@Ask_Spectrum kudos for alerting us that there was a problem minutes after the outage started. Big improvement.

Now what will it take to stop having major outages for hours on end in back-to-back weeks?

No DM requests please.

@jvickers0331 @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen All any of your sources do this does is establish antidotes people have regrets (and Answers and Angel are non-objective sources). Not denying some regret (about 1%, according to studies). But weighted against a 40% suicide attempt rate, you do the math.

Still need a study.

[Nathan Wilkinson @NateMWilkinson]

@jvickers0331 @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen That is disingenuous. I'd guess you are aware of that. Studying changes in a population when introducing a new factor is a common type of study. While a control group would be preferred in some scenarios this can still provide valuable and scientifically accurate information.

[Nathan Wilkinson @NateMWilkinson]

@jvickers0331 @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen This is a within subjects survey (https://t.co/kkmAEEHBjW) where subjects are monitored during a process to observe changes. It doesn't not necessarily require a control group. It is a common type of study.

Still waiting for any research supporting your claims.

@jvickers0331 @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen I'd be interested to review your study because it runs counter to what the American Academy of Pediatrics has shown.

@KentSmi43207342 @DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen I'm not sure if you seriously believe that the first step in the process is lopping off body parts or if you are throwing out poor/misleading arguments. But let's be clear, no one gets to this point without significant counselling first.

@PAHPress @Ask_Spectrum Sorry on the PTO.

Instead of working I spent the afternoon in the hammock. Maybe we need more outages.

[Nathan Wilkinson @NateMWilkinson]

@Ask_Spectrum clearly there is an internet outage in Lincoln NE and the surrounding area. Instead of replying to people to get their account info, tweet that there is an outage under investigation and update your outage tool on your website. This would be far more helpful.

[Nathan Wilkinson @NateMWilkinson]

@Ask_Spectrum 2 replies to my tweet saying that you should stop asking for DMs that ask for my DM. Bots gotta bot?

Maybe we'll get 3...

[Nathan Wilkinson @NateMWilkinson]

@Ask_Spectrum @roljamas My suspicion is that you'll have fewer customers waiting to be helped if the internet outages keep happening for hours on end.

[Nathan Wilkinson @NateMWilkinson]

@DavidHa05919463 @TeamPillen Because suicide rate amongst LGBTQ+ youth is scary, the first treatments are reversible, few regret their decision as adults, is supposed by pediatricians, keeps government out of the decisions of parents, and is the loving thing to do.

[Nathan Wilkinson @NateMWilkinson]

Poor, automated, bot-driven customer service really irritates me. I'm curious, which companies in 2023, still go above and beyond? Who has provided you exceptional customer service? #CustomerServiceMatters

[Nathan Wilkinson @NateMWilkinson]

@Ask_Spectrum LOL

[Nathan Wilkinson @NateMWilkinson]

@feelaokay @Ask_Spectrum Yes there are. I have no internet. Many reports on down detector around the Lincoln area.

@azuresupport #azTechHelp Azure Sql Server database performance went bad between Sat morning and Sat night (no changes). Query performance now seems random. Scaling the database (15GB; usually ~10 minutes) almost 2 hours and only 28% done. What is happening?

Sometimes, JavaScript makes me want to flip my table and say, "screw this shit!"

But I can never be sure what 'this' refers to 😅
