What is the deal with power outages in North Akron?

Particularly in the Merriman Valley area. We lost power last night for over 5 hours due to the storm, which made some sense (even though I still think it happens too often). But then in the middle of the day today while it's nice and sunny and nothing is going on, it shut back off with an ETR of 8pm due to "inclement weather"...

I've lived in the Merriman Valley area for 2 years now and over the course of that 2 years the outages are becoming noticeably more frequent to the point that we are now considering moving (since we rent).

But does anyone know the why? We lived near barberton for two years before this and I dont recall one single power outage during that two year span. And we were in an older neighborhood there.

Edit to add: What do you know, less than 24 hours after making this post, we have lost power for the 3rd time since Friday night. Impressive.

[WTT] Canadian Polar Bears and silver quarters.

I’m looking to trade this lot toward something a little more premium.

What I have:

9x 2018 Canada 1/2 oz .9999 Polar Bears

8x S-mint 90% silver proof/state quarters

10x pre-1965 90% Washington quarters

https://imgur.com/a/ZfdNFgM

Hoping to get two items off this list, though I'm open to trading most of what I have or even all of what I have for one item if it's a much rarer version than what I have listed below.

Stuff I’m be interested in:

2001-P Proof Buffalo silver dollar

1 oz Proof Libertad, preferably not a crazy low mintage year

2017 Silver Krugerrand 50th privy

2024 Perth Mint 125th Anniversary 1 oz silver proof

2021 Peace Dollar, OGP/COA preferred

Other cool premium legal-tender silver coins.

Willing to ship to you first if you have at least 30 total feedback.

Thanks!

[WTT] Sovereign for Sovereign. ASEs, Maples, Krugerands, Brittania.

https://imgur.com/a/6nhsdSH

I have 16 ASEs + 3 Krugerrands + 4 Maples + 1 Britannia = 24 oz total silver.

Looking to trade for somewhere between 15-23 oz total depending on what’s on the other side of the trade or trades. Willing to trade 4 or 5 of mine for 3 of yours.

I’m looking for a variety of other sovereign 1 oz silver coins, and I’m trying to avoid having more than 2 of each if possible. Not a hard rule, just a preference. A few examples of some I'd like: Lunar series, Canadian wild life series, Canadian Superman coins, Chinese pandas.

Also I currently have no proofs, privy, uncirculated, or any other official mint special versions at all at the moment so I'm open to anything like that.

I will ship first if you have at least 40 total feedback. I’m on Eastern time. As long as I know by 10am tomorrow, I can drop off at the post office before they close.

Thanks!

"Random 1oz Sovereign"

I've been getting more into collecting sovereign coins rather than just stacking for the sake of stacking. I decided to roll the dice and buy one of those "random 1oz sovereign" coins from eBay. Paid like $4 over spot. I figured worst case scenario i get a scratched up maple or something and then I just dont do it again. But instead I got this! No clue of the actual value, but as someone who is just trying to collect cool sovereign silver coins, I'm calling it a win.

Buying another one now. Next one will probably be a maple with a bend in it or something.

[WTT] 1/10oz gold Maple Leaf for 6 silver Krugerrands + $0.50 face value constitutional.

https://imgur.com/a/NhoM40j

​

As the title says, I'm looking to trade for six 1oz silver krugerrands plus $0.50 face value of constitutional silver.

​

Obviously that's very close to an even trade, ever so slightly in your favor. So I'm mainly looking for someone who prefers gold about as much as I prefer silver.

​

I'll ship to you first. You just have to have a decently long history trading here.

​

Thanks!

Local gun stores that do FFL tranfers?

Looking for gun stores in Akron (North, between Cuyahoga Falls and Fairlawn, preferably) that for sure do FFL transfers for online purchases with a max fee of $30.

Rather not make a list and start calling around if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for the help everyone. Gunbroker does indeed have a full list of places that do FFL transfers plus their fee rate. Plus I got a few good local suggestions here.

For those that downvoted the post, I assume you don't like guns. I'll be sure to buy as many as I possibly can and transfer them to Akron.

Trouble concentrating 8 weeks into Luvox.

Prior to starting Luvox I had a lot of anxiety. Stress would keep me awake almost every night. I developed physical ticks that would increase with stress.

I saw a psychiatrist on Brightside and was diagnosed with OCD and ADHD. I was prescribed Luvox.

I immediately cut out caffeine when I started it. I went from 300+ mg per day to 0. I dont think I had any side effects from my 50mg Luvox starting dose, but the first 7 days or so was miserable in terms of me being tired and nearly falling asleep constantly. Once the caffeine withdrawal wore off, I slept better than I ever have.

The problem is, my focus has gotten sooooo much worse. I always had focus issues but I could down coffee after coffee and keep my focus reigned in a bit. I'm an automation engineer and I do a lot of design work on a daily basis so I have to focus. I don't really want to be drinking all thar caffeine again though, because I do sleep a lot better. But the caffeine was magic for my focus. Now my thoughts are so scattered and crazy that Im surprised I managed to write this post.

Has anyone else had poor focus issues that developed as a direct result of taking Luvox? Or was the caffeine just masking ADHD symptoms that are worse that I ever knew?
