10.10.10.70 here. There was a reason in the distant past that I did this and now it’s stuck that way forever.

My new fibre modem is .254. It was a bitch to get into (whatever the mode’s called that makes it a simple gateway).

I NEVER toss the magnets. There a fat ball of them in my desk drawer right now.

Dude around the corner does that. His never comes down. He even does Mardi Gras!

I was thinking that for a quarter second until I read the second line. :)

For some reason ya got me giggling. Fortunately none of the snakes around here are chasers. They generally run like hell but the cottonmouths will give a loud warning hiss, or three. Damned near stepped on them a few times in the swamp.

Now you know 3.

My VIC-20 and Commodore 64 came with pinout charts. Every single internal and external connector was labelled.

GAFAM

GAFAM is an acronym that refers to five major US technology companies: Google (now Alphabet), Apple, Facebook (now Meta), Amazon, and Microsoft.

Looked it up so no one else had to!

Drink verification can.

Capitalism is the gold standard in economic systems, but we’re living the end game where so much money has funneled up that the rich own us and our legislatures.
