    I think this would be a great use for it. Totally worth it, IMO.

    The supposed big difference in the Conexon fiber optic service as opposed to most others is that usually the fiber optic cable is run as far as the light pole or the house where it then is connected to a coax type cable which then goes into the house and then to a router, and this results in a reduction in signal strength...Conexon on the other hand, replaces the coax cable with another fiber optic cable which is run through the house and connects directly to their own type of router.

    ...hope it will be as good as advertised...but regardless, in less than a year, for me, Musk has gone from hero to zero.

    In other words, he is evil but we are supposed to look up to him because he's rich

    So much for being a free speech absolutist. Liberal Twitter users are having their accounts closed after right wing trolls complained. Musk is just a right wing trolls himself.

    What's that have to do with Hunter Bidens laptop?

    There are times when its hard to know if Musk is just trolling people, or if he actually thinks he's pulling a fast one on people and doesn't realize that he's making no sense and is just saying word salads.

    They are tweeting the narrative over a number of tweets. I'm sure they will get to it....eventually.

    but who gives a shit about it? I mean, they're acting like twitter helped Clinton, when it's obvious they helped both.

    I mean, seriously, who gives a shit? Twitter is garbage regardless.

    But ooh, popcorn emoji!

    He's just trying to get people interested in twitter. That's all that was.

    The only thing that came out of it was that musk thinks all he needed to do was say a bunch of things that sounded important to make them be important

    Nothing in the First Amendment requires anyone to pay for another person's speech. Or absolves people of criticism or ostracism for their words.

    This was totally Elon's version of the episode of the Rachel maddow show where she claimed she had a copy of Trumps tax returns, and nothing came of it cept a ratings grab.

    Or that faked letter that Dan Rather and CBS did, or the time NBC blew up a chevy truck to emphasize the saddle tanks were dangerous, or the time when someone who grossly over estimates their intelligence does anything to sound and appear smart but only fools their fellow dullards.
