Use an ethernet cable.

And since you brought it up, while many people pay their ISP to rent a modem with integrated wifi access point, anyone who is serious about gaming who can’t use ethernet isn’t (shouldn’t, doesn’t wan to be ) paying their ISP for “wifi”.

I suppose some ISPs might serve people wifi as a product,…

Might be useful for people who travel a lot or have to deal with hotelling offices [spits on floor and curses for 10 minutes] where you never know if someone left it in high contrast mode or bleeding eyeballs bright mode

Never used my whole arm to flip a pancake before. I imagine that would make a massive mess... may have been something that my parents instilled in me without my noticing, though.

Perhaps the difference is an extra layer of insulation to help people make a smart decision.

I knew a few families that did fondue for special occasions. To my knowledge, none of the children of those families continued the traditions independently (just when ma and pop came over for Christmas or some such). I used to get invited by the kids of those families to participate but I was too young to be in…

I played it on the PS1 in the late 90's. As with a LOT of PS1 games, I really enjoyed it but it took so damned long to load I didn’t have time to really give the game time.

I’m still teetering on this one but I’ve yet to finish Triangle. The cut scenes just kill me, never have time get through them before the kids grab the Switch and play Smash. Which doesn’t bother me at all in the regular course of things. Only when I think “I should go back to Triangle”

Every project manager/scrumbag ever...

“I’m confused...” they say before, “because I thought you said last week that it would take two weeks and now that you have clearly explained all the information you’ve found, all the nuances of what’s happening, and the reasoning you’re saying a month. How can this possibly be…

Someone probably got tired of certain people using that phrase as a way to sound superior. It doesn’t have to be that way.

I don’t want to give away too many of my diplomatic secrets, but if you change it to “For context...”, then actually read your crowd rather than blathering on like a moron to see if it looks like…

Everyone should be titling these articles:

“Moron pays <more than $0> for NFT worth $0 that is now worth $0.”

I go to bed, phone goes on the wireless charger within easy reach. I developed the discipline to GTFO of bed when my alarm goes off in my early teens. I developed the discipline to not play video games all night long when I need to be up for something important, again, in my early teens.

Rocky II wasn’t a terrible movie. It’s certainly not the worst of the series (looking at you Rocky V). It is, however, very hard to watch... really hard. Not terrible... painful. Like, I’ve seen a lot of my friends during our 20's go down a similar hole after much smaller successes/windfalls.

My brother frequently goes back to GnG and plays through it a few times. I could never get through a game as a kid and never got back into it. A friend of ours picked up the arcade cabinet a about 20 years back and still has it in his basement. 

The MST3K Turkey Day Marathon is our Thanksgiving TV thing. It’s on all day. Once I was out on my own, I’ve never bothered with sports on Thanksgiving. 

Getting stuck in the maze with the eggplant wizard was a nightmare the first dozen attempts

Oh, man. The first time you get egg planted... so much despair for a child to suffer.

Clearly reading is hard for you. Let’s try it again

In the context of my very small social spheres in the late 80's and early 90's...

This can only work if the home value increases enough to qualify for said refi. The problem right now is that, hopefully, housing prices will continue to plummet so that they return to the actual value (less than half of what they were at the beginning of the year AT MOST).

“Don’t be a dick or an idiot in a hardware store”

Got it.
