  • There are different leagues. Men typically focus on looks first then other things like personality.

    Women typically look for other things first, and looks are second or third or lower depending on the woman.

    A guy on a first date might think the girl is out of his league, based on looks. But the girl might think he’s out of her league due to socioeconomic standing and education/intellect or humor. Even if he’s a bit funny looking or overweight, that can actually add to his charisma if he’s little confident.

    Guys think girls want gym-bod, girls actually want dad-bod. Because girls see gym-bod and think he’s a muscle-bound idiot who spends all his freetime at the gym. Dad-bod is way better because that means he’s not hyperfocused about being away from home during all his free time. Plus snuggles are nicer. Dad-bods don’t mean weaker either, just look at strong-man competitions.

    Obviously this is generalized based on conversations I’ve had with my wife after reading articles or topics that arise. YMMV.




  • Tldr: different countries wanna do 6g differently. Actually a big problem is the big beautiful bill that just passed in the US. Wifi6e/7 6ghz spectrum that was reserved for wifi got approved to get auctioned off. But it’s already a global standard. If us cell cariers buy it up and use it to make faster 6g cell speeds (short distance very high speed). That’s going to fragment standards globally.

    Cell carriers don’t currently use anywhere near all their spectrum they already own.



  • I haven’t seen anyone in the comments try to justify your actions from a chrisitian point of view. I’ll try and likely fail. I’m a former christian.

    There is no “thou shalt not lust after a woman” commandment. There is a “thou shalt not commit adultary” commandment. And there is the admonition from Mathew that if you lust after a woman you’ve already committed adultary in your heart.

    But here’s the rub. How do you define adultary? ANY sex before marriage? Or cheating on a spouse? If you define it as cheating on a spouse, then I can see where Mathew is coming from. A married man lusting after a woman who isn’t his wife HAS emotionally cheated on her already. But by that definition, a single man CAN’T commit adultary with a single woman. There’s no cheating. Prostitute or not, two single consenting adults don’t break that commandment.

    I don’t think adultary means “sex outside of marriage” I think it means “sex outside of marriage”. Big difference.

    I believe extremists like to push the commandments to encompass more than they really do.





  • Bought my house a few years back when pickings were slim. Managed to get one that wasn’t in an HOA and fit the needs of the family, but no fiber internet. I have cable with 1G/40mbps, and that upload speed bothers me. I do a lot of ofsite backups and I work from home. My upload bandwith is almost completely saturated 24/7.

    The local fiber company offers service one street over. I’ve called and begged and pleaded, but they won’t expand. Talked to the city, crickets, talked to competitors, nothing.

    I set up a playwright script that runs every day. It goes to their website, enters my address, gets the message that my address is a part of a future build, clicks on the register button, receives the message that they can’t build here due to reasons. And then texts me to tell me that there has been no change to their website.

    It keeps me from constantly checking and obsessing over something that’ll likely not happen for a good long while. I set up a ssh command to trigger the script in home assistant. So when I’m frustrated I can spam click it half a dozen times.

    I’m waiting to eacalate things. I’m an automation test engineer by trade. I’m proficient in load tests. I’m perfectly capable of breaking their website, but I have a feeling that won’t convince them to expand and finish servicing the neighborhood. I might safely crank up the # of requests, but if they aren’t noticing me now, they probably aren’t going to notice a 10-100x increase.
