The latest few reports have linked even mild drinking to increased cancer risks.

Yeah, IDK about that. Nobody in Ohio cares about NYC’s layout anyways.
Well those are all historically guys names AFAIK.
Can’t comment on the DOCSIS, I don’t know enough about it to not be making stuff up.
Regarding WiFi though… The simple answer is if you’re not having trouble accessing the WiFi in the places you use the WiFi and you’re getting the full speed that you’re paying for, there’s not a ton of a reason to upgrade the router.
The exception to this is that most routers only get a few years of security updates like most phones… That can potentially leave your network more vulnerable as the router might not properly block unsolicited traffic from making it to your devices. There’s a solid argument that you should just have your devices secured via their own firewalls though.
The Google routers are nice for the average Joe because they just kind of work and keep themselves updated (and Google tends to keep the hardware they sell under the Nest name receiving security updates a VERY long time compared to the competition). Netgear has been my go to for years but their update mechanism is … fairly manual in my experience.
I’ve since moved to having a pfSense box for the firewall and routing side of things and using my old negate router in access point mode (I’m much less concerned about this setup).
I’ll add that I don’t recommend WiFi for gaming… And that most people have more download speed than they really “need.” Files really haven’t gone up in size much (sure games have) but evening else… meh (?). Video streaming is more popular but unless you’ve got a lot of people in your home or you stream at 4k, it’s really not going to be that noticable between 30Mbps and 1Gbps. So like, by all means if you don’t want to spend money, don’t… you’re probably fine.
Honestly it just feels like so much stuff is car hostile at this point… Like I went to leave a store the other day and I couldn’t clearly see oncoming traffic because the shrubs were too high and right next to the road.
I wish I could say that was a really uncommon experience.
Honestly a huge portion of the problem is asshole drivers that just don’t turn off their brights and their fog lights or that tailgate the vehicle right in front of them while their headlights are mirror level.
I’ve seen brand new trucks with LEDs that were so easy on my eyes then I’ve seen the exact same model of truck via rearview mirror only after I passed it because the lights were beyond blinding.
They need to enforce maximum luminosity laws with an iron first; it’s ridiculous that people get away with this stuff.
Deist is IIRC some number of gods probably existed and set the world into motion but do not play a role in day to day life.
The bigger issue is monetization. YouTube is popular in no small part because creators are trying to make money.
Yeah this is either projection because they didn’t see the mainstream media doing it or an attempt to drive a wedge and create controversy where there shouldn’t be any.
I didn’t feel particularly safer in Europe… About the same… Watch your wallet, don’t go down dark alleys alone, etc.
Some things definitely felt more grandiose, but on average things felt like they could be in an American city if not for their vintage.
Public transportation was definitely the biggest difference I observed, trains in Germany were an all but fantastic experience.
I was surprised how heavy German food was and how much smoking folks in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria do. It seemed elevated compared to the average US city.
Have you ever seen a vacuum chamber? Science does suck … and it’s fucking awesome at it. 🥁
Basically TikTok has been proven to serve the Chinese Communist Party (via influence over what users see and data collection). Additionally, the Atlantic article goes on to explain how the United States has a long history of protecting its citizens from foreign influence campaigns going back to the early radio days (and trying to ban TikTok is not a divergence from the status quo or an attack of free speech, rather the continuing of policies that have largely worked and served the public good).
Here’s the big difference. Automated assembly lines do a job better than the average human can. LLMs do the job consistently worse than the average human would.
EILIF: TikTok is like that “friend” that says they’re your buddy, but you have a lot of reasons to doubt they actually have your best interest at heart.
From my notes:
It’s not a new problem; I remember back in 2016 looking up one MAGA supporter on Twitter that seemed EXTREMELY enthusiastic via reverse image search.
I ended up finding a girl in Brazil that had presumably never set foot in “Nebraska” where this MAGA supporter was allegedly “born and raised.”
It also tends to skew older from what I’ve seen. Might be great for OP, not so great for someone in their twenties or early thirties.

This headline seems way weaker than necessary BBC.
Actually, I guess that’s not the headline, it’s just the post title.
