Came here to say fake and gay but damn, that last line changes everything

I try to avoid eating palm oil where I can because I don't want to be complicit in extinction but it's basically impossible to avoid.

To that end it's not at all society that is addicted. That's industry PR spin for dodging responsibility by making it seem like its consumers who have a choice. We do not.

This is the same shit as the plastic problem. Coke used to use glass bottles but switched to plastic because it costs less, and everyone else does this too. Yet the conversation is not about them choosing to be ethical, it's about how people don't recycle enough plastic.

Lol that will never happen.

Ever been out west? The hippies voted to remove fluoride from the water out here.

The crunchy karens everywhere else would never stand for more 'chemicals'

I've never heard of these things and was expecting the worst clicking through to the site someone else linked.

But there's a version that seems reasonable at $100, that's not so bad. Then I looked at the other models and, yeah that's a very expensive soup can.

I have family very seriously investigating citizenship to another country via ancestry.

Not like the past election cycles where the losing side bellyaches about moving to Canada or whatever, they're actually gathering birth certificates and planning a visit to the embassy

Naturally I should qualify for it too but that feels like a very nuclear action

Kiwis definitely the creepiest of the bunch. Imagine that running up to you in the dark and screaming

The bowl nightlight on my new bidet was a head scratcher for a couple weeks until my brother came over and knew immediately what that’s for. Peeing at 3am without sitting down.

Probably easy to find usernames by just opening a post I’d guess

Touching grass is never a bad idea though

 

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?
