@Ask_Spectrum I’ve been in an outage for over 7 hours. It was supposed to be fixed 3 1/2 hours ago. It keeps getting pushed back and now it’s saying it won’t be back up for another 2 hours. This prevents me from working. Can we expect a refund for the lost day so far?

Now it’s 10:30! 10 hours without internet. People depend on reliable internet service for their livelihood and to run their homes.

@timomalleyND regarding the pod yesterday, in 1995, the home game vs Navy was when Ron Powlus got hurt and started the Tommy Krug era.

@timomalleyND also 1987 and 1989 were the only two years with 5 home games over the last 4 decades. Never trust AI

I am told that as a state representative this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people. But we aren't "one people" are we? The truth is we haven't been for some time now, and there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was. We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end. I convinced myself for a long time that whenever the left called me a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a fascist, a "threat to democracy" for even the most innocent of disagreements, that it was simply hyperbolic rhetoric done for effect. And now the "effect" is a widow and two orphaned children, because the left couldn’t bear the thought of a peaceful man debating them and winning. I don’t think they realize it yet, but murdering Charlie is going to be remembered as the day where we finally woke up to what this fight really is. It’s not a civil dispute among fellow countrymen. It’s a war between diametrically opposed worldviews which cannot peacefully coexist with one another. One side will win, and one side will lose. Charlie tried to win that fight through argumentation, through discussion, through peaceful resolution of differences. And the other side murdered him. Not because he was “extreme” or “inciting violence” or any other hyperbolic slur they hurled at him. They murdered him because he was effective. Because he was unafraid. Because he inspired others and made them feel like they had a voice, that they were not alone. And he did it at the very institutions which have fomented so much hatred toward conservatives. I don’t want to “stand in solidarity” with the other side of the aisle. I want to defeat you. I want to defeat the godless ideology that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness…and that murdered Charlie Kirk. Social media is aflame right now with leftist celebration of Charlie’s death. I wonder if any among them understand what has just happened. If there is a Yamamoto somewhere in their midst warning, that all they have done is awoken a sleeping giant. I doubt it. I think they gave up such introspection and self-awareness long ago. I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I just know that it won’t be the same as what has happened in the past. There will be thoughts and prayers…Charlie would have wanted prayers. Not for himself but for those left behind and for the country that he loved. But then there will be a reckoning. My Christian faith requires me to love my enemies and pray for those who curse me. It does not require me to stand idly by in the midst of savagery and barbarism...quite the opposite. So every time I feel tired, every time I feel discouraged or overwhelmed, I am going to watch the video of a good man being murdered in Utah…I will force myself to watch it…and then I will return to the work of destroying the evil ideology responsible for that and so much more. Rest with God Charlie, your fight is over. Ours is just beginning.

@tonal @aorady I am writing in regards to my experience with Tonal. I purchased the tonal a couple of years ago. While I have enjoyed using it, it has had nothing but issues from the start. It has been serviced a number of times and there are notes in your system with video

footage of it's problems.  The response I have received from customer service has been less than agreeable.  I was told to "just purchase a refurbished tonal for over $700".  I spent thousands of  dollars on your machine that was obviously flawed from the start.

Why should I have to purchase a refurbished tonal machine for over $700?  Is that how the company stands by their product?  I am an interior designer who has continually advocated for my clients to purchase a tonal.  I can no longer do so,I would be happy to discuss this further

Y’all saw the news of the asteroid coming close to earth the day before the election!? Space agency says there’s a 0.41% chance of it hitting the earth. Which means you have a better chance of getting hit by the meteor than dying of #COVID19 (0.25%) (Just sayin)

It takes years to develop a good vaccine & rushing it in few months can be dangerous. Most good vaccines may only work 60% of the time so there‘s no guarantee that this will succeed. The paramount thing here is safety. We need herd immunity to end this virus.

Just the facts: -Among the samples collected without a face mask, we found that the majority of participants with influenza virus and coronavirus infection did not shed detectable virus in respiratory droplets or aerosols, nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

Either masks work or they don’t. If you’re requiring them because they stop the spread then reopen everything. If they don’t work then the mandates are BS. Pick a narrative and stick to it.

Why are we again surprised that coronavirus cases are rising with both an easing of social distancing and more testing? Can’t hide from a virus forever. When will we learn that the best way to combat this is to be metabolically healthy?
