Wallboard is a brand name for Sheet Rock right?

“Generally” hardly ever applies in property ownership laws. 

It’s not “city property” it’s his property. The city (probably) has a right-of-way easement, but the deed is in his name.

Legally it’s still his property, always was. There’s an easement on it, but he still owns the property. 

Erik gets paid whenever someone comments about how insubstantial his posts are. Congrats, you just bought him dinner!

I saw a pretty good argument in favor of “plus nuts” when I was researching roof rack options. I’ve never tried either, though.

The fact that you could get gouged by a manufacturer negates the “I wish we could have direct sales to avoid being gouged” argument.

The bad PR is so bad, nobody will want to buy a new Bronco! Oh, wait...

You think Ford couldn’t think up “charge a premium for people who insist on being FIRST!!!!!!!1!” on their own?

The problem, though, isn’t “today’s cars” or “driver vision.” You could’ve stopped at the first sentence. This crash was caused by general stupidity.

Starlink can reach people traditional infrastructure can’t, because it costs way too much to string wires to that “nomad in sahara.”

Oh I definitely believe your job has nothing to do with NOAA and you made all that shit up.

And all those folks in undeveloped countries just need to move to where the internets is!

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.”
