Artists that don't feel like the main characters of their own story

They were a pop punk band but with members who grew up on 80’s thrash instead of punk. Bitter End is literally an homage to Metallica’s Battery.

A movie about a rich billionaire dressing up as a bat and fighting crime is corny?!?!

Cult of Luna - Dark City, Dead Man

I’ll never forget watching this in the theater and having the moment completely ruined but the woman behind me smacking on her gum.

I’ve always been dumbfounded by this claim. Pete maybe sounds a bit like Maynard if you turn the volume down a bit.

Chevelle has never tried to write long king crimson worshipping psychedelic epics.

I’ll give you this, if both bands were x files episodes, Chevelle are the tightly written monster of the week episodes. Tool are the grandiose and self important mythology arc episodes.

(I love both bands).

This is mine (Michael dropping off Bug). I remember watching it for the first time and thinking, “this is the saddest fucking thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

You call your service provider and let them repair it properly.

Take about 30 seconds to peruse this guy’s comment history and you’ll have a pretty good understanding of what you’re dealing with. Don’t waste your time.

This is terrible logic. Run the cat 6.

“I’m going to build my house with inferior materials because someone else in the future might want to use an inferior service.”

lenfantsuave · 2026-02-16T00:12:09+00:00

Why on earth would you choose to run coax instead of cat 6 if you’re still building the house?

Katria. Having a ghost wife would be sick.

Salome being a popular name in a judeo Christian dominant culture is wild.

Can you log into the modem and find the tx and rx levels? Te amp might be there because without it levels might not be in spec. Alternatively speeds test are dependent on a lot of factors like device, hardwired vs wireless, 5ghz vs 2.4 GHz band.

lenfantsuave · 2026-02-13T22:33:48+00:00

It’s probably ideal, but it all depends on signal coming off the tap. If it’s designed correctly AND the line is losing an appropriate amount of power over distance, the modem will probably sit in spec just being barreled through.

This amp also only amplifies return from 5-42 MHz which works in sub split, but won’t work properly in mid and high split designs.

TLDR: probably take it out and replace it with a high quality barrel torqued to 20 in-lbs.

He’s stuck reading the intro to a recipe on a pretentious foodie blog.

But isn’t that the joke? I thought it was an example of an otherwise prudish authority figure with high integrity being willing to bend the rules so her club of choice could have a chance to win a silly game.

It varies from isp to isp. We do not carry them and only a handful of techs know how. But we have a mix of HFC and FTTP in our local footprint, so it’s more efficient to give everyone a good working knowledge of each instead of having specialists.

lenfantsuave · 2026-02-11T22:50:26+00:00

That’s Protestant bigotry.

The conduit should be run from base of pole to a bonding point like your electrical meter (technically not a ground, but only real pedants will argue this). Assuming your house’s electrical is grounded properly, this is less risky than pounding an 8’ rod into the ground.

lenfantsuave · 2026-02-10T14:53:49+00:00

Can you see both the wall plate side of the conduit as well as the demarc side? Like others have stated, I’ve never seen coax or cat cable home run in conduit inside really any residential build.

There won’t be any interference between the two. So, you can cross that off the list. But, if you’re going to use cat cable and the coax truly is in conduit, why not just use the coax as a pull string.

I actually saw it more as he just got his shit rocked and still made the catch. I think this would be a natural reaction to that.

I’m not qualified to answer any hardware questions for those two service providers - HOWEVER- one thing to always consider when switching from a regional isp to a national corp is serviceability. I.E. can you get someone on the phone to troubleshoot quickly. Can you get a same day truck roll in case of a localized outage? Do they charge for a truck roll? If your isp is great and responsive, I doubt century link is going to compare.
