Comcast in my neighborhood routinely runs ~20mbps, which is one of the fastest in the country for a non-FIOS connection (which I will likely not see in my lifetime).

It's way more than fast enough to stream full HD and do other internet tasks simultaneously, so I don't ever feel like it's slow unless I'm downloading something like a full game DVD.

That's a serious porn habit.

The closest I ever got was about 200G for the month, with two teenagers on summer break streaming Netflix.

Go to comcast.com and login with your account. Choose the "Users & Settings" tab. Near the top there is a meter showing your usage for the month.

Just once in my life I'd like to actually see a solar eclipse in the Northwest.

At least the Big One in 2017 happens in August. I'm still getting the hell east of the Cascades just to be sure.

I wonder what the Supreme Court will have to say about this.

You have to start thinking more like a politician.

Conservatives don't evolve. Ever. Under any circumstances.

I think we can all agree how much better an approach to the complexities of life this represents.

Ask yourself these two questions:

1. Is he male?
2. Is he alive?

If yes to both, then he's a wanker. Which is not imply that it's a pejorative of any kind.

People like simple answers and scapegoats. Neither usually turn out to be the real issue.

Or too lazy apparently to avail yourself of the opportunity to learn grammar or punctuation from the teacher's who no doubt tried to get you to pick it up.

Consider yourself lucky you live in this 1st world tax haven called America. You could be living in Norway, where the kids score the highest on achievement tests and the effective tax rate is about 50% higher.
