Nicely done.

It's his predictability where he really and truly shines.

NO, because we can't do it like he can.

Don't scare me like that Ghsoty.

Happy Birthday!

Gina would love to see this.

I can’t really imagine being without internet, but my life would be better without it. Only thing is I couldn’t work from home.

The fictional version of renaissance Venice from Assassins Creed…

Etymologically, the suffix is hypothesized to have derived from a word in the Proto-Indo-European language ("hand" = a person). The connotation of a person as a pair of hands, in this case as in a participating part of a group, has some inherent negative connotations when not attached to a trade (such as fire-man or horse-man). "Chinaman" would be particularly offensive because it most likely originated as a term during the period of the Californian Gold Rush and the building of the transcontinental railroad, in which Chinese laborers were defined by their status as expendable hands for back breaking and ill-paying work. In that sense, it's a form of diminutive objectification and would have similar, but far less offensive in context, negative connotation when used to describe anybody of a particular nationality. That being said it's not inherently offensive to refer in that way to people who would be direct descendants of users of that language group. The proper word in English for another English speaker would be Englishman, Scotsman or Irishman. It would not be proper for a non-English speaker like a Chinese man.

Happy Birthday!

On a side note... whole lot of N-bombs getting dropped in here.

I mean, you would know, right?

Oh, so not me. Because I'm not a cunt.

If I'm not a what?

Uh… probably not working.

Why are we translating that Ghosty?

Happy birthday and we're all really sorry.

I was gonna say… Frontier has a junction box at the end of my property, so I can literally see the fiber line from the junction box all the way to my modem. Not only that, the Frontier facility is less than a mile away. If I have an outage they don’t know about, it’s pretty easy for me to walk the 1000 steps to see where the incursion is. That being said, it’s not like there’s much you can do if you want to change providers. There’s really only two providers with infrastructure here: either it’s through cable tv and Spectrum or it’s fiber from Frontier. Everyone else would piggyback on them.

Are you on fiber? I think you've said before that you were. As much trouble as you've had for months now, the only possible explanation is that there's a break in the line somewhere.

Oh well.

Any cute new coworkers?

You probably don't have to even do that - some cats are social creatures and will be affectionate with anyone at anytime just because. If she starts showing up regularly, begging for food, she might be lost.

This, seriously. She may be an abandoned pet or at least been in close proximity to humans for a long time.
