Colorado is seemingly a cool state to be in. I'd really consider moving there lately.

So bad at finding allies they'll have to form an axis of powers to seize control of everyone.

The d4's where the numbers are in a cluster are too hard to read. I've had to swap them in most games because most players need to second guess any rolls with them.

I'm sure people prefer them in some groups and power to them, but I detest them and if a dice set doesn't have the other default, I don't buy em.

We had to take that coal from our Ukrainian steamers to help others! You can't make some railroads without cracking a few engines.

Place your bets for how long until Google kills this. I'm willing to bet 2 years.

In my town, I used T-Mobile Home Internet for a bit. The speed increase was great for a bit, even tho I liked to game. But after a point, the internet was congested from 3 PM to 10 PM. It was wonderful for the first 3 months, and then I had to constantly call the IT/Networking department. Imaging calling them twice a week, every week, and going through 3 router swaps, and a minimum of 20 minutes of phone tag, from September 2022 to February 2023.

  • Sorry, we're having high traffic. It should go away by the next week.

"You said that last week."

  • True, but now we're planning an update to the tower in your area, it should be improved by November!

"Okay, it's past november. It's still slow. My phone has no issues with data or calling."

  • So that was delayed, it should be done by the end of the week.

"It's now close to Christmas, and it's even worse."

  • Okay, you got us, we'll have it done close to January.

"Yet again, its still slow. Why does my phone still work just fine?"

  • We'll have yet another upgrade in February

"It's february and still shit."

  • Alright, so, we oversold our network too rapidly, and now no one can use it.

"Then why can I use my phone just fine?"

  • Because home internet is in the last tier, where you get data after everyone else. Phones, tablets, watches, child tracking devices, and then home internet

"So I'm paying $50 a month to get the bottom of the last barrel?"

  • Yeah, I'd say swap to another provider. At least AT&T's wires are dedicated. Marketing and installation didn't talk to the other departments here.

So now I'm back to using copper wires because at least it only gets slower during heavy wind, not people wanting to download songs and spy on their children when I'm trying to just relax after work.

If someone randomly told the public "Hey whatever you do, don't look into my basement" I would instantly start wondering what's in there. If a company said "We don't need to be investigated" I'd instantly double the funds to investigate them.

"oh man I don't wanna call the cops on this white boy... Honey he says he wants the menu. I dunno. Make him some noodles and some chicken. He doesn't know I'm speaking English and not Cantonese, that's how zooted he is."

My calculator gets 1. Weird.

Then I admit I'm wrong, I just don't get how PEMDAS/I got it wrong.

Casio does a wonderful job, and it's a shame they aren't more standard in American schooling. Texas Instruments costs more of the same jobs, and is mandatory for certain systems or tests. You need to pay like $40 for a calculator that hasn't changed much if at all from the 1990's.

Meanwhile I have a Casio fx-115ES Plus and it does everything that one did, plus some nice quality of life features, for less money.
