You are doing better than I am. My internet is up around 60% of the time. I am the person who lives in a cabin in the woods. Right now I am actually running my PC and posting this using a generator on a flaky 3G connection that often disappears/slows down when it is overcast. The idea of requiring an internet connection to play games/operate a console is a deal breaker for me. Not that I would buy one anyway.
What seems apparent to me is that April Fool's Day is being used here as an excuse. People these days seem to be angry. If not all the time then at least a large proportion of it and many can flip into a rage cycle at the drop of a hat.
It was Ghandi's advice, he believed it better to die than fight.
I have been repeating over and over again that he who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their honour by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor. He who can do neither of the two is a burden. He has no business to be the head of a family. He must either hide himself, or must rest content to live for ever in helplessness and be prepared to crawl like a worm at the bidding of a bully.
I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence... I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor.
I would strongly recommend anyone reading this that has not seen Hitler's War (English translation) to torrent it and have a good look because IMHO Hitler was quite patient with the Allies and was trying his best to do what was right for his people. Who will be the first to yell Holocaust as a deafening response?
The gunman rose from his chair at one of the tables in the Broad Arrow Cafe,removed the AR15 and spare magazine from a sports bag, immediately killing Mr Yee Ng with a shot to the upper neck, and Miss Chung with a shot to the head. Swiveling on the spot and firing from the right hip, the gunman fired at Mr Sargent who was wounded in the head, then killed Miss Scott with a shot to the head. The gunman continued through the Broad Arrow, next killing Mr Nightingale with a shot to the upper neck and Mr Bennet with a shot to the upper neck, with the latter bullet passing straight through and hitting Mr Ray Sharpe in the head with fatal results. Next Mr Kevin Sharpe was killed by a shot to the head and was also hit in the arm, with shrapnel and bone fragments from the second intermediate strike on Mr Kevin Sharpe then apparently wounding Mr Broome, and possibly Mr and Mrs Fidler.
Still firing from the hip the gunman swiveled and killed Mr Mills and Mr Kistan with single shots to the head, with shrapnel and skull fragments from those shots apparently wounding Mrs Walker, Mrs Law, and Mrs Barker. Again the gunman turned, shooting and wounding Mr Colyer in the neck, before swivelling and killing Mr Howard with a shot to the head. Next he shot Mrs Howard in the neck and head with fatal effect. The gunman turned back, killing Miss Loughton with a shot to the head, and wounding Mrs Loughton in the back. Moving towards the rear of the building the gunman shot Mr Elliot in the head, causing serious injuries.
ELAPSED TIME 15 SECONDS...
The above sequence is the best the forensic scientists could deduce from the crime scene and there may be small variations, but in the final analysis they matter little. What does matter is that at this precise juncture the gunman had killed twelve victims and wounded a further ten in 15 seconds flat, using only 17 rounds fired from the right hip. Such a staggering performance is on a par with the best combat shooters in the world, and two retired counter-terrorist marksmen ruefully admitted they would be hard pressed to equal such awesome speed and accuracy. Both agreed that attributing such a performance to an intellectually-impaired invalid with an IQ of 66 and severely limited cognitive functions, amounts to nothing less than certifiable insanity on the part of Bryant's accusers. In military terms a fatal shot to the upper neck counts as a head shot, so for all practical purposes those who died during the first 15 seconds were killed by head shots fired with lethal accuracy from the gunman's hip.
Next the very professional gunman moved towards the area of the souvenir shop and killed Nicole Burgess with a shot to the head, then shot Mrs Elizabeth Howard through the chest and arm with fatal consequences. Swivelling around,the gunman killed Mr Lever with a shot to the head, and killed Mrs Neander with another shot to the head. Temporarily distracted, he fired back into the cafe area and wounded Mr Crosswell. Turning again he shot Mr Winter twice, killing him with a shot to the head. On his way back to the souvenir area the gunman wounded Mr Olson, then proceeded to the kill-zone near the locked door where he killed Mr Jary, Pauline Masters, and Mr Nash, all of them with single shots to the head.
At this stage the gunman had killed twenty and wounded another twelve with a total of 29 rounds. He then stopped firing and changed magazines in a most professional way.
They're not just annoying some can even possibly get you gaoled. I was once browsing the seedy underside of the web(many years ago now) and got ten pages pop up covered in thumbnails of child porn. When I finally shut them all down a last page popped up warning me about the FBI and offering to sell me evidence eliminator.

That's why education is so important.
So you know just how much you are being screwed by and how it's being done?

Salaries are very high? I wouldn't bother wiping my arse with 60k
Like it would ever get out of Compton! It's a rock so it would have been smoked by now.
Why even bother?
Even with a preview button I lose
You honestly cannot see it?
You're trying to claim that bullies are the reason this country is the way it is?
A lot of people outside of the US might just agree with that. The US is perceived as a bully by a large chunk of the planet.
Can you do that with a car breaking down not an analogy?
Why do Americans think that therapy can cure everything? It is the ultimate cop out.

I wonder who said the above?

You could even sell the rights to streaming media of the event. I am sure millions will subscribe.
I am sick getting sick and tired of people correctly spelling you're on /.

and if you couldn't afford the air they would probably try to charge you for the plastic bag that non-payment dictates has to be put over your head.
Someone is going to post your picture to twitter soon
This wasn't a photograph taken on the street. This was a photograph taken at a trade event and may be covered by certain rules.
Does the similarity between the two cases jump out at you?
