You can also try speed tests locally on your network. It won’t test your internet speed per se but it will let you know if the problem is inside your LAN vs on your firewall or outside your network. In Linux (and probably Mac) you can run iperf on two devices. Gigabit ethernet should max out at around 900 Mbit…

One advantage of flying in business/premium/first class is that depending on when your flight arrives you may be rested enough to enjoy that day. I’ve got an upcoming flight from ATL to NRT (Atlanta to Tokyo), arriving in the early afternoon. I’m tall so seat pitch matters to me (never again, Spirit) but more…

My sister had a hemorrhagic stroke at 32 years old. Long story short, despite an ER doc and former EMT on scene before the ambulance got there she was labeled drug OD (no signs or history), given narcan, brought to the ER, and ignored for 2.5 hours before they ran the CT.

This doesn’t work well for smaller airports, probably doesn’t handle connecting flights well. I put in my local airport, BHM, and got almost nothing even for $2200 for one person. I adjusted length of stay and time of year, still nothing. Change to ATL and I got lots of options including some under $600. It…

When I go snorkeling near a coral reef such as in the Caribbean I don’t use sunscreen at all. I use a dive skin which is a swim friendly SPF fabric. The sunscreen just ends up in the water and poisons the reef. All the big beaches frequented by cruise ship tours are full of dead coral from tourists applying…

The Oslo to Bergen train route is supposed to be beautiful any time of year. There are full videos of it on YouTube, nice to play in the background.
