They’ll merge the apps and charge $40/month.
And cancel a sh*tton of shows and movies.

i actually wouldn't argue that the highest law position in the land should get some more cash. 300K in DC isn't a lot. It's not nothing, but still. Our county judges in Mercer County get like 150+ I think The POTUS gets $400K. I know it's not huge money for a lawyer, but I don't buy that it's not e...

This doesn't do anything. Unfortunately, what it does is feed directly into the Republican/Fox News/far right propaganda that the courts are crooked and the Democrats are stealing elections. And with Biden's approval ratings dropping by the day, it's just going to push more people in other states w...

Those poor SC justices, struggling to get by on almost $300,000 a year. My heart aches for them.

If the pay is so awful, you wouldn't think they'd keeping holding onto those jobs like grim death.

A man who had that much cache was bound to get the ear of many different people even if just to hear a pitch.
Exactly. They all wanted Epstein's money and connections. Were some of them pervs? Absolutely. Were most? Highly, highly doubtable.

Fetterman is a sort of Sherrod Brown type that cuts traditional cultural polarization. He's a candidate that will do well to keep the margins reasonable in the rural PA counties. I didn't read your post before I made mine. It's interested that you mentioned Brown as he's one of my favorite (not tha...

This is really weird with him just coming out and saying "I am not a progressive", but his entire campaign was progressive. I wonder what happened... what changed? I think (speculating) that he's just saying that he isn't 100% married to any political agenda and is willing to stand against the thro...

saw the original Black Christmas for the first time. Only one eye-roll scene which is pretty good for a horror movie

I’d rank it as one of my favorite horror films. It was very well done
A great flick.

The director also made A Christmas Story and Porky's.

What time do you eat dinner?

Usually 5 to 5:30, but closer to 5 most days. Some days as late at 6, but rarely any later.

Another question. Is it normal to have this many Network Adapters?

Also, I don't have NordVPN running or anything downloading when this is happening.

Thanks for the ideas, gentlemen. Nothing is set to go to sleep. I'll check into installing the latest network driver. In the meantime I have Resource Monitor running so I can keep checking on things.

Comcast where I live has done this for years. Every couple hours it just has a hiccup. Went crazy with new modems/routers for a bit. Then asked around the neighborhood and it happens to everyone. Apparently it’s shitty infrastructure where I live. I'd typically be happy to blame Comcast, but the TV...

Responding in this thread. Is it always at specific times/intervals? Can you reproduce it easily?

Any ideas on why my laptop's bandwidth speed keeps dropping to, basically zero? I'll be browsing the internet and, suddenly, the speed is just gone. Sometimes literally 0 mpbs, others it's so slow it's in the kbps range up to 5-10 mbps. It only happens on my laptop. The TV keeps streaming fine so my...

What skullman said. You shouldn't be watching everything in HDR. It's just going to be shoddy, fake HDR created by your cable box. The only time you should be watching in HDR is when the source is HDR, which is rare outside of a few streaming services and 4K discs. Edit: Just saw your new post. That...

Kinda. We're only allowed to discuss some things here.
