  I’ll take salt and vinegar on my french fries. That’s glorious.

  The ratio on chips is way off though. Too much vinegar, not enough salt.

  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 and hours of entertainment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Children never lie⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This. Speed limit laws are bullshit and their selective enforcement is proof of it.

  The dangerous drivers are the ones that are impeding the flow (i.e. going well below the speed limit when road/weather conditions don’t necessitate it; cruising in a passing lane, etc) or driving unpredictably/erratically (cutting people off, weaving, etc).

  Not necessarily the speeders, though there can certainly be some overlap, particularly in the latter group.

  But speeders are the ones that get ticketed over while those asshats just crash into schoolbusses.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  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 makes my mouth water.

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Senate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-Fi⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Senate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-Fi⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 3 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “cheap” is a relative term.

  Nobody should be buying a DOCSIS 3.0 modem these days. They are obsolete and for some reason still being sold.

  A decent DOCSIS 3.1 modem is at least $200. A Next Gen like S34 is at least $220.

  And then you have to get your own wifi.

  It pays for itself pretty quick (by not paying rental fees), but that doesn’t necessarily make it cheap.

  I absolutely prefer using my own equipment, and do…but it’s also worth mentioning that in many markets, Xfinity removed data caps if you have a rented modem.

  Oh, so only one sex worker was involved in the catapult incident. The rest were no incident.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you work for a company owned by a A..hole⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For good measure, you should skip breakfast and make sure you have a big lunch.

  No reason to give your boss any of your breakfast tho. That’s on your time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you work for a company owned by a A..hole⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Were there multiple catapults, as well?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you work for a company owned by a A..hole⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Have vendor take you out to lunch.

  2. Walk into bosses office and regurgitate the lunch onto their desk.

  3. Profit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you work for a company owned by a A..hole⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ootl…did the catapult incident involve a sex worker?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A building material that lives and stores carbon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that wouldn’t work unless the mine is perfectly sealed.

  The pulp would still get eaten and digested microorganisms and carbon released to air.

  The reason why we have fossil fuels is because of the carbon that didn’t get released to the atmosphere. It got trapped in a hypoxic water/swamps where bacteria and microorganisms couldn’t decompose it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Trump Administration is Building a National Citizenship Data System; State and county election officials can now check the citizenship status of their entire voter lists.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I think you missed the point.

  If you are purged you can’t vote. That becomes a problem on election day.

  You might get a feel-good provisional ballot but no real way to track that it got counted.

  This is what happened last year, except by a bunch of randos claiming that so-and-so wasn’t a legal voter, with no proof or recourse.

  So now they can just check against RNC registered voters and “disable” 10% of people who aren’t registered RNC and no way to prove or possibly even know until after the election passes.

  No thanks.
