Never. Too pointy.

We can and have. It’s Multi-Link Operation (MLO) which was part of WiFi 7 standards. Here’s how it works.

My router has it and it is indeed quite fast, but it’s new technology. There are currently very few client devices that support MLO.

This is correct, especially at lower speeds. Greater fuel efficiency would come from lower wind and drivetrain resistance and use of a more efficient range of the motor’s powerband.

Most vehicles are geared for optimal speed to fuel consumption around 55-65 mph (90-100 kph) not 70+ mph (110+ kph). So just going a bit under the speed limit can have a significant impact on fuel consumption.

A lot has happened in the few days since this article was published, and is still happening.

Columbia University’s board is facing new pressure from a group of House Democrats to "act decisively"

In short, they did. Students and faculty are not happy right now.

I have nothing against practical monogamy save for this. You must free the ones you love before they can freely choose you.

It’s why insisting on lifetime guarantees of sole-possession is the worst possible way to soothe your jealousy or fear of abandonment.

If you can’t let go of that fear long enough to put someone else’s happiness first, it doesn’t matter how many oaths, contracts or incentives you use to fortify your conquest. You will never know what real trust feels like.

Just muscles?

It tells your peripheral nervous system to grow and optimize wiring to increase recruitment and activation, attenuate signal noise, boost reflexes and responsiveness, and improve sensory feedback.

It tells your circulatory system to branch out with many small vessels and more limber large vessels, all with improved resource transmission and lots more oxygen.

It tells your connective tissues you need higher quality rigging with less friction.

It tells your bones they need to shape the fuck up and increase their density.

It tells your endocrine system to quit being cheap and give you the good stuff.

It tells your immune system to chill out and focus.

And much more. Ultimately the supply chain requirements for the additional work leaves no system untouched.

In newer construction, especially high-rise apartments, there’s a lot less dust. But in older buildings, it’s just an endless torrent, and the solution has been…

Robot vacuums

While they must be maintained, and won’t work well if you’re not diligent about picking up and keeping obstacles off the floor, they make it far easier to keep the whole house clean by reducing the overall volume of interior dust and debris inside the building envelope.

To illustrate (this will be gross) I change the bags about every month and weigh them and it’s usually ~1 kg (~2 lbs) per bag, and each year they remove roughly 30-40 kg (70-90 lbs). And every time I’ve cut them open to see what’s causing all the weight (or make sure nothing important was eaten) it appears to be mostly dust and hair.

It’s freaky thinking how all of that would be floating around, settling on surfaces, collecting in corners and crevices, saturating carpets and upholstery, and of course getting breathed in constantly. Instead I don’t have to manually dust and vacuum very often and our indoor AQI is usually better than outside.

So yeah. Robots.

lol the dig at middle children got me. I don’t even know what it insinuates but it feels delightfully petty.

Formally, market efficiency makes this impossible without price fixing.

Practically, UBI does result in mild inflation of consumer prices in most models, but it’s because the market changes shape slightly to meet new consumer demand, as opposed to a blanket price increase of everything.

Agree with others but would add “pump cover,” especially if it looks like they’ve been at it a while.

Lifters often wear a hoodie or an oversized shirt for their warmup sets. Once their muscles look slightly bigger (pumped) due to increased tone and circulation, off goes the pump cover.

This grand reveal is usually for the benefit of other lifters in the vicinity and isn’t necessarily sexual in nature.

Edit: not judging anyone. I do it too.
