If you vomit DO NOT brush teeth, do rough mouthwashing with a non-acidic drink like water or milk

Right! Trying to figure out why the latency is all weird all of a sudden I just didn't remember it making a bunch of noise but normally I have my headphones on

livid flame
#

What’s wrong wit your latency

#

And if it’s over WiFi, that’s why.

shell void
#

if your latency is inconsistent while your bandwidth is saturated then that’s normal

#

you need smart queue management to avoid that

#

or just have so much bandwidth that you won’t ever saturate it

livid flame
#

When I test my WiFi it bounces between like 30 and 40 then you get a random ping of 180-220 every so often

Thats alot of pain. Saying ones peace is also hard and something i struggle with. Few years ago my aunty went into a coma and they pulled the plug probs one of my least favored expierences, I chose not to see her in that state cause I dont have the heart, and when my uncle died I didn't go to the funeral as I literally couldnt stand to face my cousins or my grandfather to express our hurt.

# indigo walrus I see "T-Mobile" in one of your speedtest screenshots... what kind of internet s...

The 5G one. There aren't any lines for anyone else at the property. CenturyLink has a 1.5mbps 786kbps option for $89 per month ... Sounded like a bad deal. Since they note typical is 786 bidirectional.

Originally we were told Google fiber within 30 days and then property Management decided they didn't want Google digging up the entire property and just been kind of stuck with no home internet, and just my hotspot.

Gaming was fine on the hotspot but the phone eventually gets angry and powers back for thermal.

This is "$35" with bundle.

Other option was starlink which I'm told is fine, but $165/month, and $3k hardware if I wanna match the 5G speeds. $500 if I am okay with 60mbps/8mbps (that would get annoying)

Yeah, I kept slamming into my 50GB hotspot limit.

And even with me routing it in ways that it wouldn't be detected ... there's only so many months they were going to let me use 800 GB on my phone.

And since the only other option is AT&T who does not work at my address at all lol, figured it was in my best interest to pay $35 before I'm banned from the network

Quick sound check to make sure you are hearing left and right audio from the correct side. If you are hearing the speech from both sides, then something is mixing the audio. It could be hardware (headphones or a plug that only supports mono) or software ("mono audio" could be selected in the accessibility settings on your device, for example).

I feel like it's still a gray area no matter what because the FTC could see this as encouraging US citizens to start importing sanctioned goods.

Mmmm snow

It’s coming

Yeah. that second and first paragraph states that depending on how he got paid, Deepcool might've just violated the sanctions.

Can get a prebuilt 9600x / 9060xt 16gb with 2tb nvme and 32gb 6000 ddr5 for Ā£1154 including VAT. For USD that’s $1290 before tax

As uk includes the tax so gotta take our 20% off

#

Not a bad deal considering

indigo walrus
buoyant hedge
#

Well, they were already punished via the sanctions, why not go further.

#

/s

livid flame
#

Albeit directly or indirectly, the paragraph is clear that it will seek to punish those who wish to evade the law of that land (US) through any method. It’s a pretty standard ruling for law.

#

The last part is trying to ensure you don’t for example - transact with sanctioned company via your German bank account then import to the US, then use your US bank account to pay the German account. Thus usurping the intention of the sanction.

#

(Which is a fairly standard way everyone gets round these sanctions)

i showed my friend the heatsink manufacturing video gn just did... they raised an interesting question
De8bur says teh only way to manufacture in geremy is to miniminize the number of man hours. ... so similar to USA, germany labor is 10X china labor per hour.
so what would the point of bringing back USA manufacture do? it been touted for +1M high paying jobs ... but who is buying goods from USA for 20X the final cost of teh china good? šŸ¤”

So when can you get a full license?

So basically a 17 year old can drive without restrictions?

low sorrel
#

Yeah

pallid marsh
livid flame
#

Rare but can happen in the UK also, so not too different

vestal granite
#

schools can get you a permit sooner and then getting a license is usually a test + minimum hours driven

edgy laurel
vestal granite
#

like good grades and a school will give you a paper to get a permit at like 14 or somethin, then you can have a license after you hit 16 if you pass the driving test

low sorrel
# low sorrel Yeah

Well not exactly here, your fucked in the asshole and bent over if you break any traffic laws, no license if you have ANY alcohol, cant use hands free devices and a one passenger limit

warped mountain
# livid flame I’ve always wondered. What caveats come with driving at 16 in the US such as fre...

no much, liek before 16 you have a parent with you, (it used ot be ANY licensed driver, then they said NAH lets NOT have 16 year olds responsiable for 15.5 years olds, and changed it to "Must have a licensed driver who is at least 21 years of age seated in the front seat next to him or her at all times."
here is everything else including our GHETTO insurance laws taht dont even cover an e-bike ...

livid flame
#

So basically. At 16 you can drive a metal machine that can kill, at 18 you can buy a firearm that can kill. However if you want to kill yourself slowly with alcohol and cigarettes you have to be 21?

# low sorrel Ok what if your an orphan

ORRR

you do the hack and wait until 18, take teh test, pass and you can drive with ZERO experience unrestricted... instruction hours are only reqired for below 18...
on teh test you need an 80% ... which means you cna miss EVERY sign question and pass.
oh and when you dro teh driving bit, the instructor will "skip the freeway because i dont wanna die" and have you make 3 rights, never exceed 25 mph and then sign you off as good, as long as you can perpendicular park
(we have ONE DMV that does parallel parking and you cant use teh camera... no one goes there šŸ˜†)

Rich tea is what’s made for dipping. IIRC was designed during ww2 to stop it crumbling in with gear to allow people to eat and also dip in tea if they were lucky enough to have it

like u cant own a rifle at 14 but u can use it if you have a hunting license or somethin

A digestive biscuit is a semi-sweet, wheat-based biscuit from Scotland, known for its slightly crumbly texture and salty-sweet flavor, originally developed in 1839 to aid digestion due to ingredients like sodium bicarbonate and malt extract, though modern versions are calorie-dense and best enjoyed with tea, often dipped or covered in chocolate. McVitie's is the most famous brand, creating the popular milk chocolate version in 1925.
