There’s also this company that caters to this sort of thing. I’ve been considering moving to this someday, maybe when my current phone dies. I’m the kind of person that needs a genuinely dumbed down phone to limit access since I’d just get the key out of the drawer and ‘cheat’ eventually.

Back in the big union days, this was called “work to rule”, as in you worked exactly to the letter of your job and not an inch more.

It was a union tactic to fight back if the company wasn’t playing fair or wasn’t playing ball at the negotiating table

No argument there. Was just the first video on the list

This is the most efficient way to peel potatoes

Comcast is sad that it can’t fuck us in hidden fees anymore. I feel terrible…just terrible for them.

Meant as a tongue in cheek joke, but sure

In this particular case its intended literally as portrayed in the Spaceballs movie which is what makes this whole thing appalling.

But yeah, theres other use cases for bottled air.

Maybe companies that manufacture and sell oxygen tanks can get in on the game by driving out of town 20 miles and bottling that air out there and marketing it as ‘Great Outdoors’ bottled air

God I never gave that a second thought but they’re right, its just sucking in and blowing farts onto my clean hands

We’re arriving into the future and seeing how its turning out, but it sure seems more bitter than sweet.

Deere has the most massive dealer network in the U.S./Canada. So when looking for a part farmers have an easier time finding them.

I have no doubt that this is caused at least partly by the decline of keeping spare parts on the shelf in a warehouse, something most companies did before everyone shifted to ‘just in time’ inventory management because it saved money up front.

But as it turns out ‘just in time’ doesnt work so great when a farmer needs a part right this moment since it relies on ordering then shipping only whats needed.

It probably made Deere’s dealer network look pretty good by comparison since they (presumably) stock parts that another farm store down the road doesnt carry.>

A canadian startup is already selling canned air.

Folks in places like china are buying it up presumably due to the air pollution they have. This article says they already cleared 300k in sales and are expanding their product lines to offer ‘flavoured air’.

The only platform I support Lindell appearing on is Kimmel’s. Kimmel spent the whole time dunking on him while he sat there and laughed like they were buds

Firefox is the only thing I leave the analytics reports on, at least for things that give you that choice.

I’ve been on the Firefox ride for a decade and a half and it’s been good to me(with the right addons anyway) so i help them out by letting them have that data.

I recently saw the Rambo movies for the first time, and yeah I laughed about how they portrayed the russians.

Really goes to show that perception management is an effective strategy as long as thats all you do.

Have tried that one. They are now collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. She got used to just letting it blare when she lived alone and doesn’t seem willing to change that now that she’s not. I tolerate it because she’s family and like her otherwise.

I don’t know the full history of my isp but this sounds about right, looks like I could pay a little more for a good bump in speed.

I’ll probably just go ahead with that but set up my own router anyway because there’s other benefits besides prioritizing traffic

Huh, so its not so harebrained of an idea under the right circumstances after all. Good to know

Now that a day and the annoyance have passed and many replies have pointed out, there’s clearly better ways to solve this.

One being I should probably pay a bit more for the not hugely throttled connection speed, or ask the ISP to set their router to bridge mode. But probably both.

Shockingly, no. I was floored that I can’t even change this on my own.

With this ISP you have to tell them over the phone, letter by letter, what you want your new password to be. Hell, when setting up service you have you write out your info including password on paper then drop it off at their office. This is what I get for going with the local fiber internet ISP. The alternatives around here are basically cell data powered internet or starlink.
