Yeah that's because you took it as directed like you're supposed to

True, but as far as anyone knows that’s not a risk amplified or mitigated by climate change. Shouldn’t affect prices like a growing wildfire or hurricane threat would

If you're in Oregon or Washington and west of the Cascades your house is worth what it's valued. The wildfire threat almost entirely stops at the mountains.

Unfortunately the smoke doesn't but it looks like the rest of the continent is getting it lately too.

Detroit definitely is. Stuff is cheap there and things are turning around, just doesn't have the momentum or wider recognition of any of this yet.

There's a reason why Portland Oregon was so well known for being weird. Parts of the city were dingy for a long time but if you were glass half full about that it meant living there was affordable. All the poor creatives could live in a city open to change, not just the folks with high paying bullshit jobs that normally are the only ones who can afford to live close to work in the city.

If I had the money to invest in some real estate, I would have bought stuff in the Detroit area since it's got all the same ingredients to be the next Portland

That headline reads like it belongs on The Onion

I would assume hot earl gray tea came up in that conversation somewhere?

So Twitter is suing because they're no longer getting money from people who are boycotting them 🤔

Probably. They gotta appeal to the casually racist voters too

We're rooting for you guys 💪

I very much am hoping that Gretchen Whitmer gets picked for VP. Trump picked Vance to draw in the Midwest votes, Gretch could easily kick him in the balls if picked

I think that's shallow water they're walking through

 

I have a family member living on my property in a separate but adjacent living space, close enough together to share my router's wifi. She likes to let her youtube app endlessly autoplay talking head news videos at full volume due to her hearing loss, and this goes on for a few hours in the mornings. The sound through the walls is annoying but headphones block enough that it's a non-issue as long as I can load something to play through them. The real rub is that I also would like to do something on the laptop during breakfast and her neverending news autoplay eats up all the bandwidth I am paying for when I want to use it. I can't cut off her internet, but I could prioritize my traffic over hers in the morning so that I can load an episode of something and listen through headphones. Yes I know this would be a bit unscrupulous but I have already suggested she not doomscroll via youtube all morning, to no avail.

Setting up a separate ISP account for the adjacent space isnt an option for the time being. The router/modem combo is ISP-issued and locked down by default due to too many service calls from people breaking stuff in settings. As far as I know it is not able to be swapped out to an off-the-shelf due to this being fiber optic internet, plus I'm only so-so in tech knowledge.

Which leads me to the title, can I put the ISP-issued router in a faraday cage, connect my own router via ethernet and be able to control settings via that route? Any reason I shouldn't/couldn't?
