I swear they keep this character in their back pocket when no actual women have done anything to womanhate about lately. I guess Christmas has been quiet for them.
Honestly, just don't settle for the shitty router that your service came with, get that damn thing out from behind the TV or wherever it shouldn't be, get it up close to the ceiling somehow, and you'll probably never want to use a fishtape even if you can.
Mesh networks are probably the solution for apartment dwellers. The routers all act as one router but are separate smaller routers that talk to each other so you can put them all around the house, and you just need to plug them into power. No mods to the apartment are required, it's all wireless. The catch is expense, but if you buy once, and cry once, then it becomes like a piece of nice furniture that moves with you.
But again, one $40 modern router that isn't the shitty combo unit from the ISP, keep it up high and unblocked, get enough extra Cat cable to reach where you put it, and you might be happy enough with that.
Hell, get the router out from behind the TV if that's where you put it (everyone tries putting it there to hide it) and you might get all the signal you need.
They absolutely saw how the AA and C and D and even the 18650 cells that every vape shop carries meant that a single supply of batteries could power any device you need them to and said absolutely the fuck not.
Never mind the terror that the CEO must feel as he contemplates tools that plug into any wall socket and need no batteries, ever.
Considering the market for the batteries, handy people with power tools, it's kind of a shock that we've gone down without much fight. No, we won't make some sort of viral battery carrier that you can 3D print at home, load up with 18650s, and use with an adapter for any tool. Yeah, we'll just go ahead and buy DeWalt everything now that we bought that one battery pack for $75. Darn, if only I had the kind of tools that were good for grinding off little plastic nubs and shit that gets in the way. Oh well, time for my daily beating, it is what it is.
So it's just another clickable lie, because of course it is, it's too perfect. I can't fact-check everything and it's a bad use of time if I have to.
I gotta get off of social media entirely, I can work with fiction presented as fiction but it's just an endless firehose of lies from people who think they have a god-given right to lie as much as they need to, on every platform. The AI thing is just getting started. I lost track of reality several months ago, and that's not supposed to be some sort of jokey joke.
If there was just some obnoxious little T-notch I had to line up on the connector, then I would fumble with it once and after that I could probably get it done in the dark, but apparently it doesn't matter how many times I use a USB, I'll never learn to use it on the first try, with the lights on and a flashlight pointed at the situation.
I like that getting it wrong and forcing it also destroys the port, so if it's a crucial connection, and you're in a hurry in poor light it's a great way to kill the whole show trying to insist on that USB going in first try.
Great design, Crowley, you really are a professional. I think it's better than that awful motorway, this one has touched the world, I can see why that angel loves you so much, what an artist.
Oh so sorry we misplaced your paperwork very badly for you Mr Navalny, I cannot say that we have a death certificate for you but I'm sure we could find one if necessary.
Oh man I completely forgot about stupid Christmas ornaments.
I'm like what manner of skibidi toilet-ass Gen Alpha bullshit? Me picturing 12-year-olds wearing these around their necks like rapper chains for some reason I'm too ancient to fathom. Once again, I stand here caught off guard by some huge trend, as I melt slowly back into the earth to die unsung.
Nah. Just lame super-corporate attempts at a Christmas cash grab. Let's hang this garbage from some pegs and see if it sells before we chuck it into the dumpster on January 1st. It's not even going on clearance, it's going straight in the trash.
Same shit, different day. Behold, the bedrock of your economy, naked before you. I am relieved. The grave has not taken me, not yet.
Why don't you simply turn off the unwanted emotion??
That's how emotions work, right? Right, that's how they work.
