Since June I've been carrying a decibel meter and running a speed test everywhere I sit down to work. Same method every time, so the numbers compare.

What I have near campus is thin. Haraz Coffee House came in at 70 dB on a Sunday morning, which is about conversation volume. Fine for group work, much less for a call or a lecture recording.

For contrast, the quietest place I've measured in the whole metro is CityArts Cafe downtown at 51.6 dB, and the fastest Wi-Fi is BinBong in Mills 50 at 504 Mbps down. The worst was Haan Coffee on Colonial at 3.95 Mbps. I gave up and used my hotspot.

East Orlando is my blind spot. Where do you actually get work done around campus? I'll go measure whatever gets named and post the numbers.

Free, no ads, nothing to sign up for. I started it because I kept driving somewhere and finding I couldn't work once I got there despite great reviews on Google.

Hey everyone,

I am a good driver, never been in any accidents since I started driving in 2011. Always very careful. However, I just checked my mail today after being on vacation and got this notice. I went through all of my mail and I cannot find the first notice I had received at all. Obviously I am panicked, and yes, at the intersection of Fairbanks and 1792, I turned right without stopping fully at the red light.

I totally get that this is my bad. What I am worried about is the Uniform Traffic Citation. I paid my ticket instantly upon seeing this just now, because I know it was my mistake and one I won’t make again. I have never been in trouble with the law EVER, so I am absolutely torn up about not only receiving this, but also the next step.

Because I paid it now…. Do I have a chance that it will be fine? Is there anything I can do? Should I call Winter Park PD tomorrow? I know it sounds stupid but I already feel like some sort of criminal when it was just an empty street late at night, and I missed the sign saying to stop when red.

Edit: I called today and good news, because the ticket was paid yesterday I am good to go.

Anyone have recommendations for good authentic micheladas? I’m Mexican so looking for authentic micheladas. Nothing fancy cocktail version.

Miss these from New Jersey 🫤
