Meh. I, too, am forced to have Optimum because they have a legally-mandated monopoly on being the cable/internet provider around hereā€¦ literally, none of the other providers are able to offer service in this area. I donā€™t pay for cable TV though, thatā€™s basically another $60/month streaming service to meā€¦ they offer less than the real streaming services, too.

That has a nice realistic spin, certainly. :wink: On the other hand, I already have politics if I want to watch a bunch of terrible people who have enough money, power and PR to stay looking goodā€¦ I do at least have Amazon Prime, though. Iā€™ve been meaning to watch it eventually, maybe now thatā€™ll end up being sometime this year at leastā€¦

Hey now, some of us across the southern border are fluent in both! Donā€™t lump me in with those ā€œImperial is superiorā€ folk!

All my 3D modeling is in metric and MMā€™s usually.
Diving I use both because I never know where my divers are from. 30M is VERY different from 30FT. Same with BAR vs PSI for air pressure. 200 Bar is a full tank, 200 PSI is 300-500PSI lower than you want to finish your dive with :rofl:
Regarding cannabis, trying to measure rosin / additives by imperial is also a joke, thats all grams :smiley:

I am forced because NO other cable company wants to run that much cable thru my town to be able to compete, and Optimum has a lock on their lines. DSL I was too far from a switching station. So I have no choice.

Highly recommend watching The Boys. Youā€™ll laugh at the cynical twist on superherosā€¦

Whatever nationality it is itā€™s needless! Whatā€™s funny is if itā€™s your normal then itā€™s just how you do it but if itā€™s not it looks super pretentious, like you stuck a pinky in the air while saying it :laughing:

Not in general. I just have a bias against superhero stuff so if itā€™s related to it then I need more convincing.

They map that shit out intentionally and agree on regions to screw their customers without lube. Donā€™t like it? Well then your options are take it or not have internet or cable! I understand how it got here with them paying to build the infrastructure back in the day but weā€™ve updated plenty of shit to reflect the change in times and itā€™s criminal that this hasnā€™t been addressed.

Shouldnā€™t native Americans have a legally-mandated monopoly onā€¦ well, most of the country, then? :stuck_out_tongue: Screw them though, they donā€™t have enough of a lobbying budget. This is the only state Iā€™ve ever lived in where it wasnā€™t simply taken for granted that any cable company could offer service anywhere, as long as there were lines. Not entirely surprisingly, this is also the worst service Iā€™ve ever had. Iā€™d call and threaten to switch, but itā€™s just useless - theyā€™ll laugh and tell me go ahead, and Iā€™ll end up right back on the phone with them asking to turn my laggy internet back on.

Well, ok, honestly itā€™s probably about average service. I canā€™t remember what kind of service other companies give though, and I canā€™t switch anymore to find out. :wink: Used to be that I could, and after all the fees and pain-in-the-ass engineer visits to switch such-and-such widget in the wall, Iā€™d realize it was stupid because it was still over the same cable and they all have the same hangups. Now Iā€™m stuck with them. :man_shrugging:

Is it normal that I wanna start different grow journals for different plants?
Or am I supposed to put all my plants in a single thread?

Up to you. I split mine into 2 journals but they will both have a sign up so I had to split it into separate threads. I suppose itā€™s really a question of is there a reason to do it.

I think if itā€™s a repro or something with signups then itā€™s necessary imo. I started a second for the Landos one. But am just keeping my regular grow adventures on my TSTā€™s thread.

Thatā€™s how I looked at it. If there isg a reason to separate things than so be it. In the end itā€™s really up to the user.

I do notice some people are overzealous and create threads constantly to ask single questions that already have threads for them. It seems some just hate to search for anything.
