If I had a nickel for every time a full power cycle fixed it all, I’d be rich. However, if you did power cycle before and call in again, often it’s an issue that needs deeper investigation. In that case, the tech can likely watch the process of your equipment coming online in realtime to see where the issue is happening. Network entry, authentication, package application, DHCP, it can often be monitored as it’s happening. A reboot while on the phone starts the process right from the beginning so it can be monitored to determine what happens immediately and what happens after it sits for a while.

1. Unplug the power
2. Wait ~30 seconds, just to ensure it’s good and off
3. Plug it back in

Fortunately there are no commands to enter or buttons to click. They’re designed to handle losing power.

I work in the magical world of ISPs. If you’re having an internet issue, reboot your router and/or modem before calling in. It may not seem like much to you, but many background processes happen when you do so. This can be useful to troubleshoot where the issue lies. There’s a reason why techs will make you do so when calling in. And yes, they can tell on their end if and when you do so. So don’t bullshit them by saying you already did it if you didn’t.

Little do you know this man is a Stand user.

I feel you. Not banned from Reddit but I avoid it out of principle. The Market 76 discord can be a good community to chat with, they have people on all platforms. You can also find some good gear there too.

I switched from PS5 to PC because the game crashed multiple times a day on PS5 versus literally not a single time on PC. None of my friends went with me, so I understand where you're coming from.

Been charging my phone overnight for years. Battery health is 100% and I never have to worry about charging.

Our table always drinks coffee during a session regardless of time of day. As for snacks, whatever looks appealing from the local dollar store.

I was always partial to “Lego guys” myself.

Ah, the classic sad onion.

It’s a silly response to a silly meme. If this is how butthurt you get over such an innocuous comment, I highly recommend you touch grass. Soon.

For those of us who have ages in the double digits… who and what?

That is, if you’re still using Google search…

What's a viable alternative? Bing seems to be just as rah rah AI as Google, DDG gives me oranges if I search for apples... if there is an actually useful search engine out there that isn't actively in the process of becoming enshittified, I would absolutely love to know.

You get us a helicopter, I’ll grab the nuke.

Subsidize healthy foods and active lifestyle choices and I'm all for it. But when I'm paying $17 to make a salad versus like $5 to make a cheeseburger, my money's going to the burger.

Pretty much. But publicly MSG still has that “ooo scary and harmful” stigma to it. It’s no more harmful than salt or sugar, but some weird racism against Chinese immigrants in the 40s created that stigma.

My solution to making home cooking taste better than fast food was buying a fat sack of MSG and using it in everything. Truly it’s the king of flavor.

Nice

When Conker’s Bad Fur Day is available with unlocked resolution and widescreen, let me know.

But if the paper nation flanks us we’ll be at a stalemate. We have a conundrum.

Stick every time. Stick is a sword, a walking tool, a measure, a prybar. Rock is rock. You can throw it. You can hit stuff with it. That’s about it.
