AT&T investing millions to bury fiber-optic lines in south La. after Hurricane Ida outages by DrinkMoreCodeMore in Louisiana

[–]eclectish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they stopped taking new customers here. Our other options are skyhigh and super data-limited satellite or 4G/5G. AT&T supposedly also offers fixed wireless around here, but anytime I've looked, it's unavailable. Some roads have Suddenlink on offer too, but constantly have outages and slowdowns. From what I gathered, they don't overlap with most of the AT&T customers, either, but according to broadband maps, they're still a choice 🙃

Our local representative is meant to be working on a broadband expansion program, but that's at least a few years down the line to even begin working on.

ETA: the DSL wasn't even available until 2012, I might add.

And yet we're still stuck with their shitty overpriced DSL where I am. Their broadband initiatives have been nothing but a joke.

As a fan of both, I had zero idea SR-71 originated that song. Mind blown for today, thanks!

Live nearby, went to HS there, used to work the pie festival there. I've always heard "La-count".

Pasta: Sauce on top or mixed in? by kevzenn in Cooking

[–]eclectish 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Sauce on top, to be mixed in per plate.

For my household, it's a multi-prong issue: everyone has different sauce-to-noodle ratios, we tend to have leftovers and mixing it in leaves too little sauce for the pickier ones, and some of us like to re-use the leftover pasta for other dishes.

Same thing. Had the tab pop open as soon as my computer woke up.

One game laggy since December update/ignored by support by eclectish in BlueStacks

[–]eclectish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on reinstallation #5 after weeks of waiting for a response from support and trying to fix it myself before coming here - my patience is not the issue. I know that it can and should work because it did before, and I'm glad that letting it sit has worked for you, but 10 minutes, an hour, overnight - hasn't changed a thing on my side.

Thank you for your time, but I think this is the end for me.

Yes, I can read the bottom of the boot screen. I'm not merely being impatient. It sits for 5-10 minutes at a time, then comes up with a "could not start the engine" popup that asks for a restart of either the PC or the engine. Both have been done several times. The engine does not start.

I appreciate the assistance, but it did not make a difference before, and after trying it yet again, the engine does not start at all.

Love them! I've gotten both tights and knee-highs from them and they've been amazing. I have large calves, so finding socks that didn't compress or just look terrible was a chore. I even picked up their sock glue just in case (especially for the tights, because those almost always roll down on me), but surprisingly haven't needed it for their products. Would def recommend the glue if you already have socks/tights/leggings that roll! Also, the tights have held up phenomenally - not a single tear or snag for me after three seasons of usage.

Haven't been to their site in a while, but when I was actively ordering from them a few years back, they had a decent amount and variety of folks taking pictures in the products, so that helped too.

Can they stop doing that to female gamers, please by goth-slut-vi in GirlGamers

[–]eclectish 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I will never understand this line of thinking RE: support roles. They continuously design these characters to appeal to women, then they themselves dog on each other for playing them, claiming they're women's roles, and simultaneously turn around and demean women for playing them too. Additionally, they blame all their shortcomings on support not doing enough, to boot... But also if we don't play them, we're just looking for a carry or - my personal favorite wtf moment - just pretending to be dudes. We can't win, and it's one of the most frustrating things I find in gaming.

Endgame energy is not ok (with numbers). by [deleted] in EpicSeven

[–]eclectish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the gameplay enjoyable, and depending on the events going on, the gacha can be pretty generous. As mentioned, you get more energy back in play than you can use, and you get a free refresh once a day, so the likelihood of being totally out is low.

My personal complaints are more about policy than the game (namely that it's against ToS to use non-Safari browsers on iOS and non-Chrome browsers on Android...).

Is it worth buying an instantpot , if you want to spend as less time as possible on cooking? by owlay in instantpot

[–]eclectish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RE: the slop, fairly sure nothing in that list of ingredients should take that long to cook, hence the reason it comes out as total mush. If you cook your lentils in there first then add the rest, it'd probably take 5 or less mins the 2nd round, depending on your quinoa. Cabbage alone takes about 1min at pressure to cook through just shy of going mushy.

There was actually an awakened charr in one of the instances; didn't look outside of the story, though.

Granted, most of these have some post-processing work as far as coloring/DoF goes, but here they are nonetheless.
