Man Builds 60-foot Tower to Get Highspeed Access
Matt Russell writes "A church was blocking the only high speed signal in town, so he decided he needed to go higher. This is the story of one man's quest to build a 60-foot reception tower in his yard and retire his modem once and for all." From the article: "Well, if you want to have a tower, you need to find one. Buying a new tower is not a good idea, since there are plenty of used ones. In my case, I was in need of a tower that was at least 50', which would cost around $1,000 USD for a new one. The way I searched was pretty simple. I spread the word around town that I was looking for one, and I drove around to see if there was a house with an old TV tower or something like that. If a 30' tower would be enough for you, go to a small town and look for TV tower. If you find one that looks to be in good shape, just go knock on the door and ask if you can buy it. At least 90% of people don't use them anymore, so it's a good place to start! "
That was wonderfully Christian of them, as well as helping their community.
Less practical, but infinitely more satisfying.
What do you mean "less practical"? I'd say that by knocking down the church, you'd increase the area's average "practical" rate by quite a bit!
oh shut up you stupid fucking idiot. digg and slashdot are not even remotely similar. slashdot cannot "repeat" from digg, and digg cannot "repeat" from slashdot. digg is dumb shit for glassy-eyed web2.0 blogger fucking complete fucking loser types. slashdot is for nerds.
And your post is another case of prejudice against Christians
When you realize that you're killing Jews?
I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive.
