The internet service that I get through Xfinity DSL has been abysmal since March 14.  Uploading and downloading proceeds at a glacial pace and  frequently times out before finishing.  I haven't been able to once backup my iPad or laptop to iCloud and I get a message that tells me it may be due to insufficient band-width, FFS.  I understand all the reasons for the internet slowdown but I'm wondering if the internet in my area sucks any worse than it does elsewhere.  As I have little basis for comparison, I would appreciate any input I can get in this regard so that I can gauge the relative suckage of my service.

Also, any input from Hughsnet users on the quality of that service is solicited.

Unsealed indictments including Genocide, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Sundar Pichar   and the whole gang... None of this gonna work for this mermaid. Bioweapons. We are guinea pigs for Genetics Experiment ion by Psychopaths...

So it isn't only the Russian hackers, the Chinese, the Norks, the French, the 30 year old "kid" in his parent's basement, Five Eyes via reciprocity agreements, and, of course, the Israelis but our government via contractors and 'private' companies? Say it aint so! Such a surprising development.

What happens when a Joo does a blackface?

Well, to begin with, the blackface gets an automatic saving throw roll against infection, because Saturn. Since the blackface has a soul by definition, if the Joo has a soul, the blackface gets an automatic activation and upgrade, while the Joo gets a Satiation counter and takes 85% of the upgrade, because "reasons."

Because of course all Jews have souls, so We didn't bother to code for that. It would probably just crash the whole system if you misgendered Joo/Jew under certain... circumstances.

Best of luck! You asked for this.

An insurance adjuster showed me the result he got using this app. Amazing and sort of scary. Basically you take a few photos of your house and this app breaks it all down: all measurements, materials, sq footage, etc. It is crazy. And sort of scary. I'm guessing this is something military/police had for years and now rolling out for commercial use. Though theirs likely has some way to 'see' inside and take measurements and so on.

Why don't these fancy, modern tvs offer an easy "picture in picture" option? We had that on the large tvs in the 90s. Why did it go away? Especially since tvs are larger now and digital- so one would think even easier to do P-I-P.  Heck, why not even multi-pic like Zoom for the tv so one could put simultaneous games on one screen (or whatever else.)

I asked an Indian dude at the Walmart what isle the Cheeze Whiz was in. First, he didn’t even know what it was and chuckled a little. I guess he thought the name was funny. It is. Anyway, he pulls out his smartphone and one of those store barcode readers and starts comparing the two. I said, “Shit! In the old days the guy would just know it was isle 3 but these days I guess you gotta bust out the star charts to see if the planets are aligning properly before you can find the Whiz.” He eventually figured it out but dayyyuuummm!!!

I guess we need high tech solutions to everything, even when it’s not needed. No one’s ever heard of overkill anymore. ::)

You were the one looking for a high-tech, high-falutin' "cheese" solution to your highbrow piehole problem. I think you created this circumstance for yourself--I really do.

Stop fucking your mother so much. ::)

Yeah, she's cremated powder now. I do not think it counts as me fucking her if she goes in through the nostril.

Also, basically no one bothers to tell me to fuck my mother. I think most people who are willing to go that far into an Internet argument, are aware that, that kind of penny-ante tradecraft isn't going to have any kind of worthwhile effect on a Man of my stature.

Meanwhile, enjoy your processed cheese. You are going to marry this one, aren't you? I can tell, because you're going out for the fancy hors d'oeuvres.

Classy. I suppose few gifts for a wedding could be more appropriate than a big ass can of whup-ass.

Keep pounding that dust, faggot. I’ll be enjoying my nachos. Now you can’t have any. :P

Like the others didn't? The best joke was when one even renamed to Alphabet!  Arguably JPL was good also. I also liked Chemical Bank back when...

Got home to watch ball game and Spectrum has a message "you don't need to report an outage. We are experiencing sun related outages on certain channels from 1 to 5 pm." I know Art used to wax poetically about sun related signal problems and such. So guess Spectrum's excuse is true. Sun spots or bursts disrupting some satellite transmissions right now. But strange it would only effect certain channels. Or maybe that is not strange maybe some come from different satellites.
