The reason why Alaska isn't part of the continental United States is because it's actually an island. Canada, as you should know, isn't real. Maps are a lie. The real Canada is a small island off the coast of South Dakota. It's entirely run by a race of lizards that are at war with a race of robotic androids (Mark Zuckerberg is one of them). They have built the birds to spy on the human race and continually collect far more data than the robots are capable of with their supposed "machine learning".
Be careful both of you, you're asking too many questions and you don't want the lizards find out. They are always watching.

[2:38:28] – I used to agree with the sentiment that games and art or media in general are luxuries and you don't need them to survive, but over time I've changed my mind on that for a few reasons.

For a lot of people, especially working class and those closer to poverty, where it's more and more difficult to find a work life balance for those who live paycheck to paycheck, gaming is one of the more affordable hobbies and experiences poorer people can have access to and genuinely have a good time with, or even socialise through games with.

Considering the state of the world where people are getting poorer, more and more people have gotten closer to gaming as a hobby, not only through online play, but through communities where they can talk about and access a medium they enjoy and can talk to each other about, whereas socialization and activities such as going out and drinking and eating out or partying is becoming more and more inaccessible to someone too busy or don't want to spend gas money going out, gaming is much more accessible.

We don't need to price the poor out of the few things they still have access to and enjoy, are poor people just supposed to survive and not have anything to enjoy? Yes, there are technically cheaper hobbies, but overall, I don't think we should be reducing access to that when it's already getting harder and harder to find a work life balance.

The poor should have access to art, entertainment, and hobbies too, pricing people out of things for the sake of a big company making more money only serves to further increase the inequality between people, and even if you were to go at the angle of survival, I would honestly add that happiness is a component to survival that is often overlooked these days also with regards to increasing mental health issues among working populations

Go full meme and name it Lab69

Electric driver does not help building a PC. The only thing I used my electric driver on is the power supply screws.

It was painful to hear this tech enthusiast's experience with Telus. What he describes is a much better version of what I have been going through here with xfinity here in the lower 48 since December 2021. After calling them almost 2 or 3 times every month, my issue is still not resolved. It won't be long I will just entirely drop them. They are unhappy with the Exodus of people from over priced TV. Guess what cable TV providers, the days of charging customers hundreds monthly for a few channels of television ARE OVER. The future has arrived, evolve, or shoot yourselves and die, I don't care which anymore. Every time I enthusiastically yelled "NO" to their offers for television, they kept up-selling me, I was done explaining. The answer is still "NO." They keep sending me new equipment and subscription upgrades to TV packages I have already refused ad nauseum. It would be easier to deal with mafia loan sharks, you know, the ones in the movies who break your legs if you can't pay back extraordinary high interest loans really fast. They apparently think they can wear me down. They aren't getting ANY more money from me, I had all my bank accounts closed, they can't charge them anymore. That's really all you can do. There are attorneys who have uploaded kits online so you can file your own lawsuit against xfinity. But their tactiic was the same, they gave me the TV and act like they did me a kind free favor, one that cost me almost $450.00 a month. I had just filed for the U.S. federal assistance program, broadband assistance, which triggered this bizaare behavior from xfinity [Comcast].

@1:44:00 (ish) Bro that's absolutely a real thing. My sister lost a bird because her downstairs neighbors smoked like chimneys. I feel for you. I hope your birds make a full recovery!

Regarding automatic billing: I have set it up for a couple of bills, but with my bank I can set a minimum, maximum or exact amount for the bill to be paid.
Any phone bill over amount x will ask me to review it on the ebanking/mobile banking. And I can also set electronic bills to always require a review (even for shared bills on our shared accounts).

I got that call. Except things ended up being worse and more expensive. FML.

Oh my God I had no idea you guys were from vancouver. Yes we've had dealings with Telus and I gave up on them I think a decade ago or so after they had bought win mobile and I was stuck with them from a decade before that when I had signed up with clarinet, and they had bought them so I think I had about 5 years with telus. But I appreciate their internet service that seems to be superior, but I've yet to commit to the fiber fiber optic thing with them

Lab32 is a terrible name. Call it Luke Tech Test. And iron out those creases out of your honeycomb, ffs.

I live in Wisconsin and I have gigibit fiber from TDS. Just found out that they specifically throttle gaming traffic by a TON for no reason. I was downloading an update for MS Flight sim and it slowed down to 200 Kb/sec. Then I connected my VPN and it went up to 500+ Mb/s…
Charging me for gigibit and then giving me something over 1000 times lower than what I paid for should be illegal.

For Luke: Not sure if you have done so yet or what the specific laws in CA are, but if you tell that 3rd party studio to stop the marketing calls or you file a class action lawsuit for failing to abide by whatever solicitation laws you have. Usually gets them to shutup pretty quick.

Valheim is one of my most played games on steam. It is a feeling that you dont get anywhere else. Valheim has its style, sticks to it and it works. 10/10 fantastic game.

f*ck smokers

I don't understand how fiber to the node is fake

"The network is the computer."

I dont think mine is that bad I have gigabit up and down fiber to the house for $125 flat per month. But they also give credits back to you over time because it's a coop.

REPLACE YOUR GUYS ISP NAME WITH COMCAST AKA XFINITY DOES THE SAME CRAP, DID THE SAME CRAP, IS DOING THE SAME CRAP. LUCKILY, OUR LOCAL UTILITY COMPANY ADDED FIBER TO THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE. I NOW PAY $65 A MONTH FOR 1GIG UP AND DOWN. AND PRICING GUARANTEE IS FOR TEN YEARS. AND NO LIMIT ON DATA. LOVE IT.

??? FF7 getting a remake instead of a pixel remaster is more likely evidence of it being better than FF6 because it takes way more resources for Square-Enix to remake something than do a remaster, meaning they believe that its worth the trouble to do so. Plus FFVII already has tons of different iterations and spin-offs because its so popular. Thanks for the hot-take Lie-nus!
