- Comment on Enthusiasts bond twelve 56K modems together to set dial-up broadband records — a dozen screeching boxes achieve record 668 kbps download speeds 5 days ago:
My first modem was an AT&T 300 baud acoustic coupler. My last was a USRobotics 56k for the BBS I ran till the early 2000s.
I later switched to DSL for my Internet, but the reason we never did this sort of thing was the ISDN was just easier to get bandwidth and the tech existed to do what you needed with a few of them.
12x POTS lines, or 6 full duplex ISDNs.
My 56k never actually achieved that, most of the time it was 33.6 or 28.8.
This is neat, and fun to see them still being tinkered with.

- Comment on 'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds 1 week ago:
High-altitude winds between 1,640 and 3,281 feet (500 and 10,000 meters) above the ground
So y’all will have in depth conversations about the meaning of the colors of a fucking Labubu with ChatGPT, but can’t be bothered to ask it to do the math on this?
Cause 10,000 meters isn’t 3,281 feet.

It’s a really bad move by iHerb. They made him a brand ambassador or some shit in 2023. The company was doing fine then they had to get in bed with Brainworms’ buddy.
You can find all sorts of info on the press releases. Bunch of really lame brain marketing bullshit.
- Comment on US | White House tries to tamp down corporate panic for high-skill visa holders after last-minute overhaul 1 week ago:
Deflection is a thin facade my simple friend.
Rational why you think it’s good to cut education and put people into decades of debt to get a shot at a half decent job, that’s the topic.
Yet you continue to dance like you’re a Trump appointee being asked about Epstein.

Oh, I’m just exploring the depths of your cuntbaggery. It’s quite interesting, I’d love to hear the rationale behind these beliefs but I fear it’s as shallow as they are themselves.

Pretty much all of it. And my beliefs are firm, so…
So
- doge cutting department of education is fine.
- Going a half million in debt for a degree that gets you a 60k starting salary nursing job is normal.
Got it.

Which part?

What’ll happen is the entire offices get moved overseas instead.
With the Department of Education getting cut more and more, funds cut to higher education when we should be making it free for everyone…
The few jobs Americans will be qualified for in the future, primarily services like:
- Janitorial
- Plumbing (TVC)
- Receptionist (TVC)
- In house Barista
Those will disappear as well. Only jobs left for red meat 'Mericans will be picking fields on farms, you know, the ones ICE has been making available.
So, don’t worry! Dear Leader is making the Merican jobs available for ya’ll while making sure not to over educate anybody and doing more to ensure those woke office intellectual jobs don’t come to our golden shores.

- Comment on Elon Musk tells Tommy Robinson protest ‘violence is coming’ in call for change in UK government 2 weeks ago:
So let me get this straight, they arrest anyone with a remotely misspelled Palestine Action shirt but this insufferable ketamine addict gets a free pass openly calling for violence.
Dear Political Leaders, especially those on the lenient left.
Pull your collective heads out of your ignorant asses. Appeasement didn’t work when Neville Chamberlain tried it you fucking twats, and isn’t going to work for modern fascist.
You fuckers need to be the first against the wall once this is all done.
