  • I was fortunate enough to live very close to my job for a number of years. Now I wfh so she doesnt get a lot of mileage these days either.

  • I’m in your camp. Take care of them and drive them into the ground.

  • My baby turns 24 this year 🥹

    I seriously have an emotional attachment to my car at this point. Driving something for so long, I’m going to be sad when it bites the dust. I’m shooting for another 10 years or until it hits 300k miles.

  • If I am going to interpret your question verbatim, I would feel pretty confident in saying 99.9% of phone calls will traverse a VoIP trunk when they are connected. Does that mean it’s a VoIP call?

    You have to remember the Public Switched Telephone Network is a bunch of different phone providers interconnected through all kinds of different protocols. Anytime you’re making a phone call, it’s going to hit a VoIP trunk at some point regardless if you’re calling from one of the few true analog lines left.

    And as many pointed out in this thread, even if you have an analog line at your home or office, the chances are pretty high it is just a “handoff” that is probably connected to a VoIP device right on the other side - whether it’s at your site or at the providers central office.

    There are still true copper lines and T1s out there but providers really want to get out of that space and are jacking up the rates for these services so high that it is forcing people to move dedicated VoIP service.

    Side rant: I just really wish fax machines would go away. They are a challenge sometimes to get them working over a VoIP connection…

  • What?? KMFDM back in the 90s were groundbreaking with their name and album art alone. Very stylized, nihilistic vibes aesthetically when I would see their albums in the record store - even before I ever listened to them. Hell, I even shoplifted a cassette tape from Camelot Records when I was a teenager just cuz I was so intrigued as to what this band was about.

    You’ve awakened my “old man yells at cloud” vibes with this one.

  • Hopefully you’re working on “AdamEatsAss+” although seems like you might just have some niche content if you ever make that happen.

  • There’s too much confusion. I can’t get no relief.

  • And they all have cars that contribute to our THUNDERDOME traffic situation these days. I legit don’t even like driving anywhere in the metroplex these days out of safety concerns.

  • There certainly are some nasty people out there. Like ones who tell inappropriate sexual anecdotes in professional settings throughout their career.

  • Came here to say this. Always a good piece of solid advice IMO

  • I’m a political lurker for sure. I want to read about people’s ideas - even if they challenge my own. However, I don’t like to debate or have many in depth political conversations myself.

  • I think there are some that think their beliefs and moderating is a little too extreme.

  • Hah cool little vid. I’m a super Ween fan but I’ve literally never watched an episode of SpongeBob before. Maybe I should change that.

  • Never really cared for him and barely paid any attention to him throughout the years. He just seems like a prick.

  • Ummmm. I must be missing context because I have no idea what I’m looking at here.
