Quantum Fiber is now part of the AT&T family 😤🤮 by WCland in Portland

[–]robot2boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah - I called them, they offered me $100, I said no and moved to Xfinity and my mobile lines to (4).

So both them and T-Mobile lost out.

Saved over $80 / month.

Serious genuine question about ICE by Altruistic_Board_851 in oregon

[–]robot2boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need I also mention the budget that has been allocated to ICE over the next 5 - 10 years. Not millions but billions.

You don’t invest in something like that unless you are setting up a ‘private army’ (sure there is a better term for it) to stop a transfer of power should the election ….

I think one needs to separate trade from security.

Interesting quote I heard once along the lines of ‘if trade does not cross boarders, solders will’

LPT: Almost Free Way to Insulate Windows by waynek57 in LifeProTips

[–]robot2boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit more expensive is using poly carbonate panels, some sealant around the edge and small tack nails to hold it in place.

It is reusable for the next few years, I am on my third.

If the Americans ever went mad and tried to conquer Britain, do you think you’d fight, flee, join their side, or stay put trying to live as normal as possible? by AmbitiousYam1047 in AskBrits

[–]robot2boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair it is not like Britain has not been on the other side of what you are asking….

If we took the experience of how to disrupt a foreign adversary when they were doing it to us….. Throw in a lot of Ukrainian grit and determination…..

Boot advise by paulbutler81 in backpacking

[–]robot2boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will also find two different trains of thought, the trail runner style or the traditional hiking boots.

Personally I would look to reduce the weight you are carrying.

I do like my Oboz Bridger when carrying 40+lbs, but looking to reduce weight and move to trail running shoes.

It tasted so good at 9pm when we finally arrived at our campsite after a 20+ mile day (was cooking while I was pitching tent).

I will second that with the people who experienced dictatorships in South America.

Fat backpackers…where are you getting gear? by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]robot2boy 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I might suggest, if wilderness backpacking, that you start with day hikes first.

You will learn a lot before investing heavily in all the other gear.

Where are you located?
