    I wouldn't ask 'What does Trump think?' because I don't like him I need to think the opposite.

    Fucking irrelevant. Think for yourself FFS.
    sesh, I know exactly what you do here. So why hasn't the Roth Army moved to a Quantum FFT's provider and just placed a MAC address on the consumer item QAM, ( ie TV, modem, PC)? Is Europe still dealing with ODFM transmission issues requiring a good old fashion linear power amp on the carrier or is the FCC just missing another opportunity to look over somebody's shoulder and make sure providers charge everyone the same for no blocking, no throttling, and no paid prioritization?

    BTW, I used to know one of the engineers at Richweb who worked on the bridging. So close to DC to turn down better money.

    good luck with your sink...

    Nothing has changed yet. So the FCC voted.

    It does not change anything.

    Net Neutrality cancellation has to be voted on by Congress to become law.

    Goddam chickens. Cackling and going apeshit when nothing has happened yet.

    FCC regulations are not law. They are regulations and if you look harder into the so called net neutrality regulations all they do is give internet providers like Comcast equal access to the internet. They do nothing to stop Google, Facebook, and Twitter from giving their customers neutral access to their services. In short net neutrality protects Google's ability to censor content. Not very neutral in my book. Clever to call it net neutrality though. It's anything but neutral.

    I'm not sure why Burger King is suddenly interested in Net Neutrality. Maybe they're afraid Mickey D's will get preferential treatment online because Cheeto eats their shitty cheeseburgers & fish sandwiches.

    I applaud them in their efforts to take the message to the people, for whatever reason though. God knows they ain't going to hear it from the corporate media (especially networks owned by Scumcast & Time Whorener)

    Bernie supporters prefer healthy food. I haven't eaten at Burger King in probably 10 years. Or Mickey D's for that matter. Subway's about as "fast food" as I get anymore, and that's only a few times a year.

    Subway aren't that bad for you relatively speaking if you avoid the meatball marinara.

    The calories at Burger King are nuts, I think worse than McDs. If you are going to have 1000 calories of fast food there are always better options than a Burger King burger with no fries or soda. I think one of their burgers on it's own is 1200+ and if you had it for lunch you would still be a bit hungry, I don't know how they do it.

    Ok I had to go look it up and I was exagerating slightly. Here it is, the BACON KING Sandwich - 1150 calories. Ignoring all the stuff about nutritian/fat and so on, if for your dinner all you had was that and a glass of water, I think the average person would still be a little bit hungry or not satiated which is my point.



    Incidently in the same way as the 'Royale with cheese' thing from Pulp Fiction, in the UK that is called a bacon double which is not as cool a name as a BACON KING!

    Anyhoo sorry a bit off topic...

    The Jack in the Box "Ultimate Cheeseburger" was about 1250 calories, if I remember correctly. Used to be one of my favorite meals back in the bar hopping days, since their drive thru was open late. Now I know how it was able to absorb all that alcohol. It was double meat, double cheese, double bacon. Tasted great, but one bite will probably harden an artery or two.

    On the other hand, Wendy's seems to have taken a whole new approach to their menu.....

    Wendy's Baconator is 940 calories. Much better to make something similar at home.

    How come people count calories when they eat fast food and don't give a damn when they drink beer? Hell even hard liquor is loaded with calories. You can eat your way fat or drink your way fat. I guess this is where the cocaine comes in to save us.

    This is the whole approach - eat low fat mayo all week and you have saved up enough calories to drink a bottle of vodka come Friday.

    Once again we see how SESH's slavery knows no bounds. Chubghey food is gross. The meat(s) are all processed, heavily full of sodium (which is why that shit taste so dry) and the same for their "nutritious veggies." And it's not the god damn calories in a Booger Fling Schlopper that will kill you, it's the god damn sodium which is way, way, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY above the RDA limit.



    And don't get me started on the slaughterhouse barfed-up shit cum (Heart) Blocko Smell uses.

    Bud Light is #1 overall, followed by Coors Light and Miller Lite

    Budweiser no longer is among the top three best-selling beers in the U.S., according to Beer Marketer's Insights, as people drink less beer or switch to craft brews, wine or spirits.

    Miller Lite has supplanted Budweiser as the No. 3 favorite beer, behind No. 1 Bud Light and No. 2 Coors Light, according to 2017 estimates from the trade publication, which has tracked the industry for more than 40 years.

    Washington Becomes the First State to Approve Its Own Net Neutrality Rules

    time.com
    Net Neutrality: Washington Becomes 1st State to Set Up Rules
    Rachel La Corte / AP
    4-5 minutes

    (OLYMPIA, Wash.) — Washington became the first state Monday to set up its own net-neutrality requirements after U.S. regulators repealed Obama-era rules that banned internet providers from blocking content or interfering with online traffic.

    “We know that when D.C. fails to act, Washington state has to do so,” Gov. Jay Inslee said before signing the measure that lawmakers passed with bipartisan support. “We know how important this is.”

    The Federal Communications Commission voted in December to gut U.S. rules that meant to prevent broadband companies such as Comcast, AT&T and Verizon from exercising more control over what people watch and see on the internet. The regulations also prohibited providers from favoring some sites and apps over others.

    Because the FCC prohibited state laws from contradicting its decision, opponents of the Washington law have said it would lead to lawsuits.

    Inslee said he was confident of its legality, saying “the states have a full right to protect their citizens.”

    The new law also requires internet providers to disclose information about their management practices, performance and commercial terms. Violations would be enforceable under the state’s Consumer Protection Act.

    While several states introduced similar measures this year seeking to protect net neutrality, so far only Oregon and Washington have passed legislation. But Oregon’s measure wouldn’t put any new requirements on internet providers.

    It would stop state agencies from buying internet service from any company that blocks or prioritizes specific content or apps, starting in 2019. It’s unclear when Oregon’s measure would be signed into law.

    Washington state was among more than 20 states and the District of Columbia that sued in January to try and block the FCC’s action. There are also efforts by Democrats to undo the move in Congress.

    Governors in five states — Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Montana and Vermont — have signed executive orders related to net-neutrality issues, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

    Montana’s order, for instance, bars telecommunications companies from receiving state contracts if they interfere with internet traffic or favor higher-paying sites or apps.

    Big telecom companies have said net neutrality rules could undermine investment in broadband and introduce uncertainty about what are acceptable business practices. Net-neutrality advocates say the FCC decision harms innovation and make it harder for the government to crack down on internet providers who act against consumer interests.

    The FCC’s new rules are not expected to go into effect until later this spring. Washington’s law will take effect in June.

    Messages left Monday with the Broadband Communications Association of Washington, which opposed the bill, were not immediately returned.

    But executive director Ron Main said last month that its member companies “have made legally enforceable public pledges that we do not take any action to block legal content; that we do not engage in throttling; that we do not discriminate; and that we will insure that our practices are transparent to all of our customers.”

    Ron Main is a fucking liar. Scumcast is constantly throttling streams. It's apparently some automated bot process, since it seems to happen right around the same time, every hour.

    Cascadia - Home of legal weed, great beer, decent coffee, non-electrofraud voting, and now net neutrality. Now if the fucking rain would go away.....
