I moved to the treasure coast of Florida, so somewhere between Port St Lucie and Fort Pierce. The only choice I have is 5G home gateways and Comcast but I am looking for other options. I don't even think I can get DSL because apparently ATT only want's to sell you mobile internet. Is there a place you can look at a map or by address and get all the results? Or a list of companies that operate in my county?
I found some cool companies expanding but not here yet, example: https://wire3.com/ which is in my county, but my address isn't available yet. 10G would be amazing.
I found that company by accident, but I don't know what other's exist.

Hi! My name is Oleksii, I am an iOS developer from Ukraine. I am creating a mobile AR game that will help homeless pets that were affected by the war in my county. Money earned with this game will be transferred to large organisations that rescue pets from warzone. Will be grateful if you could spare 15 minutes and complete this poll. This will help me to understand which features I should implement to bring maximum benefit. Thank you!

I suppose, due to the nature of this page, a lot of you have heard of a "not-deer". For those of you who haven't, I pray you never find out firsthand. Oh! Where are My manners? My name is Madison, I'm almost 25 years old, and I've lived in a tiny village called Ullin (pronounced UH•lin) for about 2 years now. Shortly after moving here, I encountered one of these creatures said to only roam the Appalachian states. I know, it was after dark and you're going to ask if I'd been drinking or anything, or you're gonna say that my eyes were playing tricks on me with a deer in some shadows. First of all, I was stone cold sober that night, as I don't drink, save for once every other blue moon. Secondly, this... This thing was standing directly under a street light. I can't be losing my mind, right?.... Right?
Pardon me, I'm getting ahead of myself. Allow me to start from the top.
It was a stagnant, humid August evening in tiny podunk Ullin (not YOU•lin), the sun had recently set and the stars had just started to wink to life in the gradient canvas of navy blue, purple and black overhead, so I'd probably set it at about 9-9:15 in the evening. Things were fairly quiet as they usually are in this little town, a dog barking in the distance and the occasional whisper of a car going down the main road about a block and a half from my house. I live with my wonderful fiancé (we'll call him Kevin, as I'm not sure he'd want his identity known, and his name isn't really relevant to the occurrence), directly across the street from a lovely, small baseball park. I used to love going for evening walks through this little park, until That Night.
I finished letting our two dogs outside for a run and potty before their bedtime and fed our deaf cat, Lance; then I grabbed up my double-decker-cheeseburger-shaped-coffee-mug-slash-pipe, baggie of weed (yes, I do smoke pot regularly, but don't jump to any conclusions yet) and lucky Bic lighter, which is red with a picture of Morty Smith from Rick and Morty printed on it, and after telling my fur kids that I loved them and would return shortly, stepped out into the soupy night air. It was so warm I half considered staying inside where it was more comfortable. But I'd had a long day at work at the local dollar store, and definitely needed to get some mono e mono with the cool grass and my favorite smoking piece. Maybe that'd be mono e mono e mono? I dunno, anyway, where was I? Oh, yes. I was crossing the street to hop over the ditch and onto the side of the park, when I heard the strangest, most terrifying sound, something straight out of a nightmare.
The best way I could describe it would be like the cry of some kind of animal giving birth, but the sound was so wet and gargled, as though the laboring beast's throat were slit. I was midjump when this horrendous, nightmare-fueling wail, and it scared me so badly that I'd tried to stop in midair, succeeded, only to fall into the ditch, probably 3 or 4 feet deep not including the extra 8-10 inches of height I'd had over said ditch. Pain exploded up my leg, blooming from my ankle in a sensation I know all too well as a sprain, me being a klutz and all. I let out a cry of my own, grabbing my already swelling ankle and rushing to tighten my high-top shoe with a stick pushed down on either side as a makeshift splint until I could hobble back across the street. After making the impromptu support for my injured foot, I finally looked around for the source of what had given me such a fright. That's when I saw it, standing directly under a street light alongside a paved road leading through the park, ears perked and gaze trained directly on me.
The creature was bigger than any deer I'd ever seen, even dwarfing me in its horrible stature. I'm no small woman by any means, standing at 6 ft tall and about 270-300 lbs. But this... I don't know, animal? It had to be all of my height, just at the shoulder. And the rack atop his head was a sight to behold in and of itself, or probably would have been, had it not been so badly battered, and in some parts completely snapped off at the end. At one point, I would have wagered that the beast was at least 24-26 points. He would have smashed the record for trophy buck, which is currently 22 points, for those who are curious. The moment I could tear my gaze away from the monstrous, darkly stained antlers crowning the beast, is the moment I really noticed that something was terribly, terribly wrong with the creature. Its fur was filthy and matted with what I can only hope wasn't the same deep crimson stuff staining its antlers, but due to how some patches of its body gleamed as though encrusted with liquefied rubies under the overhead light, my hopes are probably in vain.
Yes, several chunks of its skin were completely gone, exposed flesh wriggling with plump, white little bodies that would occasionally fall away onto the paved road below. This creature was beyond sickly, he looked all but zombified. His skin barely hung on his bones, and his legs were just bent all wrong. This could've been a malformed deer that had just been abandoned young and gotten deathly ill, but I can't express enough to you all the sheer SIZE of this thing. The bottom of its chin would easily come over the top of a brand-new, big pickup truck like a Dually or something. It couldn't be any smaller than a fully grown moose, I swear to you! Despite its horribly emaciated, even rotted state, it was massive, and it was beyond imposing.
But the most horrifying part of all about this creature, is the eyes, or eye. One had obviously been gouged out at some point, replaced by a puckered, inflamed mass of blood, pus and more maggots, but the other one held enough malice – pure, unmistakable disgust and outrage at my very existence – for the both of them. I was completely frozen for what felt like just a moment, terrified beyond screaming at the sight of an almost skinless deer skull snarling with rage at me atop such a grotesquely huge body. The lack of visible muscle framing the creature gave me no illusions to the level of its strength, somehow I just know that if the thing wants me dead, I'll be dead.
But finally the creature gave me what I can only call a nod of its disgusting, antlered head, then turned away and sauntered off towards the neighboring strip of woods. I swear it felt like I was only there for about a minute or two, but when I could finally move, blink, breathe, the eastern skies we're starting to lighten. I had several missed calls and voicemails from a worried future fiancé, and numerous texts as well, all wondering where I was and why I hadn't come to bed.
I rushed back home across the street and wrapped up my ankle to stave off the swelling, topped off with the occasional ice pack, but I couldn't sleep for days after what I'd seen, felt and experienced. I was getting paranoid, jumpy, and my partner, godsend that he is, started to worry. I finally tried to tell him about what happened and what I'd experienced, but predictably he thought I'd just been tripping balls. However, notice that I hadn't even reached the park before this happened, I never got to light up. I was not under any influence when I'd seen the beast, not even when I'd lost almost 8 hours of time.
Why am I telling you all this now, after almost 2 years of silence? Well, the past three nights, I've been hearing wet, gutteral snorts and these terrible, snapping scrape sounds out by the tree in the front yard. And the heavy hoof sounds the precede and succeed those noises are more befitting those of a horse, or maybe a moose, rather than any deer. I'm beginning to wonder if the beast from across the street hadn't changed his mind about letting me survive witnessing his terrible majesty.

My story is that I was caught up in the Almeda Fire in southern Oregon in Sept of 2020. It started as a windy morning of the Labor Day weekend. Within hours, a minor brush fire was driven by fierce winds and turned into a 28-mile-long path of destruction! It was an urban fire of homes and businesses along Highway 99. No forests were involved. Long story short: I was without electricity, food, gasoline, and water for over a week. A friend went to work; her job was 15 minutes away. By lunchtime, she received a phone call saying her apartment building was gone (along with 2,600 other dwellings in the Rogue Valley). She and countless others were left with only the items in her car.
To make matters worse, the national guard cordoned off our town so no one could enter and loot. However, if you left, you were not allowed back in (even though I had an ID proving I was a resident). We managed to survive, but it made me want to be better prepared for next time! I carefully researched the world of “preppers” and only bought what made the most sense. I am in my 70s and not interested in buying AR-15s and fighting it out. I purchased the items I (and my neighbors) wished we had during that week. I even bought extra medical supplies because they might help save a neighbor’s life. Each Christmas, I gift “prepper stuff” to my children to prepare them. My prepper kit will be a legacy for my kids.
My prepper kit includes several kinds of water purification gear (I am a believer in redundancy). Blankets and tents for warmth. More than one way to have light (battery LED, oil lamps). Single burner camping stoves and propane bottles for cooking needs. Special attachments so you can refill the little propane bottles. Small but well-made mess kits. Fishing gear. Foldable limb saws and hatchets for dealing with firewood. Flints and strikers to start fires with. Solar stuff so you can recharge your batteries. Top-notch rechargeable batteries. I have a pair of batteries I have been recharging for 2 years, and they are still going strong—battery testers. I even have a brass Alladin lamp with a wick (the original candle) and oil. The list goes on and on. What do you need if suddenly your home is gone or unavailable (earthquake, fire, flood, toxic spills, etc.)? What do you do without electricity for a week or a month? Food -there are Coast Guard food packets that last 25 years! Costco has emergency food boxes that last 50 years! Most of this stuff lives in my car trunk and does fit in two extra-large duffel bags. A lot of energy went into researching what to buy, buying many gear versions, returning the lesser, and keeping only the best of the best.
There are levels of preparedness—power is out for hours or a few days is one thing. A major earthquake or fire that decimates an entire town, city, or area is another level of preparedness. A solar flare, the equivalent of the 1859 Carrington Event, would return us to pre-industrial times. There would be no electricity for at least a year. The transformers on the power poles would fry, and there are few replacements available (Congress is debating funding this now), as they would be hard to build when the factories have no electricity either. A recent solar flare that fortunately pointed away from Earth was strong enough to put us back in pre-industrial mode. Is an Avian flu pandemic coming up next? It is deadlier than Covid and could also wipe out our lifestyle as we know it.
The question is, for what level of events do you want to prepare? And do you want to live through it or go on to whatever happens next after you die? There are scenarios like an atomic war or an epic dystopia that I am unsure if I want to survive. The first step is figuring out what situations you want to prepare for. Next, you start sculpting your life to fit in that shape. Think also of your family and community; most of you won’t be isolated. Your neighbors can be a great asset. I collect old books on home remedies, simple emergency medical care, herbs, and such—it’s a non-digital library of pre-industrial knowledge. I treasure hand-powered tools and hardware. If nothing happens in my lifetime, no problem; I will pass on my Prepper Gear to my kids, who are much more likely to need it.
I follow a weekly Reddit post called “Last Week in Collapse” that summarizes what is happening with climate change, global politics, pandemics, economics, and so on. The writer offers the information so that the individual parts clarify the whole puzzle of what is going on.

For the better part of the last 30 years, Heath and Kara Roberts, Leah Roberts’ older siblings, have been wondering daily about the ultimate fate of their little sister.
Leah embarked on what appeared to be a soul-searching excursion, all the way from her home town of Durham, North Carolina to Whatcom County, Washington.
Due to this case, being fairly prominent on this subreddit, I will not divulge the entire case; the sources I have provided will do that for you. Instead, I will discuss the most common theories on here.
Theories
Eventual suicide as a result of a manic episode, exacerbated by an early life with a lot of tragedy and trauma - Leah had become an orphan before she was even 23 years old, and she had been involved in a near-fatal car accident.
A lot of people suspect that Leah was in a manic state when she embarked on her cross-country road trip. Despite leaving behind a note that claimed she was not suicidal, her state of mind has piqued the curiosity of many who have followed her case - and many also feel that she may have even taken her own life right near a Jack Kerouac-inspired destination in Washington.
Death by misadventure - Leah’s 1993 white Jeep Cherokee was found wrecked and abandoned on a road off of Mount Baker Highway at the foot of the Cascade Mountains. There was no evidence of a robbery or struggle, and her cat, Bea, was also gone. Some suspect that Leah had died from exposure to the wilderness, or was even attacked by a wild animal.
Foul play - There has been a lot of speculation as to whether an unknown person had staged the car wreck, and had done harm to Leah. In 2006, it was discovered that a wire had been cut, which allowed the car to accelerate without anyone needing to put their foot on the gas pedal. The investigating detectives found a fingerprint under the hood, and some male DNA on an article of Leah’s clothing.
This discovery led the detectives back to the man who had claimed that Leah had left the Bellis Fair restaurant with a man named “Barry”; this man had worked as a mechanic, in addition to having a military background. This man has moved to Canada since - and though his fingerprint was not a match, detectives were still waiting on the DNA sample.
Disappeared deliberately to start a new life - I almost never put any stock into disappearing in order to start a new life. I think a lot of people severely underestimate the excruciating difficulty of such a maneuver.
To be able to pull this off, a person needs to have ample money, connections, resources, and not slip up even once. Leah was able to live off the money she received from her inheritance, and her state of mind is to be considered here, but her case is well-known, and she wouldn’t have been able to live off her inheritance money forever - in addition to having to forge an entirely new identity, and essentially become a new person.
At the end of the day, it is beyond tragic that Leah’s brother and sister still do not have closure to this day, nearly a quarter-century after the disappearance of their sister. I have my doubts about any resolutions for this case, but I can only hope that her siblings can find out the truth one day.
What do you believe happened to Leah Roberts?

I work in Maryland USA for a nonprofit food pantry/crisis center that provides financial assistance to low-income families and individuals. I am the sole official paid employee. This is a church sponsored organization under an umbrella church/faith-based organization made up of multiple churches all around the world. In my employment group, there are two other employees: the church secretary and the church maintenance lead (the church is our sponsor and we're on the same campus as them). The three of us don't get the same benefits as the other employees of the larger faith-based organization. The maintenance lead and I are part time, so we don't get benefits other than retirement, and the church secretary gets her paycheck via tithe or something weird like that, so her benefits get tied up in that. She finally got sick leave and vacation time recently as she's been working there for almost ten years. It's complicated. My paycheck comes from grants that fund the community centenonprofit I work for. I believe the maintenance lead gets his paycheck from tithe as well, although I've never met him as I don't attend the church.
The issues began when the pandemic hit. I am one of the receptionists and my schedule was changed such that I no longer interface with clients directly. This was done in part because the center was closed due to lockdown and because I'm immunocompromised. I worked from home for a year and a half and took calls from home. However, the phone system broke and all the calls forwarded to my personal cell phone which it was only supposed to do during the hours I worked, not at all times of the day every day of the week we're open. My supervisor - one of the pastors - refused to fix it and wouldn't pay me for the extra hours I was taking calls. Not taking calls wasn't an option as the food pantry was in serious demand (obviously), and my phone was now the only working phone for the center. Found out they were delinquent on the phone bill. I might have in writing (text on my old phone which I am currently trying to charge) that they needed me to take the calls outside of my scheduled hours but that I cannot report more than my 20 hrs. The office phones were fixed last year after they all but forced all of us to come back to the office and I wouldn't let them leave until they fixed it. It was actually starting to affect my mental health.
In between my supervisor and new site manager (unfortunately a family friend of my husband) not reporting when they got COVID (they got several people sick) and them being ableist towards me and my health concerns (telling me to keep myself safe or quit), they cut my hours down to 10 for "budgeting reasons" but explained it in such a way that it was because I needed days to work from home due to my health concerns. I was starting a new treatment and it was at the request of my doctor that I do hybrid remote until my health stabilized. They were given a proper heads up and documentation. I was also hospitalized as a result of one of my conditions. They saw all of this and cut my hours for an unknown budgeting issue and because my health made me "unreliable", despite my job being performed perfectly 100% remote. Again, I don't interface with clients anymore outside of emails and phone calls. My job right now is the man the desk when no one is in the center and listen to the site manager take zoom calls in his office for his other job. Other than turning the lights on/off none of my actual work duties affect the site or need to be done on site.
Why I'm making this post is because after the church secretary returned from my supervisor giving her COVID (he came into her office hacking up a storm and said nothing about having COVID), she asks me if I got my raise yet. Apparently, the overarching organization approved for us three in the group to get the same raise the other employees under the umbrella organization get every four years. It was going to be applied retroactively. I told her I hadn't heard about that. She then asked if I'd gotten my benefits this year yet. I told her I don't get benefits as I'm part time. She then got quiet. Apparently, my supervisor told her I got sick and vacation time. He also told her I was getting a raise. She then got really angry because he told her all of this after it was exposed in a finance meeting that $13,000 was unaccounted for in the community center budget and her expected yearly income was less than what the treasurer projected it to be. Basically, the umbrella organization had the correct numbers but, on the church and community center level, money was being moved around. I told her my hours had been cut and she got livid. She has alleged that it's likely my hours were cut to make a salary for the site manager (the family friend) and one of my other coworkers who is considered a volunteer. I am the only legal employee on the books of the center. The umbrella organization has no idea what is going on and is likely going to investigate/do an audit soon according to the church secretary.
The last straw was when I gave them a heads up that my new treatment was going to be a rough one and I asked if I could take calls from home because I knew we had no in office events or projects that needed me to be there in person (keep in mind at 10hrs I only work two days a week). They told me I could be home, but not work because I wouldn't be there in person to help them with whatever they might need. I am beyond frustrated. My job can not only be done 100% remotely, the even set me up with a program that allows me to access my work computer from my home computer. I have all the tools to assist them from home. They refuse to use them on the basis that I am not physically present. The only part of my job that would need me to be physically there is filing. Because making the three-foot walk from their desk to the filing cabinet needs to be done by me apparently. I believe my manager's exact words were "When you're home, it's like out of sight, out of mind, you know?" They didn't even include me in the conversation about whether or not I could work from home. I sent them an email a week in advance of needing a decision to be made, they didn't respond, but then my supervisor came in and told me they decided I should stay home but not work or get paid. They do this most of the time I bring up concerns in written form. They won't include me in the decision making, then respond verbally.
I have made plans to quit and find employment elsewhere as I'm deeply hurt by this, and this isn't worth the toll it's taken on my mental and physical health. This also isn't getting into the bullying by one of my coworkers (one of the ones that is allegedly getting paid and the one who pushed for me to return to the office. they also asked me a lot of questions about my position and pay rate a few months before my hours were cut). I am in my twenties and they're well into their 60s.
My question is, if I get proof that some shady dealings are going on, do I have a case for wage theft or do I have some sort of case for advocacy at all? I do have in writing (via email) detailing their comments about how my well documented health concerns and conditions are not their problem and that, though I am performing all parts of my job well and without issue, if I cannot keep myself safe from COVID, I should quit. I have a friend who is good with legal things telling them I could file a complaint on the base of disability discrimination. I'm not entirely sure if I can? I don't fully understand the process and haven't had a lot of time to look it up between job applications.
Also, not sure if this is relevant but we do receive and apply for grants on the basis of our nonprofit status from the state, county, and other faith-based organizations. Additionally, if we do get audited or investigated, like it looks like we will be, is there anything I should hold on to or make sure I have as evidence?
PS: I am getting the raise of 1% going forward but also backpay raise of 5% (calculated from July of last year till the beginning of March of this year) which was the raise they used to give every four years. Why they lowered it to 1% I'm not sure, but I'll be getting around $500 in a lump sum check hopefully in the first week of April. Feels like a participation trophy, but at least the raise is a real thing.

Hi! My name is Oleksii, I am an iOS developer from Ukraine. I am creating a mobile AR game that will help homeless pets that were affected by the war in my county.
