Thanks. Yeah I think I was capped at 35GB which was up from 15 a few years ago. In a way it didn't matter that much because the regular service was so crappy it was hard to tell if I was throttled sometimes. Starlink is totally unlimited so far.

Never tried Biltong but Facebook and Instagram are constantly trying to sell it to me. Is there a good brand to try and see what it's like?

Those "best by" dates are just there because they hope you will throw it away and buy a new one. If you don't open those bottles they will last way longer than November.

I got my starlink set up and it's a game changer. The internet just works now. It's amazing after 12 years of being barely functional online. This speedtest from the first day got me excited... Haven't seen that again, but the fast ones are around 150Mbps and the slow ones are around 65...

Would never want another kitchen gadget that does the exact same thing as a pot of water on the stove. Why?

I think goats are pretty lucrative if you have a place to market them. They are hard to keep fenced in though and they've been known to get an idea in their head and take off and go for miles sometimes. They will also get on your car/roof if you let them.

That's what I thought, but then I'm not sure what the point of switching to gas would be. Just so you can use the kitchen stove burners when the power is out?

If the goal is just to not have to depend on the electrical grid, just get a wood stove in addition to your current appliances. If you don't like cutting wood you can use your electric heat and just have wood as a backup. They even make ones that you can cook on, although a grill on the back...

It would be pretty obvious. It would say on it that it's GFCI and have some sort of a test button which a normal breaker wouldn't have.

They very cleverly made two patterns that work most of the way down but if you go all the way with it 21-13 does not equal 7.

If the light your dimmer switch is controlling is working then it's probably not related unless the outlets are on the same circuit and you disconnected them when you put in the dimmer. That would be a weird way to wire something but people do weird shit all the time. Make sure the breaker...

Snap rings are the worst, even if you have the pliers.

So clearly we need to start launching all of our shit into outer space so by the time the sun burns out we will have a big enough shit ball keep earth warm.

I liked Last Week Tonight for a while but between the sanctimoniousness and the just plain silliness and over reliance on gross out humor I can't take it anymore. I heard an interview with Stewart a few months ago and all he wanted to talk about was his animals on his "farm" and how they made...

Quarterbacks with cut abs are focusing on the wrong thing. The greatest QBs from history mostly have doughy bellies just like Mac Jones. You want your QB eating Cheetos and watching film all day, not spending all his time in the weight room.

Mining water on the moon would theoretically be cheaper to supply space ships or ? It's not like we have a shortage of it on earth and moving it from one place to another on earth is a hell of a lot easier than getting it down from the moon. Ditto for rare earth minerals. They come from China...

Don't knock the eocboost until you try it. It doesn't sound all that manly, but it gets up and goes.

Yeah those little Honda generators have been $900-$1200 for years now. I really want one because they are so quiet and portable but I can't really justify it when I have other generators. Those things are so nice to carry around though. And yeah, I've said it before but both Honda and Briggs...

Anybody tried the new Ford 7.3L gas engine? I'm maybe buying a new pickup next year and I'm pretty intrigued by it. I would like to have a diesel but it just chaps my ass paying $10,000 more so I don't have to drop down to 45mph the 15 times a year I pull a heavy trailer up a big hill.

That's a deep rabbit hole. There's a wide range of prices and varied opinions on catalyst vs. no catalyst etc. Surprisingly complicated for a metal box with a chimney coming out the top.

Assuming your 3d printer will work for thousands of years. And what happens when you run out of whatever material you're using to print with? Building something to travel through space and support a population of humans with absolutely no outside inputs for many generations is about 10 orders...

And not many machines last more than 10 years without significant repairs. Even if you take 10 spares of every moving part on the ship you're probably going to be out of them in a couple hundred years unless you come across intergalactic pep boys along the way.

https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/08/21/nick-bosas-recovery-could-have-the-49ers-star-better-than-his-rookie-year/amp/ I sure hope this guy can stay healthy. I'm getting pretty excited about the 9ers defensive line this year.

I have lots of Craftsman hand tools. It's fine and lifetime guaranteed and you don't feel too bad about it if you lose it. Some of the fancy stuff is a little nicer in that it has a better finish and feels better in your hand, but if you're not using them every day you pay a lot for a little...

Ooh I wish I had some of Tony Hawk's blood. Oh wait, no I don't.

100% true. You always imagine people judging you as you drive up or whatever, but most people don't care at all or even pay attention.

Financially the best way to own a car is to buy one used, say 2-3 years old, and pay cash for it, and drive it for 10 years or until it starts to have major repairs and save up for the next one in the mean time. That's just from a financial aspect. It's hard to do once you're in the cycle of...

Pecan sandies say you're wrong.

I think LA has decided that drafting is overrated. Blame Jared Goff I guess, but

As a quarterback, aside from actually being Tom Brady, being Tom Brady's backup is the surest way to get a superbowl ring.

My cousin briefly worked at Amazon and was in a meeting with Bezos once. She said he has a rule that no one is allowed to have a cell phone in meetings and during the meeting a guy's phone rang and Bezos' bodyguards tackled him to the ground like he had pulled a switchblade or something. Her...

Correcting myself. He lost his job to Blaine Gabbert. Then after he was cut they brought in Brian Hoyer to replace him, so I guess technically the guy Kaep lost his job to, lost his job to Brain Hoyer. The point remains.

Remember when he lost his starting job to Brian Hoyer? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I wonder what would happen if you went in there and moved the all the boxes 6 inches in a random direction.

I'm pretty tempted by the 5A as well. The speakers hardly work on my pixel 3 these days and I can't really get through the day unless i charge at lunch. The Pixel 6 sounds like it's going to be awesome but I'm not interested in spending $1000 on a phone.

This isn't what I'm talking about. Let's see him take a bite of a steak seasoned with these kinds of salt and identity them. Nobody in real life eats plain salt after visually inspecting it.

I'm calling bullshit on the taste of fancy salt. Show me someone picking it out in a blind taste test of food cooked with different colors of salt and maybe I'll buy that it's different. My money is on it just being another way to sell that the food is special and exclusive to justify...

I should say that I already made a $100 down payment.

They don't, but you can get into a lot of places that you couldn't with a lawn mower because the nose sticks out quite a ways and the wheels are big. Much more powerful than a hand held one though and easier on your back. You need the hand held one too, but if you have a lot to do it's very...

I don't know about Florida but here Tordon is restricted use so you need a private applicator's license to buy it. It's good for deep rooted plants though because it goes down in the roots rather than just killing the above-ground vegetation like Roundup or 2, 4-D. I'm not really a fan of...
