100%. I’m surprised Comcast was able to offer $65/mo given the only alternative is ATT at $85/mo (current market rate).

I actually switched to Comcast recently. The only fiber option we have is AT&T and they have been literally adding $5 to our monthly bill every few months or so. What started as an $80/mo deal became $105/mo for no apparent reason.

Comcast was offering asymmetrical 1 gigabit with a 5 year lock at $65/mo. Install came out the next day and it’s been fine. I’m far more likely to hit 1000mbps actual on Comcast than when I had ATT. But on the flip side the service has a tendency to blip every now and then. No major packet loss or anything just the occasional slowness.

Both companies can go to hell the moment my city introduces municipal fiber. But that’s highly unlikely.

About 7 years! Some on RO water, some without. I was a horrible owner but came around in the last 2-3 years with better maintenance.

Thanks! I took a look at the brass boiler and I’m thinking I might spring for that. I love the Gaggia so much after 7 years I still dont have any plan to replace it. This could be a good way to breathe some new life!

Good idea on testing the water. I had it installed and just assumed the best.

I think most of the scale must’ve come from the first 2 years when I didn’t use RO water. My kettle doesn’t have any scale in it either and I haven’t had to descale it once since we started using RO water.

Ah that sucks. :(

It kind of makes me wish we got some sort of “Dungeon Master” tools to make our own campaigns, but then again, at that point just run D&D with some friends i suppose.

There is a DM mode in BG3! https://www.ign.com/wikis/baldurs-gate-3/Custom_Mode

Every now and then I will jump back into whatever flavor of MUD seems interesting for a few weeks. They’re so much fun but like you say, nobody plays them.

As far as I understand it it’s essentially a humongous legal ponzi scheme. When the US gov issues new bonds they are using part of that revenue to pay back the interest on older issued bonds. In order to pay the interest on the new bonds this year, they use revenue from bonds issued next year. Ponzi schemes grow infinitely, so we’re seeing the same with the US budget as well.

As much as I agree with your argument over OP’s, the unnecessary name calling has reduced it to nothing more than a tantrum.

These figures come from the Hamas Health Ministry, which was also debunked when it admitted over 72% of those killed were combat-aged men, not women or children.

So 28% of Gaza casualties were women and children??? How can they possibly think this is ok??

This would make a great blackstone recipe!

T-Mobile (a U.S. phone carrier) plans include free global roaming at 256kbps down which is bearable for texting apps but unusable in almost anything else. This is perfect!

Yay! We’re up for another month!

Maybe you could share more details about what being “an admin” means? I’m sure there might be a few of us who would want to volunteer but aren’t sure if they possess the prerequisite skills.

“So you want to be a wizard” by Diane Duane. Opened my eyes to magic systems that just aren’t just hocus pocus and wand waving. Remarkably well designed for YA.

Urban fantasy with well thought out magic systems are still my favorite type of books to read today.

I don’t read as much these days but your description of this coffee shop makes me want to!

Your phone’s hotspot likely doesn’t create a local network. The other problem is that Tailscale works by creating a secure tunnel between your client and your PC. Local devices won’t have access to this secure tunnel. You need to setup Tailscale directly on the client device you want to connect to your PC from for it to work.

I’m not sure what this article is trying to imply but if I got an evac alert at 1am I would be dead because I would’ve been asleep.

It’s possible Grok was fed a massive training set of Elon searches over several more epochs than intended in post training (for search tool use). This could easily lead to this kind of search query output.
