Can you run a speed test on another WiFi device from the same spot? Curious if it’s only that one device that’s really slow…assuming you were getting the 25mbps while really close to the router? I was operating under the assumption that you weren’t getting any internet at all on WiFi. Slow speeds can be a lot of things, it’s possible that a neighbor or other device close by is causing interference. If other WiFi devices are slow now too you may need to login into your router and change that channel.

I saw you posting in the alcoholics thread. Are you full on trying to quit or just be ‘normal’? Do you get withdrawals, shakes or other physical symptoms beyond just a hangover? Do you obsess about drinking on your days off? I will tell you, at least from my own personal experience, that you may be torturing yourself a bit by having your longest streak be only 3 days. For many physical addictions that seems to be about the baseline for fully ridding them of your body, and for mental habits that’s just when you begin to establish a ‘new normal’. For me, it wasn’t until I started stringing 6+ days together that I stopped thinking about it regularly, with the added bonus of reduced tolerance so I’m comfortable with 1-3 drinks instead of ‘ok might as well keep going’. Obviously if you are a full blown alcoholic then this doesn’t apply to you, but my situation was more a mix of boredom and self medication for a particularly stressful period of my life. I was using alcohol as a Time Machine to fast forward through rough patches instead of having a full blown addiction. By the grace of god or the universe I’ll maintain this new relationship with alcohol. My point being that, for people like me, 2-3 dry days at a time wasn’t enough to establish a new normal…instead that was right on the edge between maintaining the habit and building a ‘new normal’…aka it was torturous. Try longer, and if you legit can’t…take a hard look at help. To be fair it took me many tries to get there during my dark days…don’t be too hard on yourself. On a side note, my hardest drinking friend made it all of six days for dry January. I have tried to get her to try 2 drinks then switch to a THC gummy (gentle buzz and I want nothing to do with alcohol when high), instead she just takes the gummy and keeps drinking = beyond wasted.

What OS? Assuming you’ve legit rebooted the system and router (you never know), and the issue happens even sitting right next to it: has it worked fine before? Does it show you connected to the right network in the taskbar icon? If so can you load the routers config page? Often address is 192.168.1.254 If it shows you connected and you can open the routers config page, you likely have an issue where security/MAC filtering settings are blocking your laptop from reaching the outside world over WiFi The fact that it works over wired is a good sign. There’s a lot of other possibilities but have to verify where the hangup is first.

This thread just got good

‘Remasculate’…yeah because this is peak masculinity I want to learn from

Yep I’m back to Ad AIDS

Until that happens please hide this thread from shadow operative

Well there weren’t literal thousands of people doing it all at the same time with razor wire in a country where safety is barely a word and life is often a disposable asset. Hopefully they can get some enforceable laws in place before the annual lawn dart festival in February.

From another source: ”However, the festival also “sees revellers take place in deadly contests where they try to cut down other kites with their own kite string”, wrote The Mirror. It said these contests lead kite flyers to reinforce their kite strings “with glass powder or even metal, making it sharp enough to lead to the horrific deaths”. Kite flying has become “notorious for causing death and serious injury in India”, said the Daily Mail, with two children dying at the event in 2016. That year the local government in India’s capital Delhi banned the use of sharpened, glass-covered strings, promising to “run campaigns to educate people about the dangers” as well as hand out punishments to those who do use them, said the BBC. In 2017, the National Green Tribunal banned the use of the strings, known as ‘manja’, across India.”

Which is probably why she was such a good voice for Disgust on Inside Out.

Ok cleared cookie just for Sury and now on server s100…I think, it renders below the clear cookie button. No ads now.

On desktop with Edge I’m on Server Big with no ads. Safari mobile I’m on Server with mad ads…clicking ‘delete cookie/change server’ does nothing. Do I really need to clear all cookies and do all the bullshit re-logging in your kill these ads?

The writers for season 2 of NowThis are trying too hard

All bullshit that lead to that moment aside, it was refreshing to watch a team actually listen to my dumbass and go for 2 when the defense commits a penalty on a TD. Late in a critical game like that, it’s all about information…and you learn more about your options by going for 2 there: get it and you can play the rest of the game for a winning FG, miss it and you know with 3m left you need a TD. Kicking the PAT just means you’re on the defensive now and lost the initiative. Fortune favors the bold…fuck it. Fun game

Has he tried getting elected to Congress?

Oh gawd it better be recorded and made publicly available

As noted above I haven’t been on a strict dry January but only drank once, four Pecan Porters (over five hours) a week ago at my buddy’s house for a very rare get together with him. Don’t see anything for another few weeks where I’ll drink anything…glad for that. December saw me give back 3 pounds of the 25 I’d lost last year and my resting heart rate went from monthly average of 59 to about 64, mostly due to having at least one drink a good 15/31 days. Glad to be back on the downlow. On a side note I love me some Hometown Hero Delta 9 Select Spectrum gummies. Mail order them, split one with my wife every week or so…good stuff. At ACL I’d have 3-4 beers during the day then switch to a gummy half when the sun went down, great way to keep vibing without all the complications/hangover. Legal in Texas.

I thought it was over when they bombed Pearl Harbor
