Since when do woodpeckers eat and/or store acorns???

Perhaps not woodpeckers, but squirrels. Those damn things tear up my plant pots looking for food every damn day this time of year.

I'm positive it was squirrels, which is why I asked why the video says "acorns stored in antenna by woodpeckers failed service" (0:10). Even the title of the video says squirrel....
I've seen squirrels sit and eat tomatoes in my garden before. Well, one did, and got shot dead.

It's not down, but it has been acting a little squirrelly lately.

Builders Warranty rep has asked me a few times to fill out a survey. Then he claims it helps his numbers and will help pay back the engagement ring he just bought.
I am not a heartless ass, but NO. -

I am not a heartless ass, but NO.Sounds like he bought something he couldn't afford. That's his problem, not anyone else's.

Well, here we go boys and girls.
I have to have Comcast for two months while Verizon finishes putting in Fios. I am not happy about it. The range they gave me was 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM with me receiving a call 15 minutes before the tech would arrive. I am now 10 minutes away from work. Excellent. I received a phone call at 11:15 stating that the tech was at my door and no one was answering. Great. As I'm leaving work (taking my lunch to get this set up) I call Comcast to get them to contact the tech and have him stay there. I am 10 minutes away. I get to my address and the tech had left, I am on hold at this point. I get a phone call from a number I don't know and pick up. It's the tech. He's turning around and will be at my place in 5 minutes. Great. Comcast then gets back on the phone with me to tell me that the tech will not be able to make it there until 1:00 PM, hes pulling up to my place at this point. I explained this and they said "okay". I asked the tech if he was a contractor and he said no, hes a Comcast employee. Interesting. We go into my apartment and the tech is setting everything up, he tested the signal strength and it was good. He asks me to test the wireless with my phone. Internet not working. I checked my PC which is wired, no internet. I run an ipconfig and it's giving back a 169 IP. This is after the config dialogue had already popped up. I explained that the router's DHCP was most likely not working. The tech called Comcast 3 times and could not get this working. Comcast then said they "have an outage in my area". No. I said hold on for 2 minutes. I set my static IP to 10.0.0.10 knowing the default is 10.0.0.1 for the router. I now have access to the internet, which I showed the tech. "If a static IP address works there is no outage in my area". I then went into the router and saw that an IP Address range was set from 10.0.0.2 to 192.168.1.254 WTH? I checked the port forwarding rules and I see entries. Comcast did not factory reset this router and someone probably returned this because they screwed up the ip ranges and didn't know how to fix it. The tech is sitting there not knowing what to do this entire time. I then reset the router and went through the install process again, everything worked perfectly fine.
tl;dr Comcast is shit
