Yeah I recently switched from cable to fiber (finally available), and prior I was using an old as fuck modem/router that capped at 500Mbps. My internet at fastest was 380. I rarely transfer files over the network, so figured why bother? (I did have Gen1 Google Mesh though to cover dead spots). I had a bit of a shopping splurge when I got fiber. Nothing crazy, just an upgraded mesh and a switch (Why the fuck does Frontier provide an ONT with 8 ethernet ports but only one is active?)

Ok RFK. Let’s see you and all of Trump’s squad do it first, and make sure it’s public in realtime. I’d love to see timestamps each and every time he reads AOC tweets.

Yeah, tell that to police who bust people with DUIs when the engine is still off.

I almost failed my first drivers test because I stopped at a stop sign instead of just yielding on a right turn. Still to this day it seems… wrong.

Not really. Most people around the world are pretty much in the same boat. The “leaders” of governments try to propagandize differences, but everyone is living the same shitty existence. Elites vs poors across the globe. Occasionally you get groups that are extremely radical, but it’s not specific really to any country (We see a lot of out of the ME and Africa mostly due to prolonged Colonial abuse, admittedly.)

Frontier new kid in town, big company out money as people switch. Faster internet. Republicans dominate the state but not everyone is mindless and few leftists/centrists dot the state.

Frontier took the money and said, “Watch us trounce the big boy monopoly here”

Frontier trounced all over Xfinity here because of this program. I now have fiber vs 300mbps (400 plan). So many blue dots around WV but the koolaid is in the water.

Let em do it at Point Nemo

My phone book is smaller than a novel and only has yellow pages these days.

2 hour battery time

Watch your card on file. I had the whole enchalada once and loved using the music app and no ads. Card expired for one payment, sub cancelled, and I fixed it immediately. They wouldn’t give it back to me, and refused to refund the larger payment for just Youtube.

It amazes me that this country literally has state borders built around rail systems, a huge dependence on rail for shipping, but decided to just pave over trolley rails, and jack prices of train transit to thousands of dollars for just a few hundred miles. Then the government forces us to pay shittons of money into our vehicles in taxes, insurance, etc without regulating the private companies that we’re forced to pay. Meanwhile other countries have super fast trains to travel, subsidized with tax money, and travel seems to be more efficient.

I don’t see Yarvin on here… this needs expansion.

I’ll probably watch this later, but the growth of AI cults is creepy as fuck. The rationalists have a subsect group called Zizians that believe that doing anything against AI will mean their AI god will punish them, and have weird beliefs they should do crazy unpredictable things in life now to alter the AI’s power of predictability. Like a weird violent charged form of Calvinism.

“massive broadband rollout” but they fail to mention that that rollout cost $200 billion and was thirty fucking years ago.

If it wasn’t for the grants given I’d still be on Comcast paying $80/mo for 325Mbps on a 400 plan that was recently “upgraded” for an additional $10/mo without my consent (the upgrade was replacing 300+mi of lines that were destroyed in a winter storm, lines that were installed in the 90s). Now I have fiber for $50/mo, and Comcast can fuck off on their monopoly. Also, funny thing - their save attempt was to drop my speed to 300 and still have me pay $80/mo.

Also, kudos to the reporter for calling him Mr. Trump as accolades are for those who earn them.

Worst part was after we stripped the carpet and bleached the shit out of it (dog urine). Saw a tiny bug scirry across the floor. Little did I know it wasthe beginning of a war against german cockroaches. It ended with gel bait on every wall, and 10 fog bombs (for my home size it whould have been 5) to nuke the bastards into oblivion. 4 damn months with those fuckers.

And yeah, it was a HDD on its side. No issues really.

A mobile home doesn’t really mean mobile always. In this case, just moved from one area to another. A trailer home. Wasn’t bad either, 16x60, insulation sucked though. I had industrial laminate from an old shoe store, copper pipes, landlord let me keep a 20x20 yard and 400x20 garden, for $100/month (8 yrs ago). Paid $3k to buy it preowned, 2k to move, and about $500 in cleaning and repairs (floor and various things were free sourced mostly), sold it after 6 years for $3k with no cost to move it again.

It was an eyedrop that used a protein or something from jellyfish, that affected human eyes to temporarily see better in low light. Been years since I’ve heard anything about it. Another sensationalized “breakthrough” I guess.
