Serious bias in that title. The "strongest" bill is still very weak

To be fair to the other side, it's entirely possible (and even common) to have worked in a field for 20 years while learning completely incorrect things about it. Or learning nothing.

People say things like "I've used a computer every day for 20 years, I think I know how it works" and then ask if they should "reboot the hard drive" and then they power cycle the monitor.

no Internet companies are capable of 46gbs.

IDGAF about the pixel phones but i see this kind of argument all over the place and it's infuriating. ISPs don't have to offer 46gbps for wifi6 to be your bottleneck. Imagine having 2gbps internet, talking about how you need to upgrade away from gigabit, and someone goes "well you don't need 10gigabit(or 2.5 or 5), your ISP isn't giving you 10gbps." Sure it isn't, but it's still offering more than my current network can enable

Not to mention, wifi never, ever, ever hits advertised speeds. I have wifi 6 and it is a bottleneck on my 2gbps internet with a single device. Imagine having multiple devices!

And even if your internet wasn't bottlenecked by your wifi, the internet isn't the only thing your phone can communicate with on a network.

To use the full WiFi bandwidth you'd probably also need to connect your phones antennae to the access points antennae via coax.

Nobody's ever going to get 46Gb/s with 7 just like nobody actually gets 1gigabit with AC. Real speeds tend to be vastly lower than rated, and splitting the airwaves with other stations is reason enough to minimize transmit time in any case. A busy area is going to benefit from phones having Wi-Fi 7 even if those phones can't process a 46gbps tcp stream.

It really annoys me when people look at max rates of networking technologies as though they're minimums for that technology to be useful. You don't have to use all 10gigabits of 10gbps for the upgrade from gigabit to be worthwhile, same with all others.

Just like oil and natural gas?

Yes, which both cost many orders of magnitude more than water right now. If water was dollars per gallon like fuel is, we'd be in an extremely bad spot for livability.

Why even pick up? If they aren't a number I recognize, they can leave a message.

Is this a skit from I Think You Should Leave?

Depends massively on where you are. Out in a really rural area, you'll probably get one a year tops. Middle class suburbia, but not a gated community? Probably substantially more, like 1+ a week.

I'm in the suburbs but up a couple of hills so I generally get fewer than 1 a month (that I know of. I have my doorbell disconnected and live with others so it's possible I get more and just don't know about it)

At this point I basically assume that if something doesn't have a deception check attached, friends and foes will both believe it 100%

Got karmic dice on?

"people choosing to shoot other people" or, for a very substantial percentage, people choosing to shoot themselves

I'm very tall and I sincerely disagree with your first claim. The person in front of me reclining brings the back of their chair directly into my knees, I don't need leg room I need knee room. If I then recline it pushes the bottom of my chair forward making it even worse. It is literally the worst of all possible solutions for me.
