No full time host announced yet, but Ken Jennings will temporarily take over for Alex Trebek on Jeopardy!.

I am... actually okay with this.

I called it. He’s a dork with no personality.

I could be completely wrong about it and hopefully i'm not but he was looking to take a break from this place for a while due to political discussions and other similar things that went on here.

This is correct. I havent spoken to him, but i know he was tired of the constant COVID/Political talk dominating this place - and lets face it, thats all there realy is these days, but not by choice - so it was probably a good time to step away. I'm fairly confident he's ok, just taking a break.

Hey guys.

Just have some things that are kinda dominating my thoughts/attention and making it nearly impossible to think about anything else right now. It has nothing to do with this board, politics, or anything like that. My mind is just miles away.

Hope everyone’s doing well. Stay safe guys.

Is this because i told you you'd have to do more chores if you wanted a ps5?

Joking aside, Hope everything works out well for you and you can get yourself into a good headspace soon.

Comcast Prepares to Screw Over Millions With Data Caps in 2021

Next year, Comcast will start charging Xfinity customers in northeastern US states overage fees for exceeding their monthly data cap. As The Verge reports, customers not on an unlimited plan who exceed 1.2 TB of data in a month will have to pay $10 for every 50 GB of data they go over, topping out at $100. To put that into context, streaming HD video over uses about 3 GB per hour. Cloud gaming over something like Stadia uses about 10 GB of data every hour at 1080p. So if you’re not watching your data usage carefully, you could end up with a higher than normal monthly bill.

The change affects Xfintiy customers in Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Vermont, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia, as well as parts of North Carolina and Ohio.

This is why Net Neutrality was a big deal. I'm at 4.8 TB of transfer this month and I can't imagine it getting any better. It's a good thing we can just switch to all of those other great ISPs available in our areas.

Oh. Right. It's just DSL and many places still don't have a single broadband coverage option that companies like AT&T committed to in order to land government contracts.

With the new president, expect Net Neutrality to come back. It sounds like Comcast is trying to get their fill before it's taken away.

Had an arts and crafts afternoon wrapping presents.

I burned so much glue to mix with crayons to make the wax seals that I think I might pass out at any minute. Even with all the vents and windows open. Dont sniff glue kids.

Over the top I know. But dont have much else to do...

 

[Beef Invictus]

I’ll pass

I feel like melting down a candle is cheaper, easier, and safer

It feels like the Italian mob in Philly gets blasted by the law way more often than every mob everywhere else.

Decent quality crayons and gluegun sticks at a 2:1 ratio weight wise make maybe better sealing wax than actual sealing wax you can buy I think!

Also so cheap (like one crayon and 2 glue sticks will make you enough for ~8-9 seals), and can make it in large enough quantities that you can dip stuff like bottles and make them sealed and fancy ahaha.

Plus can make any colour, and also mix stuff like glitter in to make it really interesting for 5 year olds and adults who are tacky.

I only researched how to do it because I wanted to seal something in a yellow colour that I could not find.


But yeh, now my house smells like a meth lab.

Glitter? f*** using that shit or allowing anyone near you use it.

We can thank Dave Schratwieser for that.

Haha. My little sister loves the stuff.

A few years ago I was home for a weekend and then on Monday went to work for a meeting at 9am... after the meeting I went to the bathroom and realised that there was a distinct amount of glitter on my face haha.

Is this from the Bieber thing or something else?
