    Starlink

    Just got my Starlink kit today here in Mexico. We have 150mb fiberoptic service with Telmex, but the recent outages pissed me off enough to price Starlink. It's a weekly, sometimes daily issue; some CFE moron working on power lines disconnects the line; someone trying to steal cable/power cuts the line; rats/squirrels eat the line. Fucking ridiculous. Anyway, here in Mexico, Starlink equipment is $425 and $57 monthly. Setup took 10 minutes on the roof and I was getting 90/90 standing next to the router. Downstairs I'm getting maybe 30/30, but that won't improve until I receive the ethernet adapter and connect it to my mesh system. Starlink delivered in 3 days, which is a miracle in Mexico. The only issue was that the dish was really dirty and obviously used. They didn't even bother to wipe it off before they put it in the box. Still waiting on the Starlink kit for my house in Austin; ordered early 2022 and the website says maybe 2024.
  2. I love CoatiSaurs PXL_20210715_115746703.mp4
  3. Eva Lasting - Colombian show about the first girl at an all boys school in 1976. Pretty funny. Lead actress is hot as fuck.
  4. Brutal and depressing. Fraser definitely deserves the Oscar.
  5. You'll notice the section right above your quote....none of that is reliably sourced. I can go in and add The Alamo and Trump Tower as "inspirations". Walt Disney did a grand tour of Europe with his brother in 1935....they toured several countries extensively, including Germany. On their return, he discussed the Disney castle design with Herb Rymar and used Neuschwanstein as the inspiration. There is no evidence either of those 2 ever visited Spain or saw pics of Segovia prior to the Disney castle design. All that is sourced from a book...https://www.amazon.com/Disneys-Grand-Tour-European-Vacation/dp/1941500102/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1588468667&sr=1-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=thegermawayandmo&linkId=e6fd7e48500480f307eec27bd43d2fb9&language=en_US I'm currently booking tickets to Neuschwanstein and an airbnb in Madrid (possibly Segovia also)...that plus my rabid Disney fanatic girlfriend caused me to go down the castle rabbit hole.
  6. Wiki and Disney seem to agree, so that's what I went with. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_Beauty_Castle
  7. How so? He was stabbed and didn't immediately die, i.e. an injury.
  8. The queen's castle in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was inspired by the Alcazar castle. The Disneyland/Sleeping Beauty/Cinderella castle was based on Neuschwanstein.
  9. His injury is a cut scene and the game doesn't progress without it.
  10. The last 2 episodes have been hot garbage.
  11. Through 3 episodes it's pretty meh; aside from the cool retro-futuristic motif,
  12. Any non USAA options? I'm not eligible. @Wulaw Horn who was your insurer? How were they to work with on the claim? Anyone can sell you insurance. Claims are important. I use State Farm, as do a bunch of guys on the Sportsmobile forums. https://www.sportsmobileforum.com/forums/search.php?searchid=4638348
  13. Maybe? Maybe not? If you had read all the comments RE: Episode 3, you'd know none of that happened in the game. The writers didn't create a 1:1 screenplay adaptation; those of us that know the game continue to be just as surprised as you.
  14. The actress is 19, no pedo warning necessary.
  15. I am guessing the letter was more like: at some point before the trip Brian tells his mom Gabby went nuts and threatened to stab/shoot/kill him, protective mom replies she'll bring a shovel to help bury her if that happens.
  16. uh, where did I opine that she deserved death? I just posted additional info that was omitted from the linked story.
  17. The Laundrie attorneys are saying the letter was written prior to the trip, after Brian told his mom about Gabby raging on him. Apparently they have proof of prior incidents where Gabby went off on Brian.
  18. People who make long drives to their travel destinations, i.e. on vacation? If I've been driving for 5 hours and feel the need to shit, I'm not holding it 5 more hours till I get to the hotel. More power to you and your principals if you routinely hold shits in for hours to avoid rest stops, I'm sure that's a fun drive.
  19. The problem is you need a man purse to carry it into rest stops/restaurant bathrooms, otherwise it looks like you're sneaking in to pleasure yourself with a giant sex toy.
  20. Oh for fucks sake, no one was following this guy around persecuting him. I just pointed out that spelling a travel destination the way he (wrongly) thinks it's pronounced prevents people from searching for it. No one here creates threads about their trips to WahToolCo, OurCanSaw or driving on ManShack, and they would be laughed at if they did. Most people respond with a simple "Yep, my bad"...instead, the OP doubled down, railing on US imperialism, virtue signaling about native bonding and declaring that anyone poking fun at him is evil and toxic. In short, he was being a pretentions dbag, which, in case you're new to the shaggyverse, is frowned upon. And I can see from the pretentious dbag that liked your post, I was spot on.
  21. Why the fuck would I bother? People like you wouldn't believe it even if Vice and PBS documentaries confirmed it. I'm not gonna post every fucking internet article on the subject; if you actually gave a shit about something other than your own narrative, you'd look yourself.
  22. Sorry, I didn't take a video the last time I was helping my crew bring guns through the Guatemala border. Aside from "I live in Mexico and have friends all over Mexico who talk about this stuff", there are plenty of online articles about it.
