Yeah, one of our problems was rain and thick fog causing massive drops and even disconnects on the connection going out from the router as 2.4Ghz really doesn't like water. The antenna on our side was fine for sending signals back we just couldn't get it stable incoming, which is why we did the can trick.

Yes, they probably did...

It just means that when "distracted", perception of time changes. For example, doing something you hate tends to feel like it took more time than something you enjoy.

They misspelled his name in the letter. Just show up the next day and act like nothing happened. I'm betting they wont even check.

TL;DR: It's David Zaslav.

For anyone unfamiliar, just watch a couple of clips from 30 Rock with Alec Baldwin's character. Who was initially based on Zaslav.

Of course it's some Republican asshat who is convinced that if they make it so only "landowners" can vote, they will automatically win every election.

And as always it will mostly affect Republican voters who are convinced it wont affect them. I can already see them crying in the news.

Indeed, although this type of thing was more common with older wifi generations, so I'm not surprised kids these days wont know.

For example: We cut the top off an old beer can, poked a hole and stuck it onto the antenna to have stable download speeds across a courtyard.

The show is pretty good too.

With how much these idiots project, all I get from that statement is that he eats a lot of cake.

And he doesn't want to stop eating cake, just eat less. It's almost as if he can't grasp the concept that some people already can't afford to regularly eat cake.

Nowadays that's only true for movies.

Depending on where in the world it's still mostly true for shows and music as well. Although they've been losing their near-monopoly, just look at how popular Korean entertainment is now compared to even a decade ago.

there are plenty of sleepwalker who believe the TV narrative about basically everything

I have a family member like that. They're not religious of any kind, worked with fine electronics in factory, etc. and is by no means stupid. Earlier this year they started ranting about children supporting terrorism and no one understood what was going on. Until they revealed that some kids had written "Stop killing children" with chalk on the sidewalk. All because of TV news with anchors and all that. Not even some far right or conservative channel, just traditional and usually pretty neutral news. But they leave out 90% of what is going on.

In other news, thieves hate regulation against theft.

Everyone should stay faar away from anything calling itself a militia, even if it was originially done ironically. It is basically a self-fulfilling prohpecy and it will attract the wrong type of people.

If you actually want to learn, contact your nearest competetive shooting club. They usually have "open days" where people can come in and try guns while learning some of the basics.
