  • That's most of Canada really, outside of southern Ontario and Quebec. Sometime in the last 12 months Eastlink dropped their gigabit cable by $40 where I am so I'm hopeful for incoming competition finally. My 5 year goal is to move outside of town, so I'll likely be going with skynet because I highly doubt I'll have much choice.

  • Even if it's shit, there are options for internet so long as the sky is accessible.

    Choose the recluse house! I bought a cheap house with neighbours and now the recluse houses are expensive. I made the bad choice.

  • 100% but 3840x2160 and small taskbar icons?

  • This was an absolutely wondrous morning read, thank you!

  • I wonder if the underlying problem is that it can set precedent against the entire business model of "child-free living complexes" and similar "retirement residences, non-paliative/long term care". Both of those models, by design, restrict tenants based on age.

    Before asking this next question, I'm in no way advocating for this. Why does a corporation get to benefit from these while a smaller or singular party cannot? Where do we draw the boundary or why do we maintain it? Is the problem because those in charge are benefiting from it via passive or direct investment?

    If it's not ok to discriminate against a family with children looking to rent a home, why can that same family not rent an apartment in a retirement complex or other style residence where non-retired adults without children live by design?

  • Which would be lame to do in the view of said youths, no?

  • That is amazeballs, thank you!

  • Maybe not your edit, but excellent work Helldiver! The up vote pails in comparison to how much I love this.

  • I had something like this one. It was the ram. If I powered off, shut off the PSU and unplugged, then reseated the ram and tried again it would come on. Upgraded the ram and the issue went away.

    Also, if you encounter this with a Dell laptop, same thing (just make sure to disconnect the battery before touching the ram).

  • I work in IT and right now it's a group of CCTV IP cameras that have a patterned flicker at certain times of the day but on random days. I'm pretty sure I've boiled it down to either a heavy power draw from other equipment or the shitty segregated network they're on. I'm in the middle of desegregation and network uplift and the pool is shrinking so I might have it figured out finally but it's been months still hella random.

  • You're on to something here... Currently the only talents I know of are replication via ooze and shape shifting.

  • I looked into this the other day. To my understanding, he can still appeal without posting the bond. The bond simply keeps the plaintiff from seizing assets before or during the appeal process.

    The bond simply acts as a deposit in the event the defendant loses the appeal, which is why there is interest added from the start.

  • If it's that pictures of my ball sack will earn me more than my current job, I'll need to go back in time and tell me how sooner!

  • I only don't hate this because I love frogs. If the spider lives frog too, then I can tolerate it.

  • When we do it right, you forget we're here and we're ok with that.

  • This is terrifying. Thank fuck I'm not in the US. I already get anxious when some random knocks on my door. If they started spouting off about praying for me and my family I'd be weirded right the fuck out.

    Granted, I love my physical privacy. I generally don't answer the door to plain cloths unless I'm expecting someone. My 5 year goal is to move outside of my current town and have no neighbours. Preferably with a nice long driveway that I may install a gate on at the road.

  • I prefer that when done properly a network admin is simply forgotten about.

  • Where's my network admins at?
