- Comment on Hughes.net? 2 weeks ago:
Former hughes repair guy here. If it’s your only choice, sure. But it’s utter trash. It’s susceptible to so many environmental conditions. Certain geographical areas can experience various service levels too. Data caps will sneak up on you faster than you realize too. Not to mention the pole or tripod mount that has to be installed, yard dug up and holes drilled into the house. Seen plenty of tripod mounts be ripped off a roof, damaging the roof in the process.
Anyways…avoid any satellite isp if possible.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 5 weeks ago:
Outside of the biz world, people aren’t buying as many devices that would use the os. Or not replacing the ones they had that can’t upgrade?

Gloves, yes. But everything else actually isn’t an issue. The mass involved here dampens better than when it still had the wood handle.

Well, I’m not surprised sadly.
- Comment on Dyson Has Killed Its Bizarre Zone Air-Purifying Headphones 1 month ago:
Ya. But also it’s nice seeing someone doing stuff just for the ‘fun’ of it.
I own zero Dyson products (way too overpriced to me), but I can respect the engineering behind their stuff (mostly).

Most are average dudes in my area. There’s a few exceptions for sure though. But it’s also a big local football area, so athleticism isn’t uncommon.

- Comment on How do people like toast and bread rolls, but not bread crust? 2 months ago:
I prefer the heels for sandwiches tbh. It hold together better, doesn’t have holes that spreads leak through. Also, no one else in my house eats it so I’m guaranteed 2 slices XD

Bruh, I forgot to mention Serranos. Love them too.
- Comment on Hot sauce is for Dad to protect his food from scavenging by lesser beings 2 months ago:
The dozens of us that can actually taste any flavor from these nuclear plants aside… To me the reapers have a more earthy flavor than ghost. Guess I’m not as much a fan of its profile. Same for habaneros. Love their heat, just not so much it’s flavor.
- Comment on Hot sauce is for Dad to protect his food from scavenging by lesser beings 2 months ago:
Oh geez. I have a jar of dried ghost peppers and Carolina reapers.
The ghost taste better, not AS spicy as the reapers. But they burn much longer. Reapers

Same, buts been several years now. Att fiber. Don’t use their modem either (except post power outage to establish coms back then I remove it.) I do use a ddyns service just in case. But it’s been the same ip for years
