Why is this illegal? Who cares?

Sweden and crime are two words I never expected to be in the same sentence together. What the hell Sweden

About god-damned time someone did something about that.

Not great that it had to be California legislating it for the rest of the country but we'd pass out if we held our breath on Congress doing anything useful

Well that's deeply troubling.

Oh shit I didn’t know that. I stand corrected

That’s some cruel irony being put out of business by reality.

I’m glad they’re back with apparently more sass than usual, but Jfc that’s just lol

I would downvote this if I could.

This kind of shit is what's actively making the internet a worse experience.

No human wants to read generic drivel written by a machine, let alone being fooled into clicking on this asshole's website because they gamed the search engine to get their garbage ranked higher on the list

It's okay bro, easy mistake to make. The fat orange guy is a walking onion article no matter what he does.

Frankly it's amazing that The Onion didn't go under in the last decade as reality became stranger than their headlines

I’m shamelessly biased on this topic but I would say nothing but pb is healthier than nothing but ramen. At least that’s what I’m interpreting OP’s opinion on the matter of relatively healthy 😐

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

Yes I do

I’m boring, I like having meals that I don’t have to think about as options to lean on in the morning. Pb and toast is my default for a low effort, no-brain-power-required breakfast.

During my poverty days I ate that as my main source of calories in the day. At most I’d go through a 1lb jar in about 3 days, so like 2lbs a week back then.

These days I’m eating a plant based diet and have far more variety of foods I put in my face. I still go through a 1lb jar in ~1 week, unless I’m eating oatmeal or something else for breakfast for a stretch.

You know that ‘what’s one food you’d bring to a deserted island to eat forever’ question? My answer was always peanut butter. Have to rethink that now.

Oh my god

I did not know that could happen.

Time to find some other foods to replace my #1 go-to 😟

Fuck

Oh that's why no videos would load.

Damn it

Y'all need to salt your water.

It prevents nearly all the sticking and it makes pasta delicious

 

I have a family member living on my property in a separate but adjacent living space, close enough together to share my router's wifi. She likes to let her youtube app endlessly autoplay talking head news videos at full volume due to her hearing loss, and this goes on for a few hours in the mornings. The sound through the walls is annoying but headphones block enough that it's a non-issue as long as I can load something to play through them. The real rub is that I also would like to do something on the laptop during breakfast and her neverending news autoplay eats up all the bandwidth I am paying for when I want to use it. I can't cut off her internet, but I could prioritize my traffic over hers in the morning so that I can load an episode of something and listen through headphones. Yes I know this would be a bit unscrupulous but I have already suggested she not doomscroll via youtube all morning, to no avail.

Setting up a separate ISP account for the adjacent space isnt an option for the time being. The router/modem combo is ISP-issued and locked down by default due to too many service calls from people breaking stuff in settings. As far as I know it is not able to be swapped out to an off-the-shelf due to this being fiber optic internet, plus I'm only so-so in tech knowledge.

Which leads me to the title, can I put the ISP-issued router in a faraday cage, connect my own router via ethernet and be able to control settings via that route? Any reason I shouldn't/couldn't?
