Oh yeah, default is 300 now not 3600 or whatever.

though doing 6 hours instead of 1 day.
Why?
It's a public-facing server, when updates are available I want them done as soon as possible. (for my VPS)
But for others, why not?
Then why not set it to check every minute?
Why pick an arbitrarily long time frame like 6 hours?
My point is, if you are going to break away from default values, what is the good reason for the new value. Not just, "I pulled a 6 out of my ass and it felt good" kind of answer.
I thought that six hours was the default? That's what it used to be at least.
It has never been 6 hours. Both

TL;DR = Since you can't disconnect our stuff until 53 days after our submission due to internal Windstream nonsense, you will be refunding us the charges that are accruing. Also, you can pound sand with your early termination fee, as I sent them a copy of the contract where it clearly states at this point of the agreement, we are month-to-month.

Random and hilarious bit of trivial found on Wikipedia today: "In British English, it was once common for a colon to be followed by a hyphen or dash to indicate a restful pause, in a typographical construction known as the "dog's bollocks", though this usage is now discouraged."

Dealing with a health insurance company who is refusing to pay the hospital because we didn't file a car insurance claim... there was no damage to the car other then my wife spraining her wrist...

They might have a point on that one. If you get injured from a car accident, it is the requirement of the insurance of the person that caused the accident to pay for the medical claims stemming from it. That there is no damage to the car doesn't actually play into it. There was damage, and a claim made, but no paperwork filed. If you look at it from the insurance point of view, it sounds valid. Why are they getting the bill for the other insurance company's issue?

Hmm, I see your point so the liability would be on the car insurance. Just not something that clicks in my head.

Right, because it was, presumably, the fault of the other driver.

Well, the Lidar sensors are generally quite expensive still. While some companies claim to have solved that issue, getting a machine learning platform to learn all the nuances involved in operating a multi-ton object safely still seems to be a challenge

But not as big of a challenge as getting humans to do it.

And yet they are still doing it many times better then human drivers.
