Critical condition support.

I used to do that at the Burger King that was next to my old house. I’d prop my laptop up by the window the faced the restaurant and start downloading.

Then at some point they added something to the WiFi that, after you’ve been connected for like 30 minutes, disconnects you. You wouldn’t be banned or anything, it would just cut the connection until you go back to the captive portal and click “I Agree” again.

I feel like a lot of public WiFis these days have data caps and throttling to circumvent downloading.

A “vegetable” is simply any edible part of a plant. Fruits can therefore be considered a subcategory of vegetables.

If you really want to get into the nitty gritty, an ear of corn is botanically a fruit, since it’s the seed-bearing body of a plant. But nobody in their right mind would consider corn a fruit.

Florida is also densely populated compared to other similarly sized states, around 135 people per km² (US average is about 37/km²)

Why do people do shit like this lmao. I mean I know gas stations gouge the hell out of you to use the air compressor but using FAF to top off your tires is… an interesting way around it.

I’m surprised they could even put anything in the tire even after the first treatment. FAF by its nature seals holes, and usually the valve stem gets clogged as a result.

I can’t imagine it being good for your wheel balance either. But if the ride is smooth then it should be good.

Auto mechanics hate Fix-a-Flat. I speak from firsthand experience taking off a tire that was full of the stuff.

In my first field IT job, I had to use a dock that had a parallel printer port that we used to configure and troubleshoot the ancient line printers the company was still using. Those docks barely lasted a year and they would just straight up quit working no matter what computer you plugged them into.

You mean plutonium doesn’t look like a vial of cherry flavored cough syrup suspended in a larger vial of water?

I’d be for it if they were the only ones who get affected in a crash. What about innocent people who might get hurt from a 90kg projectile? Or the people who have to mop up the mess?

That’s what I was thinking. Could be that or a tray for an internal ATA drive.

Ah, so that’s why AT&T stopped fiber upgrades in my town in 2022 or last year. Which is disappointing to say the least, and I live on a main road too.

Hopefully this won’t lead to Spectrum (my current provider) shuffling their feet on implementing high split service, now that their main competitor is opting for inferior 5G home internet for half their customers. High split would allow for symmetrical upload/download and faster than gigabit speeds.

Maybe something like this but fatal?

I’m guessing it was some kind of astrology thing. People used to blame deaths on planets and stars being in certain areas of the sky.

Even worse is when the source is hidden behind a paywall.

I always use seconds as an allegory to dollars when I explain to people the difference between thousand, million and billion (I did the number crunching in my head and rushed it, so if I made any errors lemme know).

1000 seconds = 17 minutes

100,000 seconds = 27 hours

1 million seconds = 11 days

1 billion seconds = 31.70 years

148 billion seconds (Bezos’ net worth) = 4693 years

Same with coconuts. They are associated with Hawaiian and Caribbean cultures when in fact they’re native to South Asia and the Austronesian islands.

The fact that calcium is a metal is the reason why bones can be detected in X-rays.

(I’m pulling this out of my ass and I’m too lazy to look it up to see if it’s actually true.)

never gonna give you up never gonna let you down?
