  Any of the major banks consider breaches as cost of doing business at their scale compared to smaller banks. My bank prides itself on never having a breach, and it is insufferable to develop code for, but I guess it’s the price of security

  As someone who had to support resold Hughes net networking I can tell you that satellite internet is great at downloading large bulks of information, otherwise you run into a problem of physics, adding 88,000 miles of round trip to your internet connectivity(1 hop to space then back to Hughes network gateway on earth, then back to space and then to you) are going to be super latency, gaming is not recommended nor is streaming, it can also be hella spotty as any weather events at your location or at hughes(which I think is in North Carolina?) will impede the line of sight needed between the dishes. I’ve never heard a good experience with satellite.

  Everything has been a downward slide our entire lives which means it also rolls downhill for all the future generations too until someone can yank back on the economic flightstick and get us out of this dive.

  Yeah Lincoln has lucked out compared to Omaha, feels like they’re getting worse every year here I’ve had a couple close calls in recent years that have required us to seek shelter. Power grid has gone out more frequently too. That said I love the city, it’s great for foodies, but driving I-80 through both Iowa and Nebraska I wouldn’t wish on anyone especially if they are at all fatigued, just a whole lot of not much to look at

  My first computer had the following to get a directory listing of a floppy: LOAD”$”,8 That’s how old I am

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the point in getting married?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of a niche answer, honestly me and my wife of 20+ years might still be “living in sin” if it wasn’t for her decision to join the military, in order for me to move with her to her home base, we had to be married. It allowed me to visit Alaska which was a great adventure, though I am glad that she is out and we are living normal lives since.
