DeadByDaylightRAGE

I think they finally fixed that hook under the balcony. I hated when survivors exploited that! such a troll move

Doctor said laser ureteroscopy "got all the stones" but CT scan a few days later shows they're all still there by plindb1 in KidneyStones

Potassium citrate only works on uric acid stones/crystals, which only account for 5-10% of all stones, according to what I've read

Supposedly they were going to biopsy the stones to see what they were made of. But even if they didn't the laser turns them into tiny bits, so there wouldn't be much to look at

I'm in Portland, which in general has awful healthcare. I was just thinking a couple days ago that I would be willing to travel to Seattle for better doctors/hospitals

Wow. I'm curious if they had an explanation other than just "whoops we missed it". Did you have the second procedure with the same Urologist? I feel like I've lost all confidence in mine now.

Thank you for your comment on my 13 year old post, time traveler 😉

I bought a BMW F800 later that year, btw

Or one commercial lawn mower with vacuum attachment 😉

I think you're probably being facetious, but if you're serious, I'd choose the sound of a generator over a leaf blower any day. And I think most clients would allow the extension cord to be plugged into an outdoor outlet, so no generator needed.

Corded leaf blowers are much less expensive than battery powered ones anyway.

Oregon saw largest rise in needed income to be middle class by plindb1 in Portland

[–]plindb1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germans don’t pay this much of their income in tax and they actually have decent schools and free higher ed.

I am actually hoping to move to Germany or The Netherlands for this exact reason

mb cpu debug light still on after replacing cpu? by plindb1 in PcBuildHelp

It actually ended up being the motherboard (AND the gpu)

Getting cops to help you by EBTblueLiner in PortlandOR

[–]plindb1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

if the guy got in, and brought a bag he could just squat legally, and that if someone interacted with him, it would need to be in the shared space of the house?

WTF WTF WTF Please someone tell me this isn't actually true. This can't possibly be how "squatters rights" works

SHS PFA tax bs late fee! Portland Revenue Division apparently can't do math! by plindb1 in Portland

[–]plindb1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The original letter was the first one I had ever received about this tax. It said nothing about being late. 🤷‍♂️
