I have 2 gig down and 500 up and I don't even need that, have it because it's the only unlimited plan from the only isp in the area

i'd do something like 500/100 and be happy if it was offered without a data cap

every person i knew who played online poker would have 6 or 8 games in progress simultaneously, sometimes even more

my old cs prof would have 8 games going with everything tracked in an excel sheet so he could track the odds of each game

he also tracked player history so he had odds on weather or not a given player was likely bluffing, and a hunch of other stuff

My current personal laptop was my work laptop at my old job and they let me keep it when I left, I've since updated to windows 11 and still don't get any of the ad stuff or the dumb pre-installed apps

So having pro + whatever the endpoint guys at my old job did works?

i don't mind the silk soy yogurt, never tried the other kinds.

i wonder if there will be a wave of plant-based cheese companies like there were with plant-based meats a few years ago. like they've pretty much cracked ground beef, so maybe cheese and eggs are next.

there have been reasonable plant based cheeses around for a while

i see a lot of instant pots at the thrift store these days. i'm vaguely tempted to get one, but then i realize i have a perfectly functional rice cooker and i cook everything else on the stove already, so it's not clear what it would do beyond occupy counter space.

I havent used my instant pot since I got a nice rice cooker

beans quinoa and steel cut oats all work in the rice cooker, anything else I used the instant pot for can be done in a dutch oven just as easily

the business model is exactly the same as SA's business model, but compared even to this crumbling hulk of a forum, reddit is comically ineffectual at making money from users

The SA innovation that no one else seems to want to copy is being able to buy av's for other people.
