My unicorn is invisible and pink.

Can it still involve their genitals?

Have you blocked me yet? If not, it might save time to do it now…

There are electric cars that are not Teslas…

This is America, you might as well ask men to cut their balls off …

The timing is unfortunate… I’d like to buy a used EV, and I’ve seen a few I like on carvana with very low miles for cheap… but I’ve been living in an apartment and would have no place to change it… Now I’m buying a house with (among many other things) a 240v outlet in the garage specifically for changing an EV… But it’s going to be a couple weeks, and those used EVs are dwindling…

Seriously? I get yelled at at least once every time I ride. People have thrown drinks at me, spit at me numerous times (though their aim is generally very poor)

I’ve even been run off the road a few times, intentionally (they admitted it after I caught up with them at the next light and confronted them)

Just go read up on networking and you’ll realize that wouldn’t make sense.

That right there is you being an asshole. If that’s who you are, that’s fine, but at least be honest about it. I know I’m an asshole, so you’re not hurting my feelings any by turning it back on me.

If you would like to not be an asshole, a good start would be to accept that you don’t know everything, and just because your experience differs from mine doesn’t mean I’m wrong. It’s fully possible what I observed between 30 and 15 years ago was unusual, or maybe it was common then but isn’t now- and if you had led with that, I might have conceded that you may at least have more current knowledge than I. It’s also possible I didn’t explain myself clearly enough, and we’re just misunderstanding each other- a layer 8 problem, if you will.

you think the modem is broadcasting your computer’s MAC address.

Well, considering I was seeing arp packets from mac addresses of every other machine on my segment pretty much continuously, what conclusion would you come to?

Be less of an asshole, it’s free. I’ve been sniffing packets from cable modems since the 90s. I even remember the mac address of my first network card - 00a0cc52cac7, because mediaone gave out persistent hostnames based on your mac address before they were bought by at&t. I once putty’d into my machine from Katmandu just because I could. Incidentally, when I called at&t support to find out if this would continue, their support rep had no idea what I was talking about, and after I mentioned mac addresses, he suggested I call apple.

Every broadband connection I’ve had looks at the mac address of whatever is behind the modem, the modem essentially passes it through.

Yes. Linux can (usually though not always) drive a wifi card as an access point.

I did this 20 years ago, I can do it again…

What employer? Uber drivers are independent contractors.

I live in Phoenix. When I first moved here, I lived in a shitty apartment that didn’t maintain my air conditioning, and the condenser drain clogged and started leaking, so I had to put out buckets to catch the water. I could easily squeeze a gallon out of the air in a few hours, and that was just a 750 sqft apartment…

“relative humidity” is the percentage of water the air holds relative to how much it could hold, which varies by temperature. It can’t go negative, though it can go over 100%.

No true capitalism?

But but but capitalism, free market, competition, etc. etc. etc …

Allowed to, sure. But it would quickly be crushed by the companies that have way more resources to draw on…

It could be harder…

Bothers me because I’m in process of divorcing my wife, and she pretty much does whatever the kids want so she can be the fun parent while I am the one who worries about this kind of stuff and ends up being the boring/antifun parent. So she has probably already done whatever, and if I stop them, I’m the bad guy…
