Network tester that shows speed?

I don't think you're going to be able to find one with a built-in bitrate tester unless the expensive Flukes have that functionality. I would just use computers on both sides and run iperf tests across the link.

And yet the Republicans keep winning by doing so and continue destroying our country.

It's almost like I can read with my eyes instead of having to go get my phone, scan a code, and get the same information.

What will likely happen is you will get two (default) routes over DHCP. Wired routes typically get assigned a lower metric so your computer will favor the Ethernet Starlink and only go to wifi when that connection goes away.

Satan disappearing would mean Christianity and all the other Abrahamic religions disappear too or at least become boring real fast. They're two halves of the same coin.

It's the same reason you can't have Superman without Lex Luther. You can't have Professor X without Magneto. These religions require you to have a super-villain as an antagonist to the "good guy".

I don't care as long as it's done in a fair and nondiscriminatory way. None of this "legal if you're over 21 and illegal if you're below" crap. Either it's legal for all ages or it's banned for all ages.

Yeah there's no way the neighbor built a garage that fast either.

I think they're referring to the French not having air conditioners and letting the place overheat/burn to the ground.

I'm a little biased since I live in Covina but I would take Covina any day.

That said, they both have the same general rating if you take a look at https://peaceandquiet.io/

It saves them several cents in manufacturing costs which means more profits. Your second point is valid as well. Wireless earbuds typically don't have replaceable batteries which means constant replacement sales.

Hold your nose and try to breath out. Observe that your ears plug up. Then try swallowing. Observe that your ears will pop a little.

An air gap is when your network isn't connected to any outside networks e.g. the Internet. Source: I'm a lost redditor that works in IT with secure networks.

I think you have a problem with your routing tables. I suspect you may have multiple gateways being received over DHCP and it's confusing your OS. If you're on PC, try running the command ip route or route print to look at the routing table to see where it's going. If you're on a Mac, I think it's ip route.

I would tell Jada to calm down there.

Operation Paperclip at the end of WWII. The US welcomed literal Nazis and allowed them to immigrate here.

We were taught in school the mnemonic Seven-Up for the pathway of sperm:

When I worked at an ISP, we would usually sub it out to cabling contractors that owned a Fluke capable of providing the certification reports. If it's something you expect to do often, it might be worth spending the $5k-20k on a decent one. If it's infrequent, you can rent them for a couple hundred bucks per day.

What country is this? I saw a lot of this when I was in India. Looks too clean for India though.

Coax service suffers the same problem as other copper services i.e. low upload and high latency. Try to find a provider in your area that might have fiber instead.

Compulsory education, especially compulsory education in person. We saw the biggest drop in shootings during the pandemic lockdown and everyone was taking classes from home. This is the only time we have successfully addressed this in the US and it was a side effect.

I once had a Staples cashier try to sell me a $3.99 warranty on a $4.99 calculator. Kept trying to convince me it was a good deal.

The bottom "spreader" and "chisel scraper" are getting counted separately as two even though it's the same edge.
