My buddy just dropped 500 bucks on a new graphics card, and he's already complaining about it.

Paranoid? Please. I got a copyright notice from my ISP for downloading a public domain book from 1923. My router probably rats me out for searching "why is my internet so slow." At this point, I assume my smart fridge is filing reports on my questionable midnight snacks.

Read an article a while back about rodents chewing through power lines. They said it's because some wire coatings are made with soy or corn oil now. The squirrels think it's food. That explains why you see more of these chewed lines lately. Makes a real mess when they hit something important like a main line.

So does that mean the last 30% takes weeks to get? What's going on in the concrete during that long tail?

Ever see a post that's just a little too on the nose? My buddy caught one last week where a "new user" gave a super detailed review of a niche product, but every single link they posted was dead. Just a quick check of the domain registration showed it was created like two days before the post went up. Felt like someone was trying way too hard to seem legit.
