Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Mad_Jack]

Up until a couple years ago, there was at least one ENWorlder I knew of who was in that exact situation.

My brother lives in a "holler" down in West Virginia or Kentucky somewhere, and he had to run lines up the side of a small mountain from his house to a self-built tower for his internet. He's now basically functioning as an ISP for his neighbors.

Its actually pretty much exactly what I have been talking about for a long time, there's just nothing on it.

Mountains, Water (Lake, River access) Waterfalls, off grid but not absolutely isolated, and its a decent size. I'm struggling to think why I should not get this lol.

I'm going to make an appointment with my bank.

Make sure that there is access to it and that it's not surrounded by a bunch of property that you wouldn't be able to cross.

My people, do not trust the machine with anything, much less something important.

To be fair, while not difficult to get sodium bromide, this guy had to special order it off the internet, and it was likely labeled as a cleaner or disinfectant, not a food product.

This sounds something on the level of my doctor told to me to lose weight so I ate nothing for a week.

I mean, it's not more ridiculous than injecting yourself with bleach...

Lest I be accused of politicization, I will point out that study is from 1992 and recounts a 31-year-old man injecting himself with bleach. So, he's 64 years old today! ... Uh, assuming he didn't try any other medical experimentation...

My favorite is when you get a million likes from one person in a single thread, and you look and the thread is like three years old.

Hey when nothing current seems very interesting or valuable I start perusing older threads!

For someone who had admittedly only done something twice, you sure are adamant that you're an expert.

One night at a Holiday inn express?

Have you ever been burned out on a game that you've never even played before, because of that one person who just won't shut up about how it's the greatest and most incredible thing ever invented, and does everything so much better than those other games, and is all-too-happy to provide you with endless examples of how it doesn't suffer from the problems that people who engage in those lesser pastimes have to deal with?

Because I'm reaching that point with a certain non-D&D system that a certain poster keeps mentioning on these forums.

More than one game, more than one poster.

Some people aren't very good ambassadors.

Thankfully not. I suspect because

A) I generally manage not to judge anything by the worst or most annoying of its fans.
B) If I find a person that annoying I'm more likely to block them rather than let them negatively impact my life.

Tangent: in the context of modern slang patterns, I’m both amused and slightly horrified that “bromism” is a legit medical term. No way someone might misunderstand…

Thanks to this particular case, I've already seen "techbromism" fluttering around online, trying to find its way into the greater slang lexicon.
