It was pretty obviously an act as early as 1987 when the iron sheik and hacksaw got pulled over in the same car and arrested for dwi/possession. Fans weren’t so much angry about the substance abuse as they were the bitter rivals partying together off the clock.

I stopped off in Oregon once for some McDonald’s. My total ended up being $8.00 exactly and I let out a little smile and told the cashier ‘wow perfect, what are the chances’
She looked at me like I was an idiot, and I learned some things about Oregon that day.

- Comment on US | Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP 6 days ago:
Yeah, line of sight can be a real killer for that type of signal. Is the object that is blocking the view just another building? You could make friends in that building and get them to sign up. Then that building that was in the way is now what they want line of sight to!
WISPs won’t really go down this road explaining all of that to a customer. It sounds unprofessional and unreliable, and on the flip side the buildings that realize they’re an important relay start to charge higher rent for that antenna on the roof…so this angle is rarely discussed. But it’s essentially how they grow their network.
I’ve sat on a roof before looking at a building a block down the road thinking damn that building needs to just go away. After the job I’d go to the marketing team and tell them how great it would be to get in that building. They would decend on that building like vultures. Your WISP may have even targeted that building and got in there because you checked!

Have you checked with the WISP to see if the exclusivity contract does in fact stop you from getting their service?
I worked for a WISP that laughed at those contracts and stuck an antenna on a windowsill. The exclusivity is for the DMARC and wiring going to your unit. If the WISP doesn’t need it then theres nothing in their way. It’s like sticking one of those cell sites in your house, who’s going to stop you?

I stumbled onto these on Amazon last night actually. The user submitted video reviews are insane. I was screaming. I got to the head scarf that blocks the 5Gs and I had to stop.

I was just thinking the other day there could be a business behind selling fake CRT shells that you can snap modern flat screens into. Just because. They could even include custom styles like this Shrek or hello kitty

Please God let some bug at the carrier level incessantly provision these T1s to a max of 1.5mbps because that would be so fucking funny.

When your starcraft LAN matches keep lagging out on the default option IPX. You try the other option but it says not installed. So you have to figure out how to reconfigure your network adapter in windows 98 to use this new thing called TCP/IP. You’re in middle school and youtube doesn’t exist.
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 2 months ago:
I went to college for networking but the most productive class I’ve ever had where I learned the most about the internet was instead back in high school. This teacher would make 20 page packets with the most obscure questions like what’s the weight of model number 62xRG4 (some obscure car part or something) and he told us to google it. We would spend entire classes just searching for information we would never use, but it drilled into me how to go about finding the information I need. It’s been utterly invaluable. Thank you Mr Ward.

Just gotta find a server with one of the mods…

The best part of PZ modding is how little you have to do. Boot the regular game and click multiplayer and just join a modded server. The game will download, install, and apply a few hundred mods without you doing anything.

It’s a real shame they stuck this song on the end of a long video. The video is neat but the music video at the end is an absolute banger. Skip to 22:30 if the timestamped link doesn’t work.

They’ll roll out the Zuckbot for some public speaking so everyone can focus on how weird he is instead of anything else.

FWIW PG&E is the entire west coast - WA or OR is probably lower cost of living than CA. It’s also a pretty terrible company from what I’ve seen. I’ve surveyed a lot of really nice power grids and then I visited CA and saw what they call a utility pole… Not to mention every year it seems like they burn down half the state.
Those recent LA fires had PG&E releasing public statements saying it absolutely wasn’t them this time, before anyone even suggested it was.

Do you have attic access over that wall? A really long HDMI/RCA could go from behind the TV into the wall, up to attic, skip a few studs, then down to a brush faceplate behind the consoles

- Comment on Would it be a bad idea to show up at a protest outside a Tesla dealership with a sign that says "Deny Musk, Defund Doge, Depose Trump"? 3 months ago:
Yeah, instead OP should fill a gas can with Gatorade and casually sip from the can while at the protest. If anyone asks, say you brought it to show your support for combustion engines. There’s no way that can be interpreted as a threat, right?
