his is the third firearms-related outage problem Spectrum has had in the last 12 months.
Texas, which will feel the warming more than other areas of the USA, is strongly religious, Republican, and needs to be isolated for everyone’s protection

Build a wall around Texas and make Texans pay for it.

I thought “stray bullet” meant it didn’t hit what was aimed at and just strayed off. This seems pretty deliberate. And for anyone who doesn’t feel like reading the article, it’s not happening in just Texas.

I read the article, but I don’t think it’s deliberate at all. There are 150M guns in the US, and lots of gun owners are morons. Episodically targeting Ohio, Texas, and California doesn’t seem like it would do much to benefit anyone.

working for an isp in rural NY and PA, this is not uncommon, but for us normally they are normally not “stray”

The comments section here reads like a coping session for spoiled children who didn’t get what they wanted. Came here for Linux, leaving with questions.

Sounds dangerous over there. Do you need ice with illinois national guard backup to help bring you freedom?

We have the freedom to knock out our own internet with freedom bullets. What more could one want?!
