They’re used to be; now it’s just puns and jokes for the most part. I loved that about reddit and I hope Lemmy thrives in this way too

They run through boxes dug into the ground and that’s where a connection is made using electrical arcs to weld the two ends of glass together and keep them housed. Then the business end tends to go to a telecom building either directly if it’s a small town or through their current system the copper was on.

It’s been a few years I’m a little sketchy on the details obviously lol but thought I might as well jump in the discussion.

Good catch, that’s exactly what that is. Just to clarify my Job was to take it from the boundary of the property and finish the connection so I’m not super knowledgeable on those main lines but the fibre shot through them to us was about the size of that blue wire. There’s also a type that goes along phone lines instead of underground and that’s a thick black one with Kevlar in it.

I did this for work a few years ago in New Zealand and they run them through neighbourhoods with enough for each house and spare ones for errors and expansion. Particularly in commercial areas because some businesses need multiple lines.

The fibre itself is a piece of glass the size of a strand of hair with infrared shot down it, but with the casing it looks similar to that small blue one poking out there. Can’t remember exactly how many but that’s the size of a single line so you can fit a lot of them.

To be fair, I don’t think blondi knew about all the Jews.

Does it include clicking onto the site through a google search for troubleshooting or something? Or is it registered users? Because I would count as using reddit in that case, even though it was through an Adblock and I didn’t click any further.

All the way up to it’s neck

The one where NightAuthor doesn’t get it

No shit, presumably due to the fact that sharks live in water, where humans don’t tend to live

That wouldn’t work for level 3 for me, it checks to see if it’s about to display the password?
