If youre friendly with your neighbor, point to point wifi is cheap and very effective. You can share their interent if they are okay with it.

You buy 2 wifi antennas for $200, set one up at the point of origin and line it up with the other at the end point. Plug each end into a router and you’re all set.

You dont even need perfect line of sight, although it does help. Range is 5 miles, so 1000ft shouldn’t be a challenge. They are preconfigured, so basically just plug and play.

Edit : they have an even better set for $400 if you want 1.5x the speed above.

Very common in rural areas. She is most likely a customer of a WISP, or a wireless ISP. They will often partner with a township to set up on a water tower or grain silo or some other high point, then have a fiber internet line brought to that tower.

From there, they will deploy pretty much this exact device for each client, sometimes piggy backing on client sites to extend their range.

5G cell service modems and starlink are making wisps less common, but they are still out there.

Here’s a great older article about a home grown WISP setup in the rural islands near Seattle. After years of terrible and unreliable internet service, the neighbors got together, paid for a microwave tower internet stream from the mainland, and rigged up relays and wireless access points in trees in order to get good, reliable internet to everyone involved. Most everything described here would be considerably easier today.

Microsoft Bob.

Come at me, bro.

mosiacmango,

Not if you only hit it in certain circumstances, i.e breaks at work, out drinking, etc.

That kind of 1%/week gradual decrease would probably lead to less of an addiction to line up with less of a dose as well.

The person who handed him the gun entire job was to make sure it was safe to use that gun as prop on a movie, to simulate danger, but in an utterly safe manner.

That person not only failed to check the gun, but they were also the source of the live ammo. The armorer has already been sentenced to prison for involuntary manslaughter.

“Every gun is dangerous” is the correct general mantra, but when you hire a person to specifically “make a gun not dangerous” who then directly hands you the gun, it’s pretty reasonable to assume it’s not dangerous. Pulling the trigger as part of your job and then killing someone afterwards isn’t directly your fault at that point.

It’s terrible, but we know from the armorers trial the cause was her extreme negligence, not Alec baldwin expecting his employees and coworkers to do their job.

While I largely agree, I still don’t fully agree. He should have treated it as loaded because it’s a gun, but I also understand why he didn’t. There are many dangerous facets in our lives where we trust professionals, like doctors and pilots and chefs. Professionals that count on other professionals doing their job and keeping the whole system running.

You can extra prepare, and argue that everyone should at all times, but its also entirely reasonable that we dont run background checks on pilots or breathalyze them before they get onto a plane. We expect the system to work for many dangerous things, and it almost always does. The fact that it almost always does is part of the issue here, because believing the armorer was doing their job to keep people safe is a reasonable assumption.

Should he have applied extra caution to checking that gun? You bet. Do I think he was complacent because of the systems they had on set for gun safety? Yes. Do I think that rises to murder or even extreme negligence? No. It was a lapse in judgement that ended with him killing a person, and that is terrible, but not criminal.

Exclusive to women, as it’s a rare mutation that requires two X chromosomes.

There could be a rare, rare case of someone with XXY chromosomes also getting it, but that would be two very rare human conditions hitting at once.

mosiacmango,

The 15-50% is apprently women who have some sensitivity to different color bands, but not full terrachromacy. That condition has only been identified once according to wikipedia. Id expect in men with XXY chromosomes, for it to still be stunningly rare, if even present at all.

Its fully possible that the above sum is the number of men with some enhanced color depth, but even then in a population of 4 billion, 1-4 million is a very small number.

So your retort to the statistics of thousands of yearly teen deaths to cars is “someday, an ebike may kill someone. What then, huh?”

You know electric car batteries also smoke off in rare cases too, right? That they are often parked in buildings and may also eventually burn a building down?

mosiacmango, (edited )

So still ignoring the current 3000/yr teen car deaths completly for a “ebikes may be the real danger” comment? Okay then.

Your saying a lithium car fire, one of the hardest to put out fires, will not cause any building to burn down, anywhere? Because all parking garages are structurally designed to withstand that style of fire at the base of their building?

mosiacmango,

Fuck yeah buddy. 167b is getting close to 200 billion cancelled, which would be about 50% of the 400 billion he tried to cancel that the supreme court knocked down.

Shows it was all about making political hay. Hes cancelling a huge amount of debt, but since it’s in a quiet way, no republican cares.

mosiacmango,

Housing soldiers in citizens homes in modern times would be inefficient and dangerous. It would drastically affect readiness and deployability amd lead to general unrest.

It is in every way a very outdated amendment, as that’s not how professional armies are fielded in modern times, nor is there any press to go back to what was a barbaric act when the law was past.

We likely dont need it, but it’s basically moot, and the construction is impossible to amend.

mosiacmango,

Are you saying novel mechanical engineering designs are impossible? That the mechanism of a leaf blower is so near perfection, that a well funded team of 4 mechanical engineering students could not, without VIOLATING THE LAWS OF PHYSICS, have simply found a better mechanism?

I agree with your “show me the numbers” critique, but I find your complete disregard of what may be a better answer without any data at all to be equally foolhardy.

mosiacmango, (edited )

never wound up being actually true since they go against the very nature of physics.

This is an incredibly wild statement when you have no data on the device’s construction or operation.

Youre complaining about a lack of data then making wild assumptions about it with no data.

Not exactly a good scientific method here, mate.

mosiacmango,

He realized the judge was getting a cell ready for him.

mosiacmango,

Your use case sounds like something a nuc or sff from minisforum could handle, but if you want “cheap” and “small enterprise,” both ambiguous terms, the supermicro superservers should fit the bill.

mosiacmango,

My phone pushes over the air updates every couple of months. These have included android 13 and 14, and various patches.

Android updates aren’t something you have to go and get, they come to you. Having the long term support means your phone will always have the latest user features and security improvements, even for non technical users. People can and do install these all the time.

mosiacmango,

The Croquembouche is here for you.

mosiacmango,

All in the office of course as well!

“May even be breaking the law” is pure spin by sociopaths, for sociopaths. Ceos have a fiduciary duty to owners, i.e shsreholders, but that can easily mean you invest in long term gains like employee support, safer and more efficient tooling and policies building up community goodwill, etc.

It doesn’t mean you have to cut throat brutalize all you can grasp in your greed soaked hands. No law, of any type, compels that. If a board does, it’s just empowered by the thought terminating cliche that “no, no we have a duty to gut people’s lives so line goes up.”

The above is people making excuses for their socially destructive behavior, not an actual justification.

mosiacmango,

His actual actions aren’t important, because his results are “holy.”

If you asked them about a “demon rat” that had doen exactly what their “holy” man had done, they would rant endlessly about his vile acts and his damnation.

Their zealotry is transactional, that’s all. Give them what they want, and you can be their savior too.
