Alt Universe: “All right, people, let’s do this one last time. My name is Peter B. Parker. I was bitten by a radioactive spider, and for the last twenty-two years I thought I was the one and only Spider-Man.”

Tbf that venn diagram is basically a circle.

I’m almost starting to think that pedophillia may be a symptom of being ultra rich.

Like, you’re that level of status, and you want to tuck a beautiful woman, they can just send out a text and have a harem of legal-age beautiful women delivered in 30 minutes or less.

When you’re a star, they let you.

But where’s the fun in that?

I imagine having lines of beautiful women waiting to bed you may get somewhat tiring after a while. They need some forbidden fruit.

I’d rather have a meth lab in the basement. I imagine the smell to be better.

But they taught almost nothing about Asian Americans… :(

Same. Except for the Japanese Internment Camps…which was covered in English Lit for some reason.

As far as my high school history curriculum went, Asia , South America, and most of Africa simply did not exist. Africa only got mentioned for Egypt and slave-trade. South America because of the conquistadors and stopping there.

TSC won’t sell you fewer than 6 chicks. You have to go to better places if you need fewer.

And hell no to having chickens in the basement. I had my newest chicks in the office for a couple of weeks and it still stinks in there…they’ve been out in a brooder in the shed for a couple weeks now. And there is no controlling the amount of dust they manage to throw around.

Born around 1985 here and…same.

I think the biggest disservice regarding the Civil Rights era is talking up MLK every year…and not once mentioning Malcom X or the Black Panthers.

MLK would have accomplished nothing if the alternative wasn’t them.

It paints the picture that hippies and marches are all that’s needed. It’s not. The oppressors need to feel unsafe.

There are waterproof notebooks…I saw them in the screw aisle in the bigbox hardware store.

You may be right about that. Maybe it was lowest carbon-footprint. But I do know that it’s significantly less water than almond (which itself is still significantly less water than cow).

I can’t see the words “rolled oats” without reading it like Ludacris.

What in the world is in that bowl, what you got in that bowl?

Oatmilk creamers, yeah, sure…but like others, it’s too thin for me.

When I buy nut milk, I prefer soy…I hated it when I was younger but idk if my palate changed or the product changed, but now it’s my favorite. It’s also among the most nutritious (pea milk is pretty strong there, too), and requires the least amount of water to produce (that is, from seed to bottle)

I do kind of feel there’s a psychological component to it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was comorbid with pedophelia.

It takes a certain type of person to become a billionaire…there needs to be a severe and untreated antisocial personality disorder underneath all of it. If you’ve got that, add in a bit of opportunity (usually just being born rich) and a bunch of enablers and baby, you got a billionaire.

Once you get to billionaire level, it’s just a cyclical disease. The privilege and recognition and power that just comes along with hitting Billionaire status in the first place is enough to continue to feed it more and more.

There is no cure…you can only treat the symptoms by donating all assets and earthly possessions. Then cognitive therapy can begin.

How old are your girls?

Mine are just turning two and it’s my first flock…I’d gotten some soft-shell eggs lately (which are surprisingly durable), but that’s about it.

This is why my chickens terrify me. They used to be 25 feet tall, just a handful of dozens of million years ago.

Fucking murder machines.

The NRA would probably be the best equipped. They bring their own authority.

In OpenWRT, I believe it’s in the settings for the “primary” ssid on each radio, which is usually the first one in the list (per radio) on the wireless settings page.

Openwrt also has options to block multicast or convert to unicast. Also make sure you are disabling lower speeds on the radio. That will reduce your max range, but devices that communicate slowly are another killer.

Broadcast and multicast both have to go at the ssid basic rate…the slowest speed supported by the AP. That could be 1Mbps. And then the AP has to repeat it. And depending on the type of traffic, this may also initiate more broadcasts from other devices on the network.

So if you can reduce broadcast/multicast, or increase the minimum speed, you’ll have significantly more time. Since wireless is a shared medium, “time” is really the most critical resource.

Other people’s wifi can affect yours, and vice versa, if they are occupying the same channel(s).

Most likely something on that channel is spamming multicast. That kills most consumer wifi routers (in default settings). Usually something like a sonos or Google home broadcast group.

Could also be a camera that’s constantly transmitting, also occupying the channel for a long time.

But really, it could be anything.

Use an app like PingTools (Android) that can graph what is on each wifi channel. Check to find the cleanest channels in your area and configure your router to use that channel.

Failing that, if it’s on your network and you don’t know what it is…change your Wi-Fi password to kick everything off, then slowly re-add devices with the new password until you find the culprit.

If you’re curious and technically-minded, I highly recommend this write up: https://www.wiisfi.com/

Also, you may be able to get better speeds by using narrower channels. Especially in busy areas. Easier to find 40-80MHz of clean spectrum than it is to find 160MHz. And even easier if you are open to using DFS channels (but these should generally be avoided). Doubling channel-width also doubles the noise, adding 3dB to the bad side of your SNR.

What causes speed drops and packet loss is almost always interference/weak signal. Getting high packet loss on an 80 or 160Mhz channel will be slower than a solid, clean signal on a 40MHz channel.

If you are closing your laptop, don’t. The antennas are usually located in the monitor bezel and are intended to be vertically-oriented, like they would if you were using the laptop. Having it shut means a lot of the signal is directed into the laptop chassis and your desk, which would especially impact upload from the device.

60 eggs all at once, or 5 batches of a dozen each?

As I understand it, you should be able to pile the eggs on in there, they shouldn’t move like they would in a full rolling boil.

But at the same time, I had been warned not to put all of my eggs together.

I made boiled (well, steamed) eggs in my instant pot and they came out perfect…

Put eggs on trivet/riser. Add 1c water. Lid on, sealed. 5 minutes high pressure. 5 minutes off and sealed. 1 minute venting. 5+ minutes ice bath.

The ice bath is the critical part.

The shells slide off.

No no no missiles are dumb and sometimes they accidentally hit schools and hospitals and really all you can just do is shrug 🤷‍♂️ and say “oopsie doopsie”, because war is hell.

We can send people to the moon but our multi-million dollar jets can’t figure out where to drop a bomb without it striking a school. The tech just isn’t there. The math is just too complex, because I failed high school physics and math is very hard, especially for computers with GPS.

/s if not blatantly obvious. Even with a dumb missle, maybe don’t drop them in close vicinity to these types of buildings? Like, I don’t care who the target is or how solid the intel is, it’s just not worth the chance of collateral damage. If they start camping out near schools or hospitals then either a more hands on approach is warranted, or they aren’t worth the trouble.
