Is Anyone Else Enduring Disruption With Spectrum?

I currently subscribe to Spectrum for cable and internet. A few weeks ago, my family and I noticed random audio pauses within recorded and live programs among multiple channels. We called Spectrum and were serviced the day after our initial inquiry; we were informed our connections were good, but that our older DVR machine was the culprit. We surrendered the older DVR machine and received a new one free of charge. Things were fine up until today when the audio pauses began again. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, what can we do to ensure our programs are uninterrupted? Mind you, I counted 5-6 pauses every two minutes, which has negatively affected our viewing.

Disclaimer - yes, I know cable is overrated.

looking for someone to practice german with

Hi all,

I know this is probably a longshot but i’ve been teaching myself german for about a year and a half now… i’ve come far, able to consume film and read full novels in the language, but since i’ve only had myself to practice with, I haven’t gotten much better conversationally.

If there‘s anyone who is either a native speaker or proficient, who would be willing to meet up at Javas or Spot once a week or so, I could really use someone to practice with!

Groomer for a difficult pup

Hello! Asking if anyone has a recommendation for a groomer who deals with difficult dogs. Our pup has always had a tough time when it comes to getting his nails trimmed. We used to have a great relationship with Pet Star Grooming on Monroe ave. But since they closed we have struggled to find a groomer that would even take time. He needs to he restrained and most of the groomers we have met wont do that, refuse to take him without even attempting it and/or require sedation. We are ok with the sedation, but even sedated he still needs help. Hoping others are in this same situation.Thank you in advance !

Kayaking Canoeing On Irondequoit Creek

Anyone gone down Irondequoit Creek recently? Primarily from the Ellison Park launch to the bay? Looking to maybe go this week, bookingend the trip with a beer at Rising Storm and K2 (or Bar Bill?). The water level looks to be normal according to https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/0423205010/#parameterCode=00065&period=P7D&showMedian=false

Are there any major trees down or debris preventing smooth rowing?

Central AC install

How much did it cost to have central AC put into your house? Any extra details would be helpful. I know next to nothing about HVAC and this is my first year living without central AC and I already hate it (a luxury, I know). I do have window units but we either have to buy more or keep doors closed which really pisses off my cats. It’s a rental property but I do have a good landlord who is willing to invest in his properties so wanted to see if it was even a feasible option to bring up to him and offer to pay a portion of. The house is just under 1200sq ft in the city.

Body shop recommendations - for All State Insurance (car accident)

Hey yall,

I got side swiped a couple days ago/was involved in an accident and need to take my car to a body shop that is within the All State safe hands program (just what they call their in-network mechanics). Does anyone possibly have any recommendations for shops they have used within the Rochester area and within the All State insurance network? I was gonna take my car to Tall Man's in silver spring's as they are my go-to but...they just are a bit far away now that I've moved and was hoping for a family owned business for a local recommendation.

I have a subaru impreza 2012, not sure if that matters.

Thank you!

edit: any body shop recommendations I guess then would be great since it doesn't have to be in-network. Really would like to work with a family owned friendly business.

Swimming/Beaches

Where does everyone go to swim for the summer? I’ve found it difficult to find actually good swimming spots. I know our options are limited. Definitely willing to take a drive if it means good outdoor swimming!

Looking for hygienic, well ventilated nail salon

I am currently pregnant so I need a very hygienic and well ventilated nail salon. Can anyone provide any? I am attending a wedding and want to have some nice nails. I saw some previous posts and comments that mentioned Empy, but they had some negative Yelp reviews so I’m back to the drawing board. I would prefer to not travel too far. I have previous gone to Bolsa and they did a good job but I want to try somewhere different.
