SEXY NEW SERVER: Previously, Glibs was sharing a hosted fileserver with parties unknown because that was cheaper and we didn’t think we’d need that much capacity. You people managed to max out the CPU usage with your obsessive commenting and fapping. Now we have our own dedicated box in a rack in a server farm somewhere. CPU usage now barely registers, kind of like a car idling. You will notice faster logins and page loads, and no annoying cache issues with the feed. WebDom is going to give it a couple of days to make sure everything is migrated and stable before doing the big, long-overdue WordPress upgrade.

Re:Sorus prosecutor
Lots of people don’t have issues with letting people off the hook for, or even the nonprosecution of, petty crimes but they draw the line at violent felony type stuff. As usual, the left is granted an inch and they try to take a mile.
“Lots of people don’t have issues with letting people off the hook for, or even the nonprosecution of, petty crimes”
As long as their car, store, or home isn’t the one stolen from, shit on, painted, or a bum is living in the doorway.
Was restitution ever a thing? I sure don’t believe petty criminals need the rape cage, but it sure would be nice for the fuckers to face some consequences.
That’s true too, once it starts effecting them their tune tends to change.
A conservative is just a liberal who has been mugged.
And a libertarian is a conservative who’s been arrested.
And an anarchist is a libertarian who’s attended the national LP convention.
I thought that was an Aspie?
Now with less naked dancing.
I saw a diagram once (that I saved) which has a nice little humorous pretzel flow-chart of the whole situation of people changing their ideology based on circumstances. It goes as follows:
Liberal –> mugged –> conservative
Liberal –> started a business –> libertarian
Conservative –> medical bills –> liberal
Conservative –> arrested –> libertarian
Libertarian –> fired –> liberal
Libertarian –> has kids –> conservative
The last one describes Dave Smith.
Soros prosecutors are more nuanced than that. Suburban whitey gets prosecuted to the max for the pettiest of crimes – like the St. Louis lawyers who tried to keep a mob out of their house with empty weapons. On the other hand, any kind of diversity crime results in a slap on the wrist particularly if it was against rich whitey.
That’s why so many of the non-diverse have been leaving the cities for the outer suburbs. Criminals don’t seem to want to travel that far very often. And normals have a bad habit of shooting back in those areas.
I think the more consequential push was to get “affordable multifamily housing” into the suburbs during the Obama era. We have some “affordable multifamily housing” at the end of our street, and while it’s not a slum, I’ve noticed leading indications of the decline of this area. Thug looking people loitering at the 7/11 for no visible reason, obnoxious cars and driving habits, petty vandalism, people walking down our alley throwing trash into our yard, vulgar graffiti at the local elementary school, a locked mailbox was broken into and had mail and packages stolen out of it, etc. This isn’t anywhere near the poor side of town. It’s the more middle class side of our suburb, but we’re 35 miles out from city center, and we’re a not quite walking distance from million dollar houses.
^
It’s slightly harder to go after the suburbs because of density and spread, but they will not be a refuge forever.
Policing makes a difference. I know plenty of people who were pulled over in wealthy neighborhoods for driving while not white. Which is also wrong.
The ability to scrutinize out-of-towners and non-residents is to some degree necessary to the maintenance of ungated communities. If not the police, then locals will do it, unless the police stop them.
The ability to scrutinize out-of-towners and non-residents is to some degree necessary to the maintenance of ungated communities. If not the police, then locals will do it, unless the police stop them.
The cops do not exist in my area unless if setting up checkpoints. My neighbor once called 911 to report a break-in he was watching happen at a gas station and dispatch said the closest unit was a half hour away. Then she asked he if had a shotgun and could go handle it himself.
I’ve received several calls from neighbors over the years about relatives’ cars in my driveway who were house/babysitting while my wife and I were both gone. I’ve made several calls myself when seeing someone on a neighbors’ property and it was weird (neighbors were gone or it was late at night). All of us will go and talk to anyone loitering in the area and convince them to move along. I guess these are all reasons I’m aboard the defund the police movement… they pose only tyranny without any benefits to my community.
Yeah, offloading the responsibility of security entirely to the state has two many drawbacks: they may shirk their duty, and moreover, they may invert their duty and turn against you.
two main* not two many
“too many” would have been acceptable as well.
That got me thinking about crime rates, and I looked it up for my area. My zip code is a fun little oasis of 2.26x national average crime rate in a desert of areas at or near the average. Definitely validates my sense that it’s not getting any safer or friendlier here.

Dude, you gonna re-up your avatar?
I have tried at least 10 times today. No matter what image I upload or select from the media library, I get what you see.
Ah. Sorry. I don’t want to burden WebDom right now. Let’s wait until after the WP upgrade and see if that fixes it.
But he finally has all the alt text he wants.
Right. That’s why I wasn’t saying anything.
Thinking about it, when you upload the file, are you always using the same file name? Or are you using different file names?
That would explain why it would be showing alt-text and accepting the upload if the file name was the issue.
Different. I have uploaded different images with different names, and even selected images that are already in the site’s media library, including other people’s working avatars.
C’mon, Neph, this is db, one of the nerdiest of the nerds.
Tonio, don’t get in the middle of a nerd fight.
Obligatory.
db:
Just trying to think of reasons that it wouldn’t work. Since it’s showing alt-text, it’s failing to load. From the image, your avatar should be located at:
https://www.glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/220px-Weapon_Brown_Cover_crop-1-150×150.png
Which returns a 404 (which matches the alt-text showing).
Tonio’s avatar is:
https://www.glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Short-Nosed-Bear-Arctotherium-Bonariense-Tonio-Avatar-268px-Square-150×150.jpg
Everything up to the actual file looks normal to me, so my guess is it may be part of the migration/other weirdness.
WebDom mentioned something about the media library being huge. It may not have fully migrated yet.
How do you find/sort images by the person who uploaded them? I’ve been trying to figure that out.
Tonio:
Not sure off the top of my head. Looking, it’s tagged in an attribute (uploaded by), so my guess is you would need to query the db itself.
It’s an exponential process.
Like many, mine reverted to an old one. Is the coast clear to change them, or is there the possibility the WebDom’s impending updating will nuke them again?
I tried changing mine and it’s still a no-go. Patience, Grasshopper!
Agreed. Be glad the site works at all. We can all deal until it resolves. Meantime I have my “Fuck You Tulpa” avatar. Memories…

I submit “Pridepox” or “Poxy-McPoxface”
The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) announced on Tuesday that it will officially rename the monkeypox to address concerns about the stigma and racism associated with the word.
Against monkeys?
The name change comes after 30 scientists signed an open letter last week arguing for an “urgent need for a non-discriminatory and non-stigmatizing nomenclature for monkeypox virus.”
“In the context of the current global outbreak, continued reference to, and nomenclature of this virus being African is not only inaccurate but is also discriminatory and stigmatizing,” said the letter.
Oh. This is one of those things where leftists associate black people with monkeys but insist other people are racists.
Shush you! You aren’t supposed to notice that.
They are absolutely terrified of being denounced as racist, homophobic, etc. All accusations of bigotry are treated as valid. That’s the same mindset that led to what is described in The Intercept article.
The name change comes after 30 scientists signed an open letter last week arguing for an “urgent need for a non-discriminatory and non-stigmatizing nomenclature for monkeypox virus.”

Jimmy Dore on Bumbling Biden.
Joe Biden recently appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel late night show for an interview that lasted nearly 20 minutes but must have seemed like twice that to anyone watching and waiting for the President to express himself clearly and succinctly without fits and starts or rambling incoherently. At one point Kimmel even felt compelled to interrupt the President and throw to commercial just to put a temporary stop to the cringe.

No clue, but I love this one.
Really? I would have been sure you have known among all the people here.
“The narrative concerns Waldo Jeffers, a lovesick youth, who has engaged in a distressing long-distance relationship with his college girlfriend Marsha Bronson. After their school terms end, Waldo returns to his hometown of Locust, Pennsylvania. He becomes increasingly paranoid over the course of two months, worried that Marsha might not stay faithful to him as promised. More than anything, he fears constantly that she will engage in sexual promiscuity. Lacking the requisite money to visit her in Wisconsin, he concocts a plan to mail himself to her in a large cardboard box, expecting it will be a welcome surprise to Marsha.”

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the reestablishment of the Florida State Guard and touted it as a refuge for United States military service members who have been discharged for not complying with COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
“There are opportunities where people still want to serve, but they want to serve based on their conscience,” DeSantis said while speaking at the American Legion outpost in Madeira Beach on Wednesday.
The Republican governor blasted President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for “hurting good order and discipline” within the country’s military.
He is the best. Now do Texas, since we generally ape his ideas, only slightly less well.

Interestingly, none of the three state representatives represent a district in or near Philadelphia. Kail and O’Neal represent counties near Pittsburgh in the western part of the state. Ecker represents counties in central Pennsylvania. However, Pennsylvania law allows the state legislature to remove any public officials if a majority vote is obtained in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and a two-thirds vote is reached in the Pennsylvania Senate.
I don’t think they’ll get a 2/3rds vote in the Senate. I doubt enough Democrats will join in for that.
They probably know that they won’t get a 2/3 vote in the senate. This is political gamesmanship. Any senator who votes against impeachment gives their electoral challenger a “my opponent is soft on crime” gift.
YAY! Thanks WebDom and everyone else involved!

Inflation is transitory. It’s all Putin’s fault. It’s all those greedy corporations.
Already paying some of the highest energy costs in the country, New Hampshire ratepayers will soon be paying a lot more.
According to a filing with the Public Utilities Commission, Liberty Utilities is seeking approval for an increase in the default residential energy rate from 8.393 cents per kilowatt-hours to 22.223 cents per kilowatt-hours.
Donald Kreis, with New Hampshire’s Office of Consumer Advocate, said the net effect of the charge will be that Granite Staters who use Liberty can expect to pay nearly 50 percent more for electricity when the new rate goes into effect in August.
“That means a typical bill for a residential electric customer of Liberty Utilities will go up by nearly 47 percent from its current level,” Kreis said on Twitter.
Granite Staters already pay the seventh-highest residential electricity rates in the nation.
Liberty has about 43,000 electric customers in New Hampshire. Kreis said Eversource, New Hampshire’s main electric supplier, is expected to file for a similar rate increase before the PUC soon.
Another acquittal
The town of Newfields, home of Gov. Chris Sununu, had no trouble passing an anti-picketing ordinance designed to keep protesters away from the governor’s house. But enforcing the law has proved to be problematic.
Last month, Newfields prosecutor Michael DiCroce lost yet another case when Skylar Bennett was acquitted of three charges related to a December 28, 2020, protest outside Sununu’s home. Bennett was found not guilty of trespassing, disorderly conduct, and violating the new anti-picketing ordinance.
Bennett, the only protestor who was physically arrested and booked at the night-time “candlelight vigil,” is now the seventh protestor to be acquitted.
A New Hampshire Journal reporter was charged with violating the ordinance while covering the December protest. The town has declined to drop the charges. NHJournal’s coverage of this story won an award in the “Free Speech” category from the New Hampshire Press Association last week.
Judge Polly L. Hall, who has presided over all the picketing trials to date, has now acquitted seven of the nine charged on December 28, 2020. One protestor paid his $100 fine, and the last trial, of former NHJournal reporter Chris Maidment, is scheduled for July 7.
The most mispronounced places in Virginia
Norfolk
You may be tempted to pronounce this as it looks; ‘Nor-folk’. But the correct pronunciation is actually ‘Nor-fuhk.’ The city is presumably named after a British county of the same name — and pronunciation. A lot of locals will also skip the “nor” and pronounce the city more of a “naw.”
Uh…everyone knows it’s actually “Nah-fuck”.
“We shall neither drink, nor dance, nor fuck.”
But in regards to your comment, both of those pronunciations are common. There’s yet another pronunciation in a Suffolk sub-dialect which still exists.
US-1 is “Jefferson Davis Highway” on signs but pronounced “Patriot Highway” in Spotsy.
Portsmouth is pronounced P-Town.
C’mon people, get it right.
*Owned* by Fauci again?
Paul has said that if the Republicans get their majority, he’ll have seniority and will head a committee, which will give him the power to issue subpoenas. Which is probably why you’re hearing more about Fauci retiring.
IIRC, Congressional subpoenas are not restricted to government employees, so Fauci can retire but Paul can still haul him back in for questioning.
We need to have more stringent mandatory disclosure laws for government employees, and for unpaid members of commissions, etc. Also, there is a big difference between “not required to” and voluntarily doing so in the interest of transparency.
Along those lines, we have Pelosi and her husband making millions from “fortunate” stock trades, while she sees no problem with that.
Trump wasn’t required to divulge his financial interests either, and no one had a problem with that. [eyes roll right out of sockets]

Those alleging abuse at the Sununu Youth Detention Center want a trial
Lawyers representing hundreds of Sununu Youth Detention Center abuse claimants on Tuesday asked a judge to lift the court-imposed stay on litigation and let the victims pursue civil trials against the state.
In a new filing in the Merrimack Superior Court in Concord, attorneys David Vicinanzo and Rus Rilee accuse Attorney General John Formella of stalling the case so the state can pay as little as possible.
“Plaintiffs acknowledge that the State’s delay strategy and its related goal – paying as little compensation to as few victims as possible – is legally allowable to a certain point. But that point has come and gone. After decades of suffering in silence, it is time for Plaintiffs to be heard and receive justice,” they wrote in their motion.
The motion filed Tuesday is another sign that the victims are unhappy with the $100 million settlement offer approved by the legislature, and many do not plan to take the deal offered by the state. Instead, they want to go to trial.
Vicinanzo said Tuesday the list of more than 600 victims who filed suit continues to grow as more survivors come forward. The filing indicates there could be thousands of victims.
The Sununu the center is named after is the father of the current governor and former Chief of Staff for George H. W. Bush.
In the middle of the article is a little background:
David Meehan first came forward in 2017, telling State Police about the abuse he suffered at the center. Since then, hundreds of men and women have come forward to say they suffered sexual and other forms of abuse as children at the hands of some 150 staffers from 1960 to 2018, according to the lawsuit. That abuse includes gang rapes, being forced to fight each other for food, and being locked in solitary confinement for weeks or months.
“(T)hrough the actions of the Defendants in these matters, Plaintiffs were robbed of their childhoods and left with lifelong physical and emotional scars. The stories these individuals tell reveal unimaginable wrongs, including brutal rapes, forced abortions, broken bones, and weeks on end of isolation where individuals were at times shackled and forced to urinate and defecate, without a toilet, in the same room in which they slept,” they wrote.
I like when they eat their own
New Hampshire progressives say they’ve had enough of Sen. Maggie Hassan and what they call her “racist” policies on immigration, and they’re not planning to support her re-election in November.
Tension between Granite State progressives and the governing establishment is nothing new. What is notable, however, is the willingness of progressive activists to criticize a powerful incumbent Democrat so publicly.
“Maggie Hassan is racist. No need to dance around the obvious for much longer,” said Marcus Ponce de Leon, until recently an executive team member of the New Hampshire Democratic Latino Caucus.
I’d vote to acquit, but I doubt I’ll be on the jury
A New Hampshire man was indicted by a federal grand jury this week on a charge of possession of a machine gun, officials with the office of the U.S. attorney for the District of New Hampshire announced on Thursday.

We had one here. I thought nothing of it at the time.

Nope, no special laws about that. But they are admitting there is a huge double standard.

“Thousands of cows are killed by extreme heat and humidity amid freak weather in Kansas as shocking video shows rows of cattle laying dead – with temperatures set to hit 110F in days”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10924039/Video-shows-thousands-cows-laying-dead-Kansas-amid-freak-weather-rising-food-prices.html
Sorry, Sean
Why are you sorry? They’re most of the way to sous vide temps. Just toss ’em on the searing burner.
I’m not buying this was due to heat. 3,000 cattle for one rancher in the case of the farmer I watched. I have difficulty believing that the rancher wouldn’t be aware enough of the heat to protect his 6 million dollars worth of assets that were ready for market.
The video doesn’t state it, but my impression is that every single one of the rancher’s cattle died. If indeed every single animal died, that is enough for me to guarantee it was poison without seeing further evidence. An unexpected heatwave may indeed go through a packed feedlot like the Reaper’s scythe, but 100% fatality rate? That’s beyond belief for a natural event in these numbers.
Thank you. I thought it seemed odd, but my cows are parted out and wrapped in butcher paper.
/city boy
JI posted this earlier.
The pictures are too blurry to see what kind of steer or if they were ready for market, but 100% does seem wildly implausible.
Otoh, what motive would someone have to poison them?
Antifa lunatics
Rural antifa?
Hell if I know. But it’s the only group I can think of that has the motivation.
What would motivate somebody to burn down a food processing plant (or 97 of them)?
Otoh, what motive would someone have to poison them?
What motive would the government have to institute Meatless Mondays in schools and government facilities? Or to shutdown domestic oil and gas leases? Or to shutdown domestic formula production while preventing imports? Or to send 40 billion to Ukraine during record inflation? Or to investigate parents criticizing school boards as domestic terrorists?
We’re in weird times right now. Conspiracy theories are proving out to be how-to-guides. I’m okay leaving everything on the table.
I’ve seen a few clarifying articles on these stories – ymmv
https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/whats-really-going-on-with-these-food-facility-fires/
Until I hear ranchers calling bullshit, I’m going to believe the article from the Oklahoma Farm Report that I linked to below (HT Juris Imprudent).
“above”…”below”…whatever
I don’t disagree with anything in that article. But it’s a very generic explanation for a specific event…. “We know that sudden changes in heat and humidity can cause death in cattle so that’s what happened here”.
The rancher in the video has enough doubts about what happened to pay for an autopsy.
Generic? It lays out specific (and perfectly logical) weather reasons why these cattle, and not cattle in nearby regions, could succumb and die to heat stress. A perfect storm type of situation.
You and others here think we should jump to poisoning. By Antifa maybe. So if I have this straight; an organization representing ranchers explaining how this could happen is suspect. But, the idea that some Antifa idiots went to Kansas and poisoned thousands of cattle, and only in places where the weather was right to give them cover, is more believable?

If so, this may work for you. I haven’t tested it, nor do I use it, but it appears to be an add-on that allows you to set all links to open in a new tab.

c) she kept sucking on the mask from inside”
Staples can solve a and b. Capsaicin or similar can solve c.
Drinking communion wine and believing it to be the blood of Christ was a far better basis for society than this.

I’ve met a lot of nut pediatricians. There’s something about the progression that attracts them.
Cleansing.

Anyone can get a dedicated box if you pay enough — or so says Winston’s Mom.
Dedicated?
That’s called marriage.
Got caught up on reading site but haven’t been logged in to post till now (tablet) on account of my non-memorized password, etc.
More later but quick update that I will be back in San Dog the last 2 weeks of July – including weekend.
Also for Deg and local NH – Travis Corcoran @morlockp said he registered to run for statehouse as an R for logistics purposes.
It gets you easy ballot access in NH if you register and file as either Democrat or Republican. Libertarians in NH have been registering as Republicans for a long time.
He’s filed for Hillsborough 44. I can’t find the new for 2022 district map. The 2012 district map shows Hillsborough 44 as covering Litchfield and part of Manchester. I’ll guess since the town on the filing is listed as Weare that the district has moved.
Ensure you maintain six feet distance when masturbating per the CDC
Same script with the vid. Seems they now have their boilerplate template to work with.
Of course. Any less than 6 feet and I’d be hitting people with my dick.
He’s here all week, folks!
Detachable penis?

“This coup was really well produced”
It’s West Wing for retards.
Isn’t that redundant?
Also, I think you’re exactly right, this is a tightly scripted political drama, designed to appeal to people with a vicious streak barely beneath the surface who like to comfort themselves with the notion that they have the right goals and their ambitions are all high-minded.
Even Aaron Sorkin’s characters were more believable than Adam Kinzinger.
Today’s shitlibs are dumber than they were in the 90s.
*taps out*
I shouldn’t judge, but… Doesn’t she have anything better to spend her anxiety on?
I miss the days when ‘literally shaking’ was more of a thing.
Or maybe righties have grown bored making fun of that.
It gets old when shame doesn’t work on the un-self-aware.
I feel a little better knowing that in the collapse, these people will be used as trade goods (or food.)
I wouldn’t eat those zombies.
Stupidly emailed my idiot senators. One of them, the mouth breathing moron, sent back or rather his staffer sent back a page long lecture about how infringements are a-ok since everyone supports them. I’m sure the pro baby murder idiot would be perfectly happy with common sense abortion restrictions.
The problem is none of these apparatchiks face any personal consequences for their actions, let alone an asswhooping on the Senate floor.
yes, unfortunately, as someone who worked in a Senator’s office in the 90s, I can tell you constituent mail was sorted and counted by interns, who input your address to send you a form letter about the topic, and the counts are then given to the leg assistants with their various specialties. Reps have much smaller staffs, so they may actually see your letter, but Senate side? lol nobody gives af.
One week from today, if all goes to plan, I will pack up the car. Crazy.
I’m going to learn a lot about sewage in the coming months.
What a fantastic adventure (other than the sewage).
Did you get your StarLink stuff handled?
I’m going to hold off on it for now, as it’s a large up front cost ($700). If my hotspot from Verizon turns out to be garbage, I can get a Starlink delivered in a matter of days. They officially launched their roaming service for an extra $25/mo and no waiting list.
StarLink is wireless only unless you also get the ethernet adapter. It’s pretty cheap, $25, but necessary if you have any devices without wireless. Of course you won’t want to use the rinky dink stand that comes with it so then you’ll have to buy a pole mount adapter or a roof mount adapter. And if your roof is shingled, you’ll need the flashing adapter for the roof mount. I signed up early last year and got the discount but still ended up near $700 with the extras.
I like it even though I get an obstruction every 4 minutes or so due to a large tree to the northwest of me. Way better than the AT&T hotspot I’ve been using. I’m getting over 100 Mbps, sometimes approaching 300 Mbps and averaging around 35 ms latency. 4K movies are no problem even when the kids are all playing games.

That’s the best one yet.
Fuck me, what a fantastic show.

The Dems brought in some bigwig from one of the legacy teevee network news to “produce” (their word) the hearing extravaganza, as I recall.
Hier
Congressional hearings are often designed to be spectacles. Lawmakers pose questions with flourish. They bring whiteboards or props. They call witnesses to give dramatic testimony. But the organizers of the hearings into the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol have taken unusual steps to win people’s attention. A former TV news exec is producing the hearings, which start tomorrow.
NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik is here. Hey, David.
DAVID FOLKENFLIK, BYLINE: Mary Louise.
KELLY: All right. What kind of spectacle are we going to see tomorrow night?
FOLKENFLIK: Well, it’ll – seems as though it’ll start pretty conventionally. You’ll have the chairman, Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi, and Congresswoman Liz Cheney, Republican from Wyoming, give their opening statements. And then we’re going to see unfold what is supposed to be kind of a television spectacle. You’ll have two witnesses, a guard and a documentary filmmaker, there that day. And we’re supposed to see a narrative being presented with something of a narrative storytelling arc – think of “20/20,” “Dateline” NBC – with not just moments, but a story that has dramatic tension building up with revelations along the way using real footage, using real documents, using apparently previously undisclosed White House official photographs from that day to piece together a narrative of what the chairman has said he believes was an attempt to essentially thwart democracy.
KELLY: What’s the thinking behind presenting it this way?
FOLKENFLIK: Well, there’s a desire to make sure this punches through, that it’s compelling on TV. There’s a worry that it will be politicized, as it has already been dismissed by House Republicans and allies of former President Donald Trump, or simply ignored. And they want it to burst through.
Gripping drama, minstrel show, whatever.
“There’s a worry that it will be politicized”
Stop it. You’re killing me.
“There’s a worry that it will be politicized”
the dumb hurts so much. Wait, folkenfuck? no wonder its National Progaganda Radio

LEGOS!
They learned a stern lesson when they stopped making everything in Denmark and built factories in China. Almost overnight, their IP was stolen and the market was flooded with cheap, greasy feeling, ill fitting knock offs.
Did you get your StarLink stuff handled?
Speaking of such things- anybody here have experience with Tmobile 5g internet? I think I’m going to give it a shot.
Their service tends to be slower than Verizon, but it’s much easier to work with T-Mobile.
Of course, that’s like saying it’s slightly cooler than Hell.
I use AT&T and am happy with it. My hotspot is spot-on.
Mine started out great and slowly degraded to unusable. I’m definitely getting throttled even though I’m on a fixed data plan. I got it for work so I could have a separate ISP from home. I suspect the problem will go away if I change to a business plan.
We have 7 people on our plan so we get a bit of a discount. I don’t use my hotspot enough now to tell if I’m being throttled. I used to go to the library to work, but I haven’t been able to do that since covidiocy started, and now I have a nice office and older kids who are not as MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM

State with strict gun control puts more guns in schools.
This is all so hard to follow.
“Unfortunately, they feel a need to tongue-bathe Ta-Nehisi Coates (“black bodies”) in the process.”
He’s not the dumbest public ‘intellectual’, but he is the most overrated. Every single piece needs (at a minimum) a real editor who doesn’t think Coates’s farts smell great, and maybe a gibberish to English translation.
Hello, Glibbies!
I have survived my cancer surgery, now let’s see if I am cancer-free.
Thanks WebDom for the upgrades. Haven’t had a chance to log on until now.
I am pleased that you are still around for me to give you congratulations.
I hope the rest goes just as well.
Yay!
Congratulations on getting through surgery! I hope for the best!
👍👍👍
I hate cancer. It took my Mom and her sister.
Here’s my best thoughts flowing your way to beat it.
👍🏻
Huzzah!
Huzzah Hobbit! Good to see you!
Phase 1: excellent! Best wishes for the same for phase 2.
Good deal, and good luck!
Go you!
Excellent.
Thanks to all for the best wishes!
Glad you came through the surgery well, Hobbit. Will cross fingers and say a word to doG for a full recovery for ya.
Been there, done that.
Glad to hear you made it out the other side! Rooting for your complete recovery!
Yes!!!
Blew a guess, dagnabbit.

One letter change in that sentence and it has a whole different meaning. 😉
“spooge” is 6 letters
Since I am going to be in Sioux Falls, I shall head on up to DeSmet (of Laura Ingalls Wilder fame) and be a complete tourist.
being a tourist is underrated.
Right?! There is no shame in gawkery.
I like helping tourists out.
Speaking as a recent tourist, Pennsylvanians drive fast, except buggy drivers.
Speaking of PA, Mr. Mojeaux and I are thinking about turning SP’s celebratory get-together into a road trip. KC → Hershey, PA → Alfred → Palmyra (?) → Niagara Falls → KC.
NIAGRA FALLS! Slowly I turned…
…step by step…
Hill Cumorah should prove interesting. Nice visitor center, etc. Hershey? Visitors don’t get to see the chocolate factory, just a “made for visitors” thing.
Depending on your likes, the Johnstown Flood Museum is very nice, the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum is great for train buffs, and S. Williamsport has the Little League museum.
getting closer…
Had Lowes cancel my order of a vanity after a couple weeks because ‘we don’t have it’. Sick of these incompetents, if you didn’t have it, why did I have an estimated delivery date, or even an order. Guess I have to give my $ to Home Cheapo who actually manage to have products to buy. Hopefully.
I miss the old Home Despot parody site.
They’re no different. It took months to get my fridge.
