Nah, they mailed all their customers, informing everyone that once they finished upgrading their infrastructure, that they would triple every customers’ internet speed for no extra charge.

Then, as everyone waited in hope, within like 6 months they renamed to /Sparklight, and that 100Mbps > 300Mbps upgrade they promised disappeared like a fart in the wind, plus /Sparklight ended up eventually increasing customer bills anyways, without any performance increase.

Honestly I think that’s exactly why they renamed, just because they wanted to back out of that promise, but didn’t actually have the fine print to legally back out.

Cable One renamed themselves to /Sparklight, basically to get out of the Cable One promise that they were supposed to triple everyone’s internet speed for no extra charge once they upgraded all their lines and equipment.

When companies rename themselves, they’re basically legally relieved of any prior promises, obligations, or class action lawsuits made/filed under the old company name.

Companies that change their names usually do so to avoid class action lawsuits and/or to get out of obligations they previously made with their customers.

Edit: I probably should have posted that as a top level comment, but oh well, I’m leaving it here.

So you’re okay with eating toddlers, gotcha 👍

I’m not sure exactly, but I’d guess about 2x magnification, and text is totally legible and easier to read.

The focal point distance for sunburning/fire is about 7cm.

The lens part itself is 6cm x 5cm.

Yes I did some measuring…

I almost skipped past this post, but something cheap I carry in my wallet every day is a credit card sized Fresnel magnifying lens, same size and thickness of a credit card. Suprisingly durable, and can even start fires in good sunlight.

Analog television. Sure it may have been a bit grainy and staticy when the signal was weak, but the video wouldn’t get all blocky and outright freeze up, you could keep watching your show and not miss anything.

Good thing for sure!

If it were me and the lady behind me turned it down like that, I’d probably just say something like…

“Well I was blessed today, so I figured I’d pass a bit along. If you’re sure you don’t need it yourself, then perhaps go buy a meal for a homeless person or buy a kid a toy for Christmas. Pass it forward.”

No evil here, you did a good thing 👍

I dunno, exploding golf ball maybe?

Disclaimer: Nope, I’m not gonna do that, nor am I making any serious suggestions.

But is that Wast or Eest of the Missipissi River?

Fine choice my friend, I’d leave it too haha! 😂

Ah yes, our great 51st state, Folorado!

If the compressed files are of the same/similar format, more compression is possible as the algorithm can detect more related patterns to compress.

But if you toss in a variety of file formats, compression will tend to suffer more.

Sometimes, the easiest way is just to try and see, different formats lend themselves to better or worse compression.

The files that tend to be worst at compression are the ones that are already compressed themselves.

NO HABLA JIBBERISH!

Haha, have a good day mah dude 👍

I don’t know any other way to say that, perhaps read over my quote a few times and think about it a bit… 🤷

💩🍍

Wait wait…

You folks don’t have a kicker? Well how do you start the baby then?

When it comes to word salads, I tent to tell everyone the same thing…

“I have the right to wipe my ass with a pinecone, but that doesn’t mean its the right thing to do.”

So if the woman has to yeet the baby to execute the birthing process, why is there no goal post?

Ok, I’m still trying to understand here…

According to a number of other comments, execute basically means to complete a process. So, isn’t the pancake the executed final product? Isn’t the baby?.. 🤔

English is so fucking confusing 🤷

So to execute a program is to start as execute a human is to…? 🤔
