Shit like this is why people need to knock it off with the “iT’s A sCaM” bullshit and embrace crypto. This is the exact kind of issue that using cryptocurrency prevents.

We need to federate money and put it back in the hands of the people. You would think that Lemmy would be into that idea, but instead y’all act like crypto killed your dog and fucked your wife. I don’t get it.

(And before you use the waste of electricity argument, remember that proof of stake is a thing.)

“Cookers”?

I’m not 100% sure but I think this is the episode I was referencing. Have a listen and let me know (don’t have time to check for myself; about to clock in for work):

Verizon 5G Home Internet. The one with the big box that goes in your window, not the one with the smaller box that can go anywhere in the house.

As someone who has had download speeds above gigabit all throughout the 2020s so far (and for under $60/mo as well), it blows my mind that there are pcarts of the country that still don’t even have 10% of that.

Like what I’m saying is that even cell phone towers can do multi-gig speeds these days FFS, so there’s no excuse even for rural areas to not have at least a couple of reliable gigabit options available, no matter where you are in the country.

If they can figure out reliable 5G in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, surely they can install an antenna on grandpa’s farm and beam a 2.5Gbps signal directly to his rooftop. I mean my 1400Mbps line comes in through a 5G gateway sitting in my kitchen window sill and it has been just as reliable as fiber for me, even with a giant pine tree in the way blocking line-of-sight to the tower. ISPs need to stop making up excuses, and actually start investing those outrageous monthly fees they collect into better infrastructure.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist.

You have seen the footage from the newly released camera angle that was circulating a few days ago, right? Here it is with descriptive captions in case you haven’t:

The Osbournes are a bunch of Trump supporters. After the (allegedly) staged assassination attempt, the whole family hopped on The Osbournes podcast to sing his praises. I grew up with this family but I was so disgusted by their comments that I immediately unsubscribed and haven’t followed anything Ozzy since…

And Arizona Cardinals, named after the state, of course.

TIL that the Washington football team is from Washington D.C., not Washington State.

I also recently learned that the Pentagon also isn’t located in Washington state. This shit needs a disambiguation page for real life.

How do those boots taste?

That doesn’t really confort me much, given that I just realized that it has been TEN YEARS since Letterman left! I hate how quickly time started moving when COVID first hit. Time never slowed back down, it never slowed back down!

I feel like he just replaced Letterman a year or two ago and now the show is already ending. Where the hell did all the time go? How am I nearly 40 already?
