      since they are Christians.

      That has nothing to do with shit.

      You say tomato, I say slingshot ammo. I've attended funerals all across the board. Let's just say this family has a good support system and their faith is a large portion of it.

        Right, because faith teaches helplessness, which makes it easier to "deal" with those things -- Que sera, sera

          This I agree with. Can't worry about what you can't control and all that jazz.

          I disagree that faith teaches helplessness. Some would say it teaches selflessness. But eh... going down that rabbit hole would devolve into a deeply theological debate that would span on for days. Not at all my intention.

            I won't debate it, just link a reference:

            Religion teaches helplessness. Que sera, sera—what will be will be. Let go and let God.We’ve all heard these phrases, but sometimes we don’t recognize the deep relationship between religiosity and resignation. In the most conservative sects of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, women are seen as more virtuous if they let God manage their family planning. Droughts, poverty and cancer get attributed to the will of God rather than bad decisions or bad systems; believers wait for God to solve problems they could solve themselves.

            This attitude harms society at large as well as individuals. When today’s largest religions came into existence, ordinary people had little power to change social structures either through technological innovation or advocacy. Living well and doing good were largely personal matters. When this mentality persists, religion inspires personal piety without social responsibility. Structural problems can be ignored as long as the believer is kind to friends and family and generous to the tribal community of believers.

              I like to say we have a brain, so use it. 😄 [otherwise, I'd still be stone deaf and have people throwing things at me to get my attention]

              (ugh... how do so many people wind up in IT when they and/or their brains don't work!)

                    Friggin' FINALLY got Comcrap to come out and replace the cable between the pole and my house. They had been trying to charge me to send a tech, I told them to shove that nonsense because I know exactly what the issue is. Turns out I was 1000% correct, so no charge for the tech call.

                      I would still keep an eye on your bill.

                          I always do, because I certainly expect them to try it. Also going to make sure the 2 weeks sans connection are properly credited.

                            Lightning struck 2 houses down, zapped the cable all the way to the house (as well as my modem and wifi router). When a new modem can't get a signal, I know what the issue is. Especially when there is no "inside wiring"... the cable comes from the pole to the corner of my roof, then down to floor level, where the previous owners just drilled a hole through the wall and stuck the coax through. Literally 2 feet of coax sticking out of the baseboard.

                                  I'll probably put in a jack plate, but I'll still have a hole in the wall.

                                    A little drywall mud would patch the hole.

                                      Lol direct from the pole through a hole in the wall? Not even grounded?

                                      If that's the case, they owe you a modem, yes?

                                          I've got one doing nothing now... it's like 4 years old or so though. It's an all-in-one i bought from amazon.

                                            Mine was a 4 or 5 year old Arris. But my new one is DOCSIS 3.1 and all that good stuff.
