@axodys What do power usage stats for the last 24h say?
@gtwilson Ah, the Park'n'Push express option. That should save on the hospital bill!
@larand The poor competition for Internet service providers, even in densely populated areas, is really amazingly awful. ?

@larand My college apartment was supposed to be eligible for FiOS a year or so after I left. Missed that for a few years of cruddy Internet speeds thereafter. There was nothing like it at the time.

@kdfrawg I came in at 28.8 and 3600. Those were surprisingly usable with Hyperterminal. Snagged my first MP3s with that setup and did some MUDding and email. ?

@larand I avoided cable all those years because of their horrible billing and service practices. My fiber provider is actually still AT&T. Google put the fear of competition in them, so they finally rolled out decent Internet in Atlanta.
I keep meaning to eventually learn to terminate Ethernet cable so I can relocate all the stuff. It's way off at one end of the house now, like your cable drop would be, and signal can get kind of weak at the other end.

@hazardwarning The one on my current backpack could be slid up or down in about a six-inch region to help with that. I'd totally believe it still wouldn't work out though. Bodies come in a lot more shapes than the stuff we try to strap to them.
I'd probably struggle with a waist strap because all my weight is around there. Mostly wear stuff at the hips instead.

@larand I was OK with that speed at $20/mo. When it got hiked to $50, and gigabit finally came available for a bit more, and we started steaming a ton of video because kids, I switched. Now I have a better Internet connection at home than at the office.

@larand Sounds to me like "I'm not asking you to rush into a committed relationship, I'd just like to hang out, y'know, if you're cool with that?"
