How would that work? Like I still have my original modem, that you put the phone receiver on after dialing into a BBS. But none of those things exist anymore.
And I'm pretty sure I have most of the peripherals. I even have the cassette drive. But I don't remember any wireless tech back then. Granted, it's all in a box in storage.. and it's been at least 30 years since I saw it so maybe I don't remember correctly?

We are the ones being lampooned now
Just got informed last week that we didn't meet the qualifications to get a bonus this year.
The qualifications they didn't tell us about.
The qualifications that we have no control over.
No bonus because people higher in the chain didn't meet specific goals. (Pretty sure they are still getting a bonus because rank.)
I won't meet the qualifications next year because I'll be working somewhere else. The pay is low because bonuses make up for it (supposedly).

Why are faucets so expensive?
At one point in my life I designed bathrooms and kitchens. I've sold thousands of faucets. Here's a few points on regular retail faucets in the US.
Expensive faucets, you are paying for the design (Grohe), or for quality parts (Kohler).
Cheap faucets are made with cheap parts and are often old designs from major brands. These knock-offs are sold under store brand names usually (Aquasource/Lowes, Glacier Bay/Home Depot) and are made of cheap plastic. Avoid these unless you plan on replacing (rentals).
If you buy Grohe, don't buy a US made model. Another company paid to use the name and 'style' in the US but the interior parts are cheap plastic bits and some things are modified to reduce the cost of manufacturing. Not worth the extra money they charge.
For most people I recommend sticking to the big names. Moen, Delta, Kohler, etc. They come with good warranties and parts are available everywhere.
You can still find really neat old faucets and repair them. Chicago, Price Pfister, Eljer had some good stuff back in the day and you can get new parts from Danco.

'Stop Playing Nice,' Says AOC as Senate Dems Help Approve Yet Another Trump Nominee
The elite Democrats aren't worried about fighting back.
They are trying to figure out how they can win the next round AND HOW THEY WILL USE THE SYSTEM TO THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE ONCE THEY REGAIN CONTROL.
We need another party that is actually for the people.

Justice Department considering push for historic break up of Google after landmark antitrust ruling: report
Don't 'break it up', nationalize it, and do the same with all these other giant corporations.
Profits could support UBI instead of encouraging billionaires.

He was evicted and his home was later listed on Airbnb. Meanwhile, his landlord hosted a charity event to end homelessness
I did maintenance for a low income building. They would have me upgrade specific units so they could Airbnb them while they denied low income applications to keep those units empty. Disabled people who needed housing were denied because it was more profitable to leave it empty and rent it out to tourists a few times a month.
We also didn't do maintenance on specific units in order to get tenants to move out. There was a specific unit that was given to new tenants that would routinely flood. They used it to get rid of people that complained too much. If you only complained a little and cooperated with their bs, you could eventually move to a unit that stayed dry all year.

Anon goes out with friends
Got stopped by a rando while trying to build up the courage to jump. Told him that my car was broken down and that's why I was stopped in the middle of the bridge in pouring down rain.
He got out and offered to help me, despite the fact that it was 3AM and the rain was coming down hard.
Awkward.
The car of course started just fine and I thanked him and continued my drive home.
I doubt he had any idea the difference he made.

'Shocking' footage shows handcuffed inmate who died after prison guards beat him

It happened to me decades ago. My PARENTS didn't care.
"Well what did you say to make them so angry?"
I was still a teenager, and cops with guns and nightsticks had to beat me up while I was being processed and wearing handcuffs, all because I was "running my mouth".
