No problem, always glad to get someone out of the curse of the monthly modem fees. 😂
It’s a little like those plastic surgery addicts, after your first few face changes you probably keep chasing that next high.
You’re such a charmer, you probably say that to all the users.
It’s because hands are hard to draw and lastly that looks like an average guys body hair, kinda shabby and pubic like. Use public showers enough and you’ll see all the types of body hair. Personally I look like Zangief thanks to steroids.
Thanks, yeah it was bad but over the years it stopped haunting me. Did take a while to get adjusted to reality, since in the coma it was a constant game, making me think I was awake… but, limbless, attacked or dismembered, among other things.
The days without eating weren’t too bad, it was really the removal of all the tubes like you mentioned, I was intubated and had a breathing device inserted that i apparently tried removing twice while coming out.
I kinda tried killing a nurse a few times that I was sure was attempting to kill me lol, thankfully I was so weakened I moved like a tree sloth. The worst was always catheter removal, as they always left it inflated and needed me to be awake when they pulled it out. They did it six times… my genitalia has never forgiven me. It’s even worse when they put it in if you’re alert, it feels like someone is putting a straw in.
Technically dying several for minutes after a stroke due to an aneurysm, worst thing I ever felt. They considered me dead, yet somehow everything restarted and I woke up gasping incapable of speech. I was thrown in an ice bath and they induced a coma. And yes, you can hear the outside world and the worst experience I’ve ever suffered mentally. I was in there for what I assumed was decades of masochist torture for realizing I wasn’t awake, despite my minds initial insistence I was. I still question if the acceptance, would have meant my dying and the torture was the pain of trying to stay alive. I eventually woke up to discover it had only been 10 days, and I was capable of basic speech, but my muscles had decayed to the point simple movement was almost impossible. In under 2 weeks, I relearned English and how to walk again. Since therapy, nothing is even remotely scaring as what your own mind can do to you.
Sad that you’re right. I even questioned saying, decade, but hesitated thinking I shouldn’t be to negative. 🥴
I feel like 2023 will be remembered as the year of enshitification.
China is the Steven Segal of countries, a giant fat pussy.
lol, Thanks, seemed like a nice and easy joke.
Quadratic breathing
This is what I do, works well for me.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly, but these days as much as you avoid it, sometimes it still finds you.
My friend in the bureau told me this, years later I realized how right he was. Thankfully, I escaped early, I still have trouble sleeping, can’t dream anymore and I haven’t cried in decades. But, if it wasn’t for therapy, I would still be defaulting to aggressive behaviors when in fight of flight mode. Sometimes getting punched, ends better than punching back.
Glad to have helped, I just came back since they’re in bed finally and I was going to recommend this: ASUS WiFi 6 Router (RT-AX68U) - Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router, 3x3 Support, Gaming & Streaming, AiMesh Compatible, Included Lifetime Internet Security, Parental Control, MU-MIMO, OFDMA https://a.co/d/6TaeEpu
But you got the TP-Link AX1500 for around $70 that’s not bad. It’s $30-40 less than my recommendation, but I tend to aim for stuff that can last near a decade 😂
Thanks, so far the modems $59 for an Amazon Warehouse modem, which simply means the box is dinged up and they can’t sell it for $120 they usually ask.

Give me a second to find a router, kids are driving me crazy lol. What’s the size of the home, 1,200sqft or 2,400sqft? If it’s smaller around 1,200sqft, that’ll make it easier for me to price hunt. Since the market for everything is sorta high right now, try remembering a router can cost $100 alone. 🙁 So anything cheap is cheap for a reason, so be wary.
Either way, buying the 2 devices separately is smarter and tends to be the way to go in these situations, and can last far longer than a combo device.
I was mostly asking for the provider since they almost always have a small list of acceptable modems. Unless you can copy and paste the ones you know they’ll accept, it’ll be hard to know if they’ll allow it. Plus, buying a combo unit is usually a big mistake, as they tend to be garbage and overpriced. Buying separate sounds like extra steps, but from experience it’s the way to go.
I would advise against a combo unit, what’s your provider, speed tier, and how much are you looking to spend? By the way, if you have a larger home/area you plan on covering, you’ll likely need to spend more.
I plan on making the joke next time I’m in, see how it lands.
Interesting direction, any recommendations? As I feel like I’m starting all over again these days lol.
