Arrest every member of the ISPs, nationalize the ISP, seize all the assets of its investors and board members, and then force the members of the ISPs to install the promised broadband systems as community service as part of their debt. Make them pay for everything, and don't allow them to file bankruptcy - all debts will pass to their children, their children's children, and all their descendents in perpetuity until the debt is paid in full. They made their bed off the backs of the American people. Now let them pay it all back in full.

I usually cook, but every now and then I get a craving for cheese stuffed crust pizza. It's not a daily thing! xD
TIL. I guess there's good CEOs after all? Also never knew Little Caesars sold stuffed crust pizzas. I'll be ordering that for dinner! Thanks!
TIL. Looks like they're out of stuffed crust at my local grocery, but I'll buy them next time they're available. Thanks!
Please elaborate, or point us in the direction of some book, video or resource that might parallel the two? I'd love to learn more.
Ah, but see, the beauty of the English language is that 50% of the time we don't actually care whether something is spelled properly unless it's formal academic writing or something official. We can make do with whatever, and guesstimate our way through almost anything!
The written word. Just think about how much that has completely revolutionized communication all around the world. We can receive firsthand accounts of events from thousands of years in the past, on the other side of the world, from a civilization that hasn't existed since the Pyramids. We can learn the sagas and myths of countless cultures around the world. There's a good reason that the very act of writing itself was considered magical for eons. In many ways, it still is.
Where am I from? Well, it's actually an interesting story, starting with my grandmother on my mother's side, who grew up in-
Samurai. Literal nobility, regular baths, nice clothes, fitted armor, regular training, and at least during the Edo period, low risk of actually having to go into battle (doesn't apply during the prior periods of course). Good food, good rice wine, poetry and music, good literature, intellectually stimulating conversations.
Contrast a cowboy - saddle sores, dust, caked sweat from weeks without baths, cholera, gangrene, bandits, native raids, long hours, and the blazing desert sun.
And the pirate: nothing to eat but hardtack and freeze-dried cod until you make port or board a merchantman, hunted by the Royal Navy, surrounded by fellow pirates who haven't bathed since the last port call, constantly alternating between seasickness and landsickness, cramped quarters belowdecks, constant risk of drowning, and when you finally go on a raid, you're getting shot at by grapeshot and 16-pounder roundshot at effectively point-blank range.
Samurai, any day. raises cup of green tea

I learned last week that you can set up Thunderbird with Gmail and run it almost exactly like outlook, with rules and folders and all. Cut down about 3000+ emails I'd been too lazy to delete or sort on my own to zero with a few rules and folders. 10/10, highly recommend.
