But still. For them to be large enough to be found means thats still a lot of people.

It is extremely expensive and arduous to bury lines that have been aerial for decades. The cost to bury existing lines is exponentially greater than the cost to keep fixing them as needed for decades. New lines are sometimes buried depending on whether it’s an upgrade to existing infrastructure, power going to a new neighborhood, etc.

Do yourself a favor and look into exactly what it would take just to get approval from the city, county, etc and right of way from the various owners of land where you want to bury them. Not to mention the hell that would cause for traffic when you have to shut down roads to go under them or worst case tear them up and replace them.

I am not giving the utility companies a pass here but it’s not as easy as some people seem to think it is.

Luxury isn’t about price point. And last I checked, you couldn’t get a new tesla for 40k.

Saying that tesla is luxury is like saying that McDonald’s is fine dining.

Do yourself a favor and look up the comparable pricing for the ioniqs versus tesla. Tesla has always been overpriced (from factory) for what it offered.

One thing.

Tesla has never been known for luxury at all. I’d bet my ioniq phev was more luxurious and my 5 most definitely is.

I think that’s the point and the inspiration for the name.

We should stop voting for people who promise to dismantle said services. We also really need to move towards a basic income setup instead of having all of the hoops and paperwork for people to prove they are eligible for whatever it is. In the USA people going on disability are always denied even if they are a paraplegic. We would spend so much less money and other resources if we just made it available to everyone with no proof of eligibility needed.

Get over yourself. This isn’t about you, I said nothing to attack you. I said that you probably didn’t know how to find food that wasn’t from the usual source which is not an insult, it’s a statement of fact, I didn’t know about csas until my wife taught me about them.

Would you consider it an insult if I I said you probably don’t know much if anything about quantum mechanics? Would I be attacking you by saying that it’s sunny out? If so, you might want to talk to someone.

I’m going to add you to my block list because I don’t have time for people with a combo of comprehension issues and a persecution complex.

True but you aren’t going to find it on the store shelf and the average person isn’t going to know where to buy it. You lot at completely missing my point. I’m not surprised because most people can’t handle more than one thought at a time.

I got the point. I was making my own and you seem to be missing it, you are also I bet in the large group of people who don’t know how to buy food that isn’t from a grocery store or local butcher.

That’s not how that works. It’s illegal to sell unpasteurized milk, the only way to get it is to either know someone willing to risk it or to have your own cows, goats, etc.

Most of the population (including the redneck trumpers) have no clue where to get meat, dairy, produce that isn’t from the grocery store or dollar general. I was in that group until I moved to what I call country’ish and met my wife who had been using csas for decades.

Where are you getting 40% of the population not only drinks but has easy access to nonpasteurized milk? We get stuff from local farms occasionally and all we can get is non homogenized, it’s most definitely still pasteurized. And even then its still way way better than the store bought stuff.

They used to have a decently priced unlimited ticket that you could use to see the country during summer break. Get on/off the train whenever/wherever you want.

If you want to get technical, my town (really a village) has zero free wifi networks. It’s the larger city to my south that has all of the restaurants, hotels, retail, etc with free wifi.

Where did I say anything about a contract? I spend $1800/year for 4 lines, 3 personal and 1 work line. In the USA at least, prepaid beats postpaid/contract every day of the year. Every time I price moving all 4 lines over to postpaid to get easier access to esims, a little leeway on payment, etc, I always end up staying with prepaid.

OP didn’t clarify personal versus business. I’m aware of how much businesses get ripped off, I’ve looked into using the short codes for promoting my own business and shit is not cheap.

None of that is actually true as a contrast.

There are tons of free wifi networks from hotels to restaurants, etc.

None of what you are saying makes any sense.

Where are you that you’re paying anything extra for sms? They used to be expensive because they could charge that much, now that are included in even the cheapest prepaid plans. If you are paying per message, that’s a you problem and you need to find another wireless provider.

Those exist. Use dns based adblockers. You can pick from a variety of services already out there or run your own with pihole.

Yes, this is a big fucking deal.

More retransmissions than overhead. This is big concern when downloading movies and TV shows because there are attempts to poison the DLs for people (or there was when torrent was first created as a protocol).
