Anyone reading regional northeast news, knew he was a shit for decades.

Somehow paying for an insipid “reality” show to rehabilitate his image worked. What does that say about our fellow citizens?

Yet if any major network actually carries that, we need to know

YouTube needs to know we’re not ok

Same here. He may be spoiled that I have gigabit fiber, Ethernet to every room, and gigabit WiFi. Multi-gig switches are starting to be affordable and claim I should get several gig without even upgrading my existing cat5e …… soon

So far I’ve let him deal with it - he’s an adult now, technically. But it’s getting to be time to see if I can do any better

Yeah I can see that but realistically the goal is more likely to terrorize brown skinned people from voting.

Thats even their excuse, that they’re preventing undocumented immigrants from voting. Too bad that’s almost non-existent plus you can’t tell by the color of peoples skin

Speaking of not keeping up their infrastructure, we’re told there’s not enough dorm space so only 10% of juniors and seniors can live on campus. Yep, he’s getting out of the dorms next years whether he likes it or not.

…… and he’s apply for “in Washington DC” for one semester next year so that will make it even more challenging

Tried that. No go.

There’s a jack but the college says they took the infrastructure out so it doesn’t go anywhere.

Which is annoying because my other kid at a different school said similar but Ethernet just worked

I don’t know where the nearest hotspot is - there’s a lot of closed doors. But yeah they had him run multiple speed tests

Latency 300-1200 ms, bandwidth topping out at 12mbs. But the thing is he’s captain of one of the e-sports teams and on the board of the larger e-sports organization. How are you supposed to compete with latency like that?

He’s on the top floor of his dorm so I don’t know if that’s part of it. Also a good view of the skyline if I have to pay for a hotspot. He was getting much better performance using his phones hotspot than the college WiFi, but ran into the cap pretty quickly

So far IT support keeps wanting to futz with settings on his pc, but he was getting reasonably close to gigabit WiFi with single digit latency at my house, and use WiFi to connect to his phones hotspot with decent performance. He’s able to connect in his dorm and he has settings that gave outstanding network here so I find it hard to believe the issue is his pc

Typically it’s the other order, in the us. We want to build a train line but it’s ungodly expensive and legally fraught to get that right of way. However there’s a convenient highway where we already have a right of way, and there’s room for rail in the median.

I’m not convinced it’s a good idea since no one would want to use it, but it’s well-meaning people trying to get a thing done

Like 10 minutes ago I was trying to figure out the cost of adding a hotspot to my mobile plan, but I couldn’t find a strsightfiward answer. They ended up sending me to their chatbot who took me round in circles before eventually giving in. Why did that have to be so frustrating? Why did it need ai?

(My kid has poor WiFi in his dorm and his college doesn’t seem to be able to help)

Yeah it’s hard to believe spending that much on a vehicle. I mean, sure there are wealthy people but most of us arent

Yeah it’s surprising how opposite it can be.

The other day I was walking my dog and I have to be careful to face away from the street because people keep stopping for us to cross when she’s just sniffing at something.

Then we actually did cross the street at an all way stop intersection, and cars came to a stop in all directions! However we got halfway across and a new car came around the bend and almost hit us. Despite the stop sign. Despite all other cars already stopped. Despite me and the dog in the crosswalk

Please no. LLMs can usually string together coherent sentences and have a much tighter grasp of reality

Maybe. Cheese also has protein, and is pretty good at making you feel full. Any snack i eat less of is a healthy snack

There’s also a protective element in dairy, at least in animals. I believe they haven’t been able to create human studies to prove this either way

My kids keep asking me to make bread again but I put away the bread machine for good reason. My health couldn’t afford it

That was always our weekend tradition: start the machine after dinner and settle in for a night of gaming, and have hot freshly made bread as a midnight snack. The problem is there was never anything left over from a loaf

I’ve spent the last year teasing my older brother for buying a full sized truck, now that he no longer has a house or property. Joke is on me though, he just bought a huge camper to tow with it. I guess he does have use, at least a couple days of the year

I’m pretty sure you can choose to install an entertainment center if you wish to. But why should those of us who do not want have to pay?

Maybe no one really wants a 9,000 pound truck, nor to pay for a battery 2-3x the size of car batteries. Not only does the battery add a huge cost but they had to know there would never be any volume …. And that’s across all three Silverado, Hummer and whatever the gmc badge is

Mostly because they can. You really need to have everything automated anyway, you need at least a backup screen, so you might as well put it on that screen. It’s probably cheaper at that point to control everything by screen than to do install buttons

There’s still some hope

Bullshit. More of the “same sides” bullshit. If they don’t recognize how much better they have it with one of the parties, it’s all on short attention spans and trolls like this.

Consider ACA as the big one.

• It was mainly pushed through by one party, and over ten million people got health insurance that didn’t have it before. That’s a big deal.
• it’s been mainly rejected by the other party until now they effectively ended it, and ten million people lost health insurance. That’s a really big deal
