Once third parties get access to fiber, telus is going to sell it to them at the same price as DSL, and they offer their own 300/300 package at the same price as the others can offer 150/150.

Telus would probably like to do that, but they don't set the tariff rate, CRTC does. The CRTC rulings for the past couple years have generally not been in favor of the oligopoly, so I actually expect the 3rd parties to offer a better deal. In all reality, I'd even pay them  more a month just to not give it to Telus.e: I just got off a chat with Telus and was able to negotiate unlimited usage with my 150/150... not that I probably will use it because it's 1TB as it is, but still.

I talked to him a few days ago as well. I'm not sure what he's up to. All he said was some more stuff about parasites and that he wasn't giving up on the Civic.

I think he's just pre-emptively declaring Adiabetic's mod challenge failed and shut it down himself. I've been having a rough week myself, and I'm trying to avoid that whole comparing-my-suffering-to-others' thing, but man I hope he does okay.

Seat Safety Switch posted:Nice. I wish my house were hard-wired with ethernet. I should do it (the upstairs is a mess with a bunch of old computers) but I really don't want to be going through walls and poo poo. If it's just a room, use powerline adapters. I ran one to my computer upstairs and it was as fast as if it was plugged right into the router.

For just internet, yeah, powerline adapters can be pretty decent. If you plan to actually move stuff between PCs, they're not any better than wireless (may be worse in some cases). Wired gigabit is pretty great for moving all that porn between computers, 802.11ac is okay if you're not fighting 500 other access points.

Someone I used to go around Europe with doing track days and what not was taking part in the Rev Run https://www.therevrun.com/ which in short is a 3 day road rally thing. This is what he drives While driving in Germany he was pulled over by the Police who were waiting for the cars taking part to come by and started ticketing most of them for anything they could but for some of the more crazy ones, this car included, they issued orders for the car to be removed from the road as it is unsafe due to the ride height and canards due to pedestrian safety. So he is in the middle of Germany in a car the Police have said if they catch it on the road again they will confiscate and destroy. I guess they were not impressed with the meth injection and huge flames out the exhaust.

Sounds like a much better option than crawling around the attic, drilling holes in the wall/ceiling and running ethernet.

Weight loss goal achieved. Started on April 9th at 205+ (i never took a starting weight photo to lock it down but that was my average at the time)  25 pounds lost. Almost makes up for the Miata still being a huge bitch.

I'm losing weight thanks to norovirus from my son's daycare. I'm super dehydrated because I will even throw up any water I try to drink. At least I'm getting a core workout.

Just took the wife to watch guardians of the galaxy 2, it was pretty good and I'm glad I went, except I've just come out of the other side of a loving honest to God migraine induced by the cinema sound system. That meant I really didn't enjoy the meal afterwards but it looked like my wife did so I'll call the day a success and try to mow the lawn with 1 eye closed. Seriously if half the audience are cringing at the loud parts it's too loving loud. I know how old I sound, gently caress off.

In theory this is the solution for future movies: https://www.amazon.com/Alpine-Hearing-Protection-MusicSafe-Musicians/dp/B0032BYCWG Cuts volume without losing fidelity. I plan on trying it next time I go, the good screens here are super loud too.

In episode 14 of Powershift rebuilds his washing machine. Does anybody know how to test a brushless motor? i think the motor is gone, under a heavy load it just tukka tukka tukka instead of whiririririririr. It's 9.6 ohms across all combinations of power pins. The loving throw out bearing for the main drum is plastic on plastic so there's greasy shreds of plastic everywhere, i pulled everything apart and couldn't see any shorted windings or anything, i cleaned it all up and re-greased the loving plastic on plastic and bolted it all back together and it works better than it  They're both the same plastic, so it's not like the clutch fork, the cheap and easy bit to remove is sacrificial. if I've got 500 loads on the washer, 500 more and both the fork and throw out bearing are going to go. Nothing's varnished in a wet environment so anything steel is rusting. This is the same washer that had the drain pump bolted to the vibrating drum in a fragile plastic cage, and is known for the tub popping out of the struts and blowing the machine to pieces. I'm starting to think Kim Jong Un is in the good Korea and we've been supporting the bad one this whole time.

So I'm guessing this is an LG, and I'm pretty sure they have a 10 year warranty on their direct drive brushless motors? Might be a good idea to contact an appliance repair guy?

It's a samsung, one of the exploding samsungs. But i'm in canada, so their only offer is $100 towards the purchase of a new samsung.

Spent all day degreasing/depainting/cleaning my 1920s-ish 6" Reed vise. It's been taking up my workbench, disassembled for a couple months. Finally got some progress made, first coat of paint on and reassembled. I just need to get a new set screw and it'll be ready to vise again. drat those things are heavy.
