I have my Frontier fiber installation scheduled for later this month. I'm positively giddy for my call to cancel Comcast once I know the new setup works.

No matter how many times they rebrand or try to bring people back, they're a shitty company and I'll do my damnedest to never give Comcast another penny.

Our household hasn't had cable TV in years, better part of a decade at this point, but Spectrum has been, sadly, the *best* ISP we've had. And we've had Google Fiber and T-Mobile 5G in the past 3 years. So maybe they've found their niche as both Google and T-Mobile failed miserably.

And I'm so sick of "Up to 1Gb"...either it gets 1Gb or it doesn't. It's fucking binary. If you're advertising 1Gb, you need to deliver. Especially when they trot out bullshit like, "That's not intended for Wifi...only direct Ethernet connections." Who still connects home computers physically anymore aside from networking nerds like me? And even then I'm still maxing out at like 600Mbps.

Ah yes, idiots always think random facebook posts are the same as actual experts.

In this case the official line from the Republican party was lies and misinformation about covid and vaccines. Is that what you mean? The lies of the alt-right?

Oh, are you an antivax moron pretending the CDC lied?

Shell is interesting study/company. Back in 2021 they released a white paper claiming that peak oil was reached in 2019, and that whitepaper market the shift in Shell as a company. They reduced investment in new oil rigs and wells, they pocket (or rather pay out) extra profits (from money not invested into new oil wells) and they seem to be trying to switch both from "growing demand" to "stable demand" and from "oil company" to "renewable company". They might pull it off, they might not, but this will be studies for decades.
