  Sadly no, just fiber to the cabinet, then cooper to the house. When I called the provider to tell them I was switching to Starlink they said there were ‘curently no plans’ for fiber to the premises in my area, so I suspect it’ll be a few years away at the very least.

  Annoyed to be paying money to that dick, but it’s literally 10x faster at 420mb, which is what I’m getting now.

  Elon’s a straight up Bond villain. I feel guilty for owning a Starlink, but it’s the only high speed internet in my area. Ridiculous that this pricks behaviour means that I now have to justify using his services.

  In a trashy book from the 50s called Hollywood Babylon, Kenneth Anger includes a short section about the thenNancy Davis during her early acting days at MGM.

  He claims she had a reputation for being very friendly with studio executives, and that she was “popular” among them. Anger frames it as part of the Hollywood casting-couch culture of the era.

  Probably BS, but who knows.

  But sleep is amazing. To me it’s a partially interactive movie where you disassociate and live out different lives with other characters who are an amalgamation of different people in weird semi-familiar settings in the past and present. It’s wild.

  Thoughts and prayers, brother. That is heartbreaking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just find these reductive generalisations a bit silly and divisive. As if anyone born between arbitrary years x and y is part of some sort of united collective that can reasonably critique everyone born between years v and w.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Performative vegetables: veggies you pack in your kids lunch even though you know they won't eat them⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We did this ‘baby led weening’ stuff and, for a while, the sprogs would reach for the broccoli and the veggies. However, as soon as they were exposed to chicken dippers by the grand parents, all bets were off. We, of course, try to present them with balanced meals and sometimes they’ll grudgingly eat some of their veggies, but it feels like a loosing battle.

  It really does. I had fried frog legs in Malaysia. Just like tiny chicken wings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Traditions are just a society having OCD⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True. Of course, there are plenty of good traditions. Birthday cakes. Halloween. Christmas. Sometimes OCD can be useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best stay away from that guy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think ‘that guy’ is phenomenally successful due to the weird and wildly superficial dating world tech has created.

  I’m quite fortunate as I met my wife before the apps had taken over. Other than being reasonably tall and having a pulse, I am far from being that handsome dude.

  But I did ok as I was brought up around women and have always used humour as a crutch since I was a kid, which I found women were responsive to when I grew up.

  I doubt I’d have survive the online dating world with my beer belly and average face.

  I watched this with my son last night. Quite enjoyed it. I find the cadences of the narrator’s voice oddly soothing, although ironically it sounds very like an AI voice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t use my Amiga, ST, ZX Spectrum or Mega drive on anything other than my CRT. They were designed for that pixel blur and playing on a modern TV is just not the same. I hadn’t realised the difference it made until i tried it and now I can never go back to using an LCD for any of my 80s/90s devices.

  However, beyond that somewhat niche use, CRTs are otherwise entirely pointless and basically a worse display experience in every concievable way when your source is anything produced after the advent of HDMI/Display Port.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ibuprofen⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have gout, which runs in my family (but I doubt the 90s pints helped). Therefore I was eating Ibuprofen like skittles for way too long to take the pain away. I finally relented and got on the meds after the diet and exercise didn’t fix it. Now I never take ibuprofen, and it makes me worry about how much damage I did to my organs and stomach lining while I was using it.
