Kbin_space_program,

Tazo is Lipton, as someone else explained here.

The big bagged tea supermarket brands don't get even the bad quality tea leaves. They buy the remains and dust no one else wants.

That's why the bags have such fine mesh. And also why them having any amount of protein isn't entirely unexpected.

Me vs my ISP

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

Kbin_space_program,

You can. But it then has to route through their modem+router single piece unit.

E.g. I have my own router which handles everything I need. But I switched ISPs recently to save 70$ per month, and the new company router has parts of its functionality, like turning off the wifi, built into their smartphone app and disabled in the admin panel.

Also the username and password for the unit is, by default, admin/admin. In 2023.

Sir Christopher Lee: schooled the LOTR crew on precisely what it sounds like to stab a man in the back.

Kbin_space_program,

Because the Greeks you hear about were the aristocracy. You don't hear how some estimates of the population breakdown were more than 80%-90% slaves.

Just like how you hear of the 300 Spartans, but not the several thousand Thebians, most of whom were slaves, who also defended the pass.

Kbin_space_program,

It's not even right, since the French were the ones that stole most of the artifacts out of Egypt. Then the English stole them from the French.

Kbin_space_program,

Pretty sure this is the video. It's just that old.

Kbin_space_program,

Should have put it as a pusher propeller.
If nothing else it would be a way to spice up the risk of tailgating.

Kbin_space_program,

SSB is toys of those characters. That's why they turn into figures and why all of the items are figures.

And why the final boss is a hand.

Kbin_space_program, (edited )

looks at ICBC, BC Hydro and BC Ferries.

Looks at how Canadian ISPs led the world in early internet technology then once privatized, ignored it and allowed Nortel to be infiltrated and shut down by CCP spies, allowing then to steal 5G technology.

Hell, in Vancouver you have the private Canada /RAV line, and the public Skytrain line. One was built in the 1980s and isn't at capacity yet and the private one was finished in 2008 and is already over capacity.

Yeah there really is 0 comparison between public and private.

Kbin_space_program,

There's also the problem that an advanced civilization will seemingly always ruin a less advanced one with contact.

They might be staying away simply because they're isn't a solution to that issue.

Maybe you shouldn't use the "leave Britney alone" dude for that given that what she went through was because we didn't listen to her or leave her alone.

Kbin_space_program,

And then Frasier is just that captain's personal holodeck program?

Kbin_space_program,

In a word, Yes.

The music industry, like the movie industry and video game industry, wants guaranteed hits. What better way to guarantee a hit than to rehash some old thing that is now more than 7 years old. (And falling!)

Kbin_space_program,

It could have been cheesily amusing if Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra was made into a run-in the Enterprise show had with the same species.

Kbin_space_program,

No French press?

Kbin_space_program,

This. Civil War's final fight scene is hugely overrated. Iron man by that point had tangled with multiple fighter aircraft, dozens of missile armed drones, Thor and more. Goes down to two strong guys punching him.

Even before Endgame, there were some stinkers.

It's one of the reasons why Guardians of the Galaxy was so popular, it changed the formula.

Kbin_space_program, (edited )

If Google makes it, that's a good reason for it to never be a standard.

Also, willing to bet that it's anti ad block code. Google fired most of the senior devs that would k ow how to optimize this.

Kbin_space_program,

Boy, she's really haunted by that.

Kbin_space_program,

The problem is that the rich are hiding that they're shit with money and can't pay interest on their loans by jacking up the prices of everything

Kbin_space_program,

Canada's Hundred Days. Aka the last 100 days of WW1.

Functionally, Canada won WW1 for the allies.

Being under 10% of the WW1 force, in that period they tackled defences everyone else thought impregnable and shattered them, like the Hindenburg Line, and in the process paved the way for the allied advance. They also took out a quarter of the German forces in that time.

While they did arguably use proto-blitzkrieg tactics of using lots of machine guns, and then also using vehicles to move troops even quicker while using said machine guns, one of the biggest factors was a prodigious use of chemical weapons.

To the point that in the interwar period, Canada had the largest capacity and stores of chemical weapons. During WW2, said stockpile is one of the reasons Hitler refused to use chemical weapons on the allies.

Edit: And a lot of the rules on fair treatment of POWs and rules on capturing surrendered soldiers also stems of Canadian soldiers behaviours during WW1.

Kbin_space_program,

Sorry, mountain dew tastes better than tea?

What garbage store brand floor scrapings sorry ass tea have you tried.

Kbin_space_program,

Not just the bees, all bugs in North America have seen a 75% die off in the last 20 years.

Big shocker that songbirds, which eat those bugs, have also seen a massive die off.

Despite those deniers that still blame housecats, the true culprit is almost certainly pollution and pesticides.

Kbin_space_program,

Oh certainly can't help. But we know that the pesticides and herbicides have carryon effects to unintended species. Ones that the parent companies that invented them didn't report on because they don't kill those species. Ones that don't necessarily kill them, but lead to things like the white nose fungus running amock in bats, or lead to Colony Collapse Disorder or other infections in bee colonies.

Kbin_space_program,

It'll also be slightly-less-radioactive mud without the dust from nuclear weapons on it.

Kbin_space_program,

They've been trying this entire time to reframe the argument into the app developers being the bad apples.

By getting one scab to exist, they can work at that angle now better than they could before.
