I love that it's still 2.5 stars. gently caress AT&T with razorwire wrapped sand wedges.

Well, that's because AT&T's non-fiber optic internet is garbage. Getting it installed was horrendous due to their completely awful sales/technical support. The internet itself is fantastic so far.

I don't know if you've been following the last two years of American political discourse, but I think, in context, my take on comic books and their media derivatives are pretty lukewarm.

If we're including politics, yeah sure.

It's fiber to the house. Your inside wires are up to you. It would be worth running cable in your house if your poo poo is old.

I live in a 1920s apartment building and the fiber terminates to GigE in my unit about 5 feet from my router.

Nice internet speeds.

quote:

A moon-faced, eternally smiling youth, whose apple-red cheeks never lost their glow and whose smile looked so much out of place here in Camp Leon Trotsky that everyone wanted to kill him until they remembered that he was mad. He had to be mad because he was always eager to help his buddies and had volunteered as permanent latrine orderly. Not only that, but he liked to polish boots and had offered to do those of one after another of his buddies until now he did the boots for every man in the squad every night.

Whenever they were in the barracks Eager Beager could be found crouched at the end of the thrones that were his personal domain, surrounded by the heaps of shoes and polishing industriously, his face wreathed in smiles. He would still be there after lights-out, working by the light of a burning wick stuck in a can of polish, and was usually up before the others in the morning, finishing his voluntary job and still smiling. Sometimes, when the boots were very dirty, he worked right through the night.

The kid was obviously insane, but no one turned him in because he did such a good job on the boots, and they all prayed that he wouldn’t die of exhaustion until recruit training was finished.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?


I'm back on a dumb 16Mbit line in my lovely temporary apartment, but I'm only gonna grab a 60 or possibly 100Mbit line when I move next March.


But god-loving-DAYUM, that ping.

The company’s Morgan Stanley rep came in today to go over our 401k. He immediately was bombarded with questions from one dipshit about bitcoins and how it’s not “traditional investing”.

God.

make's u think

This guy in the MBA program with me came up to me really excited and said he’s been investing in bitcoin over the last few days. Keep in mind we’re nearing the end of a finance class right now. I asked him if it was hard to get the money back and he said he wasn’t sure how to get the money back-just how to put it in.

We have an investments class together next semester.
