That sucks.

If the college won’t fix their infrastructure, path of least resistance is to get out of the dorms at the first available chance. Likely next semester or next year.

As the other commenter said, he needs to hook up to the ethernet jack in his room. The Wifi generally sucks in dorms, too crowded.

This isn’t a problem on Lemmy. You can see the exact up and downvote counts.

I appreciate this quite a bit, as a comment that has 200 up votes, 200 down votes is a much more interesting comment than one with 1 up, 1 down. The former is a hotly debated comment, and the latter just means the conversation partner downvoted their other half. These are both ‘zero votes’.

Yeah, marriage at 16 with parental consent is pretty commonly allowed throughout the world.

Going to add one more: Steam.

Steam has a built-in voice chat and chat channels for your friends.

I’m not sure about the hood height part, but CAFE (US fuel economy standards) loosen the MPG requirements as vehicles get larger. The curve is poorly made and it is simply easier to increase the size of the vehicle and hit the looser fuel economy requirements. The regulation with the goal to increase fuel economy…encourages larger vehicles with worse fuel economy.

Good luck with that!

We are already seeing some take their foot off the gas. They need to slam on the brakes and get spend to manageable levels.

Link contains evidence and other sources. You are free to ignore them if you want.

It’s also turned out to not be true.

Thank you, I appreciate the suggestions! I’ll look more into a few of those. Swapped over to Linux about a year ago and the Microsoft toolchain no longer fully exists (like Visual Studio). It’s to be expected, but, mostly just means I need to find other tool chains.

What is a good language to code in for Linux if one is used to C#? I didn’t realize this limitation and am considering writing some basic Linux tools for myself.

There are two standards as it allows one to make a crossover cable. (Do B on one side and A on the other)

I also find crossover cables completely useless and refuse to own one less it gets mixed into the pile. Everyone has a router/switch, which negates the need completely.

Am I the only one to call them ‘light orange’ instead of ‘orange-stripe’? I know they aren’t that color, yet whenever I’m crimping a cable and have to repeat the colors to get them in order…

The salt caverns are a consumable storage medium. You pump in water to remove the oil, which damages the salt caverns.

The more you pump oil in and out, the more the salt caverns degrade.

The human body is pretty fucking great.

• One of the longest lived animals
• Able to eat a wide variety of things that are toxic to other animals (we often seek out foods that kill other animals)
• Top tier endurance
• The smartest animal
• Hands enable even greater use of said smarts
• Ability to throw accurately (even among primates ours is top-tier; and it is non-existent outside primates)

Some people put ice in every drink, even if it is already cold. Keeps it cold longer.

Though, lots of people have the attitude that everything needs to do everything with zero consideration for negatives. ‘I might need ice’, therefore, they buy the one with the ice maker.

Ice makers are actively bad. They love to break and they take up a ton of space. Last fridge we bought, we vetoed any with one.

Stop connecting appliances to the internet. You don’t need the internet to wash your clothes, cool your food, etc.

Practical effects are more informative than theoretical readings. Study the countries that implemented it and how things ran. That gives the most practical and unbiased reality.

With how strong AA and Indy game studios are, I’m not worried. Good riddance to the AAA studios sucking up oxygen.
