According to my father, who lives within earshot of a pickleball court, the game is terrible for the mental health of innocence bystanders... Due to the noise made by the oversized ping pong paddles.

Well I don't know much about bridge and after watching Chico Marx play for a while on the 1950s televised bridge tournament I'm even more confused. Good articles though i wish you luck finding that partner.

I'm in that same boat, its going to be a pain having to ask to refill the thimble of water you're given.

I can imagine how funny the Arby's experience must have been. Those are moments you can only look back on and chukle about.

That's really neat, I never knew they came in a fireless version. Fireless Locomotive

That sounds a little more than mildly infuriating. Hope you and your puppy start feeling better soon.

How else do you figure out what the button does?

You can donate the time to science:

I've been doing this for severl years without any issues. Currently chugging along in a docker instance on my headless linux server, and I've found it runs well on most any OS.

I heard about that one, very interesting guy. I'm not sure if I could get away with something like that in Texas. The state likes to say its pro business and free, but reality says otherwise.

We're about to get out of here permanently anyway and move west towards even less internet access in an even more rural area. I may have to start looking into IPoAC next!

If you can get it, I hear starlink ok. When looking into it there was a waitlist/downpayment that was many months out. I also don't trust Musk not to destroy starlink.

We tried HughesNet and it was so bad I happily paid the early termination fee to get rid of their trash.

The DSL connection was a big improvement, even better than a cellular hot spot in the area.

"Rural" Texas (about an hour from a big city) and the only thing we have available is ADSL at 10/1 mbps on a good day. I'm paying $65 and as long as we don't stram 2 things at once it works!
