@anotherusername my dad once climbed a ladder to rescue a cat from a 10 meter utility pole. From the very top of it. How it got there, I have no idea.

The Great Huge Internet Infrastructure Update is underway. Step 1 complete: replaced the aging Linksys WRT-54GL with a new 5G router. Instant wifi improvement, mainly because of this:

That's just what I'm seeing right now. The 2.4 spectrum is absolutely clogged in my area. Every channel has multiple devices broadcasting on it.
I think there's only one other 5G router in my area. So fuck yeah!
Coming soon:
Upgrade the modem to have Gigabit ports, then upgrade all switches on the network to also have Gigabit.

They also had a 9-year-old from the crowd come onto the stage, and he got to play the drums and stay on the stage for the last song, which was adorable.

Status: Almost a month after buying a keyboard, I realized it's fundamentally broken. By which I mean, I can't write Ś on it. On standard Polish programmer's keyboard, it's AltGr+Shift+S. But when I press these three keys, it doesn't work. I can write ś, I can write S, but to write Ś, I have to use Caps Lock or right Shift (which I'll never get used to). I guess I shouldn't be surprised after spending $7.50 on it. Although I'd expect a Polish manufacturer to make sure typing all Polish letters works, even in lowest tier model.

The cat climbed up; it can climb back down. It's just that people get upset about Fluffy meowing up there and think that she's stuck.

To be fair, when using proper typing technique, a letter on the left side of the keyboard should be typed with the right shift key, and vice versa to use the left shift with letters on the right side of the keyboard.

"Can" doesn't equal "knows how". Climbing down headfirst doesn't work, and the cat might sooner die than try to climb back down ass-first without the ability to see where it's going.
They don't instinctively know how; it has to be learned, and if they've never seen another cat do it successfully, they might not be able to figure out how to get down. Most likely they'd either get so weak that they'd fall out of the tree, or some other predator would come by and make an easy meal of them once they're either dead or too weak to defend themselves. The kind thing to do is just to rescue them, if possible.
Especially in this case, it had been up there for several days in freezing weather.

So, looks like I'll be paying $450/mo for health insurance.
Goddamn.
Can someone convince me why this is a good thing?God damn it ALL!
So, I just got my new cards in the mail. For reasons.
It's the same fucking plan, but somehow the deductible magicked its way to being $1,350 higher, this despite that I'm paying 3x more on the monthly premium.
What the hell?!?!?

He's been sitting there on the pole and meowing at the top of his lungs for good 10 minutes. Also, he was about 3 months old at the time. Even if he wasn't really stuck, he might've not realized that.

Is there any reason why it's so, or is it more like proper steering wheel holding technique (different in every country, none having any benefits over any other two-handed hold)?

@tsaukpaetra Reminds me, I have to check on mine. I went through the yearly "we force you to repick all your options instead of just saving the ones from last year" thing my company does, picked all the same items, same tiers...and the other day I receive an HSA-type card in the mail. My plan has never had an HSA.
