People should be happy about a nationwide phone service test, or literally ANY test of our existing infrastructure.

The Internet is fucked, ESPECIALLY newly built network.

Every long-haul fiber system is absolutely pushed past the manufacturer's recommended distance for a link, manufacturers wont even do contracted obligational warranty support of new hardware in the field because it is operating so far outside of suggested distance parameters. This, coupled with the fact that we are pushing hundreds of gigs over Clinton era built fiber with a life expectancy of 10 years in 2023 should scare the shit out of you.

There is no cellular network without this backbone. Cellular towers are dependant on hard network infrastructure. The more redundant and well built systems from 20 years ago can't handle the amount of traffic so it is being phased out and new network infrastructure is built to be barely hanging on right out of the gate.

The old POTS system was built to withstand a nuclear attack. New infrastructure is taken out by a stiff breeze.

You should want the infrastructure to be tested, even though they are gonna lie about the results.

Redbox, but USB flash drives with DRM free movies at several quality levels. Would you use this service rather than pirating?

I want to know if Orville Redenbacher saw the popcorn scene in Real Genius and see the expression on his face. Could he have been the stunt double in the house?

Sitting alone in the quiet of my house and considering a nap. Such a rare and wonderful opportunity🙂

@Russ just baptized my nephew Logan in the Koi pond a few minutes ago!

Just tried and orange slice (candy) with hummus. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

I can't remember where I picked this up along the way but I really appreciate this approach to matters of doctrine and practice of faith in the church:

In essentials: unity
In non-essentials: liberty
In all things: charity

I’m surprised by the number of carpenters who have never seen one of these.
