Gen X and especially millennials are the first ones to be mostly raised by two working parents. We’ve been fucked since we left the womb.
Boomers: Stay at home moms were the norm.
Before that, huge families and “it takes a village”
Nowadays, it takes three jobs to be able to afford daycare.
Dude I just bought 4 refurbished Linksys MX4200 (tri-band) access points for $80 (total), put on OpenWRT, and built a mesh system. I’m incredibly happy with the result, especially for the price. And, I’ve got wireless bridges all through the house so I can keep some things off the forwarding channels and only in the back haul.
It’s not wired, but it’s close enough and doesn’t require me drilling through all my walls running cable or carving out a space in the house for all of it to coalesce.
Granted, I’m in an area with not a lot of wireless interference…I work in enterprise networking and I’ve had a lot of issues with remote workers on wireless networks that weren’t capable of handling the volume of data that the users were uploading. Sometimes just because there’s too much interference…but a lot of the time it’s because of misconfiguration (either out of ignorance or because the good features, like multicast-to-unicast, are missing), or printer drivers that spam the wireless with multicast whenever the printer is offline (which I’ve seen a surprising amount of times).
If you’re on wireless…multicast is bad, mmmkay? Only “one” device can talk at a time on wireless (barring MIMO shenanigans), and when it’s multicast traffic…it has to get sent at the lowest compatible rates. A lot of routers set this to 6Mbps or even 1Mbps by default. So your nice fancy “1200Mbps” wireless has to slow down a crawl every time your Roku wants to tell Alexa that it’s there. Which is surprisingly often. Scale up for all the internet-of-crap stuff people have and it’s a miracle their wireless works at all.
Oh and I’ve found people with extenders they don’t know about. Ring Chime? Apparently it functions as an 802.11n (only) extender. Huge bottleneck right there. And then it can only be as good as the signal it gets from the next access point.
Yep. For-profit private insurance is just class eugenics on a long timeline.
America isn’t as racist as it once was, but it has become a de facto caste system.
So are the Turtles.
In fact, the trench coat is the most clothes they usually wear. Just running around with their cloaca flapping in the breeze.
Fun fact…did you know normal (as in, non-human sized mutant) turtle penises can be as large as 30cm? Could you imagine four nude, teenage, human-sized turtles running around Manhattan with a footlong dick flailing around?
Probably much larger since the rest of their bodies scale up, and, as teenagers, they are at the peak of their virility.
Patrick Stump (of Fallout Boy, the band that sang “the ribbon on her wrist says do not open before Christmas”) sings the theme song to “Spidey and his Amazing Friends” and “Hot Wheels: Let’s race”. And both those songs kick ass.
And I must say that the Panic! and Weezer covers on the Frozen 2 OST also kick ass.

I think Tupac and Biggie would be friends today. Probably even do a collab album. And then beat the shit out of puff daddy.
As an ignorant American, does Europe even have billboards like America does?
For context…Buc-ee’s takes pride in their exceptionally clean restrooms. Also idk if gross rest stop/truck stop restrooms are as much of a trope over there.
There is? I just searched Google maps…I live in MA and it showed a response on Cape but it was actually a “Bucky’s”. It showed one in New Jersey but that was a podunk little place named Delta Gas.
Northernest ones I saw were in Kentucky. There were closer ones to Europe…probably Florence SC, Pelham NC, or Daytona FL.
I couldn’t imagine a Buc-ee’s in Europe.
In Texas there are signs for “Next Buc-ee’s 108 miles”. Do that in parts of Europe and you have to cross multiple international borders…and none of them will know wtf a mile is.
I don’t like to call it boomer humor. That shit was funny in the 90s. For better or worse, it wasn’t the jokes that changed, it was our reaction to it.
Thinking specifically of things like “Miss Swan”, “The ambiguously gay duo”, and “Pat”. Although I think only one of those was MAD. Still, we (as in the cisfolk, at least) thought it was funny enough at the time for it to keep getting aired.
It’s boomer humor now because our sense of humor matured and adapted…and theirs didn’t.
I’m sure the “executive leadership” and possibly even c-suite is bigger than these 5 people. There are definitely more employees. These are just the top 5.
Dude sometimes those scales are stupid sensitive and even straight up busted.
My grocery store keeps empty paper bags in a pile on the scale so they are part of the tare weight. Doesn’t matter. I’ve taken a bag off the pile, opened it, and placed it back on the scale…and needed to get an employee to re-tare it so I could start scanning. This was before even scanning.
My grocery store also has cameras on top, too, watching you from above. At each register. And if they think that you put something in the bag without scanning it, it’ll call over an attendant. To review the tape with you, like getting the refs to review a play.
Plus having kids that can’t stand still. Bound to touch the scale at some point. And they love to do self checkout.
BJs has it right…they are a wholesale club like Costco. I think they are regional. They have scales but I don’t think they even use them. In fact, I don’t even have to unload my cart. I try to load my cart so barcodes are all facing up (as much as I can) so I just rapid fire zap-zap-zap. It’s very satisfying.
I believe the soda is our future.
Drink it well, and let it hydrate ya.
Swallow all the sugar that it has inside
Then swallow your sense of pride
To make it easier
To let the children’s laughter
Remind you it goes to your thighs.
The diocese investigated itself and found nothing wrong.
They look like they are checking out those Syrian girls.
Legit those pockets look like they could hold a small tablet, or at least a kindle.
If you have to wait until payday to buy a discounted graphics card…yeah, I’d say so.
You have the same worldview and understanding of human sexuality of an 8 year old.
Either your ridiculously naive or just straight up an idiot. Possibly both.
Jesus fucking Christ. I’ve never read anything so dumb on the internet. And I saw Trump get elected. Twice.
No one mournes the wicked.
