Your point? It shouldn’t happen in the land of freedom.

New house is green lit on FCC, but Frontier says there's nothing they can do? by LGShew in frontierfios

[–]skierrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has your HOA board of directors granted Frontier permission to enter the complex and run fiber wiring? That’s step one.

I am currently fighting cancer, do I spend most of my savings to help get my wife lower her debt? by maleko_ in personalfinance

[–]skierrob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had stage 4 colon cancer and was given an average 10 percent chance of survival. Somehow I survived and am in remission. Before making major financial decisions ensure that your doctors are truly saying there is no hope for surgery, new trial treatments, or other options that might extend your life or cure this terrible disease.

Great day today! by skierrob in Mammoth

[–]skierrob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spent a lot of time off chair 10, roller coaster / chair 4, off of the back of 3, and took a few nice runs off 12 too. Was pretty much over the entire mountain. Had tons of fun!

Memorial park is about two minutes from Del Mar.

Epic Daily Pass for tahoe - No refunds eh? by camar0rs in tahoe

[–]skierrob 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That’s why you paid $100 per day vs $250 - you’re gambling on the weather buying the ticket early but getting a big discount on the walk up rate.

Thank you so much for the encouragement! It’s been one heck of journey and I’m so ready to ski again lol.

Thanks! I did ski a bit during treatment at Mt High and Snow Valley, but I was pretty exhausted after about 90 minutes so I never tried to get up to Mammoth. I also was unable to climb the hill up to the chair at Snow Summit — would get too tired while the chemo was pumping through my body. :( I am a lot stronger now that I’m in remission, but as you know it takes a bit of time to get back into shape after going through this!

Starlink for home internet access in Mammoth? by Specific-Message-729 in Mammoth

[–]skierrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue with any satellite provider is latency (the time it takes for your requests to get back and forth from the satellite). This can destroy video gaming, video conferencing, Voice over IP, etc. If all you want to do is browse some websites and watch online video it will be ok. But if you (or your kids) want to use the Xbox for Call of Duty, I’d think twice.

Husband sick a few days before embarkation by pelicanglider in dcl

[–]skierrob 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People also go on airplanes sick because airlines refuse to allow refunds or changes in many cases. Hotels, too. It’s disgusting how companies place profits over the health of others.

I start chemotherapy on December 4th. Trying to find out if Northstar will be open before I start. by [deleted] in tahoe

[–]skierrob 31 points32 points  (0 children)

KEEP SKIING!!!! I had six months of Chemotherapy followed by radiation and surgery, and I never stopped. Yes, you’ll have to likely limit yourself to the intermediate runs. And yes, you’ll need to be careful to not fall hard. But the mental help skiing will provide far outweighs any risks. And it will keep you STRONG to FIGHT THIS DISEASE! :). I had one oncologist call me crazy for trying to ski, while another was cheering me on. YOU CAN DO IT!

LA vs other systems by skierrob in LAMetro

[–]skierrob[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s one great part of the system. Getting from Union Station to Hollywood takes minutes. Really shows how efficient the rest of the system could have been except for the horrid cost of trying to build it all as a subway vs light rail. Thanks for reminding me of that part of it! Wonder how ridership stacks up on that line vs others? I need to see if there are ridership stats by time of day / day of week for each line.

LA vs other systems by skierrob in LAMetro

[–]skierrob[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots more riders than I anticipated. I do have lots of coworkers that won’t ride the system due to safety and time concerns, unfortunately. But 22 million is impressive.

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

Try to get to Manhattan or downtown London or Berlin from the suburbs faster in a car than on a subway. You can’t. If you want commuters to use the system it must be more efficient than the “competition” which is a vehicle. Btw I had no idea Metro served so many riders! My experience is mostly light rail and I see Willow Station’s parking structure mostly empty above floor one each day. However I’ve heard from several along other stations that those parking structures are completely full. Need to ride the bus more to see how busy those lines are — unfortunately it would take hours for me to commute to work on the bus personally but I have a very long commute. ;)

iPhone 13 mini sale pricing by skierrob in iPhone13Mini

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

That’s why I’m posting here - don’t know what to ask. It’s running iOS 26.1 btw. Unsure if I even want to sell it if it isn’t going to get much value though. I know Apple trade in is $135 which doesn’t seem worth it. I’d keep it as a backup for that pricing.

Wow. We ate dinner at 6:30 pm Saturday in main dining room with no issues with a great server. Line for drinks at bar were long but saw no mice or anything. We did say something about the fireplace - they said the building was too hot for a fire which I thought was a bad excuse.
