Oh wow, dial-up in Germany died 20+ years ago. I'm surprised that's still a thing. Well, was. But until now is really staggering. I wonder what you could even still do over such a connection, considering that even messenger services and email now use 3-5MB just completing the server handshake.

I call bullshit on this one. Their only "source" is an alleged video on Twitter, with a link that doesn't resolve (anymore?).

Really good so far, else I'd never made it to book 3. I tend to drop books nowadays if I don't really get into them right away.

Left one, I didn't even see the etching. Might as well not be there.

It's still active as in, they maintain the hotspots. But I just had a look at the map, and it looks like there's spotty service mostly clustered around tiny villages, rather than providing coverage to areas that actual get significant tourism or other visitors.

And isn't Stetson a fucking hat?

In Europe that's mostly biological progress as the old timers are jumping into the box. Not sure why it's still significantly more in the US. Lack of education and religious influence probably?
