You aren’t wrong in the bigger picture, but the fact that I can change to the highest resolution and I get essentially 0 buffer time and it just automatically starts playing at the higher resolution tells me that the bandwidth is there between my device and whatever server I end up connected to that is hosting the data. Otherwise I would likely have a slight delay of a few seconds for it to buffer as it pulls down the data.
And even if you select high resolution preferred in settings, they will absolutely serve that shit at a low resolution forcing you to manually select the resolution every damn time.
Yes YouTube my connection is absolutely fast enough to watch at the max resolution you can serve, don’t pretend it’s my connection to cover for your intentional bumping down in resolution.
That is really shady. Unless you live in a rent controlled apartment I’d be curious if they even have legal recourse if you used another provider unless there was damage to the apartment.
You could probably force the complex to let you use whatever provider you wanted as long as the infrastructure (conduits in the ground etc) is there and it probably is. But I would likely be a very annoying fight.
More than likely they are getting a kickback from the ISP to inform users that they are the only option.
We have a (kind of) similar situation here. Our complex has these devices installed by the local electric company that turns our water heater on and off on some randomized schedule that is claimed to be based off of our usage and the local time. We were never told about this device and it’s not in our contract. On top of that, the property management group gets a kickback for every one that is installed in a unit.
We don’t have the most stable schedules (random schedules, night shift, day shift, etc) so of course the device couldn’t figure it’s shit out and was just shutting our water heater off at different times. I had to call the power company to have them disable it.
There has been a history of corporate things like this happening where providers do shady shit, kinda like gangs having their own territory and “agreements” not to sell dope in each other’s area to keep their profits stable and not mess with each other or whatever other reasoning it may be.
My point is, there is more than likely some shady business practices going on between the ISPs and the property management.
Why does your apartment management have a say in it?
If there are other providers in the area then you likely already have lines running to your place and shouldn’t need their sign off on it.
Similar SF story, down at Fisherman’s Wharf, during COVID, two people on the sidewalk just getting it on lol.
Quick search because I’m too lazy to find the original article I read.
This has been known since the day after (likely the day of) the shooting.
I believe they are talking about the bus from ATL to NYC.
I mean, Greyhound lists it as something that they use to let you on the bus without a ticket.

It’s the second and third entry under the “Your Tickets” section.
Even IF they didn’t ask for it and it wasn’t needed, he could used the same name to get a bus ticket that his fake ID showed.
Realistically not having a physical ticket is one less thing to worry about losing that could have fingerprints on it.
He was supposedly using a fake ID, so they trace the fake ID back to the bus tickets…
Doesn’t mean they would know who he was.
If it’s based off of Debian 12 then it’s the old version of SteamOS.
Paulette, a practising physical therapist with over 20 years of experience, is now left to console their two sons. The family resides in a £1.2 million ($1.5 million) home in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Describing her husband as a loving father and dedicated professional, she said, “Brian was a good man who cared deeply about his work and our family.”
Let’s go cry in our million dollar home for our husband/father who helped millions of people get denied coverage and potentially caused the deaths of many.
Nobody cares except the rich, I hope they are all having nightmares and living in fear. The world is better off with less CEOs and investors that do nothing but tactically find ways to extract money from the poor and middle class (what semblance of it there is left) people.
Well I hope Ms Allen can untwist her knickers and realize what she is asking is stupid as fuck and not harmful to animals in any capacity.
Not that I agree with PETA anyway but this does not help animals in the slightest. It’s a waste of funds that could be better spent elsewhere to actually benefit animals.
This is exactly what happens when the system is based on lowest bid contracts.
I was unaware that there are were two from that time period.
There’s another one in Okinawa which is now known as Peace Prayer (or Memorial) Park.

I figured it out.
I was already headed the right direction by using something like this…
<button text=“Hold Enter” ontap=“enterhold” ondoubletap=“enterrelease” />
But for whatever reason it seems to ignore a double tap to release it, maybe I’m just too slow on tapping lol. I changed it to onhold=“enterrelease” and it works like intended.
Coulda just flew to Oregon for that one lol. You can catch them up on haystack rock.
I bet it was still an awesome experience you had none the less.
Panay monitor lizard.
My buddy was trapping monitor lizards for us to eat and we caught one of those. He recognized it and told me that they were endangered.
We did NOT eat it. It went back into the forest, unharmed.
You make the comment “the poor should be taken care of through taxation”. How do you feel about churches being taxed?
I am not religious at all, but I do know a pastor who is very kind, and have talked with him quite a bit. While he believes in God and the Bible etc, he is also respectful and understanding of the times. He believes in abortion, and takes criticism in stride without trying to make stuff up when responding. If he doesn’t know, he will admit as much.
I called out his entire church group in front of him for being hypocrites (I had/have some minimal involvement with them due to my relationship) when they openly criticized another religion and started trash talking them because an extremist did a suicide bombing. They immediately started trying to backpedal and make excuses for what they were saying. There were several other very shitty things a few of them did over a period of several months so I started pointing everything out. They all got silent and the pastor stepped in to appreciate in a manner of words what I said, and told them that kind of response to an event no matter how bad it was, was inappropriate and not representative of an entire group of people.
Ok, so sorry for the back story but there is a reason. Pretty much every church I have been a part of (I grew up in the Bible belt and had religion shoved down my throat growing up) I have seen nothing but hypocrites. One single pastor that I have met, in my entire life, I feel would not complain if churches started getting taxed.
So what is your take on churches getting taxed?
