    I've pretty much determined that it's just the connection. I have nothing on my computer taking up bandwidth, and I'm plugged directly into the modem, so the router is out of the picture. Speedtest says I'm only getting 3-4 Mbps. According to my internet package, I should be getting 10.

    Fuckin' lame.

    lol this chat bot is awkward, as they often are, but I love what happened at the end of my conversation.

    VH: hmm, it looks like i'm only getting 3-4 Mbps instead of 10. I know it says "up to" but i usually get more than that, is something going on in my area?
    Thomas: The actual speeds aren't guaranteed since a variety of external factors can affect your Internet experience. Many factors can affect speed including area usage or modem.
    Thomas: I’m sorry you are experiencing issues with your Xfinity Internet service. All technical issues with Xfinity Service are handled by our Technical Support Chat Agents.
    VH: gotcha, thanks
    Thomas: I can help direct you to our Technical chat team who can assist you with a resolution. Are you ok with me sending you to the appropriate webpage to connect to that group?
    VH: no thank you
    Thomas: I respect your decision.

    Thanks, "Thomas", at least SOMEONE respects my decisions.

    ommegang was my favorite i'd had before moving to colorado (maybe still?), which is what taught me that i think i'm the least turned off by strong/stouty stuff like oatmeal, coffee, chocolate

    would you have bought ommegang? i thought it was a NB thing you bought

    Well I get 90Mbps down, so it's not too bad, and 10 is sufficient for streaming if I'm actually getting it.

    Apparently we're getting (have?) gigabit pretty soon, so hopefully I can get in on that, although it'll be a lot more expensive.

    Unfortunately the other options in my area are all under 50Mbps down, so I'm stuck with Comcast for now.

    @desc so Caitlynn and I spend some time this afternoon messing around with The Veil and put together the character she'll be playing when Berlin 2060 finally gets off the ground. Elodie, the Honorbound, an immigrant from France who's lived in Berlin for a few years. She works as the enforcer for the institution, the sole authority behind the enforcement of Giri in Berlin. Their headquarters is this huge, imposing structure which is way out of place in the old section of Berlin - think an Egyptian tomb mixed with a Zen temple, heiroglyphs, stone gardens, holoscreens everywhere.

    We established two of the key aspects of Giri in Berlin, and the punishment for failing to live up to your duty: if you fail to repay someone for employing you, you're imprisoned, and if you fail to repay someone who protected you from harm, it's the death penalty. It's harsh, but you get fair notice - paperwork's gotta be filed and a subpoena has to be issued and read by the target before Elodie is sent to take them in (or down).

    her tools of the trade are a sniper rifle and a particle garrote

    She's pretty much gone full cyborg in the desire to fulfill her role as enforcer, including eyes with a HUD, magnifying and thermo-optic capabilities


    Have I mentioned I really like The Veil yet

    cuz I do

    It's hard knowing you can do the work of maybe 4 of your colleagues if you wanted but channel that into seeing movies and always answering questions you shouldn't know about but YOU ACTUALLY FUCKING LISTEN AND ARE CURIOUS so you're seen as a golden God

    Always show them how to get this info and be ignored generally so you're still useful even as you continually try to be as non useful as possible like you're cursed by some Greek god
