I always thought that the municipality should own the last mile. FTTP for every unit, then the ISPs could run their lines to a local POP and just cross-connect to the house, apartment or whatever that wants their services. That way it would reduce the infrastructure that an ISP needs and also increases the available choices for a customer.

Payment for the municipal last mile could either be leveraged via your taxes or a fee that is paid by the ISP (which inevitably would be paid by the customer anyway)

Aren’t the F-35s software and updates DRM’d to hell anyway? Thought I read somewhere that Lockheed Martin could remotely kill any F-35 at anytime. They’re the ultimate John Deer.

He just discovered reverse psychology and he thinks they won’t do it now.

The way they keep voting, I question that at times.

Bill Pulte

Why does that name sound familiar. Please say they didn’t take the head of a home building company and put him in charge of…… looks things up … Yes, yes they did. I don’t know what I expected.

Oh yeah, I fully expect them not to honor that part. Were fucked there. But would that mean he won’t even bring this to a vote, or do the vote now and then later say “yeah, not taking up a vote on the subsidies”

So what’s the probability that the House scuttles it and/or Trump? Also when will the House actually vote on things?

It’s the latter. Just magically the 8 that are retiring or aren’t up for reelection just manically all got together at the same time to do this? Right…

Here’s the thing I never understood about Thomas. You know they wouldn’t stop with same-sex marriage and eventually go for interracial marriage. Is he just playing the long game of wanting an annulment or does he not think that’ll happen?

This is seriously “let them eat cake” levels of maliciousness and the people are too fucking stupid to do anything about it. I thought I had become jaded about things but now I’m just flabbergasted. Propaganda really fucking worked better than anything has in human history.

And yet people still line up to do work for him. It’s seriously a “well it’ll be different for me!” delusion.

I swear I will become a fucking bounty hunter and drag their asses back to the US to face trial.

Oh man. One of my old companies, the Devs would always blame the network. Even after we spent a year upgrading and removing all SPOFs. They’d blame the network……

“Your application is somehow producing 2 billion packets per second and your SQL queries are returning 5GB of data”…. “See! The network is too slow and it has problems”

I mean it makes sense. If your legs were able to propel you that far but you lacked the skill to use it and faceplanted on landing, it’s gonna hurt. You could at least try to add a skill check for how well you land.

He is extremely irritated that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize and is trying to strong arm an accomplishment.

Seagate just broke up a massive counterfeiting ring where drives were being passed off as new and having their SMART values tweaked. That’s a good part of the reason they’re controlling the refurbs so that they can check them. It’s also why you saw Seagate getting hammered in the BB charts.

This is what the democrats need to be latching on to and screaming from the roofs. It can be simple too: “Republicans are paying ICE but not ATC”, or “Republicans are paying ICE and wanting higher healthcare prices for you”.

“Look like this is a rare variant or mutation that can”

There goes the cyber security division.

I feel dirty that I’m agreeing with things she’s saying. But hey, I’m not gonna argue for now.
