I had satellite internet a few years ago. It was dreadful. The latency makes it impossible to do any modern gaming or anything like that. Unless they’ve solved the latency issue I’m staying far away from this.
Same, and they locked me in for 2 years for subpar performance that they lied about. Literally a $200 a month joke. Company started with the same letter as Hell.

Well, now this is interesting:
The Pope to miss three upcoming events due to leg pain:
www.thehill.com...
If you're the Pope don't you have to be practically dying to miss events?
Made me think of this...
Santa Anna's leg? Come and take it.
My kids doing a report on the Alamo and told me about Santa Ana’s leg and that they still have it.

As far as I know, most of us around here have not spontaneously gone insane recently either.
I would agree with that.
However I think there is a lot of hopium going around that might continue backfiring on them .

Nope, not at all, I prefer a no-government world... as my ancestors lived before colonialism
I thought it is interesting to note that this is actually a patch of common ground that probably most of us share. We mostly want less government in the world and in our day to day lives, if not quite so far in that direction as you yourself are. We mostly probably tend to align pretty closely on this particular viewpoint.

How did you feel about 12/21/12?
I have only had a can of Hopium the whole time. I wanted things corrected where liars get away with major ones to the public. You will notice I always said what I think things appear and how I hoped evil cabal members would get their come to Justice/Jesus moment. I want it done legally.
I am hoping the evil gets a short sheet real soon.
Yes, a moving date was bad news IMO but I am not in charge of any thing but my self. I can still hope and that is why I can wait. What is a few more weeks to decide that hope for that event needed to stop this evil, was missed. We have nothing to lose. I have done the best I can to share and maybe people heard it.
Hopium's the best, man! I'm getting a nice warm fuzzy just typing about it!
Seriously though, nothing wrong with hoping for a beneficial future outcome in world events, as long as you don't hang too many of your hopes on it. Movements happen in such ways, when people hoping for a positive change in the world become a part of that change that they want to see.
We are all a part of it and participating. Lack of participation is participation in the outcome. I believe educating your friends with sourced data is our best foot forward. Censorship of speech prevents the facts from coming forward. What should we do about that?
I hear you. Education and dissemination of the right information to the people seems like the way to go. It can hopefully inspire some of the kinds of changes we'd like to see in this country and the world. Censorship though...
I don't know the answer yet other than competing institutions that run the risk of being excluded from the market, but I think there is more than one way to skin a cat, so there is probably more than one way to reach the public and share information.

As far as I know, it’s impossible to get past the latency issue with satellite internet due to the whole speed of light thing. No matter what, the signal has to go up into space and then come back down.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (Jan. 20, 2021) – On Tuesday, a Missouri Senate committee held a hearing on a bill that would take on federal gun control; past, present and future. Passage into law would represent a major step toward ending federal acts that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms within the state.
Sen. Eric Burlison (R-Battlefield) filed Senate Bill 39 (SB39) on Dec. 1. Titled the “Second Amendment Preservation Act,” the legislation would ban any entity or person, including any public officer or employee of the state and its political subdivisions, from enforcing any past, present or future federal “acts, laws, executive orders, administrative orders, court orders, rules, regulations, statutes, or ordinances” that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms.
On Wednesday, the Senate General Laws Committee held a hearing on the bill. Burlison testified, predicting that President-Elect Joe Biden’s administration will push for gun control. “Gun bans directly, magazine bans, attacks on private gun manufacturers, red flag laws and restrictions on individual citizens from buying firearms,” Burlison said.
Under the proposed law, infringement on the right to keep and bear arms would include the National Firearms Act of 1934, the Gun Control Act of 1968. Pres. Trump’s bump-stock ban, proposed federal “red-flag laws,” and any future gun control schemes implemented by the federal government.
The federal government relies heavily on state cooperation to implement and enforce almost all of its laws, regulations and acts – including gun control. By simply withdrawing this necessary cooperation, states and localities can nullify many federal actions in effect. As noted by the National Governors’ Association during the partial government shutdown of 2013, “states are partners with the federal government on most federal programs.”

The entire inauguration thing was so un-traditional, not just parts of it, but the entire thing from start to finish. A pretend inauguration.
