I’m more in support of socialist revolution to attempt a smooth(er) transition, but eventually yes

Any time you have to force or coerce a system onto a population against popular sentiment, it’s doomed to fail.

And nothing of value was lost

That superpower is mere strength just from slamming many keyboards/mice/controllers at the wall and/or floor.

Most DOCSIS (cable tv) systems are pushing gigabit speeds these days, especially in Los Angeles. That said, it is a bit of a misnomer considering CATV’s upload speeds are still doodie compared to fiber.

Problem is that once Delta gets away with it, they’ll all start doing it.

Eh it’s a lot of hq BluRay rips of disks I don’t have anymore. I could reacquire and rerip, but it’d be a total pita. The rest is personal docs/photos/etc. I’ve been spitballing sticking a NAS at my mom’s, but money’s tight right now.

DVDs also go shitty after a while (many years, but still).

Looks at my 60tb media archive

There’s got to be a cheaper way.

But can you really jam it?

And have tumbleweed and/or cactus nearby as props.

I sold student loan forgiveness for about 2 weeks in my early 20s (circa 2010ish), the first of which was “training”. When I actually looked at the terms of the program and the associated interest rates, I told my buddy that got me in that he was a scumbag and walked right out.

Prepare your belly button

Lost World was alright, 3 was meh. The rest are a big bag of:

Crusade > Raiders.

Of all the crap that comes out of the dipshit-in-chief’s mouth, the one thing I really wish he would’ve followed through on was deporting Elmo.

I’m about to see Dead & Company in August, though I highly doubt that’s what you meant by current.

I have no clue what the kids are listening to these days. Now get off my lawn.

That said, Goose is excellent if jam bands are your jam.

Look up last week’s lottery numbers, then head back to last week.

I don’t wanna play the make money game anymore.

Eh, call it a boneappletea moment. Lion’s share.

So apparently around Los Angeles there’s a supposed begging “cartel”, wherein some of the folks who beg at stoplights and freeway off ramps are actually working for an organized ring. The way it was explained was that this group takes the lionshare of their donations and offer protection, food, and safe sleeping areas. I don’t know how true this is, but I’ve heard it from quite a few unrelated people, one of which being a cop, so either there’s some truth to it or it’s a very elaborate hoax to get people to stop giving beggars money.
