buying 62 copies of Bad Rats for @blakeyrat each month for the rest of your life.
Buying exactly one copy of Bad Rats is enough for any lifetime…

When you advertise 18 Mbps, I expect that to be the average of my upload and download speeds
Pro tip: that's not how it works.

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.
Maybe you should move somewhere that has better Internet. Like West Nowhere, Montana.

@ben_lubar
Uh, you realize your expectations aren't grounded in reality anywhere, right? Copper-based Internet (DSL, Cable) and Fixed Wireless both have technological limitations (uni-directional talk only, aka half duplex) that mean upload and download are mutually exclusive choices for use of the spectrum / bandwidth that the medium can provide. And as such, all of those providers have chosen highly asymmetric (in favor of download, often 80/20 or 90/10) packages, and only advertise their download speeds.Even in the fiber world, most FTTH uses a "splitter" technology (GPON) that results in a similar asymmetric service. Though the GPON fiber ratio is typically more in the 66/33 range. And given the relative costs of GPON vs fiber strands, providers are tending away from GPON and toward "Active Ethernet" (one strand = one house), which results in a true full duplex tech.
But good luck getting that in 'merka outside of the BIG cities... (that have been blessed by our lord and savior
GoogleAlphabet )

It's a hell of a lot better than a lot of indies I've played.
-
@blakeyrat True but only because 94.6% of indie games are some level of crap. Bad Rats is firmly in that category and once you're already at 'shitstain', there's not much further down you can go, so saying it's better than a lot of indie games is not much of a compliment.

Meh. I'd rather play it than pretty much ANY of the zombie survival games I've played.

Yes, drink more water, if you want to get rid of the hangover.
Drink more water using your lungs, if you're still interesting in the suicide

BTW: I only saw something fly by in OnePost, but couldn't read it because mobile and/or cooties I forget. What's the most recent RaceProNoPost thing?

@Arantor I suspect this was more of a 'You legitimately poisoned yourself with beer, you fucking moron' problem than 'You dehydrated yourself, you fucking moron'

In certain cities, there are tales told of internet plans that are twice as fast and cost a quarter as much.
In fact, that hypothetical plan is faster than the $72/month plan for downloads, and the lowest speed plan that has an upload speed that is at least as high as the hypothetical plan costs $120/month, plus an extra $99/month if you don't want them spying on you.

Okay, I misread a few things, and apparently it's $29/month-$66/month for them to not spy on you and send you ads that you can't unsubscribe from without paying them.

I was going to post a joke about it being something like ghostery (which "protects" you from trackers by selling your info to them instead), but apparently that's not much of a joke.
Also, at this point I think it's more than obvious that AT&T wasn't just going along with America's spy programs - they're taking notes.

@Weng The last time I got that bad, it cleared up within a day.
It was intensely miserable. My stomach felt so bad that I was having problems drinking even water in order to make my head feel better. I don't drink nearly so much wine now.

How would that work? Most search is done through google, google is HTTPS by default.
Or do they mean that google collaborates with them and sends them the (ip, search terms) data?

A student asked me during today's lecture:
"Do you know how to execute hookers in Wordpress?"
... And now I don't know whether to page Lorne Kates or post it in the guacamole thread. So I decided to do neither.

Neither, report them for violating the Geneva convention. Murder is one thing, but using Wordpress as an accessory to murder? Scary shit.

Audi A6 Estate. It's a lease as I tend to change cars roughly every 3 years anyway and it works out cheapest for that.

They're decent, even if they do look a bit weird. Weird looking cars is nothing new for Citroen though.

If I have a choice, I'll generally buy the purple option.
For my wedding I had a purple waistcoat and top hat, and most of my kitchen items are also purple. Same for my headphones and even a pair of trousers
