Go home and read the guide

@Jarry With “” about, it's tempting to suggest the in-flight magazine instead. Even though those are always shit.
(I used to travel enough that I looked forward to when they'd change the in-flight magazines, and would wonder about the social lives of the security people at the airport. Fuck. That. Shit. I'm sure they're nice folks and all, but that's not the life I want.)

It was great news when I discovered I just needed the "wide" version. Thought 11 was my size. Nope! 8.5w it the real deal!

@Tsaukpaetra
I think some of it was me being used to the "leave some toe room for growing" phase of my shoe buying life, and never really thinking about the fact that my feet haven't grown in many many years.But yeah, these 10s will fit a lot better than the 11s did. though this pair might need an extra insole on the toe end (I have a really weird foot, high arch / back, but really low toes, so things usually wind up pinching a little bit where the ball/toes turn, at least until the shoe wears in and basically collapses to the form of my foot)

@ben_lubar Yeah, I noticed that. There was a similar period earlier in the day too, though I think that was shorter than 3 hours.

If you have a problem with that, there are harder video games around.

Remember that Skyrim mod where you had to get 5 fried eggs to stop a villain from getting 5 fried eggs and then you give the villain all 5 fried eggs and then the villain gets eaten by a dragon in the most anticlimactic way possible?
-
@ben_lubar Yeah but that wasn't part of the game, some dickhole made it and pissed it all over the game after release.
-
@blakeyrat Story-based mods are still games. And you definitely played that game.

@ben_lubar You could have brought up the Thieve's Guild quest which is almost as awful and was shipped as part of the game.

@Tsaukpaetra It used to be accessible from the autocomplete popup. I honestly have never once seriously looked at the icons in a WYSIWYG editor, since either I can do it by typing, or by keyboard shortcut, or it's useless to me.
Also, upon clicking it, this is what happened:
- Nothing
- I tried clicking somewhere else and apparently selected an Emjoi
- Meaning the whole popup is invisible
- The overlay (not the emoji) THEN showed up and faded out
- My browser pegged at 100% and i had to kill it in Task Manager.

Yeah, that's why I don't use it, personally. NFC what it's doing (other than apparently asking my browser to DOS the server retrieving all emojis at once), but apparently lazy-loading hundreds of emoji is a CPU-intensive task...

Status: Dear Milwaukee PC's third party vendor,
When you advertise 18 Mbps, I expect that to be the average of my upload and download speeds, not the sum.
This is why I can't upload YouTube videos that are both of (longer than 15 seconds, not dwarf fortress) without taking down the internet for everyone in my house for half a day.

Ontario put in laws recently that say you MUST slow down and pull over for any stopped emergency vehicle (including tow trucks)
Wait, Recently? I thought that was a long-standing one in my area. Actually, there's a big honking sign near one of the highway interchanges that pretty much reads "Slow down and pull over for emergency vehicles"...
Same. And lane-buzzing a cop is an excellent and proven way to adjust the target of their stop.
ONTO YOU.
Oh and since you pissed him off, hell probably get you for speed and reckless while he's at it.

umm... you could upload lots of...
hmm.
maybe Milwaukee PC is secretly protecting us all.

@Lorne-Kates said in The Official Status Thread:

According to what I can find on Google, it's $100.00 installation fee + $45.00 / month for the first year and $62.00 / month after that.

For context, that's more expensive than buying every single game Valve ever made, then buying a Steam controller every month after that for the rest of the year, and then buying 62 copies of Bad Rats for @blakeyrat each month for the rest of your life.

Really? Because I expect upload to be significantly slower than download unless I pay extra for symmetric broadband

You're right. It has been this way since time immemorial. I'm not sure where @ben_lubar got the "average" thing from. Not to mention that as a buyer of the exact same tier of service from the exact same ISP, those stats are actually pretty typical. Want faster? Get out the checkbook for the 45 Mbps tier if available, or get cable Internet and pray to Cthulhu that it's as reliable.
