When people talk about public education in the USA I always like to post this quote from John Taylor Gatto
In 1882, fifth graders read these authors in their Appleton School Reader: William Shakespeare, Henry Thoreau, George Washington, Sir Walter Scott, Mark Twain, Benjamin Franklin, Oliver Wendell Holmes, John Bunyan, Daniel Webster, Samuel Johnson, Lewis Carroll, Thomas Jefferson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and others like them. In 1995, a student teacher of fifth graders in Minneapolis wrote to the local newspaper, "I was told children are not to be expected to spell the following words correctly: back, big, call, came, can, day, did, dog, down, get, good, have, he, home, if, in, is, it, like, little, man, morning, mother, my, night, off, out, over, people, play, ran, said, saw, she, some, soon, their, them, there, time, two, too, up, us, very, water, we, went, where, when, will, would, etc. Is this nuts?"
Next up, when you press the start button on your new car, you get a 20 second lecture about DUI before the engine starts. If you don't gripe too loudly, they'll throw in a commercial or two.
You need to pay more attention. You wont get a lecture they want to drug test you before your car will start.
It's like my 40 year old self running around a mall shouting "I'm motherfucking Jackie Chan" while repeatedly kicking myself in the balls. On a tricycle.
The heating can use electrickery(props to Catweazle) if nec. The underfloor interweb is fed by both solar hot water and a wetback fire. Will be adding more solar panels so will have more energy to play with soon. We are very frugal energy users but I guess you worked that out from our daily average. Not as frugal as I am with grammar.
I run my entire house on an average of 6.2kW/H a day. If you need 3kW/H to keep your car warm you are doing something wrong (or live in a very cold place).

Is there something special that these routers do that cannot be achieved with a much cheaper alternative? If so, what is it?

Reading? You're kidding, right?
She only ever goes down on me
You're some sort of advanced chatbot aren't you? Your comment reminds me of some of the wierd stuff seen in the early nineties on usenet.

I would pay to see that
Leaving the USA isn't free. It's very expensive.
I have always considered that gravity is God. It's the variations in speed of light measurements that make me lose my breakfast.
Yeah! There really should be a "stupid" moderation!
and uninformedLuddite was subsequently never heard from again!
Stick it in a box and answer that again
I'm fun at a party, eh?
No. You aren't.
Some popular things, like Gold Ingots, are just harder to steal because Fort Knox has better security.
You don't really believe that there's anything more than gold plated titanium(if that) in Forty Knox do you?
Still doesn't explain the lack of tapeworm cities
If your comments ever combined with George Clooney's acceptance speech we would all be completely fscked.
Scratch my last comment. I think I love you.
I don't think you could ever find someone to love you as much as you do.

Is it a very very cold place?

Someone decided to bloody the Seppo's noses.
Can you provide me a link to this Shenanigans software of which you speak.
The majority of the public would need explanatory sentences for words used in explanatory sentences. That way lies madness.
