My Dad got us a fancy VCR that could fast forward to chapter markers we could manually add to each vhs. Of course, fast forward wasn't instant, and sometimes the marker on the tape would get corrupted over time...

I'm sure you're right. I'm also certain it's an asinine, braindead strategy that'll never work.

Project 2025 is an absolutely vile, evil plan. But don't make shit up; you're not doing anything constructive to fight them by telling outright lies.

Sure, why not? I can use a new brother.

Oof.

And I read it wrong like multiple times.

Thank you

I generally overshoot when it comes to the hardware specs, if I can. That way you're prepared in advance if you end up having the option to upgrade your Internet connection.

Otherwise, you may find yourself locked in to the slower plan due to the cost of upgrading your hardware.

But, sometimes you have to choose realistic over optimal, of course. So in other words, I do not think I know what's best for you! Just offering a perspective that has worked for me, in case it helps you in some way as you evaluate the choice that's best for you.

Faster? Sure. Significantly? No. Not at the unfathomably large scale we're talking about. When adopted to these ridiculously huge distances, the effect the increase in speed modern technology might allow will quickly diminish.

Furthermore, the nearest black hole is a hell of a lot farther away than the Voyager craft have so far made it to. Just ridiculously farther.

I'm pretty confident this is not realistic at all until we managed to make some significance leaps forward in the relevant technology.

I use Firefox with the udm14 extension for Google - gives me only the web results. No AI, no shopping, images, etc, only website results.

I used to hear my dad repeat Faux talking points about how "gerrymandering isn't even real" or some BS. It's been so tempting to throw it back in his face - but I know that won't be worth my time, so why bother.

Considering the Voyager probes were launched almost almost 50 years ago, I don't know how realistic this goal would be.
