One of the most satisfying and effective laws was the one where they forced all email ads to have an unsubscribe button at the bottom (I feel like that's the result of a law and not just good de facto corporate policy) I love to unsubscribe from emails

I don't think the unsubscribe button does anything except confirm your email address is still valid (to put on 100 other lists that whatever spammer is affiliated with).

Ours was off like 8 hours yesterday, came in long enough to cook dinner and then out for 13ish overnight. Just came back on. I don't trust it sticking. I've at least had time to make hot tea and read the forums.

If the organization is a legit business that is following CAN-SPAM rules "unsubscribing" will work.

If it's some scummy spam company selling dick pills or whatever and you click that "unsubscribe" button congratulations you now will get even more spam as they will add your email address to a list of known active emails and sell it to a bunch of other scrummy spammers.

Bottom line, feel free to use the unsubscribe from legit companies that you know, but anything you should just mark spam.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Maybe I asked this once before, but does anyone have a recommendation on wifi routers? I get 100/10 from my ISP, so I don't need anything capable of doing like a gig or something. My current one works ok, but ports on the router are starting to go bad if I want to hardwire in, and it seems like every other day I have to reset it. Time to get a new one before it totally craps out.

The people who deserve to suffer some small inconveniences never do, while...yeah other people get a little more than an inconvenience.

Speaking of which, just got power back from an apparently planned rolling blackout which they did decide to do eventually. Was worried they wouldn't get things back on, but it was only an hour longer than they originally claimed it would be.

e: that came off snarkier than I meant it to, I feel pretty lucky all in all.

I bought the TP-Link Archer C4000 from Costco and that thing blasts out our signal all over the house. I can even get our wifi signal at my sister's house across the street around 50 yards away.

If we're allowed to ignore 4th movies the best trilogy is Toy Story followed closely by Indiana Jones.

I had a similar experience. I got to the beginning of the second season and was just so disinterested and bored. I can see why some people would like it. But man, there are a lot of things that are just boring about it.

My wife originally picked a midwifery to give birth.

The place decided to suddenly close down after 20 years leaving a bunch of pregnant women hanging.

So now we’re trying to find an OB and no one will take her because she’s too pregnant for a transfer.

pretty cool situation :coolfish:

I was kinda blown away by how much I liked the first two. Still have to watch the third one. I only recently watched them by almost accident so agreed with you here and the above poster who said they are criminally underrated.

Man the mental state of that guy is right on his face as he realizes everyone hates him. Dudes got insane privilege if he’s confident enough to go around shoving/physically assaulting a room full of fit people. Yikes.

The silver lining is that employee showed hes got ninja patience

They want you to lose their poo poo. The thing that these little petty tyrants hate the most is not being taken seriously. The most devastating thing the worker could have said to that guy is "there now do you feel better" in a condescending tone
