Dude don’t skip over Sam from HAI. He’s cool people, and his voice is incredibly soothing. Not like that asshole Sam from Wendover.

Those two guys are a big part of why I use Nebula. And LeagleEagle. And it’s how I found Crazy History.

Hah you took the bait. Hypocrite.

I’ve got a hound-mix that came from Louisiana (I think). His mom was a bloodhound, his dad was a deadbeat who hit it and quit it.

He’s shorthaired, tan, like 75lbs…and he loves to bask.

In the summer he’s got two modes, bask or zoomies. That’s it.

NGL this is bullshit advice. Feeding trolls is like feeding seagulls…minimal cost/effort, hours of entertainment, and you leave with everything covered in shit.

Screenshot of a social media post with title “Always check your child’s homework”.

Below the title is a picture of an elementary school worksheet…the type with an area to draw on top and a writing prompt with a few blank lines below. From top to bottom:

A drawing, seemingly made by a child, maybe 6-8 years old. Drawing is of a woman wearing a crown with a glass bottle in one hand and a microphone in the other.

Below that, the prompt: “To relax, my mom likes to”.

Below that, the child’s response: “drink tequela and sing”

Mistaken spelling of tequila was present on the page. Personally, I like to think that if this is real, the child asked their mom without context how to spell the word, and she drunkenly stammered out the letters you see here.

I wonder how well pop-culture references will persevere in science.

Like Lucy, for example. How many people in 10 generations will know about the Beatles?

Because you don’t want someone else using your toothbrush on your account. Do you?

Edit to add: just thought of the implications. It’ll totally screw up your algorithm. Just like how now that my kids can get on YouTube in the living room, I only get suggestions for Minecraft videos. I don’t even like Minecraft.

The computers I remember in my libraries back in the early 90s didn’t use internet, but a private dial-in network with a text/menu-driven interface sort of like a BBS.

Eventually, when they moved to the internet, there was a bit when it was reachable over telnet…I don’t know if that was intended or not but it made it very easy for me to search the catalog from home. It was never advertised, I just happened to notice the address on the terminals at the library and figured I’d give it a shot.

Gaslighting is old-hat man.

Nowadays it’s kitchen-faucet-lighting.

Really curious what ever came of the 4chan breach.

My pet conspiracy theory is that 4chan was used for psyops…manipulating teenagers/20-somethings, breeding the whole incel/mens rights shit, and using it as a megaphone for Trump…and the admins were in on it.

As others have said, highly location dependent.

I switched from Xfinity to T-Mobile 4 years ago because tmobiles speed (raw speed) blew Xfinity out of the water…especially for upload. Latency and jitter suffered a bit but not enough to greatly effect voice calls. It didn’t help my online gaming skills, but likely would’ve if I were a higher-caliber gamer. For me, the latency between chair and gamepad was much more impactful.

However Xfinity did some upgrades in my area and the roles have reversed so I’m back to Xfinity. Tmo is still absolutely usable, but Xfinity now offering 250mbps upload makes my mouth water.

Some sort of pigeon/chicken hybrid? With a diet high in carotenoids (like a flamingo)?

Chigeon? Picken?

Yep. That’s what the selfish ones have been telling us for thousands of years.

I called corporate and they said they would put in a ticket with the landlord. What more can I do?

If they aren’t divorced they are probably crazy.

Target the divorced MILFs. That’s your best bet. This also applies if you’re a cis-het woman.

Well if humans could run on coal it would be a valid argument…

Not buying another modem when the ISP quietly upgrades the CMTS and makes more speed available in your neighborhood.

Nah wifi was actually originally on 5GHz spectrum, with 802.11a. It came out shortly before 802.11b, which used 2.4GHz, and was objectively better…but component shortages for 802.11a devices made the inferior 802.11b more successful on the market.

Then in 2009, after 802.11b and 802.11g came 802.11n, which used the 5GHz spectrum, and introduced dual-band routers to consumers.

Most recently, 6GHz got allocated with the advent of Wifi 6E and Wifi 7.

This exactly. Wifi is damn near unusable in dense residential settings. It’ll cut it for streaming and web browsing, but much more than that and you’ll feel the pain of interference from all the other wifi APs in the area.

Especially with most of them defaulting to 80MHz on 5GHz and many of those defaulting away from UNII-2. which leaves 4 non-overlapping channels (with one of them giving trouble with a lot of devices). We’re right back to where we were in 2.4. Even worse, I think, since wifi is more ubiquitous.
