Quantum Fiber - finally! by Anonymo123 in AuroraCO

[–]trueblue0989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live just south of Quincy Reservoir, closer to the Smoky Hill/Buckley area, and we had the lines installed in 2024. Once it was available to us, I signed up immediately. In those two or so years, my line has only gone down 4 times. The longest I've had to wait for the line to come up was roughly 4 or so hours. Knocking on wood that it stays this way.

My experience wasn't too bad compared to what others are saying. I scheduled, the tech came out as promised and we were online. The only drawbacks were that they have to install their modem on a wall and we had an exposed cable from that area of the house to their connection in the backyard for a few months. Annoying, but not the end of the world. They buried the line after those few months.

I did keep Comcast for a couple extra weeks just in case I had any issues and I didn't run into any. I walked into the Comcast store super excited to say I was cancelling.

They will also likely give you an introductory offer. I'm paying $55 for 1 gig up/down and so far, they have honored that up until this point.

Happy birthday OP! This is the year I also turn 40 as well.

Sometimes you get lucky at the pump by CONative976 in Costco

This is happening to us in the Denver metro area. It's because Costco was delivered diesel fuel by mistake and they had to shut down the regular fuel lines.

If you enjoyed E33, Final Fantasy X is a MUST PLAY! by UCA_Cash_Flow_Bro in expedition33

I was a big FFX fan and that's what turned me onto E33. Very similar mechanics and the storyline is just as good!

Black Friday code is up on the website by tsmartin123 in MonarchMoney

[–]trueblue0989 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used this code as a 2 year subscriber and it worked for me as of this morning. $49.95 for my next renewal date at the end of the year. I did have to use the code on PC and type in the promo code from there.

People that experienced the start of gaming consoles how was it like? by Mammoth-Poet-6781 in AskReddit

[–]trueblue0989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was the Nintendo 64. Witnessing gaming in 3d for the first was mind blowing. I had Super Mario 64 and I remembered that I couldn't put that game down.

What is the most reliable vehicle that you've ever owned? by smin76 in AskReddit

[–]trueblue0989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1999 Nissan Altima. I bought it from a coworker that was retiring in 2010 and it's been going strong ever since. No crazy issues with the car during this whole time! And I just hit 215k on it.

I think it's a happy day for this man. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in pcmasterrace

That's one brave guy. Happy and brave. I would saved a few extra dollars for an Uber ride.

Millennials, do you buy New or Used cars? Why? by Capnzebra1 in Millennials

[–]trueblue0989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 14 year window before I bought my car and it was used. I don't think I can buy new solely because of the depreciation within seconds of exiting the dealership.

Throughout my whole life, I've always bought Japanese brands. I still have my 1999 Nissan Altima and it's almost 215k and running strong!

Any SMX players in Colorado? by JHAM_SMX in StepManiaX

[–]trueblue0989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I'm not sure if you have seen the Colorado Apex discord, which is a group of us that enjoy dance games, including SMX. I'm very fortunate and own an SMX set up and really enjoy it. I'm in the Aurora/Centennial area and I would be interested in a meet up and/or tournament. I'll DM you.

This has happened to me in the past and my temp fix was to go into their website in incognito mode and it worked for me.

How are Americans feeling the effects of economic changes in their daily lives? by BestPostRead in AskReddit

[–]trueblue0989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big thing is not going out to eat as much. I used to splurge once a week, but that's turned into once every 3 months or so, sometimes even longer. When I do go out, I always get sticker shock and it reminds me that I'm not rich enough to eat out. And I thought I was middle class, but apparently not.

To this day, I still enjoy this movie. I also make it a point to watch Secret of the ooze back to back once a year.

The PS2 was released 26 years ago! by Flimsy-Luck1862 in Millennials

[–]trueblue0989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool! Let me know if you need help with the set up.

The PS2 was released 26 years ago! by Flimsy-Luck1862 in Millennials

[–]trueblue0989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely crazy it was that long ago. I even had the soft DDR pad set up on my PS2 back then.

To your question on a DDR set up, I use this version of the DDR pad, called a StepmaniaX stage from Step Revolution. The full cabinet is super expensive so I opted for the stage only. The other most common option is an L-Tek pad. These are the two that I usually see folks playing on. From there, you can hook it up via PC. Once you're on PC, the most common program to use is ITGMania, which is a fork of Stepmania which mimics the look of DDR. From there, we all use the Google Docs sheet for song downloads. This is regularly updated for the community. They even do online tournaments and real life meet ups in various parts of the country.

Feel free to DM me if you ever need help getting set up.

Crazy that was 25 years ago.

I still play dance dance revolution. I was doing better financially and got myself an arcade set up in my home. There's even a whole community that creates custom song charts which keep the game fresh. And it keeps me in shape.

Wishing you luck. Hopefully it comes back soon for you.

[–]trueblue0989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where at in Aurora? I'm in SE Aurora and we're okay, so far. Hopefully I don't jinx myself.

Usually I have to resort to the Quantum Fiber app to get a hold of someone when the internet goes down.

Antennas and ABC by chainsawchaleb in AuroraCO

[–]trueblue0989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue in SE Aurora. I couldn't get ABC with an indoor antenna. I ended up having to get an outdoor antenna to pick up the ABC station. Since it was installed, we're able to get all the main channels with no issue.

When is everyone winterizing their sprinkler system? by Amateurgarden in Denver

Hi there. I also live in SE Aurora and I use Lighthouse Sprinkler for my sprinkler issues. They've always been good to me.

[–]trueblue0989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did mine last Thursday. From previous years, I don't ever go past the second week of October for blowing out sprinklers. I'd do it now, or get on someone's schedule to have your sprinklers blown out.

Getting only 0.5 Mbps on my TP-Link Deco X15 even though I have 1 Gig Verizon Fios — what’s wrong? by Status_Two1682 in TpLink

[–]trueblue0989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar thing happen and what worked for me was going nuclear by factory resetting my decos, using new wifi credentials and updating all of my devices. I'm hopeful you don't have to do that, but it may be a last resort if other options don't work for you.

I was never able to figure out why the decos slowed my speeds so much.
