Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn’t require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).
Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.
That’s like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, though.
All the stuff I’ve ordered from Ali is still in use (or in my parts bin awaiting use). e.g. All my smart bulbs are from Ali and were pre-flashed with Tasmota. They’re almost 6 years old and going strong.
That might be it. I was guessing since it’s not one I subscribe to.
c/IHadAStroke ?
I almost gave up on the dairy free cheese because Daiya was supposed to be the top-tier one. Tasted like vaguely cheese-flavored plastic strips, and I was not a fan. Also refused to melt until it was just below the temperature of the surface of the sun, and when it did, it was like a pile of glue.
On a whim, I bought the Kroger store brand (Simple Truth I think?) and it’s pretty damn good. Tastes like cheese, doesn’t feel like a mouth full of plastic, melts at a reasonable temperature, the whole works.
Is this picture…what? AI generated? Not that I’m aware of. I just searched for a stock photo of an old lady knitting and this was one of the results. Just grabbed it and added the text.
Maybe this is an old millennial problem, but I’ve had the same cell phone number for over 20 years. The number would actively link me to whatever. But that doesn’t really bother me too much.
What does bother me is that I get enough spam calls as it is. If you don’t carefully read the ToS/EULA/privacy policy when giving them your number for “verification”, you may be giving them permission for marketing calls or to have your number shared with their affiliates.
Paracord. You can weave it into just about anything. Can probably also weave a water filter.
This is the way lol.
I don’t live near the border, but one difference I notice when crossing over is the roads are always better. Doesn’t matter which state I cross over into; roads a better (ours are shit).
Season 13 aired in 2009, so it’s been 16 years IRL, but I don’t think that matters for the time jump.
Bobby was what, 12, 13 when the first run finished? Also, did they say how long they were in Saudi Arabia? If Bobby’s 21, and they were there 10 years, they’d have had to have left when he was 11 which doesn’t check out.
But I did wonder about the aging. Boomhaur looks like shit but he also tans a lot, so that makes sense. Dale looks almost exactly the same, but he’s kind of a basement-dweller/opposite of Boomhaur, so I guess that makes sense.
There’s no way Bill dropped his shut-in weight that fast, but I’ll let it slide. He should definitely be graying though.
Peggy, Kahn, Minh, and Nancy, and the Wassanasongs all look about right, IMO.
Hank, though, doesn’t look like he aged a day.
If you intentionally show up somewhere you clearly don’t want to be just to “boo” people minding their own business, yeah, you should be asked to leave and barred from “participating”.
Common courtesy is to not downvote things in /all that you don’t like if you’re not subscribed. Just ignore it or block the community and move on.
Am I guilty of that? Hell yeah, I am - never said I wasn’t. But I do try to be better and not just knee-jerk to the downvote button if I see something I don’t like in a community I’m neither subscribed to nor interested in.
😆 I’m a dude and have been dieting and exercising lately. I didn’t need to hear this :(
and didn’t even answer their question
TBF, that’s like half the email replies I get when I ask a basic question.
If a coworker doesn’t bother to write the email, I’m not going to bother reading it lol.
It is managed, but I can disable smart features and remove it as an app. But it still pops up constantly (basically like an ad). If you try to do anything from the pop-up, it tells you it needs to be enabled to work. So, it knows it’s disabled but still shoves itself in my face as if I accidentally clicked into 4 different deep settings pages to disable it lol.
I can and do use FF, but I use Chrome for Workspace because … stupid company policy reasons. It works in FF, but the way they have SSO configured, you get logged out every 45 minutes.
So it’s not just me. Okay. Of the group, I was the only one who experienced that.
Google Workspace (what the company I work for uses for collaboration).
I’ve only tried salvia twice, and it always made me feel like my body was being twisted clockwise. Not for me.
