I put it in one corner of one monitor that I hardly look at so it never appears on my main desktop monitor.

lol I did the exact same thing. That and all the unnecessary crap my work installs that I will never use but can't even uninstall the damn shortcuts they slap on my desktop are all jammed in the corner of a monitor off to the side.

The only memory that I have of my grandfather is from the early 80's. I was very young, and sitting in his lap while he watched a Sabres game. I don't remember the game, but I remember Jeanneret's voice doing the play by play, and it always reminds me of my grandfather now. I am almost 50 now, and I can close my eyes and hear his voice in my head and it just instantly takes me back to my childhood, much happier times in the living room in the evenings watching the games..

This is super melancholy news.

There are a lot of people in this post spouting their opinion on an article they very clearly did not read.

Just one of those fires is 600 square miles in size. I can't even begin to comprehend what that must be like, and I've been in a wildfire situation before

There's a salmon colored room at the back too. My entire house was pepto bismol pink with green rugs when we bought it, and I thought that was bad. This place might actually be worse.

Of course it's on purpose, and it's understandable, too. And if you have voice along with Internet service, spectrum does not allow you to use your own modem for voice. It won't work. You can use your own for the internet portion, but you have to contact them to get each item provisioned separately, and then get a splitter to accommodate both. You and also have to make sure the person your are talking to understand what you are talking about, because a lot either don't, or just don't care to accommodate you and just say no we don't do that. I am currently taking a hiatus from going through this very scenario because I don't have the mental energy right now to fight a tier 1 tech on something that should be so simple.

My almost 50 year old officemate watches this shit all day long. It 100% affects her negatively in a multitude of ways, including her attending span. It's not just the kiddos.

Good luck, I hope it goes well for you!

Would not recommend. That's how you end up with lopsided shoulders and a bad back.

And here I thought it was the depression creating that giant void in me. Wrong yet again.

I don't know what in the world my officemate would do with herself if she couldn't watch TikTok all day. Besides her actual fucking work for a change, that is.

I am so goddamn sick of hearing the same "hehe hehe" and the same fake-sounding scream-laugh that those videos all use for backgrounds/overlays that I am ready to shove an ice pick in my ears. Ban this garbage, please!

I don't know if anyone has murmurings this yet, but if you leave a landline that is through your ISP, and connected to the router, you may not be able to use your own router. Spectrum doors not let you, and despite all the research I did before, I did not find that out until after I purchased my own. You can ask them to split the line and use the old router with the phone, and your new router for internet, but there are potential issues with degradation of service involved, as well as the more mundane problems of running into ISP support who are not interested in understanding what you want, and getting the line actually, physically split.
