My ISP (Cincinnati Bell FiOptics) won’t let me drop the fee, but it’s still worth using my own. Full access to change settings, install DD-WRT if desired, plus actually get firmware updates.

I love how Brad’s customer at Starbucks is given the benefit of the doubt that he has friends.

I was surprised when I saw an article on CNN about Wifi Sense and they actually got this right.

Honestly, I’m keeping updates from multiple sources on, just not from PCs on the Internet. I see value in one of my own systems getting the updates and distributing it out to the others.

My mother still likes to tell a story of taking me to a restaurant, young enough to need a booster seat apparently, and as the little shithead I was, terrorizing the waiter with questions like “This says they are New potatoes. This other option says mashed potatoes but doesn’t say they are new. Are the mashed potatoes…

My mother used to take me with her into a fabric store, where I’d get bored (at that age, a fairly small amount of time can seem like an eternity). I apparently decided to amuse myself by pulling the tags out of the center of the fabric rolls. They were attached, but they apparently prefered them not dangling. This…

Don’t do training wheels. Get a regular bike that fits you and learn on that. For someone that can’t balance on a regular bike for health reasons, or other issues, the best thing to do is to get a recumbent trike.

I’ve really never been in a fight, but bullying got interesting. What ended up surprising me was after several years of taunting etc in high school, on the first day my Senior year, the same kids start doing it again (which I always ignored, I was surprised they had the patience), then I hear in the background “Don’t…

EdithPrickley is right, it’s David Burke’s, they have it on their menu, Red Velvet in a can. Steaks pretty much start at $50+ a la carte.

Wow, I never thought that when I lick the beaters at home that I was mimicing something done at a high end restaurant. I’m not sure it’s something I want to do in public.

I’ve wondered about this as well. If your wedding is supposed to be one of the biggest days of your life, why wouldn’t someone just drop it and move on, find another provider? Now, I can see an issue if say the venue that’s been booked for months all of a sudden says that they won’t allow it a week before the event.

There’s just something wrong about an Ohio Class sub being called the USS Michigan.

I went and feel like I was sold a lie. I’m still waiting for my robots. And no, Roomba’s don’t count.

Small item but, a corn stripper? It’s called use a knife. Someone may even buy a Cut Brooklyn.

I actually had someone argue with me that Mel Brooks was an antisemite....I just about did a double facepalm, upside their head.

No lives were lost in that crash. There was one serious injury, a passenger broke their leg.

You’ll be waiting a long time if you’re waiting for SP1.

However I don’t think any of those versions had as many knocking on the builds as this one. I do know for Windows ME, the external beta testers knew it wasn’t ready, but Microsoft went with it anyway.

That last one is a real piece of work, but unfortunately doesn’t really surprise me. Not a car story, but my in-laws neighbor actually forced them into arbitration because they had a tree in their yard and the leaves had the nerve to land in his yard. He wanted them ordered to cut it down. No limbs in danger of…

I wish my story was as good. I got called in for an interview (first clue that something was up was that it was WAY too easy to get an in person interview) but really needed a job so I went. Second warning sign was I was in the interview with another candidate. Third clue, it was more of a sales pitch and talked about…
