So many people in here “solving” high-speed Internet for less than 2% of the earth’s area.

OK, now think about all the other places on the earth’s surface that Starlink can reach that 5G is nowhere near built-out in...

You have NOAA contacts but somehow don’t know about the Pacific Ocean not having fiber-optic cables strung all over the place for ships to use the Internet?

So we just need to get all 195 countries to mandate fiber optic lines?

Welp, this guy with a “physics degree” (honestly, is that the most impressive thing you could think of for your anonymous online self?) says we should just abandon satellite technology. Our work is done here, boys!

What you’re suggesting would work, for some rural populations in developed countries. The cost of building out the last mile to a widespread rural population will still be high.

“Sorry rural folks, you can’t have decent Internet because something might happen in the next 0-1000 years that would cost a lot of money to fix.”

Ditto a Punisher logo, especially if it’s in a stars-and-stripes motif.

Such a convenient way to explain the way out of it. “Sorry, everyone, y’all will get shot because of ‘structural reasons’ on the force. Sucks to be you.”

Not sure a story about a cop shooting a kid armed with a jug of antifreeze is the place to trumpet the force’s collective “mental toughness.”

Back in the day if you bought a Golf or Jetta in Texas (or anywhere in the Southwest) the first thing you did was replace the thermostat with one that would open at a cooler temp so your car wouldn’t constantly overheat.

You forgot to call him a “pedo guy.”

Hopefully the oil pressure problem isn’t too hard to sort out. Looking forward to updates on the conversion. Since it’s not a “skoolie” that raises the question: What’s the slang for city-bus conversion RV?

Nothing says “true apology” like immediately following the apology with “if” or “but.”

First Gear: “Might be hard to come by” ?? They’ve been hard to come by for a few months. We’re driving a new-to-us 2017 Honda CR-V because we couldn’t afford a similarly-aged Outback in our town. New inventory was at a trickle, putting pressure on the used Subie market.

Must be sad to be so angry.

As many a grandma says here in Texas: bless your heart.

I, too, was born a basic white man. I’m a middle aged and overweight, too. I say this with the most sincerity: Fuck yourself with a saguaro cactus.

Some GM designer: “gotta work this bumper in, just make it look like the Vega, it’ll be fine.”

You don’t like that beautiful US-spec front bumper?
